dropping server and redoing it fixed the database prob
in world.exe it does this
[status] loading ./addon.ini'
couldn't open './addon.ini'.
[status] loading EQ time of day..
Failed to open log file: logs/emu_error_world_3044.log
[error] could not load EQTime file ./eqtime.cfg
[error] Unable to load ./egtime.cfg
and in all boot5zones it does this
[quest] loading perl commands...
[quest] Warning - commands.pl: perl runtime error: open 'commands.pl' No such file or directory at (eval 4) line 1.

other then that everything else loads fine

Okay, i was wondering if some files would be missing. Now that you mention it, there are a few other files.

The commands.pl is a file i havent been able to find and the folks at PEQ said its not neccisary. So no worries on that one. Ill update the guide in a couple hours, but for now, CHOW! :)

Edit: Cant get those extra files. For some reason i cant upload anything here. Probably has to do with the firewall. See post below, updated main guide also to reflect changes.

the file says the archive is either in unknown format or damaged

Okay i changed step 5 of the guide, it now has a link to the eqemu compile perl version from the eqemulator sourceforge site. Download that file, extract all the files within to your C:\eqemu\ then overwrite world.exe, perlzone.exe and emusharemem with the updated files from the other 6.1perl zip file.

Oh, also! I feel i should mention i tried this on my laptop, which is running windows XP with service pack 2. You need to make sure your XP Firewall is set to prompt you when you have programs trying to run servers, open ports, or connect to stuff... Otherwise this wont work. I think i had to set 3 or 4 different programs when they popped up to 'unblock'. If you are running winXP this may be why some of you arent seeing your servers. Because XP Firewall is blocking the server programs from broadcasting or recieving information!

At this step

16) Then source the following databases into the database by typing the following commands(In this order)
Code:

Source load_system.sql; Source load_empty_users.sql; Source items-0.6.0-DR2-0.6.1-DR1-convert.sql; Source 0.6.1-upgrade.sql; Source ZONECFG.SQL; Source altadv_vars-contents.sql;

i am getting this error

mysql> source load_system.sql;
ERROR:
Failed to open file 'load_system.sql', error: 2
mysql>

I'm sure that i'm doing something totally noobish, and that this error is easily fixed. If anyone could help me i'd really appreciate it 8) thanks.

did you make sure all those files are in c:\mysql\bin folder. make sure there are no folders inside the bin

iwantavr4 do you have EQVercheck if you do can u post your version i want to make sure mine matches i didnt patch on 5/11 but i did patch up to 5/11 and i want to make sure my version matchs befor i continue

I think that's the problem, those first two files don't exist.

Source load_system.sql;
Source load_empty_users.sql;

I didn't see anywhere in the tut where it says to download them.

those files are in the peq-velious-beta1.zip

sql files not missing
 

Velious beta Database from PEQ
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/p...ious-beta1.zip

then extract them in step:

8) Extract the following database files to C:\Mysql\bin
8a) peq-velious-beta1.zip

:)

Used this tutorial and everthing works execpt the merchants :)
i did get 2 beeps on the Source load_system.sql but it scrolled by so fast i wasnt able to find out what caused the beeping...

[edit] Aradorn types faster than me

Thanks 8). I noticed when i extraced the velious db that there was a directory in the zip file, and the tut didn't mention anything about not leaving it there so i just extracted the directory. I really appreciate the help.

this is my eq version pre 5/11 just wondering if this is the right one to work with the 6.1dr1
SHORT VERSION: SEQ8A667
LONG VERSION: EQ10F6C5D8579C384AAACC9FA61E2727A6B8291587

same here
 

thats the same eq version i have that works with this tutorial

ok i guess im gonna have to redo the tutorial ... one thing i found wierd tho when i installed winmysqladmin it didnt ask me to put in a username\pass but when i go to my.ini setup it has the username\pass in there...


i did have this program before i did the tutorial, but i went to control panel and add\remove software and installed the winmysql i downloaded.


anyways i use the user/pass off of winmysql when i do the sourceing i hope this is correct also
