Setting up pre5/11 Velious Beta1 + 6.1DR1 + Minilogin(windows)

[-Arctura-]

Ok im a complete noob to this, but would really like to get this figured out.

Im stuck on this step

4) Extract Scalar, DBI, and DBD-Mysql to individual directories in temp

what temp? create a new temp folder and put the files there?



4a) Open command prompt, navigate to the extracted DBI directory, type in PPM then:
Code: install DBI.ppd



oK, i opened the PPM.. typed in install, and it says it cannot find the files, i guess thats because i dont know where to put them in the first place....
how do i make the PPM find the files? i know Standard DOS code but this doesnt seem to recognize it.
how would i say 'install (folder where i put the files)/DBI.ppd'
so that it works?


like i said im a total noob and need things to be explained in full.
(assume i know nothing) lol

Good call Greyhill, can that be added to the tutorial?

[Debacle]

Well, this tutorial finally got me up and running - and thanks Greyhill, I had the same issues with items but the fix worked.

There are alot of other issues right now (characters won't delete, spell msgs are 'Spellunknown', can't scribe spells from scrolls (#scribespells works though)), etc. I'll continue to scour these forums before making a post on them, though.

I am able to log into the game and play on the preferred server, but the server I created does not work.


When I try to run world.exe, I keep getting these two errors:

Error message: 'Version invalid'


and

Error: DBAsyncCB_LoadVariables failed: !GetAnswer: '#1146: Table 'eq.variables' doesn't exist'

Im guessing your database isnt right. The first error I dont know about. The second error it seems to me world.exe is trying to load a table called eq variables but the database dont even have the table.
