Setting up pre5/11 Velious Beta1 + 6.1DR1 + Minilogin(windows)

[jrmayii]

Ok, finally got everything setup last evening and am able to login, create a character, even run around and kill stuff. The problem I'm having is not being able to mem or cast spells. The #cast command nor the #spellfind command do not work. AA's seem to not be working correctly either. Any ideas?

I have copied the spells_en and spells_us to the EQEMu folder. Both of these files are dated 3-22-2005.

Also, should we be able to create several characters on one account? I created a second character on the same account and he is not able to move around.

its #castspell #
and #findspell name
not #cast and #spellfind

[mrea]

#cast works also, Ayre

4a) Open command prompt, navigate to the extracted DBI directory, type in PPM
Code:

install DBI.ppd


4b) Exit ppm, navigate to extracted DBD Directory:
Code:

install DBD-mysql.ppd


4c) Exit ppm, navigate to extracted IO-Stringy Directory:
Code:

install IO-stringy.ppd

I'd try redoing 4a.

"its #castspell #
and #findspell name
not #cast and #spellfind"

thats not the issue. The issue is that no spells work....at all. No right clickies such as Jboots, etc. The #heal command doesn't work either. Not sure whats going on. I have set my character as GM using the world flag status 200 (or whatever the syntax was).

anyone figure out how to get haste items and haste spells to work?
the only way i can get haste while playing is #haste

ok, I have installed it and everything works, but I do not have a pre 5/11 patch. Is there a way I can still play on it? I have tried patching to live, then using WintersRoar patch and it goes to logon screen then I log onto my server and it gives me a 1017 error. Im gonna do a search for 1017 now see if I can get it to work.

[Aradorn]

nope gonna have to wait till next emu comes out

[Aradorn]

found out how to get procs and haste to work
here is the link

http://www.steelpsychos.com/index.php?link=eqemu.php

unzipp the update_zone.rar then only extract the zoneperl.exe into you c:\EQEmu folder replaceing the one u have it will allow haste items/spells to work along with procs from weaps and you should no longer have the pet construct error

I followed the guide and have everything running with out any problems.
minilogin appears to be working
world.exe no errors here.
boot5zones.bat all 5 come up after a min they sleep and appear to be working
I run eqgame patchme login and get my server,
I get char select and create a character.
click enter world it just sits there, eventually I get server not responding.
I check my eq version and that is the same that has been posted previously here as the one that works. last time I did a patch or anything was 4/12
not sure what direction to look in for this problem? I assume login is functioning properly because I get to char select. Any ideas out there?

ok I get the commands.pl errors but that won't cause my problems. here is what I see in one of my worldperl windows.

[Status] Starting EQ Network server.

Starting factory Writer
[Status] Entering sleep mode
Connected to worldserver: 127.0.0.1:9000
Map header: 36325 faces, 162 nodes, 46087 facelists

map ./maps/akanon.map loaded
Path File ./Maps/akanon.path not found
[Status] Weather should change in 4992 seconds

and so on. the only error I see is the path file.
not sure if that would cause my problems.

Thanks

If I wanted to make this so computers on my Lan can connect do I just change 127.0.0.1 to my ip address??

Okay i notice you made Ak'anon, i think i mentioned it in one of the first two posts... But you are most likely getting petstruct errors in your zoneperl.exe, alt tab out to the one which is hosting akanon and hit ignore... Its a bug, im not a dev or a fixer guy(i seen some people who claim fixes in this post!) but thats an issue that is resident in zones like akanon, sleepers, necropolis, and plenty more...

And as for the path file.. I dont think its needed... I dont have any of those files and it hasnt had any effect on anything i do, seems to work fine without them... Not sure what theyre for either, maybe fear pathing(idont think fear works anyway)

Greetings all !
I have gotten quite far into the tutorial now, and the guide is excellent! I've worked through most of the errors, I see my server now and when I click play everquest it loads everything as normal, but then I get a popup window on my desktop saying that starting zone "clz" or something like that couldn't be found, You're not running EQ from the correct directory if you have m ultiple directories, call verant if this prob continues.

Well I did have multiple directories of EQ, so I zipped my prepatch for back up, and then just reduced down to one directory, and I'm still getting the same error? Any insight to this problem would be much appreciated!

[EDIT] NM !! I figured it out .
