thanx aramid your a godsend... since my last post I made all the changes in the log that is included with 840 from the point where it says CHANGED VERSION to 0.7.0, but when I booted up the server and the game (even created a new character) it still wouldnt send me to the zone (the new char wanted to go to queylos or somesuch) kept saying zone not available (and at the time I was running 10 dynamic zones)

hopefully this other guy's DB will fix the problem

in anycase, thanks for you help... in my time in dealing with this server thing I have only met a couple people who REALLY tried to help... up until recently it was only one person (cavedude rocks) it just seems whenever I had what seemed to ME to be a serious question (especially since I dont know the forum lingo or the intricricies of your programming to know EXACTLY the term of that to search for) I would get slammed by people like Mattmeck and as I said before I run sites, I have a new one now that is still in development, but I ran Withoutsin.com and Lustmybody.com as well as many others each with very powerful forums and I demoted my mods if they spoke to my users the way mattmeck does, regardless of intentions.

abaddon, from your very first post you have been full of yourself, I checked your post history and you were never once bashed by me in any way. To be exact you were the one bashing people.

SO how about you stop now or get a nice IP ban from the entire community kkthx~

point taken on the backpatch... as I said I didnt realize that there was a term for it... I got the patch from who knows where like last year and was using it as a matter of course (I have so much crap for this server program now I really have lost track of what was legal and what wasnt... ) so my mistake on that route.

my point on the aggressive commenting was that anger breeds like wildfire, you make a vicious comment, they make one, another person chimes in and it goes downhill from there.

oh.. the wikki isnt hard to find... its broken

Update
 

I am using Cavedude's server installer and then upgraded to the latest binary (845). Now, when I load up I get to character creation but when I try to go into the zone it says NO ZONE AVAILABLE and no matter how many times I retry it is the same response.

now here is the real oddity:

my neighbor has the EXACT SAME INSTALL ( I did the entire thing) but when he gets to character creation he clicks to go into world it denies him like min, but then when he clicks again, it goes there.... WTF? got any ideas? ok you might want to know the system info:

my system is :

P-III Celeron 1.4ghz
512Mb 133mhz Dimm
onboard itel 82810e 32mb vid
OS- Windows 2003 SP1 (all firewalls off)
also tried it on Windows XP SP2

his system is:

p-II Celeron 400mhz
256mb pc100mhz Dimm
ATI Radeon 7000 (pci)
OS- Windows 2003 (no service pack)

got any ideas?


I might also mention that even though he CAN go to the new zone, when he tries to cross to a new zone from there it crashes.

You put in ALL of the SQL updates in the database that were in the change log?

This happened to me and I found out that I missed just ONE of the updates...

Did you try using Angelox's database?
