ok just a question, someone said that now if you want to use custom spells u have to use the import spells.pl to have them take effect, but how do I use that pl? I have my spells_us and I see the .pl, but I don't have any clue what to do

Just double click the import file, it should work.

nah It didn't do anything. Do I need to move it somewhere or something?

Do I really just double click it in the source? Does anyone know how to use that thing?

If you are running Windows, double-clicking it should work as far as I know. But, in order for it to work, you have to move it to your server folder where your config file and spells file are located.

i did that. it's in a folder with my eqemu_config, zone/world.exe, and my spells_us.

Basically when I open it, it just goes to a blank black screen that says C:Perl/bin/perl.exe at the top then it quickly disappears without doing anything. I have a blank spells_new table in my DB already

Here is a post with more info on using the import/export scripts:

Basically that's the error I am getting when I try to run it. It looks like someone else had that problem but it didn't really give a solution, or maybe I just don't understand it if he did
