all zones unavailable...

[Kintar0]

So I got most things working. I can log onto my server and create a char, but when I log in, it says zone unavailable. From what I gather while searching and reading, the prob may be (from world.exe):

Error 1054: Unknown column unknown008

I've tried (as many other post's suggset):

ALTER TABLE item CHANGE `unknown008` `SpellCharges` INT(11) DEFAULT "0" NOT NULL;

But all I get is, Error 1054: Unknown column `unknown008` in `items`

The code above seems to fix it for everyone but I just get more errors. I'm using the PEQ Kunark Release package if that helps any. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks.

[Kintar0]

anyone?

the unavailable zone error is just because sometimes the zone server can't keep up and u have to try again.

all you have to do , is keep trying to enter the world after it tells u the zone is unavailable and it'll work.

Ok so does the unknown008 effect my gameplay? I did try a few times on multiple zones and couldn't get in. I hope that's the case.

[Darkened]

you have to make the change from unknown008 to SpellCharges yeah , your just entering the query incorrectly as far as i can tell.

as i said in my original post, i TRIED that. i get the error, Error 1054: Unknown column `unknown008` in `items`

I get that when I try to change it to spellcharges. Now what?

dont mean to change topic, i had the zones not available problem too.
and yes it was my zone.exe lagging behind. but when i try to log onto my server, i always go ld, everything loads perfectly though.

Okay, two things--- if you go LD on zone into the game, it's possible that you have a database problem.

Now, for the guy above, omit all single quotes. So your SQL query should look something like:

ALTER TABLE item CHANGE unknown008 SpellCharges INT(11) DEFAULT "0" NOT NULL;

I know it may not seem like a lot, but that's how I have had to input every query to get it to work.

If that doesn't help, redownload the Kunark Database (Full version, not to add to pre-existing) and source an entirely new database.
