Hey guys, long time no see! (And a small request.)

[vales]

Wow, so much has changed since I've been here, a while back. I'm glad to see things are still moving along quite nicely as well. I've recently purchased the Secrets of Faydwer pack (for 5 dollars US @ newegg! ), and thought this would be an opportune time to try getting this going again.

Anyways, I've decided to dive back into messing around with EQEmu, and quite frankly, I think I'm worse off then when I started all those years ago. There doesn't seem to be any current and relative information on exactly what to do. I know the wikki was vandalised quite a bit back in the day, and some of the links/tutorials were updated. However, there seems to be a lot of confusion as to which guide to follow and things to download, as well as install. It's a mish-mash of old and new tutorials and the links to most of the programs have since then been updated ten fold

If you are just trying to play, here is the playguide:

If you want to run a server, then the guides are still not perfectly accurate. We are hopefully going to get the website moved to some new web hosting soon. When that happens, I am hoping we can get the wiki all moved into Media Wiki and then have a few people work on it to get the guides all reformatted properly and also get them updated as well. At the very least, it is important that we get a current working server setup guide going. But, I have no ETA on when any of this is going to happen.

Also, I wanted to note that since you have SoF and SoF is still pretty new and still being finalized, you won't be able to log into all servers. You should be able to try any of them, but if you can't get in game, the server doesn't have it enabled yet. For now, I would recommend trying PEQ (The Grand Creation) or Storm Haven, as they both have SoF enabled and they both stay very up-to-date with the code. So, until more servers start updating, your best bet will be those 2 servers.

Oops. It got cut off. :/

Yep, been playing on PEQ since it's creation basically - I have all of my client CDs to prove it, lol. I've missed so much as far as this game is concerned, and it was a real priviledge to play on PEQ again. Loved every minute of it.

I guess I can wait until the move. But I used to run a sandbox server for testing certain quests/mobs/zones with a handful of friends. It would be real handy to get this back up as I've assembled the Old Farts Union to play once again (getting that done was a chore in itself since WoW sucked them in pretty bad, lol).


If a quickie totorial could be posted for now, I would wash your car for a year. I'm pretty knowedgeable about the inner workings of it all, but for reason, it will not compile for the life of me.


I've downloaded the 64-bit MySQL (mysql-5.1.34-winx64), Perl64 (ActivePerl-5.10.0.1004-MSWin32-x64-287188 ), VC Studio 2008, and done the checkouts from the googlepages for PEQ and EQEmu.

For the checkout folders, I have:

Source

http://projecteqemu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/EQEmuServer

PEQ Database

http://projecteqdb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

PEQ Quests

http://projecteqquests.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/quests

I've set and added the directories in VC (lib and includes). When I import the project file (Server.sln - 6 project files) from the Source folder and build it, only EMuShareMem.dll seems to be the only one that successfully compiles - 1 successful 5 failed.

Any do's and don'ts or tips you can give me? Was the 64bit version of Perl compatible with all this? I do remember having to copy over the spells.txt and one other file. I also the Maps and Quests.pl I have downloaded in the server folder ready to go.

You can download the binaries here directly:

Just get the Rev408.zip and you won't have to worry about compiling anything as long as you are running on Windows.

Most of the rest of the info you need should be in the server setup guide here:
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...ka=ws992mysql5

If you need help at any point along the way while following that guide, feel free to ask

[vales]

I guess you don't need your car washed then?

I've tried that, using the Rev-408 Bots version. I get a big fat:


I've already installed both 32 and 64-bit versions of Perl starting from version 5.8 all the way up to 5.10. I've cleaned the registry and installation directories as well. I'll try one more time I guess.

I'm so close, I can smell the orc stench from Crushbone.

This may help...or maybe not...but worth a look eh?
