first thing is yes u need to calm down. i to have zones crashing with the new eqeum and db
now i have down alot of tinkering
first the setup that i have posted is a very simple setup with the would and server with mysql running on one machine and the eq game on another pc . this is recommended by all.
no the lan set up is very ezy. i use win me as the operating system on both machines useing the windows networking as the interface.
as long as u have your lan set up and working , meaning that u can share files back and forth or share and internet connection.
u must have that before evening trying the the lan setup. or IT WILL NOT WORK.
no im sorry if the guide might be confuseing but its truly simple. u must take your time and read into the guide.. like i said i set this up this way to save resources on both machines since EverQuest uses alot of the machine.
now i can set the server up and run just fine but u must have the right set up.
i have done a lot of research and the best i can come up with is as follows.
completel start over from scratch. if u have any thing lurking when doing this it either will confuse u or mess up the settup. Now i use eqemu 4.1 win32. for i cant seem to find one out there that works. also STOP PATCHING EQ. that makes everything not work and then u get pissed off at the guys fixing eqemu.
MAKE 2 COPIES OF EVERQUEST!!! ALSO READ THE DANG FORUMS IT TELLS U TO DO THIS.
now once u have the 2 copies, one is for eqlive and one for eqemu.
now understand i have not patched my eqemu eq since maybe right before the release of new expansion.
i also do not use EQW , i use eqame patchme veia going threw the command dos window. this is so u dont try to patch eq.
no on to setting up the server. once u have downloaded the 4.1win32 (u will find in the file section)
and the mysql 3.23/54 win (server) which is for what ever windows operating system u are running. now undestand i am useing ME.
and at last i use the new db from telmet. since i cant seem to find one that works other than his.
that file is. eqemu 0.4.3.dr2.db
Now with this set up u will not have all the new items in eqlive , nor will u see horses. i too have zones crash useing the new setup
now with that eqemu file and telmet db is the only way i can run my server with out any errors.
