thank you, johane.  I hadn't set the db to eq... my oversight.  
Now if I can just figure out how to make combat work... I am able to target mobs and npcs, but i can't attack or con them. I put the maps.tar.gz in the eqemy/maps directory, but I don't know if I need to unzip it or something.  I've never seen a .gz file before.  Any help would be appreciated.  Also, whne I zoned into nektulos forest, I ended up in this unfamiliar place with a bunch of tree stumps and a river (with no way to zone out....)
Help please?
Thank you kindly!!!
