You have no config file. The eqemu_config.xml.full is supposed to be copied to eqemu_config.xml and edited to suit your needs.

I made that change, finally made progress, then got this ...

By the way I just went to the link I posted for the download of ZLIB.
I downloaded the zip file it points to and extracted it (TODAY) and it does
contain all the files you need. (INCLUDING the ZLIB1.dll that needs to be
copied over to the windows system folder) (ZLIB1.dll - NOT ZLIB.dll)
THIS FILE -ZLIB1.dll is right in the main extract of the zip file when you
download it. (You can see it when you open up the zip file before you even
extract it all) (I use WinRAR)
Once you extract the zlib folder to your c-drive, and copy that zlib1.dll
you don't need to do anything else with it.
When you are adding the folders to your 2008 express, keep in mind, you
are looking for FOLDER NAMES, not file names.

The issue is with the library name, not the DLL, and it has in fact been renamed for whatever reason. I've used that link many times before as well, and it was always named properly when I've downloaded it, but it has been a few months since I've done so.

Annoying, but easily fixable if necessary. Some people might not even notice the rename since MySQL also includes the library and if that directory is searched first it would choose that file to link against and not even look in the zlib directory.

Anyone know exactly what is what at this point, ive read whole guide word for word, it should "be working now" im thinking ive missed a few lil key things and hoping that message could give you guys hints on whats going on.

The most up to date compile guide can always be found in the Wiki:
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=VS2008

I don't have ZLIB1.DLL in my 'windows/system32' directory and it compiles properly. I only have that file in the c:\zlib directory where it belongs.....for what it's worth.

i find the wiki hard to use, but maybe that's just me.
Maybe the landing page for the wiki needs redone somehow to help drive things better, I dunno.

Still getting same error as posted above ; and still seeking an answer for what im supposed to do with the 7000-7100 (following bamzal's advice i made multiple files with the ports etc using from:5998 to: 5999 and making the other shit standard, along with making it 9000 to 9000 when making another TCP, UPD or w/e is different im told but what exactly then, this mean i need 7000-7100 for UPD ?

I agree the server setup guide in the Wiki is lacking (this thread is much better for that). However I always keep the compile guide up to date on the Wiki.

THANKS YOU FOR THIS GUIDE!!!!!!!

For the longest time I havent been able to get his thing working.. Well i got it working now.. Thanks. That's all I have to say!

K So when I ran the build 3 succeeded 2 failed. All the errors are Perl related, When I looked my Perl is 64 bit assuming this is the problem and going to reinstall. Will post results after

2 succeeded, 3 up to date!

any idea why when I try to have MySql do the execute part it freezes up and wont continue. I think its getting stuck in the Processing config part. The very beginning.

11. Ok, Now you need to download the Maps and quests.

In your server folder, right click on the quests folder and choose "SVN Checkout"
In the "URL of repository" line copy and paste the following:
http://projecteqquests.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/quests (Then click on OK)



So how can i do a CVN CHECKOUT if the quest folder is ALREADY been CVN checkout'd out?!?! So frustrating, it doesn't give the option because its already got a URL, you know the folders already got a green check mark, How do i work around this? MERGE?

Please help me... i just slamed into a wall with this, there is NO option in turtle CVN or w/e to CVN checkout something thats already allocated to another URL..... So what option did you actually Mean for your pupils to use?
