Yea, it was a pain in the rear to get my server even functional. The guides are out dated and even some of the links to the programs needed don't work or you get redirected to newer releases like Visual Studio. Getting a server running took me a couple days of Googling and forum serching. I am not even sure what I did to get mine to work is the proper or must updated because I still find missing tables in my database I need to manually enter to make things work that I found broken like BOTS. If you are interested PM me I will tell you what I did to make a server work useing
peqbeta_2013-xx-xx-xx.xx.tar.gz
and various sql files from the now outdated
http://projecteqdb.googlecode.com/sv...k/peqdatabase/
and
a couple from the
C:\EQ\source\utils\sql\git\required Folder
