Errors Launching Server

[Lighted Shadows]

I can't even see if I can login to my own server as I don't have a box set of DoV.
Don't spose current live Client can be patched to work? Otherwise I am waiting 3-5 days for Amazon to deliver my DoV box.

Anyhow compiled a server and set up DB and whats not getting a missing spell error and some errors reguarding quests is this normal dueto the state of the project?

Code: Select all

00:34:31 E LUA: Error loading cannot open Spells/Commoner/Knockdown.lua: No such file or directory (file name: 'Spells/Commoner/Knockdown.lua')

I looked and Knockdown.lua is missing from Spells/Commoner/ I cant seam to locate it any place in SVN pulls to add it to my server apells folder

Code: Select all

00:34:34 I Quests: Loading Quests...
00:34:34 E LUA: Error processing Quest: Quests/FrostfangSea/tutorial_forging_ahead.lua:16: attempt to call global 'AddQuestStepCraft' (a nil value)
00:34:34 E LUA: Error processing Quest: Quests/FrostfangSea/tutorial_countering_problems.lua:16: attempt to call global 'AddQuestStepCraft' (a nil value)
00:34:34 E LUA: Error processing Quest: Quests/FrostfangSea/tutorial_learning_to_cook.lua:16: attempt to call global 'AddQuestStepCraft' (a nil value)
00:34:34 E LUA: Error processing Quest: Quests/FrostfangSea/tutorial_the_art_of_weapons.lua:16: attempt to call global 'AddQuestStepCraft' (a nil value)
00:34:34 E LUA: Error processing Quest: Quests/FrostfangSea/tutorial_scribing_scrolls.lua:16: attempt to call global 'AddQuestStepCraft' (a nil value)

00:34:34 E LUA: Error processing Quest: ...uests/FrostfangSea/tutorial_essential_outfitting.lua:15: attempt to call global 'AddQuestStepCraft' (a nil value)

From tutorial tutorial_forging_ahead.lua

Code: Select all

function Init(Quest)
	SetQuestFeatherColor(Quest, 2)
	AddQuestStepCraft(Quest, 1, "I need to create a simple candelabra using the recipe the tutor gave me.", 1, 100, "I must follow the tutor's instructions to create a simple candelabra.", 189, 64876)
	AddQuestStepCompleteAction(Quest, 1, "CraftedCandelabra")
end

I assume all these are related to something I missed or that dont work as they all error on 'AddQuestStepCraft'

Are you using a server pack? If so that is the issue with AddQuestStepCraft as it is fairly new function and you will need the exe's from the source svn or compile your own. As for knockdown.lua that is our fault, just checked content svn and that file does not exist. Also these errors should not prevent you from getting into the world, those quests/spells just won't work.

I also believe live client actually works, mostly, if you have the structs from live. DoV and CoE are the most stable clients though.

Welcome to the emu, if you have any more questions don't be afraid to ask and we will do our best to answer.

Yup everything Jab said. Live client will work (as of now...new xpac coming soon)

Really good alternative while I wait for Amazon just have to DL the 14gig install as my current live client is on streaming and I never finished getting all the content download. I will try the setup in 13 more gigs. My luck that will be the part I can't figure out.

And BTW I did use the exe off the current SVN instead of the rebuild due to errors a forum search returned a thread directing to the new exe. hope it all works.

[Jabantiz]

exe's on svn must be out of date as well. I can't currently commit any as of local code changes I have made. Hopefully another dev can commit some and attach them to this post or pm them to you (Dev's commit to a private svn that gets synced to the public once a week, that is why one of us will need to send them to you)

[thefoof]

Yeah I'll compile some new exe's no problem..I can pm one to you or you can wait and they will be updated tomorrow I believe, either way.

[Lighted Shadows]

I compiled my own x86 and x64 both way and tried useing the one you sent me still same errors come up. No big deal atm as I am still waiting for a full client to get to my door//and or// download to finish.

Weird, no reason you should be getting errors about the AddQuestStepCraft function with that exe, the nil value error you see typically comes when a function isn't defined and you try to call it from script, and that one clearly is in the code *shrug* anyway the errors are harmless the quests mentioned just won't work correctly.

[Lighted Shadows]

/shrug got me only thing I can guess is it is something else other than my build or the one you sent. I could have the wrong quest file or something in the Dbase. I did have trouble installing the database.SQL as it would get to a point and error out a lot. So I manually ran each individual .sql from \trunk\database\dumps\eq2_data then I was able to shoehorn the Dbase to insert all the row data.

I am no coder but want my own server eventually. My game friends love my EQEmu server and bug me all the time about an EQ2 server.
Best I can do for you folks is Play on your server and build servers following your guides to see if meat heads like me can actually do it.

Perhaps I need to update the ServerPack...
