need help with items please.

[shamanistik]

Hi there, just decided to play eqemu again with some friends, so I try to make a server for the last 2 days.

Everything is finally good, but the problem at the moment.. is I can't update the 13th floor items.. I downloaded the xml, and even the txt file (items.txt)

And I try to upload it into the db with navicate lite, using the wizard. but I can't make it work ;(

so if anyone know how I can upload the item db.. please help.

Thanks in advance.

Just use the PEQ database to get your items. It isn't 100% current, but I think it is still recent enough to have nearly everything in it that 13th floor does.

[shamanistik]

what exactly you mean by PEQ database? in the db I have after compiling server, I have around 2000 items..

[joligario]

The PEQ database has 84588 items from 13th floor already loaded in.

[shamanistik]

aye I must apologize for your time lost, the navicate pages only show 1000 or 2000 at a time.. and the next button was hidden down right..

ok.. apparently I have no items in game. since the start, I couldn't find any item inside, vendors, loot, or by the #search #summon commands ;(

I can see some items thru item editor, but most of the last ones make the program crash.
I play with Underfoot.. maybe it's a clue??

no idea. I built a server straight from the windows setup guide updated in January and everything works fine for it with all 3 clients.

Make sure your revisions are all the same (db & eqemu code) or source in all of the latest updates to get everything current. I've ran into the missing items issues when I failed to get all the updates I needed.

Could you explain that more clearly please? sorry but am pretty new to all that stuff..

for now I deleted everything but the softwares needed, and I am starting over. from the guide (updated january)
and this time I remove the botrelease.. doing normal one, it's to play with friends anyway

item updates require a world server reboot.

I found this out last night =) there's a brief message when the World server starts that states it imported all items. Updates to the DB do not take effect until the World server reboots. Hope that helps others not spend an hour comparing "custom" and "exisiting" item entries to discover why the "new" item won't appear even when added to the player inventory
