cavedude: Added command #givemoney.

so maybe yours install pack is older then this?

Oh, I didn't know about #givemoney.

I just put a command in my default.pl script that has NPCs giving me some test money to work with if I give them the secret codeword.

It checks $status, too, of course. Just in case.

I just downloaded the auto installer from project eq and used the recommended versions for mysql and perl. So I am not sure what's going on. I used to play with runuo and it was much simpler to set up then this server. Too bad no one has made an admin tool that you can bring up in the game.

I, too, did not know about the give money command. When I need money, I just summon a 'bag of platinum'. Then sell to the merchant. Be careful though you may not be able to move. If you summon some j boots you can still move, slowly, but you can still move.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I updated to a more current version aside from having to redownload a newer version of perl it worked great. One item of note though, I tried to dl the newest version but the installer program said it was corrupt and it wouldn't install. http://www.projecteq.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4612
0.7.0-1129Rev233 so I installed rev 89. Although, I still can't get the #givemoney command to work. Oh well.

That's because those binaries are super old. Like, last year. EQEmu is on Rev620 as of writing this, and you're using Rev233.

Go get the newest ones here. Depending on if you want to use Bots or not, get the one you want to use.

[poet1960]

Wow, ok thanks. I have seen a bit about bots. I presume they are macros to level up your character or what? BTW what version of perl does the latest version use.
