Also, this type of eqemu_config.xml works good for local (same puter as client)

I have two further questions:

1- When opening t_start_with_login_server, I get the following.

http://i.imgur.com/5FIPnG8.png

Is this meant to happen or am I doing something wrong?

2 - The second has to do with not being able to create or login with any name or password I input in the launcher (I'm trying to set this up in a local LAN). How do I get past that?

I think records of tblWorldServerRegistration table in your database are not consistent with your eqemu_config.xml.
But it shouldn't affect playing. You can still login and play, can't you?

I have tried using the account name and password I have created here, but it tells me it doesn't exist in the database; which leads me to ask how I get past that.

Problems after install

Hello,

I am curious if anyone else has noticed this problem after using this installer.

If I try to use any warrior discs like Defensive etc, I get an error that I am too distracted to use a skill. After receiving that error I can no longer click anything or attack anything as it just says I am too distracted. I have been running for almost a year and it is a recent development without any changes to the server.

Using Windows 2012 R2 as server
Using SOD Client.

Just as an update, I did a completely fresh install with the newest package on a new VM and it is doing the same thing. Warrior discs don't seem to work.

My next thing for you to try would be exporting client data from the server so that your spells line up with what the server has in its database.

These errors your getting could be client sided

Copy the files generated in export into your client directory and get back to me

Code:

C:\EQEmu\servers\peq_server>mkdir export



C:\EQEmu\servers\peq_server>export_client_files.exe

Next thing is - updating your client - SoD is way too old, I would recommend getting RoF2

Older clients are hard-coded to only read up to so many Spell ID's - they're also not going to understand how to handle newer spell data

*sigh* it actually doesn't work on PEQ with my client. I just tested. Has anything changed in the past year that would cause it to no longer work with the SOD client?

The reason I haven't upgraded is because all of my macros are made for SOD and it would take a lot of work to change them. I box 40+ characters.

Hmm - let me think of some other things, I am fighting some fires at work atm so it will have to be a bit.

Also - the installer uses the same DB as PEQ, so something else has to be going on

Stumped by what - there's not a whole lot of information here

Shoot me some more information and I can try to help
