Error with world.exe - important

[Need_Helo]

Hello... I used the eqemu long time ago, it worked perfectly etc... now I download the new version, download everything of the new version even mysql, I set up all perfectly.. but when trying to run world.exe I get a bunch of errors and one second after, the window closes.

I can't tell you which errors I get because I can't do fast enough to read it, it closes after a second

### --- This file tells world.exe what computer mySQL is on. Host should
### --- be left "localhost" unless mysql is on a differant computer than world.exe.


Loginserver

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

1) Open up a dos prompt (type command or cmd in the run box)

2) type cd\ then type cd c:\eqemu\ or wherever world.exe is located

3) type world.exe

4) it should not exit when it opens now it should stay in the same box and you can get the errors

5) post the errors here for others to read

This is what I am getting when I run world.exe had to use command to keep it up.

C:\EqEmu>world.exe
Using database 'eq' at 127.0.0.1
[Status] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.4-DR1
[Error] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.4-DR1
Loading Variables, zone names & items...
LoadEMuShareMemDLL::Load() failed error=120
Error: Could not load item data

[Dead-Soul]

do you have the EMuShareMem.dll file in the same directory as world.exe? if not go redownload that zip files and extract it there

[digitalscream]

I have the exact same screen with the same errors. However, I checked to ensure EMuShareMem.DLL was in the c:\eqemu directory (along with world.exe) and it was OK. This is a fresh installation and I have double checked it. Everything seems to have been done as suggested in the readme.txt. Is there anything I need to do in the DB itself? I was going to use mysql and play around in there but don't want to screw it up. I'm not used to the Windows mysql file structure and don't wanna screw it up. I am more familiar with Linux.

Thank for any help,

Luke

I am having the same error 120 with world.exe, I hope its something simple myself, and not a huge problem to fix :cry:

[Shadowstryder27]

I'm having the same problem. After 8 attempts I've finally gotten everything working, then I get to the world.exe and it says that. I don't know what it is.

[Keletones]

I am brand new to eqemu. I downloaded the files and followed the instructions. I am getting the same thing except the one line says,

LoadEMuShareMemDLL::Load<> failed error=5070248

[digitalscream]

Just for further clarification, the system I was attempting to install this server on was a P3-500 w/128mb ram and the OS was Windows 98 SE. I used the version of mySQL server (3.23 I believe) that was recommended in the readme text file. If there is a pattern with other's having the same problem it might be the OS.

I'm also getting the error =120 when I try to run the world.exe. Here's my configuration if it helps. I'm trying to run a lan server so I'm using localhost for IPs.

System is win98 se.

Here is the text when I run world.exe

c:\eqemu>world
using database 'eq' at localhost
[Status] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.3
[Error] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.3

Any clues on the error 120 or the error with the current world version? Thanks for the help.

Okay, I switched to the 44dr1 files and it works perfectly. You can find them in the world builder forum under Drawde's post.
