PEQ Server Pack 4.0

[Theeper]

Nice work as usual CD!

Do you ever plan to turn this into a server patcher ?

Aye, I rewrote the internal workings a bit so it's easier for me to insert databases and the binaries/source. The next version will have additional options for upgrading, like sourcing the system tables only. I just wanted this version to be a baseline, so we're all on the same page.

The new version of the installer is out, utilizing the 1104 EQEmu binaries and DB, as well as up to date quests.

A third binary has been added, meant to update the previous version of the installer. If you already have Server Pack installed, grab the upgrade which by far is the smallest of the 3. It will update your binaries, quests, and system tables of the db without destroying toons, bots, and server configuration.

If you are new to the Server Pack, then you'll need to pick a full version. If you are new to EQEmu and don't already have maps downloaded, then I recommend grabbing the version with maps. It's hefty (200+MB), but it will get you setup with everything you need, except for Titanium, Perl and MySQL.

Please read the notes at the beginning of the installer. This will help prevent problems, especially since Perl was recently updated and breaks EQEmu!

Please note that EQoffline included is still using 1102 (the same as the previous Server Pack installation). Unless somebody beats me to it, I plan on merging the bot code into 1104 eventually. Due to new columns/rules in the db, you may get some errors on start up when using these binaries. However, they should still work fine and the errors are safe to ignore. EQoffline users will still benefit from the updated quests and DB content.

I changed the upgrade installer system a bit. Now, on days I update DB CVS, I also plan to update the upgrade pack. The full version may fall behind until major releases occur, but the upgrade pack should stay relatively up to date. The link on the download site now directs you to a forum post on the PEQ forums with links to all of the previous upgrade packs. To avoid confusion, you only need to apply the newest one, as it will contain all of the data provided in the previous versions. Upgrade Pack is now running 1106.

How do i make accounts to log into my minilogin server. i tried logging in with the name:mini pass:mini on my eq but all it does is brign up the server screen where you select your server. i select the server and go to play it loads a bit then hangs and brings me back to the login screen on eq. how do i fix that? o.o

hey, Derduhh, got a solution
1: uninstall, i mean entirely, MySQL version 5. if not using version 5, get it
2: reboot computer, please!
3: reinstall the PEQ file, now you only have to do the 'PEQ Database' option. everything else, won't matter yay or nay. just this

now boot up EQEmu, EQ itself, log in..i get a problem in which it goes nowhere the first time i log into PEQ, i just Alt F4 the client, start back up, and it works fine..

Enjoy!

Updated to 1110, added some updated maps to the full version. Both the EQEmu and EQOffline binaries include a good amount of fixes from the EQEmu forums, plus some other miscellaneous stuff. Source is included with both full versions.
