Problems with Rev2098 (Release with Bots)

[throgh81]

Hello EQEmu-Community!

I'm sorry to get directly into the problem: I'd like to install a complete "Everquest"-Server on a Windows-Machine (exactly Windows Server 2000). No problem until now: Because of an issue with the Zone-Server I made an update to the binary-release 2098. Previously I used 2092. After installing ActivePerl 5.10 instead of 5.14 (seems to be the solution for the Zone-Server issues), I've tried to login. All this was functional, but now I just don't see a server or better said any server. The list is complete empty!

Perhabs somebody has got a clue so I could look after the problem?
I'm using a blank installation on a VM for now, because after the tests I have to prepare the REAL server-machine for installation. The database was made with the release 2092 and only the update-sql for 2098 had to be done for now.

Please ... would be nice to get a helping hand.

Hello Noport!

Thanks for your reply: I was using initially ActivePerl 5.14 in combination with the revision 2092. As client I'm using the "Titanium Edition". The problem occured then that the zone server crashed all the time, because of the compiled server with VC++ 2008.

Then the precompiled binaries used to be non functional for me, I was searching again the forums and found out that there is a problem with compilation VC++ 2008 and Perl 5.14. So I used 5.12 now and what should i say?

Yeah, it is functional! Ok I stumbled around only in the starting area for an hour but everything seems fine. Thank you for your tipps within here and ... thanks for this great software and the community here, helping with tipps.


Great to know, there are more "makers" around in the world.
And I hope to give something back when deeper within the software.
