Tool - New Quest Editor

How do I fix that so that it points to my files on my computer?

I am having the problem and I am positive I am pointing to the right path.

It is copied directly from the address bar of my computer when I am sitting in the directory.

everquest_folder=C:\EQEmu\quests


Edit: If it matters I am not an advanced user, I didn't install everything seperate from scratch. I got the installer that got the server up and running for me. Server seems to be running with no problems. I can use the mysql to do a number of things, but no luck with quests.

I did have a problem when registering dll's. All of them registered except for:

regsvr32 imagelist.ocx /s

I am using vista 64bit if that matters. I haven't had any luck finding that missing DLL on the web. Plenty of people talking about the DLL but I didn't see a place to download it.

Thanks for any and all future help.

GeorgeS has told me what to do to fix it. I'll take care of it when I get home from work.

Thanks all.

I'll look into imagelist.ocx. and it might need to be added to the resources file.

Also, the db.ini error you pm'ed me about comes from a syntax error/typo
host=localhost
user=eq
password=eq
database=peq
everquest_folder=c:\Everquest
quest_folder=c:\EQEmu\quests


the above is correct. The error comes up when quest_folder="" or there's a line/frame shift - missing CR somewhere?
Copy that shown above and paste into the db.ini, but modify your account data. Like I said the error comes from inccorectly parsing the db.ini file for some reason. You're welcome to pm me with you db.ini file for me to examine.

I sent you another pm, thanks.

Yeah that error is weird. I cannot explain this at all. The only thing is the file is missing - then the program should report a db.ini missing error. I've no idea.
However, I redid the db.ini parser to help and it should spit out the line in the db.ini it's having problems with.

Quest Editor
ver 1.1.9 Program will report syntax error if db.ini has problems and db.ini parser redone

George,

I get an error when loading the executable.

"Component 'DXAnimatedGIF.ocx' or one of its dependencies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

[GeorgeS]

That ocx should be registered via 'register_ocx.bat' in the resources folder.

If running vista, right click on the file and run as admin.

GeorgeS, I see that the quest editor automatically changes the case of some of the quest objects still. Can you disable all of the case changing for the tool? The example I am currently having problems with is it changing SetTarget to settarget. Since all of the quest objects are case sensitive, it is important that these don't get changed automatically. If there are any other automatic case changes, you probably want to remove all of those as well.

Running XP, not vista.
