HOWTO: Host a 6.0 Server on Windows (Perl Quests enabled!!)

[Chrysm]

Ok, I followed this guide and it still did not work... when I made the char and tried to enter world, it dropped me.

Here is what I did to fix:
(this assumes you have fresh database etc and are starting from scratch)

Install the eqemu 6.0-DR1
Modify your files etc as stated before
now for the database part of it


source all this stuff
(don't forget use eq
Step 1. Download ProjectEQ's 5.8 Classic database from http://www.projecteq.net
Step 2. Source that file into your database.
Step 3. http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/aa_levels.sql
Step 4. http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/altadv_vars.sql
Step 5. http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/wr_update.sql
Step 6. http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/aa_actions.sql
Step 7. http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/aa_swarmpets.sql
Step 8. http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/fishing.sql
Step 9. http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/timers.sql
Step 10. http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/traps.sql
Step 11. ALTER TABLE items ADD attuneable tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0';

Step 12. ALTER TABLE items CHANGE 'unknown008' 'SpellCharges' INT(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;

If you are using minilogin source this

Step 13. INSERT INTO variables (varname, value, information) VALUES ('LoginType', 'Minilogin', 'Set this to Minilogin to login using a minilogin server ');

Step 14. alter table account add minilogin_ip varchar(32) not null;

Step 15. insert into account (name,status, minilogin_ip) values('THE_NAME_YOU_USE_TO_LOG_IN', 250, 'IP_OF_COMP_RUNNING_EQ');

Ok, now to enable the expansions:

Step 16. update variables set value=255 where varname like 'expansions';

Don't worry about errors saying something already exists, at least you know it's there heh... better than missing something.

Ok, so what I did was start minilogin, world.exe and wait for it to say connected to login server 127.0.0.1:5999, then boot5zone.bat ... Here is where I tried to log in early and kept getting error 1017... you have to wait for all 5 zones to go into sleep mode... then you can log in. Log in make your char AND MAKE SURE NOT TO SELECT TUTORIAL!! Uncheck that or you will freeze up and have to reboot and start the minlogin etc over again.

Make your char log in, and enjoy
