World.exe is dropping the client... I think

[chozsun]

I can login (authincating to the gofrag servers), choose my server and hit 'Play EverQuest'. I can also create character.

When I load into the South Qeynos zone, I get this in the Zone.exe:

Using database 'eq' at localhost
Loading items & NPCs...done.
SPDat not found ('spdat.eff'), spells not loaded.
Loading guild ranks...done.
Connected to worldserver: 65.69.191.97:9000
Entering sleep mode
Map: Maps\qeynos.map not found.

Zone server 'qeynos' listening on port:9005

Message:Zone bootup: South Qeynos
New client from ip: 192.168.1.10 port:3478
Login packet 1

Client dropped: GetAuthentication = 0, n=Eani
Dropping client: Process=false, ip=192.168.1.10, port=3478
Automatic shutdown
Message:----SERVER SHUTDOWN----
Zone shutdown: going to sleep

Then I get this in the World.exe:

Name approval request for:Eani race:5 class:3
Char create:Eani
161003 Unkown opcode:13601 size:2056
161999 Unkown opcode:14625 size:2056

Zoneserver SetZone: 192.168.1.10:9005 qeynos
Client disconnected
Removing client from ip:192.168.1.1 port:3472

As you can see, I will be kicked back to the server select page (or if in EQW, kicked out of the program). The disconnect on the World.exe and Zone.exe will happen almost immediately after I hit 'Enter World'.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm assuming you have a router between your EQ server and the internet? The problem is that when you log into world, you're comming from your external IP address, but when you log into zone you're comming from your internal IP address. Since they arent the same, zone doesnt belive you're the same person.

Either use your external IP address when running zone.exe or use hostnames (in loginserver.ini and on the zone command line) so you always are seen from the same IP.

Just noticed it also looks like you havent copied your SPDAT.eff in everyquest to the emu dir. You should do that.

Works like a charm.

Now all I need is for my server to recognize me as the ServerOP. I believe all I need to do is change my status to 200.

that would be correct =)
