Finally I've got it working now bots and all on a Windows box. Am using the eqemulator.net login to connect. Didn't do anything different from previous compile time so my conclusion is that the compile-source available when the 922 db was the latest, was dodgy somehow leading to a bad world.exe &/or zone.exe.
Had some problems with rule_values and variables tables missing but train-smashed my 922 db with the 946 .sqls That is I updated Rev946-Bots.sql without first dropping player and bots tables. Got few errors of duplicate entries whereas was previously getting 'peq.rule_values' missing errors.
Not pretty - but functional
Working now with 946 build
