Quest Problems

I don't think these were actually in the changelogs but a file that Derision linked in the forums. Look in the task thread and you should find it.

I'll give that a look but I ran the .sql file again and it gave me duplicates of everything, so I already did that. I also took a peek in the quests_ax_classic folder and read the "README_NOW" file. It says "These are the quests needed for the ax_classic and ax_peq database. If you don't use these quests, the database will not work right." and it's referencing to some quests that were in the folder by default.

Did you do this file?

SQL File

Also, since I read your initial post, what are your log files saying? Do you have quest_debug files in your logs directory? Breack those open and see what they say.

Anything in the logs?

This is the only thing I get for the quest files:

Code:

No zone_quest_debug file?

Ok, I started off with a fresh install. I'm using EQEmu 1129, Active Perl 5.8.7, MySQL 5.0, and Ax Classic for my DB.

Still, even after a fresh install and following TechGuy's guide word for word, I'm getting these errors:

Code:

I ran that long list of changes through the query browser and everything went fine. I ran the required sql changes from the changelog and that went fine. Any suggestions?

As Rocker said, the errors in the initial post indicate that the binaries being used do not have the Task system in them, but the database has the rules for the task system. i.e. zone is reading the rules from the database, but because the version of zone predates the task system, it is complaining it doesn't know what to do with those rules. This would not cause any problems with quests, so the problem lies elsewhere.

This would indicate the binaries are not from the SVN but are version 1129 or below.

Code:

[10.10. - 17:05:07] [RULES__ERROR] Unable to find rule 'TaskSystem:EnableTaskSystem'
[10.10. - 17:05:07] [RULES__ERROR] Unable to interpret rule record for TaskSystem:EnableTaskSystem

Seems to me that it is looking for the TaskSystem rules and can't find them?

Well that is correct, but what is happening is it is reading the rule from the database in RuleManager::LoadRules, then calling RuleManager::SetRule, but because the zone binary doesn't have the Task rules compiled in (ruletypes.h), it can't find them, so 'Unable to find rule' means they are present in the database, but not present in the version of zone he is using.

E.g. Add a rule to the rule_values DB table, rule_name RandomRule : DoesntExist, rule_value false, boot your server and you will get the Unable to find rule/Unable to interpret rule errors.

Ahhh. Gotcha. Makes sense....

I am using version 1129 and I did what Rocker said to do with the code.

When I boot up my server, it still shows the "Unable to find" errors. Also when I tried to run the code in the Query browser, I kept getting errors (Unknown table, table already exists, etc.) but eventually they went away.
