It is always good to post what you did to fix it. Multiple people spent time to assist you to get it resolved, so it is worthwhile to spent a little time to post what you did to fix it. The main reason for this is for future users that have the same issue, so they might know what they are missing or need to do.

Based on your SQL logs in the previous post showing you are missing the character_corpse_items table, I have to assume the issue was that you were not running the latest source code. Maybe you had just updated your database, but not the actual source code. I am guessing this because the character_corpse_items table is automatically created in more recent code updates as part of the removal of the corpse blob from the older tables. Since you were missing that table, it means your source was older than the corpse blob conversion, which means it was older than the RoF2 client compatibility.

I went to sept as directed in guide. Problem I am having I cannot get some tables that are needed in the September DB. Player_corpse turns into Character_corpse and missing character_corpse_items etc. I recompiled to get the rof2 client and well no good has come of it unfortunately. Wish I knew what the guy did to fix his missing table. The sql updates in the C:\EQ\Source\utils\sql\git\required had all updates I need except these. rof2 patches etc all were there. Any ideas?

I think there have been issues with the PEQ DB backups for a while, but I am not sure of their current state. Depending on how your server is setup, it would probably be easiest to roll back to an older PEQ db and finish the install on that then update your source code and let the automatic SQL script and de-blob conversions do the rest of the work for you to get current.

Ty friend, u are absolutely right and is what I did, the handy updating script finished it up for me I really enjoyed that. Only thing now is to trying to connect to public login like my UF did. Rof2 keeps letting me in with my server not showing. I'll get it sometime I guess and thx for the info.
