Empty Vendors, Empty Loot, No Quests

[suprphrk]

I just set up a 0.7.0.1103 server with PEQ. Everything ran fine, and I can pick my server in the list, log on, and create a character. Whenever I do that, there are no starting items. When I look on a vendor, there are no starting items. When I hail someone, anyone, i get no response. When I go out and kill about 10 things, none of them had any loot.

I looked at the database, and everything is in the tables as it should be, the starting_items table has everything in it, the lootdrop, lootdrop_entries, loottable, loottable_entries are all full, the merchantlist has items in it...

It seems that for some reason, it's storing my character info but not pulling records for all of the other stuff. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I tried searching, but when I searched for "empty vendor", "vendor & no items", "empty loot", "loot items", and "starting items" I got either posts that were too old or posts that didn't relate. If I'm just searching for the wrong thing, or anyone knows of a fix out there, let me know what it is. Otherwise, I can give the info for my server if PM'd.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick reply, CaveDude.

I ran the sql command to change the mode, but I'm pretty sure I set it up non-strict (have a WIMP config that also runs WoW server). When I dropped and re-pop'd the db after running that, and after I restarted my server, I'm still having the same issues. Anything else it could be?

I just tried to do an #itemsearch with my gm character on the account, and any item id i put in doesn't work, at least with the ID from the item database. For instance, he's a pally, I'm trying to give him a Soulfire. I look in the db, find the soulfire as item 5504. I then go in and do #itemsearch 5504, and it gives me "Item #5504 not found".

itemsearch looks for items by name and gives you the ID. Do #itemsearch soulfire and then do #si itemID. Or just do #si 5504 since you already know the ID.

I did #itemsearch soulfire and it gave back "0 items found". I did #si 5504, and it said "No such item: 5504". I think that the issue is that SOME tables are hitting ok, ie. the mobs are showing up, they have coin on them, but no items. Yet some tables, like loot, vendors, startitems, items aren't hitting.
