Quests not working

Utau · #1 09-30-2008, 08:14 PM

Hi guys .. I've searched and searched and not found a solution to my problem.

I have installed my own server and everything works fine as far as I can tell except quests.

I have perl 5.8.4 installed as from the searches this looked like the most accepted version. I have inserted the 4 files into my \plugins directory (for the record that folder was empty and i thought that would do the trick) but didnt.

I get no response from any npc when hailing or using "known" text that triggers the event for the quest.

I am a programmer and am very familiar with sql .. not so much with perl (vb background) .. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Should also mention that I am using Cavedudes PEQ database and have installed his latest version and the latest version of the emulator.

Thanks again

Make sure your quest folders/files are in eqemu/quests and the plugins are in eqemu/plugins.

Yes I failed to mention that I have verified that as well .. everything is where it should be.

Is this where you tell me i must have screwed something up because everything has been covered?

No, this is where we start getting more specific

Have you verified that the NPC you are trying to hail actually has a quest file in the eqemu/quests/zoneshortname directory? The file should be named after the NPC name. If there isn't a quest file, then that is your problem.
