Hello =) am new to this, not to eq of course but have been thru the complete guide for setting up a server for windows, at first that ran fine, then it kept saying it couldn't find world.exe, everytime at first while it was running that I wanted to edit something I was drooling at the thought of using these tools mentioned in here =) which are truly awesome! Thanks George...
Anyway I went back and forth between the complete guide and George's web page, tried installing the repack and some reason it showed no items on the toons and items showed up correctly in the loot/npc editor... and #itemsearch wouldn't work.. so I uninstalled all from both guides and studied..
I don't know if this was supposed to work or not but I thought that I would share....
starting fresh .. everything even pc restored and hours of downloading windows updates sigh lol
(I had everything from the complete windows guide on external hard drive too as a copy in case I needed help)
I installed his drivers first
Then the repack
Then overwrote the perl
then swapped out the contented of the bot file of his into the peq server folder
then just copied the maps in place of, not wanting to update and again but checked it out to make sure it was ok and it was
svn check out to quests
replaced SQL folder completely with the one I used in complete set up guide (rev2506)
checked it for svn updates
installed MySQL because even though it's in the file it didn't let me access it at the command prompt which is the main way I know how to use it right now
opened command prompt
(I installed the repack to c:/repack) so
navigated to it in command prompt similar to complete set ups guide
cd c:/repack/sql
next= once there= MySQL -uroot -password
use peq;
(it said it switched database so database peq existed opposed to the complete set up guide where you'd create one)
so I ...
drop database peq;
create database peq;
use peq;
source peqdb_rev2506.sql
it loaded I said yay..
then once it was done
source load_players.sql
source load_bots.sql
then exit exit.
made sure the server folder had the configurations file as my root/pass and db peq
loaded up works beautifully.. except gate doesn't work for some reason so far that's been it, bots work fine... zones work fine, the tools and I dl all of them all work but do give error messages I turn music off where it has options to, and then it loads... and I have edited loot works... have used the server status, spell importer (reading from an old post I guessed since it imported spell_us into the server folder that I need to put spell_en into it, and I did but I've not rebooted yet (family connected to it right now)
so will see if that works for gate not working or not,
so from what I learned so far I see maps, quests, peqdb and source needs updated regularly I got all that except with George's I don't really know where the "source" folder is that I would want to us
http://projecteqemu.googlecode/svn that one I'm not sure if I need to keep updates on or not according to past posts I guess I don't? Hopefully George you can understand my more plan English about it lol, not real technical speaking but it is working! really good too, so far, it's just that I feel that I might be lacking updating something? or am I good? The gate thing.. I'm trying to figure it out will find out if I'm right once I get rebooted but if you know what it is please post reply =)
Also one great thing I would love to make this offline play I read some posts about that and love the idea as this server is for an eq loving family, that's all.. I didn't want to follow the guides on offline cuz I wasn't sure if it would work the same way using Repack or not?
Thanks Again!
hugs!
Work in progress...
