not sure why but the spawn editor doesnt work....gives me a runtime error 53

tradeskill editor works but when you load recipes....rather hit the load all button it will load them make the ping noise you get from a program thats done what its sposed to then ctd. have done the ocx registration on both programs or least i think i did... im confoozled any help please.

Since this happens during/before the splash screen then -

runtime error 53 is a file not found error. This likely comes from a unzip problem. When you extract make sure you preserve directory structure when unzipping and that there's a folder called 'help' and 'resources' within your folder.

got both those folders....its weird structure seems the same but im gonna dl the winzip program see if it does something different

[warsonofrage]

stupid no edit button.......ok here is the folders i have in the initial unzip

help
resources

files not in folder

db
everquest (icon)
grid_editor
npc_loot_editor
readme
spawn_editor
tradeskill_recipes

from what ive read this is correct.

now in the folders i have the following.
help folder is 3.23 megs and shows 10 html files and one internal folder named graphics.

other folder in top of this directory is resources. folder shows 18.4 megs in size with 70 items and one folder named images inside.

ive registered the ocx files and i can use the npc_loot_editor but thr tradeskill thing still crashes after loading all recipes. dont know if this is known bug....and spawn editor still gives me a runtime 53 error.....if im missing something then i apologize for bugging ya but everything seems as if its been done right

something i hadnt noticed before since i never used it....the grid editor also is showing a runtime error 53.....to be clear i also downloaded this file to a diff hard drive then before...tonight from website. and used winzip to make this work. registered the ocx and set up the db config the same as before.

host=localhost
user=*********
password=**********
database=peq
everquest_folder=e:\Everquest
quest_folder=e:\EQEmu\quests

//everquest_folder this is for music during runtime. Leaving this to a dummy folder or Not adding this will not load music
//for example - everquest_folder=null

now...hope this helps somehow. any suggestions at all would make me a very happy dev

many thanks in advance for your time and effort in this project i love these tools and they have honestly made my work a thousand times easier

George, could you please unify all your tools into a single download, install and configuration file so that everything in all nice and happy in 1 directory out of the box.

All these multiple bat files that need to be run, multiple .INI files to updates, etc, are just plain tedious to deal with.

Thanks.

warsonofrage,

It sounds like you probably didn't download the myODBC drivers from GeorgeS' website. Make sure you download and install those. That sounds like the only thing you haven't mentioned yet.

[warsonofrage]

redownloaded and tried to install but can confirm the drivers are already installed.
