Run-time check failuer #3- the variable 'petstruct' is being used with being defined.
(press retry to debug the application)

When i get that problem, i hit ignore, otherwise it crashes the zone. Not sure how to fix it. If you hit retry or abort it will usually make you LD. Ignore just lets it continue. I dont know how to fix it...

Failed to open log file: logs/eqemu_error_world_2744.log

For that you just need to create a c:\eqemu\logs directory.

Im adding these extra steps and the sourced in stuff you put here also.. Thanks vRandom.

I'm stumped... Anyone have any advice please?

Okay, before you redo everything. First create a logs directory in your C:\EQEmu folder (C:\EQEmu\logs).

Then, try re-unzipping the EQEmu-0.6.1-DR1-Perl.zip again to your eqemu directory, make sure you overwrite the three files zone, world, and emusharemem.

I think im going to add some troubleshooting steps to the bottom of my minilogin post...

Also:
If you feel the urge to REDO the database, you dont have to reinstall everything. Type the following code to delete the eq database:

Code:

DROP database IF EXISTS eq;

You can then redo your database.

the post with the zspassword what password will that actually change?

drognir · #5 06-11-2005, 07:27 PM

I've redone it yet again, but still getting the same error. I'm starting to think it's not something that i'm doing wrong, because i followed the steps correctly all 3 times. I don't know what else to do, i tried re-extracting the file you said to, and it's still not working. If anyone can help, i'd really appreciate it. Thanks

for some reason I keep getting error 2006 when I run world.exe "mysql has gone away"
I have tried rebuilding the database as well as completely removing and redoing everything. I would be greatfull for any help.
also I was wondering if the Vel DB contains all the old kunark DB data as well?
thanks,

Great Job on the tutorial!!
I'm so close I can smell the character creation screen... but I'm having issues

I've got everything done with one exception. Because I couldn't find a pre 5/11 patch, I just reinstalled my cds (EverQuest Platinum, released last fall) and didn't patch. I run the Minilogin, World and then 5zonebatch and launch the eqgame-patchme shortcut. I get all the way up to logging in and when I login I get a windows FUBAR error saying "World.exe has generated errors and needs to shut down". Could this be because of the version of EQ I am running? Do I need to install an older EQEmu version? If so which one?

Thanks

Calabeth · #9 06-17-2005, 04:26 AM

Yes it sounds like the version your trying to run is a mismatch. Even though it was released last fall doesnt mean it will have the most up to date files. The files on Disk are probably the basic files of each when they were first made and still need the patching.

Try finding some of the 6.1 servers that are already up as a few offer a patcher that helps ppl be compatible with playing on them. What ye do is patch to live then run their patchers.

Tulwen · #10 06-17-2005, 12:37 PM

Awesome thanks!!! I'll give it a try

iwantavr4 · #11 06-17-2005, 05:59 PM

Hey people... STOP PMing me about the patch. I cant help you.

Next PMs i get about it im either going to start reporting or will just delete them without replying. Depending on the mood im in.

This isnt in response to any of hte posts here, just the PMs in my box!

Aydun · #12 06-19-2005, 09:43 AM

Ok I must be much thicker than most, so please do not killed me I read every post on this thread to make sure no one experienced the same problem..

Step 4. I extracted the DBD/DBI etc to their own directories, I go to cmd line and get to their respective directories (the one that contains the .ppd file) i type

Code:

install DBD-mysql.ppd

etc etc..

I keep getting this error.

Code:

'install' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

you say in PPM type the install line... I'm not sure I follow what PPM is.

Well any insight into this would be much appreciated!

Aydun · #13 06-24-2005, 01:10 AM

Greetings all !
I have gotten quite far into the tutorial now, and the guide is excellent! I've worked through most of the errors, I see my server now and when I click play everquest it loads everything as normal, but then I get a popup window on my desktop saying that starting zone "clz" or something like that couldn't be found, You're not running EQ from the correct directory if you have m ultiple directories, call verant if this prob continues.

Well I did have multiple directories of EQ, so I zipped my prepatch for back up, and then just reduced down to one directory, and I'm still getting the same error? Any insight to this problem would be much appreciated!

[EDIT] NM !! I figured it out .

Judice · #14 06-24-2005, 09:52 AM

been at this about 30 hours straight now and still cant get it to work

i have reloaded everything several times , i can log in but im not showing my server minilogin shows one server 0 clients

and World.exe keeps giving me the same error ever few secs still cant figure out how to clear it up its

Error: DBAsyncCB_LoadVariables failed: !GetAnswer: '#1146: Table 'eq.variables' doesn't exist

it repeats that error while running ever few seconds

Trying to get this set for single player i fly out in two more days and wont have access to the net for months so really could us some help on this please please , dont know as much about PC as i should i guess :(

Aydun · #15 06-24-2005, 11:45 AM

Well I'm definately not the most intelligent but I feel for you situation. It sounds to me like it's not a matter of reloading things, It just looks like you don't have table in your EQ database. When you do all the mysql stuff do you get any errors ? ALSO you might want to look at the NAMe of your server, I think it has to be like 12 chars or over to work and if you have less than that or like 10 your server will be active but it won't show in the login screen, at least.. I had this problem earlier today, same symptoms as you. Ex. my server name was "Futility" but that wouldn't show up in the server listing ! BUT "FutilityIncarnate" did ? weird but I seem to recall something like that from earlier versions, maybe it will help..

I tried :\
