I need some help setting up my eq server from 2012
 

Its not fully starting its giving item errors and such. Here is the only output file I got

Also ive applied all the SQL updates to the best of my ability, i dont really see any errors that couild lead me to figure out why this isnt working

something about cannot load item files in common shared memory i cant figure out what else it says because its not on any logs, I followed the guide but used my server instead of peqS because I have a ton of custom work done.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Im using the latest complied source compiled it on my own with no errors, followed the guy 90% except I source my old database in instead of PEQs then i did all the sql updates to it.


Please help

Did you:

1) Create a folder called "shared" in the main server folder, and

2) Run shared_memory.exe

yeah its part of my bat file


its a shared memory file .cpp file thats coming up in the window

also only 11 things are getting built 1 is skipping during the source build process\

zone also keeps crashing and popping back up with no information.

all the other windows are empty too

Yeah you're right, shared_memory itself having an access violation. Should have looked closer at that error dump first ;p

Looking through the source a bit... but definitely not my area of expertise.

when i run zone on its own


it also says unable to read perl file plugin.pl subroutine cwd::fastcwd redefomed at C:/Perl/lib/cd.pm 812
it also says unable to read perl file plugin.pl subroutine cwd::getcwd redefomed at C:/Perl/lib/cd.pm 812
it also says unable to read perl file plugin.pl subroutine cwd::abs_path redefomed at C:/Perl/lib/cd.pm 812

tried it with the standard install of peq also and all the updates

Holy shit, you're still alive?

did you install the 32 bit version of Perl and then reboot afterwards?

Are you running shared_memory with write access to "C:\Everquest Emulator\EQEmuServer"?

It's worth running them all as admin- and also don't forget to open the firewall ports if you want to connect remotely.

the server windows like world and zone dont display anything the are just black

how do you run sharedmem with access to that and yes i rebooted after perl

I gave it write access, same errors, same all windows with no data, world shows items error with shared memory and it points to one of the Cpp files not sure which becaus it disappears too quick and then world re opens blank.

yes the shared memory has write access. I didnt get errors during the compile but 1 thing was skipped and i dont know what it only finished with 11 sucessful 1 skipped

I guess ill try to do it all over again...

utils/sql/git/required/2014_01_08_SpellsNewAdditions.sql

That wasn't run? If your source is the stuff on git, it's failing on that?

ok i redid everything an im stuck on using cmake im following the directions but get this error.




Got past that but im still having problems where its sayin about shared memory and line 130 in some sharememory cpp


ill post the picture of the one then the other

If anyone could help id really like to get back in to everquest emu

yeah check more, all the world windows and zone windows come up blank and just keep closing and reopening over and over again and i followed the guide exactly, i never had problems like there where there are no errors in the logs

k looked up the Cpp file and this is the line that it says is crashing on first on the first one, then on the second one and as im not a c++ dev i have no idea whats wrong can anyone help?

if(file == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
EQ_EXCEPT("Shared Memory", "Could not open a file for this shared memory segment.");
}

if(file == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
EQ_EXCEPT("Shared Memory", "Could not open a file for this shared memory segment.");
}



unless someone could send me working executables id really appreciate it

Try capitalizing the 's' in the 'shared' directory name.

no change i tried it

Windows isn't case sensitive.

How are you running shared_memory? I suspect that however you're doing it, the working directory is not being set to the proper place so it is looking for the shared directory in the wrong place.

Open a command prompt, cd to where shared_memory.exe is, make sure the shared directory exists, and run it from that command prompt and see what happens.

It goes

Shared Memory Loader Program
Connecting to database
Using Databse 'peq' at 127.0.0.1:3306
Loading Items
Loading Factions
Loading Loot
Loading skill caps
Loading Spells
Loading Base data then it just stupids and bring me back to the comment prompt

That's the expected behavior. What's in the shared folder?

+1

Also, try removing the space in your path by renaming that folder:- "C:/Everquest Emulator" should be "C:/EverquestEmulator". A lot of programs- particularly ones that work on both Windows and Linux (like EQ Emu) will barf when you have spaces in the file path.

In the Wiki page it specifically sets out a folder structure that will be most compatible with the server and CMAKE (btw if you change the location of your source by renaming that folder you will need to run cmake again).

Shared has faction, basedata items lootdrop loot table skill caps and spells, they are all spelled rigth wITh the -S its just abad time i had a bad night and crap ill try redoing that again

My zone build keeps failing I dont know why. I copied everyone according to the guide also here is the output when I build zone solo

What is line 788 in map.cpp in your source code?

Is it?
Looks like it may be a bug in Visual Studio 2010: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3...e-tuple-in-c0x

You should use 2013 Express, it's free and it'll work.

well I wont be putting my server up for atleast a month or so until I get more ram and an SSD drive, but it will probably be back late summer with a lot more content
