New Server Issues

[SoltanHeatwave]

I do know the difference between having the GM flag enabled and disabled. I only enabled the GM flag once, and after reading the boards took it off and have never enabled the GM flag since then. I am going through my error logs now. I'll post them later. Yes I did made one mistake in referring to the OoW zones, frustration can sometimes be very annoying, but that doesn't explain why I can't use the guild teleporter to get to Wall of Slaughter when I can use it to get to other zones. That is zones prior to Planes of Power. None of the zones after Planes of can be accessed by the Teleporter nor do any of the mobs agro there, irregardless if I am GM flagged or not. I even created a new account that has 0 for it's capabilities and none of the mobs there agro. There are no subdirectories in my Maps folder, I downloaded the newest maps I could find and so far nothing works. I may be very inexperienced as far as the EQEmu server is concerned, but I do know my way around a computer. I am sorry that I am not an expert Perl or SQL programmer, but that is why I am asking for some help.

Most zones post GoD are rather incomplete in regards to faction setting and stats. You can make changes to the NPCs in OoW and any other zone you choose through the npc_types table. I would highly recommend taking a look into georges tools though. The interfaces make editing the database very user friendly. To make NPCs aggro however you will want to edit their faction id. An ID of 79 is a general KOS faction.

As far as getting to WoS through the guild porter, I believe your normal accounts cant get their because OoW+ zones have a minimum status setting by default since PEQ has not reached those stages, so they keep those zones off limits to their players. You can change these settings in the zone table of the database by editing the min_status to 0.

I have redownloaded and redone the server a few times already, and I have not found these .path files in any folder or subfolder. I don't know if these missing files would cause quest npc's to intermittently answer hails, or seeing incorrect graphics for particular mobs, or having an incorrect image in the guild hall or not.

Thank you MarioMario. I tried it with my 250 flagged account and the guild portal still didn't work. I can only go to pre pop zones. I can set the teleporter to another zone like dragonscale hills, but when I step into the porter nothing happens. Again that is with a 250 flagged account, not gm flagged and xp and level set to 65. I found the gm commands and leveled the character up to 65, without being gm flagged, just to try the porter as a level 65 toon.

Inside of the guild hall quest folder, the player.pl is where your problem lies. This is where the answer for the pop up occurs.

The # before some of those quest::movepc means that line is commented out so perl wont execute those particular lines. This is why the porter wont send you to those zones.

I will remove the comment's from the lines. Thank you for your help.

Don't worry about the .path files. The .map files are the important ones.

When you say intermittently respond to hails, I assume that you are not standing close enough to the NPCs.

Incorrect graphics for mobs may be the client for the era of zone you are going into. Not all zones are complete.

I am standing close enough. I will go to the npc, and hit the H key to hail it, and nothing will happen. I will then rapidly hit the H key a number of times and after 15 to 20 hails will get a response. This happens to the npc standing near the soulbinder in PoK. None of the other NPC's in any of the other zones will respond at all, no matter how close I stand to them.

I am using Secrets of Faydwer Client, not updated. I believe that one has all of the updates to the new zones. The old Freeport West doesn't have the correct graphics, which I can understand, since the SoF client has the new graphics, but the new Steamfont zone doesn't have its graphics correct, the old zone does.
