Some folks here must have noticed my posts that I got the emu working, and I have already got a message in the tradition of "well, what the heck did you do. So being the proactive "dude" that I am I decided to post what I did.
I see alot of the same posts over and over here
and the acronym RTFM comes up alot. ;-)
I think the documentation for the emu IS complete but you do have to dig a bit. So after going through and finally getting my install to work I want to leave a
trail that newbies (like me) can follow in easy steps.(A compact walkthrough doc of sorts)
I admit I am guilty of alot of posts on this forum that I think If I dug a little harder I could have found all the answers.
So I figure it would be selfish to stop posting just because my emu works ok now. The way I see it, we newbies got to try real hard to help each other out and keep the coders free to code, this will help the next release come out faster.
***and Thanks again to all for the excellent support in the forum (especially to Lurker_005 and Shawn319 and morpheus014 who have provided the guts of this walkthrough.)***


Easy steps for setting up a Standalone LOCAL server using minilogin(for this walkthrough my OS is win2000sp2):

1. Patch to the latest version of EQ, (This post July 16 2002, If a later patch has come out things may be broken
stick close to the news section of the forum for updates and information.)
WARNING: If you are already playing online see the warnings in the
forum about versions before patching, and always back up your eq directory BEFORE you patch,
because then you can always go back if somthing grenades on you.)

2. Download the latest emu code.(In this walkthrough I am using v0.3.4)
create a eqemu directory and unzip the emulator files there.

3. Download the latest mysql. (I am using 3.23.51)
install mysql and set your password. for the purpose of this walkthrough
I will use the following.
username: test
password: test

4.(NOTE: If you are repeating this step be sure to drop your old
eq database from mysql before continuing,if not keep going!)

Next go to the mysql\bin directory and run mysqladmin.exe
Once inside go to the database tab.
Right click on your hostname and select create database.
call the database eq
Now go back to the environment tab and select Hideme.
Next copy the db.sql to the mysql\bin directory
then run the mysql.exe from mysql\bin directory
In mysql type in:
use eq;
source db.sql;

DO NOT CLOSE THE DOS WINDOW UNTIL IT IS DONE SCROLLING AND YOU ARE
BACK AT A PROMPT.

5.Next modify your files found in the following locations
(Remember these files are modified assuming what I have covered in the above steps):

In the eqemu directory modify:

boot5zones.bat


@echo off
start zoneNT . localhost 7995 localhost
start zoneNT . localhost 7996 localhost
start zoneNT . localhost 7997 localhost
start zoneNT . localhost 7998 localhost
start zoneNT . localhost 7999 localhost
exit
cls



db.ini


[Database]
host=localhost
user=test
password=test
database=eq


Loginserver.ini


[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
loginserver2=localhost
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=Evertest
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=localhost

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

In the everquest directory modify:

eqhost.txt


[Registration Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}


datarate.txt


10.0


6.go to the start button and select run and type in cmd
this will open to the DOS prompt.
change directory to your eqemu directory(ex: cd eqemu)
This is the location of the world.exe file.
Type in the following:
world.exe flag eqemu 200

7.When all this is complete launch the following programs in this order:
In the eqemu directory run:
minilogin.exe
world.exe
boot5zones.bat

In the everquest directory:
eqgame.exe patchme


At this point you should be able to login with the
following GM account:
username:eqemu
password:eqemu

If you get errors or get bumped to your desktop please go back and make sure you have followed
all of the above steps carefully.


TROUBLESHOOTING - Some common issues:

1. I am getting some error about eq.eqmessages...what should I do?
Try using one of the databases posted to the forum (I would recommend lurkers DB, it rox!), and repeat
step 4 and source this file instead of the original db.sql
then go back and redo step 6 to flag your account and try logging
in again.

2. I am getting error 1002 incorrect version and I have patched to the latest version
what do I do?
Go download the latest version of the minilogin.exe located here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/eqemu/MiniLogin.exe?download

3. I can finally log into my server but I go link dead within seconds
after I log in. what do I do?
try modifying the datarate.txt in your everquest directory
make sure you changed it from 5.0 to 10.0

4. I have been through this whole document and It still wont work!!!
What do I do now?

Go to the the following link on what information to provide
BEFORE you ask a question, and post your question along with the
information documented here:
http://eqemu.sourceforge.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1736

ALSO if you are having other problems see the following post, it outlines problems that the
emu team already knows about and may not be fixed until the next release:

roger chief, I have added those changes into
the original post. :D

Lurker_005

might I suggest you put the file's content between [ code ] and [ /code ] (Spaces used so it displays in the message)

It should help the readability some. Perhaps a little use of underline or bold. The section numbers and troubleshooting title come to mind. Also I would mention at the beginning that it is for a "standalone local server using minilogin". A little wordy, but just saying localserver might nit be descriptive enough.

ednecro
07-19-2002, 04:02 AM
I did like you suggested and I think it made a huge difference (Being able to use the vb code
in postings makes this extra cool.) I added
italics(for my general blabbing) and bullet points and underlined the 2 main sections. I think its shaping up a bit.

Lurker_005
07-19-2002, 05:40 AM
Nice, Darn near profesional looking. :)

Still one thing, the file content. I meant more like this:

In the everquest directory modify:
eqhost.txt:
[Registration Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}


So that the actual content stands out from the file name and any comments. Something like that anyhow. And you pick the colors :D Not my strong point.

Now I get what you mean. I like the orange but the green was a bit hard on the eyes so I used yellow
so it sorta sticks out from the blue/grey background. Hows that look?

i'm french so my 'start' button is called 'demarrer' and beside that I was searching for it in MySQL thats why i couldnt find it ;)

Alrighty, I just found this site, signed up ( and got my account ). Went through all the steps to setting up my own personal server. (Your steps are very simple to follow) Everything works great, EXCEPT, when I try and join my server, I get a error message

"Error 1017 (I think): Tells me to re-run the patch thing, cause I lost connectivity to the server. (Or something similiar)

Any information would be helpful.

Another fails to look at stickys or use search command. As said before, we can't read your mind. You have given us as much info as to tell you to rtfm.

Its a sticky so you know its important! Wait the title is read this before you post! Omg, look what you didn't do. (Why do I bother :))

http://forums.eqemu.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1736

Doing this quote because I know you most likely will complain nothing is there.


5) If you are having 1017 errors, please provide the following information:
a) What OS (Operating System, IE: Windows 95) you are using
b) What you are connecting to (Minilogin, Publiclogin, Logging/Hosting into eqlogin.eqemu.net)
c) What EMU Version (IE: 0.3.1) you are using
d) Paste the text out of these files:
db.ini
loginserver.ini
boot5zone (or boot5zone.win9x depending on OS)
eqhost.txt (in your eq directory)
e) Load up world.exe, and Boot5zone(win9x) and copy/paste them in the post.


Or go into IRC room, people there will gladly help. (You can't use search so you will complain you can't find anything, or your helpless so here is the info to connect. irc.trifocus.net #eqemu)

Don't know what irc is? www.mirc.com

When i run the Boot5zones it says cannot find ZoneNT (or one of it's components) I have every file i know, you guys know where to get these files? I have no clue whats going on, but one thing that could be the problem this is my second time installing, i diddn't delet any files just did everything you told me, almost all thing were flawless cept once i got to the load boot5zones it bugged out on me.:mad: :mad: Got any ideas?

There is no zoneNT.exe anymore. if you started over with 0.3.6 (meaning not used ANY old files), then you wouldn't have a problem because boot5zone.bat looks for zone.exe now..

Poink
09-19-2002, 05:06 PM
Aye, I do have the latest version of emu, so i have not a clue in the world what i did wrong tryied it the second time as well but nothing happened same probelm, think i might have to reinstall? I'm all out of ideas never did find the ZoneNt files =/
Forgot to mention that i just started trying emu 2 days ago so i don't think ihave the wrong version, the reason i reinstalled was because i diddn't have a slightest clue what i was doing and messed up every now and then. Tell me if ya have anymore ideas.

Poink
09-20-2002, 10:04 AM
Ok, well i got through the ZoneNT problem now i'm having a different one, ive been through most of the readmes but they diddn't help. Now i recive the error after typing world.exe flag eqemu 200, im getting error: Access denied for user: blahblah@localhost' <using password: YES>.

Sorry for all these posts just nothing else ive read in readmes have helped..:(

check that you propperly set username, password, and DB in your db.ini file.


Then read http://forums.eqemu.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1169 if it still won't work.

2) Go to your EqEmu directory (mine is on c:\EQEmu)

3) Type this exactly:

world adduser eqemu eqemu 200

Well I got that working.
Reinstalled it all.

However now all i can get is 1017
I am running on a standalone PC. No firewall etc...

Login is fine

Select the server then up pops the message.

I had previoduly patched EQ to the latest version - dunno if that affects it.

Please help.

10-23-2002, 03:53 PM
ok if adding your user name to the world via the cmd prompt such as.

d:\eqemu\world adduser (username) (pass) 200

make sure you use all lowercase letters as it will not recognize your login letters that are Capitalized.

Such as when you goto login your name would be OsOpo

If you add that name via the cmd prompt way you would have to type it osopo

Thats what worked for me, not sure if it helps all of ye but might help some others.

Zace
10-25-2002, 08:59 PM
OK - well is it still working ?

I have all the latest patches to EQ including PoP now?

10-25-2002, 10:09 PM
Although I am new here I am going to answer: no
I did the latest install and updated db3.6 and 3.9 and nodda. Granted I am trying to setup a publiclogin not join the Emulogin servers but again I think it clearly states that if you patch you are just screwed :(

Shawn319
10-29-2002, 04:23 PM
As of 10-27 and the release of 0.3.11, the current EQ patch and all of PoP are supported.. yay!!

10-29-2002, 04:30 PM
Only bummer part is I am stuck back at the 1017 error once again for no reason this time :(

So till I can figure a way to get past that part then I can find out if I hang after creating my charecter for one comp use. Other then that there have been a few servers that are pretty fun to visit. **EDIT to add** Not sure what the real problem was. Uninstalled everything and then reinstalled it all and now I can play on my own local server once again.

For those using the new world.exe look at the following.

look here http://forums.eqemu.net/viewtopic.php?p=26918#26918

It will explain what you should do now.

They broke the commands for world.exe and you have to manually add them yourself till they fix it.


For you, you do need to grant permission to test. by doing the following:


from readme:

And if that does not help. Open mysql.exe ( found in c:\mysql\bin )
Type in: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to '%'@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '%'; (press enter)
Close out of mysql.exe



you can also do the following
Grant all privileges on *.* to 'username' Identified by 'password';

I followed your instructions perfectly, it seems everything is working fine.. no errors of any kind, but when I log in to the spot where is shows all the servers, it shows none. in the loginserver.ini I put the world name and ip and everything but still my world will not show up. :cry: any suggestions?

lunatic987
01-11-2003, 04:18 PM
did you run minilogin, then world, then boot5zones.bat then eq?

and did you set up boot5zones.bat correctly?

If you need to, in most cases you can replace localhost with 127.0.0.1 and make sure localhost is one word. it may (and probably won't) work if it is local host.

otherwise, anyone else have any ideas? lol, I removed eq until the emulator is fixed again, and the database addon is done, so that I can have the hard drive space to play other things.

I tried going to your links above for posting problems but the link did not work so here I am. Everything seems to be working fine, except when I try to flag eqemu from the command prompt. I got into my eqemu folder (c:\eqemu) but when I type the following command:
world.exe flag eqemu 200
Everything works fine until it gets to the following I get an error:
Worlf server listening on: port 9000
Error: LoginServer: :Connect: 'TCPConnection: :Connect<>: connect <> failed. Error 10061'

I am running this on a single computer with Windows 2000 Pro. with latest patches, updates and all that. This computer has over 700mb of RAM, plenty of HD space.
Thank you for taking the time to help me.
I went ahead and followed the rest of the directions but when I ran EQW (I did not know what u meant about eqgame.exe patch) when I got to the login screen my username and password eqemu did not work.

world.exe doesn't accept any arguments in 0.4.1+.

Try downloading EQAdmin and add an account "eqemu" with password "eqemu", commit the change, then change the status to 200, then commit that change.

See how you go then :)

I'm assuming you read the post, as I did, about "if you get error 1017, try this" and found that not to solve the error that you're most likely getting with minilogin. Bummer. Me too. I'm about to try something different. MOHAA just recommended I try his "best local lan setup I can make" post in the "Tutorials and how-to's" section. You might also want to read the extra bit of advice he told me in reply to my post "Does v4.2 db.sql work by itself?" in the Win32 support. Myself, I've been working on this for over a week now, about to give up. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I haven't actually reinstalled Everquest since I reinstalled Windows fresh on my computer, wiping out my old configuration (mind you, I have directx 8.1 and all my drivers updated). I'm just running EQ from the program files\Everquest folder without an official re-install. It always worked before like that, playing Eqlive or Eqemu. When you're running out of combinations of things to try, these are the kinds of things that run through your mind. More likely though, is you and I should be trying Eqemu 0.4.1 with telmet's database, like MOHAA recommended.

I have the original game cd. Is it possible to download a patch so that I don't need to connect to the EQ Servers to update?

Having a smalll problem when I run world.exe ... everything else is working fine...

after running minilogin.exe I get then world.exe I get:

.......
Loading EQ time of day..."./eqtime.cfg" is NOT a valid EQTime file. File version is 0; EQTime version is 1000 - failed.
Deleted 0 stale player corpses from database.
Breaking bards...done
TCP listening on: localhost: 9000
Connected to LoginServer: localhost:5999
Login server responded with FatalError. Disabling reconnect.
Error Message: 'Incorrect version'
<IP>:5999 TCPConnection::RecvData<>: Error: 10053

The <IP> obviously is my IP, just didnt include it in the coding..

Any ideas on what is going wrong here? I am running EQEmu 0.4.3 and I am pretty sure all my files up to date.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've had to modify a few things he told us to do, cause they weren't working.. IE: Right click on my name is databases and create one called EQ.. I found out how to do that, but got stuck a few other times...

Could someone AIM me? dtKurbytb. thank you!

Hello, I recently tried to make my own server, but i am running into one problem...MYSQL, doesn't work. I followed sticky's easy server thing on the forum, did everything it says to do. The problem is everytime I download it, I open it then it just shutsdown. So what i did was remove it then redownloaded from another source from the same site, and still it keep heppening.

If anyone has any suggestions please e-mail me at Sikrna@yahoo.com :D

Is your EQ english or French or Spanish or German? If it's not the english one, you're in Scheisstown.
