Problems I ran into and resolutions.
I intend to make this a list of errors I ran into that I am not able to find clear answers to other places on the forum.
No zoneserver available to boot up. This is because nothing is running the 'zone' binary. Try running the command: ./zone & If you run ./zone and it hits an error (like a mysql error) it simply dies. If you shove it into the back ground, it stays alive, and you'll stop getting the pesky error message after you've created your character. I'll be back later with anything else I can find. |
try changing "zone" to "zones" or look in your table "launcher" and see what's active for dynamic zones (use this)
|
Doh, I can't go back and edit my post. I'm finding that I just simply don't know how to start up a zone:
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...ka=LinuxServer This guy says run the command: ./zone EXTERNAL_IP_ADDRESS $1 77$2 192.168.0.100 & I assume EXTERNAL_IP_ADDRESS is supposed to be a real IP address? I also assume that 192.168.0.100 is supposed to be the IP address of my machien on the local network. If so, I'm running this command: ./zone 207.187.198.34 . 7790 192.168.1.3 & I generaly don't get any errors till I try to log in with a character I've created. My game client says "Zone is unavailable" and my logs say "No zoneserver available to boot up." I have tried replacing '.' with 'rivervale' since I'm creating a halfling. No luck. How do I use this 'zone' binary? I don't get it. Also, a select * from 'launcher' returns 0 rows. :( |
Do you have a startup script? here's a minilogin example;
./startup: Code:
#!/bin/sh ./stop; Code:
#!/bin/sh eqemu_config.xml; Code:
<?xml version="1.0"> |
Ya, I have start up scripts, but it just calls './eqlaunch peq' . I'm not sure how that's supposed to work.
start.sh Code:
#!/bin/sh Code:
#!/bin/sh The more I look at it the more it seems that I'm simply missing something in the database. My `launcher` and `launcher_zones` tables are both empty. Can you dump what you have in those tables on a working server for me? |
Get my database from Rathe Forums and use those, just dump and copy the tables over - it's all compatible.
I'm off to work now, be back in a while. |
I can't seem to get this working:
Code:
mysql> select * from launcher; I start the server with: ./eqlaunch zones I see it say rivervale is started, but I can't get passed it. Code:
[eqemu@gamer logs]$ grep rivervale * |
Here's my best recommendation for you
Go to MySql home page and download/install the MySQL Query Browser utility, this will give you a graphical view of you database (very helpful) In "launcher" just set one entry for now; name: zones dynamics: 5 Leave launcher_zones empty for now this should work - when it works, post here then I'll explain the rest |
Ok, did it. No change. I think I understand what's supposed to be in the database. You can start static zones that are always running, and you can start dynamic zones so you can travel around with out having to worry about having all zones loaded into memory.
So here's the logs. I'm not sure what's going on. The dynamic zones say they start and report they are running, but I can't load a single zone. Am I missing the files the server needs to load the zones? I have a 'Maps' directory populated with a file for each 'short_name' in the database. eqemu_debug_world.log shows character creation, and failing to 'boot' the zone. Code:

What database are you using , and what version?
|
$ mysql --version
mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386) using readline 5.0 5.0.45 it looks like. I think I caught it. It looks like zones are crashing, and when they get restarted, they wipe out their log files. I started the world, let it sit for about 10 minutes, and didn't try to do anything. When I logged into the server, and tried to zone in, I got the following: Code:
==> eqemu_debug_world.log <== |
I ment what database as in PEQ (and version or where you got it), AX_CLASSIC, EQ
|
peq-luclin-release
From http://projecteq.net/downloads.php I've also tried the peq-ykesha-beta1 database. both are behaving identically. |
Use the newest, I think is peq-ykesha-beta1 database then get the newest source, and read the logs posted there, there's still at least one update you have to make, I think;
Required SQL: Code:
alter table npc_faction add column ignore_primary_assist tinyint(3) not null default 0; |
Where did you find the updates? I don't see where you want me to go get new opcodes either...
I got further though. It doesn't pop the error right away, and it looks like my client is busy loading, but logs show: Code:
