Trying to get this set for single player i fly out in two more days and wont have access to the net for months so really could us some help on this please please , dont know as much about PC as i should i guess :(

Hmm
 

Well I'm definately not the most intelligent but I feel for you situation. It sounds to me like it's not a matter of reloading things, It just looks like you don't have table in your EQ database. When you do all the mysql stuff do you get any errors ? ALSO you might want to look at the NAMe of your server, I think it has to be like 12 chars or over to work and if you have less than that or like 10 your server will be active but it won't show in the login screen, at least.. I had this problem earlier today, same symptoms as you. Ex. my server name was "Futility" but that wouldn't show up in the server listing ! BUT "FutilityIncarnate" did ? weird but I seem to recall something like that from earlier versions, maybe it will help..

I tried :\

Thank you
 

ok sounds good , ill take a look at that right now.
thank you



I must say my Forum experiences have always been horrid, 6 years of everquest LOL. looks like all the cool people that play EQ , quit regular game and came here thanks again guys

As an FYI this would not work for me. It simply crashed my Zoneperl everytime i tried to login. So if it works for you congrats... No dice for me...

As for
It sounds like your database simply wasnt loaded fully... You might have messed up the first one and tried to recreate the second one over the top of it without deleting...

Perhaps try deleting everything from your EQ database and just try redoing the database part... Or maybe try again with a different database name...

Great guide, I've followed it step by step. I'm almost there, but here is the problem: when I attempt to log in, it says I have 0/8 expansions enabled. Please help...
-------------------------
Figured out, the problem is actually no server shows up, similar to what Lagartijoo posted earlier. I'm using minilogin on the same PC, and when I try to connect, minilogin does show new client from 127.0.0.1, but I can't proceed because of no expansions enabled. Any ideas?

Will this guide allow me to host my own server so that I can play without being on the internet, and my brother or friends could connect to me via lan, and also play the game?

If not, is there any way I can go about doing that?

Excellent tutorial!
 

Great work iwantavr4! Using your guide I was able to get the new version (I've been away for awhile) set up without a hitch. Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing all of this with us here.

BTW, someone earlier in this thread posted a problem where their character was stuck in an endless zoning loop. Even though someone else helped them out, I thought I'd mention that you can use the in-game #movechar [character name] [zone short name] command with a different character to move another you're not logged in with. I keep a separate "GM" character camped out in a safe zone specifically for this purpose. ;)

ok, maybe a stupid question, but when you guys sourced the files through sql did it take a really really long time to do the first one? I swear I've been getting "query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)" scrolling for the past hour.

never mind--it finally finished after about 1 1/2 hours.

Newb :(
 

Im embarrassed to say but I on step 4 when you go to command prompt and you say navigate to the extracted DBI file I cant figure out how to navigate there.

cd (locatation)
So for instance i unzipped mine to c:\temp\dbi and c;\temp\scalar

i would type:

When i try t odo the Source Items stuff... i an error stating: ERROR 1146: Table 'eq101.items'(i remade database) dosent exist... it isnt evein in the test or regualr eq database.

I just started this a few days ago and i have everything u linked to download... Hopefully u can help. Sorry for the uber noobnes...

You probably missed out on sourcing something else first. One of the source files creates some tables that the others are used. I'd drop all my db's and go back and source them in the exact order the tut says

alright, i'll try that. Will post back if it works.


EDIT:I just dropped all my databases... i tried to source again and got to the items one and got a error in the cmd. My Cmd was spamming somethin about not have the table eq.items and wouldnt stop beeping untill i closed cmd. thats the only one that does this. Any way someone can link me a database with the items in it or anything? :-?

You think this could have anything to do with them Mysql download? when i clicked on it, it was a dead link so i went to the other tutorial and got it... dont think its 4.0.23...

EDIT2:Hmm i figured out wht i needed to do to get items.. I still get a couple beeps tho on Source for Zone and a coupel for items... that normal or do i need to redo something.

EDIT3: Well i got everything up and running. Only thing is... I cant log in. Maybe its because i patched -.- i jsut started 4 days ago.. Any help as to this?

you wont be able to play if you patched

and there are a few errors in a couple up the database sources (cant remember exactly which ones) but they still finish.

iwantavr4 were you ever able to get a copy of suedeworthey's world.exe and emusharmem.dll i think those are the 2 files we are gonna need also to get the haste/pet to work
