Started following the tutorial and got stuck on step number 2 does he want me to extract the files from EQEMU 6.2 Original binaries or EQEmu 6.2-DR1-Perl if anyone could help it would be great

tallerin · #**183** 09-29-2005, 11:51 AM

you extract which ever one YOU what to use. if YOU want perl you extract the perl not the non perl. If YOU want non perl you download and extract the non perl version. Its not that confuseing really the guide is esentially now two guides into one as the perl version and non perl are simular in installation except for the installation of perl ect for the perl version.

Belfedia · #**187** 09-30-2005, 12:57 AM

You have a fresh tutorial, in the link on my post for 0.6.2 eqemu guide made by tallerin

I think you don't work on a 0.6.1 dr1 server ? i see 0.6.2 in your post ?
this tutorial work with 0.6.1 the tutorial for 0.6.2 is in the wiki

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Windows6

I understand you are confuse; i'm here for some time and i'm lost for many things

but this entire tutorial section is obsolete (but you can find usefull information inside) and need to be CLOSE (plz one admin make it just read only that was fine).

For question about guide, you just need to post it in the correct support forum , support windows servers (you use windows) support linux servers (you use linux) or support general support if question is right on windows and linux

Crow102 · #**188** 09-30-2005, 12:07 PM

ok, i have followed the directions word for word the best i could and read a little. i get the same exact error dragnir got before (think that was his name).

I get an error 2 when sourcing the various bin files, i copy and pasted the original sqls that were in the directory and copy and pasted the names & information for each so they would automatically be sqls. I sourced the first 2 fine, then starting with items-0.6.0-DR2-0.6.1-DR2-convert.sql "or something" and the rest to follow i got errors. The files are all in the bin folder and are NOT in other folders, i checked that after reading his post. I know im running the EQ current patch but i am not sure if that would affect anything up to this point. I dont know how to like.. downgrade to a different version and i wanted to get this done first. Im sure i can read somewhere to figure out what to do as far as patching, but if i need to do that first... well, i dont know what i need to do at this point, just following directions.

Thanks in advance

Belfedia · #**192** 10-16-2005, 08:47 AM

Sorry to be not polite :( this is just same question on many many many post with same answer... i'm little tired to repeat hehe

BUT READ THREAD BEFORE POST
Many message speak about EQEMU limitation, version, etc...
If a message DO NOT PACH ON 9/13 OR LATER is on red on the top of forum this is not for decorate

If you read some post just before your on this thread you have some answer also !

Plz read !!!

Viper2904 · #**193** 10-17-2005, 12:15 AM

Ok, sorry, i just thought that i could work on this before i figured out how to fix my version. Didnt realize that it had anything to do with the Everquest directory.

I cannot find any information on how to patch to pre 9/13. I installed:
Everquest - original
Luclin
Kunark
Velious
Planes of Power
Then I ran the patcher

I seen a post earlier about wiki but still kinda oblivious to what that is, seems like another tutorial and/or user documentation webpage.

I see that it says not to patch after 9/13 but i kinda missed on how to do that, if i only have the original everquest - luclin - kunark - velious - planes of power version do i just use the version checker and match that to the Eqemu versions? I am sorta lost here and i dont know a whole lot about what i am doing. I just want to be able to run the quests and enjoy the lore through the velious expansion, i dont care for pop+. I am guessing i have to setup like a host for my wife to also be on at the same time, but still i am a noob...

Thanks in advance

Belfedia · #**194** 10-17-2005, 01:55 AM

To be a newb on eqemu is'nt a problem

when i start here i'm very newb...
But ! if say DO NOT PATCH on 9/13 or later that because they are no LEGAL solution, player have this patch are happy, other can't play. And i'm sure you have read the forum rules about the CENSURED, you can find some solution easy, but speak about it, link it EVEN IN PM is forbidden here and Against forum's rules.

Sakrateri · #**195** 10-17-2005, 08:02 AM

Heres how IT works :

1: You buy the game and install
2: You connect to EverQuest and a patcher starts
3: When patcher is finished you hit PLAY and it takes you into the game

The previous is the way to play EQ Live . Otherwise know as the OFFICIAL EverQuest. The following is the way to play EQEMU:

1: The Devs say "we are compatible with live"
2: Everyone patches to live
3: Everyone changes their eqhost.txt to correspond to the proper EQEMU login
4: Everyone clicks on the eqgame.exe that they sent to desktop with the patchme fix on the end of it
5:Then hopefully everyone has fun

And then Everquest live has another patch ! Ooops did we all remember to make a backup of the version of EverQuest we were playing EQEMU with before we hit the shortcut to EverQuest and it started patching to live??
Well if you did not and you happened to patch to live then guess what? Well you CANT play EQEMU until the Devs once again say that it is compatible with live.

You can do a fresh install all day long with whatever discs you have laying around ....EQ Platinum , Kunark , Half-Life2, Doom 3,......Whatever you wish but it will still NOT allow you to play on the EQEMU servers ....But why you ask ? Well because in those patches you did miss out on between whatever discs you did install and the date they say do NOT patch after there were some important files that you need installed from EQLive that you can NO LONGER get. It does not matter if you do a version check on your Everquest you have installed , I can tell you that if its a fresh install it will NOT work.

I hope this clears some of the confusion you are having with this or at least answers a question or two , It all is rather confusing especially for those that have not been around it , This is in no way meant to be a rant nor a flame just hopefully a simplified answer to a question asked very often.
