Boot5zones.bat CRASH

[Lindgren]

This is touched upon by many threads, but I wanted to post my exact screen to see what I'm doing wrong.

And yes, I get 1017's when trying to connect to my own server (NOT MINILOGIN - EqEmu server select). It lists it, but doesn't let me connect.

The pain! THE HORRIBLE PAIN! If it weren't for the fact that I enjoy this very much, I'd stop trying.

[Varlos]

I feel your horrible pain as well. I'm having the same problem except for I'm not getting errors on the door loading.

I just get the same error on LoadTributes and at the bottom it gives me the same "Error intializing PerlEmbed" errors at the bottom.

And before anyone says I don't have IO::Scalar installed, I do have it installed and when I open a command prompt and check for it(forget the command to check for it but I've done it many times) it says "Installed". That doesn't seem to be the problem....I really can't figure out what it is and would appreciate any help as well.

[wize_one]

the answer is in the error statement

ALTER TABLE `doors` CHANGE `liftheight` `door_param` INT(4) DEFAULT "0" NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE `doors` ADD `size` SMALLINT(5) UNSIGNED DEFAULT "100" NOT NULL;

[wize_one]

[Error] Error in LoadTributes first query 'SELECT id,name,descr FROM tributes':
#1146: Table 'eq.tributes' doesn't exist

there is a link to that on the main eqemu page or the data is in the change log file(dont recall where for 100%)

also your getting perl errors because you havent installed the IO:scaler

[Lindgren]

IO:Scalar is installed. Lemme work with the other stuff. I'll post my progress. (thanks, btw)

Hi,
My world.exe is runnig ok, but zone.exe is giving error no matter what I do.

This is output from one of my zone.exe windwos:

Then it stops. Has anyone any ideas what to do that Symbol.pm? I have try'd copy it different locations but nothing seems to work. Please help...

Well, I don't know what is causing your problem, but your perl @INC setting just seems to be set to '.', i.e. the current directory you are in. If you launch a command prompt and type:

perl -V

This will confirm what it is set to. Mine says this:

C:\>perl -V
Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 0) 

<SNIP>

  Compiled at Mar 31 2003 00:45:44
  @INC:
    C:/Perl/lib
    C:/Perl/site/lib
    .

C:\>

If your @INC is really just set to '.' and not C:/Perl/lib;C:/perl/site/lib, you could maybe try uninstalling/re-installing Perl.

[Haverlock]

Thanks for quick answer. When I write 'perl -V' I get this:

Compiled at Dec 9 2003 10:19:40
@INC:
C:/Perl/lib
C:/Perl/site/lib
.

Huh. Weird problem...

[Haverlock]

Well, I managed to make zone.exe work and wanted to tell others what went wrong in my case.

I's copied in some point perl58.dll file to \System folder! It's correct place is in C:\Perl\bin folder. I find out in support archives that this file can be only one place and exactly in C:\Perl\bin.

Thanks to all for help and happy gaming... [/code]
