Rule Errors / Mob Spawn Problems...

[Angelox]

You got me curious now, what executables are you using? Or do you compile your own? and what version of the Emu /Database you're working with?

[Furinex]

Alright, Here's the complete setup.

At first I was using the Most recent release from the download page, EQ Emu 1129. Then I was told to look into SVN because I was getting a bunch of Rule errors. That fixed that.

Loginserver.ini

 ### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

Using as a start sequence a start.bat file that looks like this:

@echo off
start minilogin.exe
start world.exe
echo Wait for World to finish loading... Press Enter when done.
pause
start eqlaunch.exe zones
exit

Obviously using Minilogin.exe, world.exe and eqlaunch.exe. Using CVN of PEQ's database. Most recent, like... this morning as a matter of fact when I tried re-sourcing my entire database... What else can I tell you that might help?

(No i dont compile my own...)

Im going to do a complete reinstall, of the server, of mysql, of activeperl. everything. Hopefully that will alleviate some of my issues. I'll let you know how it goes, Im going to use http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...ka=ws992mysql5 as my guide (as usual)

[Angelox]

I'm just trying to see if there might be a detail that slipped by.
There's something else you could try, but it's very time consuming - it at least will verify if the problem is yours or some compatibility with what you downloaded.
I have posted tested working executables and database at my site. You could install it just to see if it's going to do the same. The error seems to point to the source, but it just could be anything and that's the error you get.
I always try to keep mysql, eqemu, perl in the old conventional places ;
C:\PERL
C:\EQEMU
C:\MYSQL

I noticed 'H:\Servers\EverQuest Emulator\EQEmu-0.7.0-1129\EQEmu-0.7.0-1129\EQEmu-0.7.0-1129\quests' for your quests.
hopefully you have it in 'C:\EQEMU\QUESTS'

[Furinex]

Heh, No I dont, I actually do have it where it is listed. But Ive always kept it on a drive other than C: and never had an issue with it. By the way, Is there some sort of direction on how to update 1129 with the SVN rev 222? Im not really sure how to go about this so it all ends up correctly, The SVN file and folder hierarchy is different than 1129's. Default is there and has a bunch of folders that seem to be in the usual EQEMU directory.

[Furinex]

This is crazy, I dont know if I could possibly run into more issues than I have. Mysql wont install now. I googled the error (Which is, Could not start the service mysql, error 0) and found a solution and it doesnt even work (sc delete mysql, to delete the service, it was successful and I tried redoing the config and I get the same error everytime.) Im about to shoot the nearest bunny.

[Angelox]

All the sqls you need to bring it up to date should be in the sources '/EQEmuServer/utils/sql/svn'.

I've had that problem with MySql where it wouldn't start on a re install and re boot fixed it. You know Leslamarch has an install tool that works pretty flawless (for me it did anyway).
He has it pretty much up to date with both database.

[Furinex]

Damn SQL installed finally. Moving on. really what I was asking is... When I download the 1129 emu from the site (win32 binaries) and then the SVN binaries (win32) from the SVN site, how do I update 1129 to the SVN with all the fixes... Just copy the files from SVN/Build over the 1129 files?
