No stones in POK
 

This may be a stupid question but how do i get stones in the pok. I don't have any stones to teleport to the other planes and other zones around norrath. Is there anyway to get soulbinders etc in the pok? I also had some guards chaseing flippy darkpaw through quenos but they couldn't seem to hit him. They just trained behind him and did nothing? don't know if it was a one time bug or what. Anyways any help and support would be great. The biggest thing is the stones and portals in the POK. Thanks in advance

Are you using Release Candidate-1 for your Database? If so there may not be any POKstones or any spawns in POK. Now you have a few choices. First is..Use Server pack 2 with Cavedudes DB and you will have POKstones and spawns. But you may not like it if you want accuracy in the pre-luclin zones.(They are kinda messed).
Second..You can keep your present DB and source in the POKstones. There is a thread on the boards with the code for that.
Third..(my cheating way..hehe) You can keep your present DB and open the folder itself(copy of folder to be safe)delete the files called doors and replace with the doors files(3 files)with the Cavedudes doors files.(I havent personally done that one but I have done it with the DB you get when doing Sesmars 6.1DR2 tutorial. That one has POK stones too.) Still there will be no spawns in POK..You need to spawn yourself or use server pack-2.

Guards..This is a bug..But they are fixed now..But no one has compiled an exe for it. However Server pack-1 has guards working but you can only use Cavedudes DB with that.

where can i get cavedudes DB's? and how can i install them on my already working setup without .....too much pain lol. I mean leaving all my configs and everything they way they are. Can i just source in the DB's and use em? I'm pretty noobish started all this having played eq over a year ago and i'm 2 days and 2 sleepless nites into it. So thanks for the help

geez wish i had found cavedudes server pack 2 a lot sooner.....then again i can't feel bad about learning how to set up the server on my own...but dang much easier good job cavedude lol.

Dr. Zauis, you said theres code to source in the stones in a thread on the board. Anymore specification on where i could find that. I found cavedudes server file to be great but i like the rc1 i have...if i coudl just add in the stones i can add my own spawns. I just need to figure out how to add those stones.

"Third..(my cheating way..hehe) You can keep your present DB and open the folder itself(copy of folder to be safe)delete the files called doors and replace with the doors files(3 files)with the Cavedudes doors files.(I havent personally done that one but I have done it with the DB you get when doing Sesmars 6.1DR2 tutorial. That one has POK stones too.) "

how would i go about doing it this way...you said open the folder, which folder? sry i'm such a noob lol.

The DataBase folder..There are files in there that represent the tables..You can find the one you are using in mysql/data..You want to replace the 3 doors files with Cavedudes doors files.(Or Sesmars)

Here is the thread..I dont know if it will work for 6.2 but sourcing is harder than my way..http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/sho...ghlight=stones

Execellent, I did your little trick just copying over the three files and it worked like a charm. Now there are stones in the pok Thank you SOOOO very much.
