Getting rich the easy way

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.

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.

I just had a look at that rev and it looks like I would have to do a manual install (as far as I can tell). What I currently have works, so I am a bit leery about tinkering with trying to figure out where all the files in that rev zip would go.

The latest emulator rev requires perl v5.10

Yup - than that's it. For example, let's say you were using the previous Rev497.

If you have everything set up already, just download the Rev590-instance-Bots.zip from the above address and update the SQL entries up until that revision.

Just follow a guide for setting up the server and get the updates from this address: http://projecteqemu.googlecode.com/s...nk/EQEmuServer. You're not compiling the source, but rather just getting the updates so you can stay current.

Also, using tortoise, you can get the database updates by using the PEQ address directly - http://projecteqdb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk. Just make a folder and "SVN check out" with the address.


All you would have to do is source all of the SQL files from revision 497 to 590. So you would be using these SQL files.

500_spawn2_optimization.sql
503_bugs.sql
518_drakkin_npc_type_features.sql
524_rule_values_notes.sql
527_npc_armor_tint.sql
553_saylink_table.sql
564_nokeyring.sql

There's been a ton of updates as far as the database goes for PEQ. If you can get your hands on the latest binaries for EQEmu, then by all means, update away.

Thanks for the help. I am not sure this makes a difference but the computer I am running the server on doesn't have an internet connection, I have to use a laptop to get all the files etc that I need and I noticed that some of the stuff tries to pull from the internet which isn't available on the actual system I am using. I am still kind of fuzzy on how or what to do to actually go about installing the files from the latest rev as well as I have no idea what to do with the stuff from rev627 binaries I guess they are. I am sure I could probably figure it out in time but I am afraid of messing things up so bad I have to start completely from scratch.

[poet1960]

Well I've got everything pretty much done but I am having problems with trying to 'source' things in. I have no idea where the original setup program put things when I first installed it. I tried using the mysql command prompt but that didn't work out too well. Tried Navicat but it doesn't have a 'source' option. I don't know EXACTLY how to source something using either mysql or navicat. I have a rough idea but no clear cut idea. I am guessing navicat is probably the easiest way to do it but have no clue which thing to use to do it.
