bull... I just ran everquest.exe and it replaced my eqgame.exe, among other things.
it doesn't bother me, I have the subject thread and the silly zipfile nested nicely in one of my folders. Besides, there are much less riskier ways of of reverting to the december patch, why put this great guide at risk...

one last little thing

Ok. a little note to any new folks out there (like me) and hope everyone reads this whole thread before doing this (this is a really well put together guide btw) 
When i sourced the first database (the big one), i went for a cup of coffee and did a couple more things and came back and waited...and waited. when it got done, i lost track of where i was and cut right to the next procedure (the delete items deal)
DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID!
be sure to source the other little items into the database first. what happened was when i ran the perl load items, i got a crapload of errors because i skipped the 6.0-6.1 convert and had to start ALL OVER hehe |

Are there any other places other then activestate.com to get those few utility addons? I can't seem to get access to that site - I'm very much looking forward to trying the tutorial.
-- Edit --
Nevermind - I managed to get into it finally, must have just been really busy this morning and got the modules needed.

Okay, i editted out the patch thing, didnt realise. Thanks alot for letting me know Belf, i see your posts everywhere, you are very informative! And there were quite a few files that were updated on 5/11. I havent gotten it to work yet with the newest patch.
As for the command.pl aparently its an unnecisary file and you can create a blank one if you wish. The PEQ guys told me its not needed... I tried what they said and it just gave me another error. So im not going to bother posting what it was.
Also, if someone else is new to this like me... You need to eb careful when you are in zones like AkAnon, Dragon Necropolis, Veeshans Peak, and Sleepers Tomb... You will get a ton of errors from zone.exe in regards to petstruct not being redefined... And if you click abort it will basically LD you from the zone.
Hope the guide works for everyone else, really sorry about the patch thing. I didnt realise that was warez or whatever...

hmmm. so thats what that error is. i came across it in lake of ill omen and had to manually put my char back in SFG through the DB. i guess its one certain kind of pet (since i couldn't see any when i got the error) i went all through seb with chanter pets and wizzie familiars with no prob. so until there's a fix, guess we need to avoid those places :\

went through the guide and came across a couple things last nite. a couple of the links when clicking on them open up a text doc. i tried saving it as an sql file and they come up errors when trying to source them.
|
The reason its happening is when you save them you are actually saving them as .sql.txt. When you right cilck to save them, make sure in the 'save as type' box, you click 'All Files' as well as making sure that the File Name: has a .sql at the end. You are basically saving them as text files if you save them default. This is how IE works, not an error with the writeup or the script...

I have found this to be specific to wizard pets, namely the uhmm... Sword one, i think its called like sword of xuxil, whenever wizards cast this pet it causes this error. I dont know if thats the only thing that causes it, but im pretty sure it has something specifically to do with wizard pets and th sword of xuzil or whatever. Ive killed their pets and had them remake it only to find the exact same error... If you alt-tab out when you hear the computer ding, you can usually hit I for ignore and keep playing no problems.
Changed the first post to be alittle more specific on how to download the SQL files, and which files you can download by right clicking.

Minilogin should bring up a page with mirrors to download from.

First question is are you playing on the same computer as the server is on, and in the databaase file, in accounts, did you set the minilogin_ip to 127.0.0.1?

Hey, I dont know where all the errors are coming from. I ran this guide on a few computers now and it worked perfectly for me.
As for *where* the PEQ pre5/11 patch is i cant say. Sorry, i dont know if its a rule over at projecteq, but i would probably ask over there instead.
Hopefully this works for most, i honestly cant say why your servers are not showing up. Like i said before, sometimes that would happen, but if i logout or restart my EQ client it would show up, it was never permanent. If you put everything in the way it was stated in the guide you should be good to go. I would say if you change any of the 127.0.0.1 to localhost, that you change them all.
If you cannot connect to the worldserver, then i would make sure your loginserver and worldserver are actually takling to each other. If they are, then theres probably a problem between the two of them, but thats a guess.
So once again, sorry for thsoe who it isnt working for. I can try to help where i can, but i cant offer up the info on where the patch is, and i dont know why the servers arent showing up. Sorry :(
As for a working internet version, i cant say. I am behind a military network, so i basically built this for my personal laptop, since i get no chance to play on my live account and im having withdrawls :P
Maybe some experienced veterans will come visit and inform on some of the errors. Because i dont know :(
