Connecting to Localhost

[Hedley]

Ok, in the Windows_install_manual.txt it says delete the eqmain.dll file and remove the loginserver file.... ok, did that. Run eqw and it says, "Eqmain.dll is missing, repatch everquest." um... how do i start everquest without eqmain.dll being there? EQW won't do it and i wanted to connect to my computer. Also, do i just put localhost in the boot5? thnx

The new versions of EQEmu do not require you to delete any dll's anymore. You can put localhost in the boot5.bat file. Heres how mine looks..

@echo off
start zone9x . 127.0.0.1 9001 127.0.0.1
start zone9x . 127.0.0.1 9002 127.0.0.1
start zone9x . 127.0.0.1 9003 127.0.0.1
start zone9x . 127.0.0.1 9004 127.0.0.1
start zone9x . 127.0.0.1 9005 127.0.0.1
exit
cls



127.0.0.1 is the loopback interface (also known as localhost).

Just so you know, if you are patched to live EQ, 2.3 will not work for you, the last patch broke it. The next version should correct this issue.
