After a few days of a break trying to become a little more familiar with working with mySQL(been a while since the class) I feel like I have enough of a handle on it to move on to "trying" to help out with debugging the errors I get when trying to play.

First a question about my server. I installed The Shadow Odyssey and my CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION: EQ2Emu 0.6.5 Developer Alpha. Is that correct? I thougth I read that anything up to but not including Sentinal's Fate is good, but I could be mistaken.

Second question is where do I find these files E:\dev\eq2\fileshere ? In my alertlog all my problems originate from files from this location but I can not find these files. I do not have a folder on my PC E:\dev\eq2 or even a E:\dev folder. I'm confused???

I have a small amount of experience with C++...a very small amount. My experience is creating an Overtime Pay calculator in class which was rediculously easy. My problem seems to be finding the files themselves. I believe that once I find the code I can follow the code and check it but as embarrasing as it is to admit, I can not locate it. I have never broken code down before only created from the start and added a few things here.

Anyways, here is where I am stuck. Unable to locate the files and folders of E:\dev\. I have crashed trying to load toons into Qeynos(Queen's Colony), Freeport(Outpost of the Overlord), Neriak(Darklight Woods), and after a few seconds of Timous Deep.

I have been succesfull at least getting into the game and moving around a bit from Greater Faydark. I have been able to get in from changing the zone inside the characters table in the database for my toon but I run inot different bugs from there (dragging and dropping abilites from the book, using GM commands to zone to qeynosguild2, and others I have written down).

All errors seem to originate from the E:\dev\suchandsuch.cpp.

Any help to move me along or point me in the right direction would be appreciated. Until then I will keep up the hunt for this elusive E:\dev directory.

Thanks
Jason (Trinity Server)

**Ok after typing this I think I am just going to reinstall the client and check to make sure I didn't get a bad install. Since I have had the ame problem when I created toons on the other servers as well (expect for TessEQ2 which wouldn't let me log in).

That path you are seeing is what SOE uses for their development, not the EMU.

Usually those errors you are seeing is because of a mismatched client...it can't find some of its assets from a file that is in the PAKS folder. You can safely delete the alertlog.txt file(s).

Ok, I thought I was going crazy here because I have an E: drive that I was originally using for the client and thought I missed something

Well, looks like I'll have to keep hunting for the contant crashes lol. I have been messing around with and I've had the most success in an empty Antonica, which lasted about 10 minutes or so before the crash.

You were right about the mismatched client. I've been looking around for about and hour trying to figure out if I did something wrong during the installation lol.
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
