World.exe crashing when somebody joins...

What version of the server are you running?
What version of the database are you running?

If you don't know, when/where did you get the binaries, or did you compile yourself? What database file did you run? Did you try to update and now you're getting these errors, or are you setting up for the first time?

In the log you provided, I see: [10.23. - 13:57:31] [WORLD__INIT] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.7.0 - If I'm correct, the newest versions say 0.8.0? If so, these binaries are old.

Assuming you want to update your server to the newest build- Back everything up. You don't want to wipe anything out and lose all of your characters! Get the latest build from the svn (Andrew80k uploaded the rev1708 binaries a couple days ago) Then download the latest database (PEQ I assume?) rev-1667 I think. Update the database, then check the server binaries in Utils/sql/svn for any revs later than 1667. You may also want to check the changelog.txt in the server folder for any sql changes not put in it's own script file. Also, if you have accounts and characters already created, you would need to check for any updates for those tables (character_, account, etc.) Some of the guides floating around may help as well.

Bad Captain,


i used the PEQ LoY server pack (http://www.peqtgc.com/downloads.php) which, now looking, is very out of date.

I presume theres no way to run an out of date pack? (the server is only for a few friends).

I'm a little lost with it all, but was following some database update guide on the peq forum, for which I downloaded the peqdb_rev1667 and the quest files. I had replaced the quest files, and am trying to update my mysql database with the new peqdb file, but navicat is bugging out.

The readme for the peqdb states:
Update Setup:

1. Unpack peqdb_Revxxx.sql.gz using winrar, gzip, whatever you use.
2. Source drop_system.sql.
3. Source the new peqdb_Revxxx.sql into your database.
4. Enter the updates folder, read the readme.txt there and be sure to source in any updates since the last time you updated.


But when i get to executing the peqdv.sql in navi, it just seems to time out, it processes 59/59, but stays at 0% and keeps timing (it was at 300seconds typing this)



I'm not sure where to go from here.
