world.exe/boot5zone.bat closes...

[dead_dr00d]

i am using a local server setup
minilogin loads up and connects fine, but when i run world.exe it will close almost instantly, but running it in dos prompt results with:


Using database ' eq ' at localhost
[STATUS] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.3
[ERROR] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.3
Loading Variables, zone names & items...
LoadEMuShareMemDLL::Load<> failed error=120
Error: Could not load item data

I have sourced the addon db and i have even looked at all the items in my db through the admin tool, so i know i have items. i have the newest emusharemem.dll

db.ini:

[Database]

@echo off

if NOT exist spells_en.txt goto NOSPELL

exit
cls

:NOSPELL
echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.
PAUSE

i know the zones won't connect without world.exe, but when i run this the zones instantly close
if anyone knows what i am doing wrong, please let me know.. this has me boggled

I have the same problem. Instead of using the 127.0.0.1 im using localhost, but boot5 and world.exe still close instantly. I looked around and found drawde had the same problem and said it was related to the Emesharemem.dll; can someone post a working version of it or something?

If i loginto EQwindows, all you get is a blank sever screen. I havent tried any newer DB's or addon's yet, mayeb they can solve the problem when sourced in.
