Spell Level 255 and eqlaunc.exe problems.

[lerxst2112]

For spells to work, your client spell file and the server database need to match. As far as I know, the standard peq database works fine with the default client spell file. If you've changed that file on your client then you'll have a problem unless you import it into your server database as well or restore the default client file.

If eqlaunch.exe isn't running it means you're missing some DLL files, most likely the Visual Studio 2005 runtime. You can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...s.aspx?id=3387

You can find out exactly what you are missing with the dependency walker program that you can download here: http://www.dependencywalker.com/

An alternative is to install Visual Studio 2005 and use it to compile your own server files. There are guides on how to do this in the forums.

I didn't alter the spell file. I did a clean install of titanium.

I'll try the walker tool you mentioned. Thanks for the info on that. I did try to load the latest .net files as well as the C++ runtime files. That didnt seem to work.


EDIT: UPDATE:


I had already tried loading the .net files as well as the Visual Studio 2k8 Runtime files. No luck there. I also tried using the dependency walker tool you recommended and it showed 3 files I was missing. 2 had the same name and google searches indicated the VS runtimes would resolve that dependency. However it did not. I gave up working on that file and deviced to try to resolve the other file. it was called MSJAVA.dll. I made the assumption this would be installed with the java runtime files so I went to SUN.com and installed the latest javart fileset.

BAM! walker still shows the missing msjava.dll but not the other file. So I decided to give running it a shot. Sure enough my eqlaunch.exe now runs and opens dynamic zone servers = to the dynamic zones entry in the database. IT WORKS!.


Thanks for the help with the eqlaunch. Now if I could just figure out the spells issue.
