couple of newbie questions.

[bufferofnewbies]

First off, I need to start by saying:

candlesaccount, your last post not only tells that you fixed the problem, but how you fixed it. A very good sign of posting from a new poster. 1 Buffer point for you.

now to your post:

Gloomingdeep is in the server packs as an available zone (#zone tutorialb), but noone has a working implimentation of them from live as far as I have seen. Best bet here is to see if Doc Z has that done (he's pretty good, even if he is a damned dirty ape) or use that zone as your 'testing ground' to get used to setting mob populations/ quests you might want to add later on yourself.

new errors:
1. cleary stolen from another post by someone who knows more than I do:

i still use the 6.2 client so have not ran into this problem. if you are useing cavedudes auto installer maybe try DLing the binaries of the same version your useing from eqemu DL section and replace the world.exe from the one u just dled with the one in your eqemu folder (backup or rename the current world.exe in your eqemu folder incase it don't work you can revert back).

2. Usually if you die in a zone you are bound in, the server kicks you. If this is the case for you, it is a known issue that is being pondered upon by quite a few of us as we speak. If you are getting disconnected and this isnt the case, then yell back and we will see were it goes from there.

3. Alot of newbie clothes show up with a cloth or blank model, as on live. If you mean a change in their armor worn try with robes, chain/ plate armor and see if they work for you. If so, then its just your items worn atm arent set to be visual. Also note: the hair/ face of PCs are currently still a bit buggy from what I understand. This is because not all of the codes are known for certain aspects of characters. Since its only appearance, and not a crashing error, it is not high on the list of things to fix.

Hope that was something that helped.

well i found this error a couple of times in the log files.

[11:30. - 12:36:37] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_0512.log
[11.30. - 12:36:37] [LAUNCHER__ERROR] You must specfify a launcher name as the first argument to this program.

as for the armor. i'll just have to wait till my character has enough money to buy chainmail/leather armor to see if the character model changes when i equip it. (having trouble getting my server to recognise a 2nd (gm)account)

is there a way to override the disconnect on death or am i biting off more than i can chew already?

I gathered the hair and face bug from trying the other publice servers. its become routine to me now to set those each time. small price to pay to play a great game

hmm, goto your MySQL Query Browser and look under the launcher table.
see if you have one called zones (under the name field) and how many dynamic zones you want to startup under dynamics ( I recommend at least 1/ each player that might have access + 2 or 3 extra. If not, try adding these in.

I'm not sure if that is what is causing the error, but worth a shot. It might be a simple cause of you not haveing enough dynamics to open a new zone while the other is still active.

If you have GM access, do a #search big bag of
this will give you the number for a big bag of platinum, which you can sell during this test phase. (simple destroy the extra coin afterwards)
then do a #si (item number) -- without the parenthesis
sell that bag to a merchant and viola.. lots of coin, oh, be sure to do this AT the armor merchant. As you will be VERY encumbered. hehe

only by not hunting in the zone you are bound in, I tend to recommend for my players to use PoK as a local bind spot until this is fixed. Since it is unlikely they will die there.

I posted this somewhere else, but can't find the link. Another way to fix your face, hair, and I think even armor bits is to target yourself and re-set your #gender (if this is your own server). If not, bald, nude chicks are hot anyway.

went there. there are 2 listed. the first field in the first entry says name. the error says i must specify a name for that field. problem solved? mysql would let me edit those fields. i cant post a new entry, or edit the existing ones.
