Trying to run a server without perl and all settings
hopefully as they should be...

but take a look on the screenie... I get some probs...
but dont know how to fix it :cry:

please let me know if you recognize this problem!!!
if I try to start the zones they just timeout after like 1 minute or so...
just quitting... I cant see any failure messages...

the screen looks like this WITH the error when I try to start the zones...

I tried to run with a new database...
and adding "MW_057DR2_alpha_1.sql" only...
then World.exe starts ok... but the zone exes crash still...

I managed to pause one of the zones before it quit...
I guess there is more info, but I cant reach it =/

Check this picture;

you know what could be wrong???

Also I'm running "World 0.5.6"

ok first, running 5.6 is gonna give you more of a head-ache then you want. get 5.7 dr 6. go to scorpius 2k's webpage and get the patch to fix it. patch your eq.. and get the newest databases.

that or learn c++ and fix the share mem dll file that is causing the zone problem.

if you want to do the upgrade, which i'd recommend.. cool beans bob. if not, good luck, i'll help out where i can but its gonna be a serious pain in your butt pretty soon.

have some bugs to tell the devs tho... :(

* Kicked out of game to login screen when killed
* Stuck/Freeze on rebirth... after I get killed and spawn in hometown...

This happens to accounts that are flagged with GM status. If the account's userlevel is (I believe) under 50 (but 0 would be certain), this shouldn't happen.

ok... but that is a bug right?? :p

It's not a bug, and it's a known issue, b/c I read about it in another post over a month ago. GM toons aren't supposed to /camp and die.

In EQLive, GMs use a different client the one used by players and guides.

I would certainly think that if you alter the source code you could prevent this from happening. Go for it.

Then write a personal login server. And when you have it finished, let me know.

You dont really have to know how to program to change the max npctypes...

if you have a compiler (I use linux) go to EMuShareMem and edit NPCTypes.h

Code:

#define MMF_MAX_NPCTYPE_ID              400000

Update that line(raise the number) recompile and its set. I am by no means a programmer however modifications like that are simple.
