All spells fizzle on server, none cast

[Huppy]

Just thought i would mention some trivial info for people "new" to this that may not have the knowledge, yet. In the database, there is a table called spells_new. It contains all the spells, that your server is using, or going to use.
As Uleat was implying above, it's 'recommended" that your spells_us.txt file (and 3 others) match the table(s) in your database. That is easily accomplished, by running the export_client_files in your server folder. (as long as you have a subfolder named "export" in your main server folder. Running that will generate the 4 client files. spells_us.txt, dbstr_us.txt, basedata.txt and skillcaps.txt. Copy those files over to all your clients. The basedata and skillcaps files go in the client/Resources folder. The other 2 go in your client main folder.
This is not guaranteed to fix anyone's spell problems, but it can help to rule out any conflicts with that issue.

Thanks, folks (Ulead, ChaosSlayerZ, Huppy), for responding to my inquiry.

Although good and interesting information about the spells_new table and spells_us.txt files and required synchronization, I did not pursue that course. As I mentioned, I have 2 servers and users of 1 cast spells normally. Users of the other all fizzled. Same clients... therefore, the client-side spells_us.txt with DB table did not seem relevant.

While trying to resolve the issue with port 9001, I also mentioned, I had installed and reinstalled the server to see if I could get zones.exe to run. So, I had 2-3 different EQServer install folders. For that port 9001 one I changed the port to 9002 and all is good... except the spells all fizzle.

I went back to a few of the other EQServer installs I had created and used the same database, made a few changes in json to match (including the port 9002). When I start the server, all zones.exe start normally. When I log in, my character is able to cast spells again. No abnormal fizzles.

I cannot clearly state what aspect of my EQServer install was flakey and caused the "every spell fizzles" issue for player characters. But I think a fresh install of EQServer seems to have been the resolution.

Thanks, again. I'll chalk this up to another server mystery.

If I run into any other issues with that same fizzle issue, I'll post here again.
