Minilogin - cannot see local server

Either that, or in your account record, rulesflag field, set it to 1.

Good to see you got it sorted out.

Yeah, I just happened across that little item on cavedude/sesmar's forum. I didn't have a rules row in my variables table, but I started the game up again and tried #acceptrules which allowed me to turn left and right now, but not forwards or backwards.

Prior to that I could click and interact with things AND sit down... need to go check the db again, and more digging, I imagine...

Also, keep on mind, some of us have problems with version EQEmu-0.7.0-941. one of the symptoms is, when you log into the zone, you can't move. The way to know for sure is, back down to an older version, like 940

Yep, almost beat you to it again, as I saw that mentioned either here or on Cavedude/Sesmar's forums and just checked which one I grabbed... 941...

Should I try an even older one that 940, or should 940 just do the trick?

[Angelox]

Actually I prefer 933, because most the quest globals features were working then - So I'd say 933.

[cutterjohn]

Well, I just jumped the gun and grabbed 940, renamed my old directory copied the maps, quests, startup batch file and the 2 config files over to 940. Installed the 2 IIRC minilogin files, ran it, logged in, and BANG! I can move my char forwards and backwards!

Does 941 work for anyone? If not, I really think that they ought to retract it's release status...

933: IIRC that was the one that cavedude recomended and said that he used on sesmar.net, but if 940 works ok for me I'll just go with it as I've nothing to lose at this point, other than more time...

Thanks for all the help.

EDIT:
oops missed the part about the quests, maybe I'll go grab 933 now then...

940 is fine, just has some issues with quest globals is all, but if you ever use my database, you might miss out on some cool stuff.
In fact, here's my version of 940, I've been using it all week and it works fine;
http://www.nahunta.org/~angelox/file...940-source.rar
It's source, so you'd have to get someone to compile the executables for windows.
what i did was, revert the quest globals part of the source to what it was at 933 - the rest is 940.

I've seen some strangeness with 941, compiled on FC4. Sometimes when I zone, it'll say "You have entered perl5.8/blahblah/something.pl" (not sure what the text is exactly), and yesterday I could GM myself. but my name wouldn't go green. I switched to PEQ-raw (from Cavedudes old one I've been torturing to death) and I could GM myself fine. Not sure what I've done, cuz aside from a few doors and fog, I haven't really changed the database much.

But I too am starting to believe 941 might not be so stable.

[cutterjohn]

Sorry, been playing around with the base 933 + pew.

So you do the angelox db? I'll have to look and see what the difference are with that one...

Oh, the link in your post is broken. I'd like to try that version, but even if it wasn't broken, I'm not sure if a) I'd get around to building it, or b) still be able to figure out how to get what I presume is a VS7(?) project to build in VS6. I've done it once before, but it was quite a while ago... (That, and I never installed visual studio again since upgrading over the summer... )
