Debian Wiki Updates/Tweaks
 

Howdy.
http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?EQEmu_o..._6_VM&frm=Main
This topic above, here's my notes about it.

I used debian-7.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso

----compile EQEMU section---
cmake is now used instead of just make, so these steps are added:
apt-get install cmake
cmake .
make

---Grabbing the sources--
remove these (deprecated):
svn co http://projecteqdb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/peqdatabase peq
svn co http://projecteqquests.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/quests quests

they're now https://drive.google.com/folderview?...p=sharing#list


copying and linking files:

on the change to server dir, copy and create links steps:
cp ../source/utils/patches/patch_* ./
cp ../source/utils/patches/opcodes.conf ./

This is a personal preference, so if you recompile it backs up old and copies new. cleanipc and a lot of commands aren't properly noted here, but can be. (You need to copy the files from ~/eq/source/Bin/* over to your ~/eq/server/ dir.
~/eq/server/$
nano sync.sh
Database Setup no longer has a peqdb_rev.sql_gz, the source noted has a readme DO NOT USE THIS DB
instead, copied from the readme.txt
-----------
create database whatever_db_name_you_want;
use whatever_db_name_you_made;
source peqbeta_blahblah.sql;
source player_tables_blahblah.sql;

(OPTIONAL) source load_login.sql;
(OPTIONAL) source load_bots.sql;

copy eqtime.cfg over to the directory where your server binaries live.

If you plan on using the public EQEmu login server, then sourcing load_login.sql is not necessary.
If you wish to use a local login, you can login using Admin and the password "password". You can also look in load_login.sql to see how to add your own users manually.

-----------------

Then run:
mysql -u root -p peq < peqbeta*.sql
mysql -u root -p peq < player_tables_*.sql

cp ~/eq/peq/eqtime.cfg ~/eq/server/

EQEMU setup--
the mv eqemu_config.xml.bak command doesn't do anything. No source/destination. I think it wants:
mv eqemu_config.xml eqemu_config.xml.bak


Create your server start and stop files---

instead of the mess of shell scripts, I normally install gnu screen or tmux or whatever. I adjust tmux personally with this https://gist.github.com/andreyvit/2921703 so it feels like screen. and do a series of C+a c C+a , and call them eqlaunch, world, whatever you launch.

eqconfig needs login.eqemulator.net 5998 as well

I think that's about it.

Shin,

Would you like a Wiki user to update the page yourself?

Thanks,
-Akka

This will be extremely helpful! I have recently been trying to revive my old linux server, and so much is different. Thank you,

I suppose I could do that Akkadius. I tried originally and noticed it was locked except for wiki members, figured I'd write self notes/tell you guys to do it than go through process of applying.

Thanks.

I look forward to seeing it all together, because I don't know what this means... I can navigate to that site in windows and download the files, but I don't know how to grab them directly from the command line in Linux. The link you posted doesn't seem to be enough.

Sent in a PM Shin.

Thank you so much for getting the Debian install up to date.

This was needed badly.

Also, bonus points for anyone who gets a Debian VM setup and then lets me download it from them so I can host it on our Wiki for an instant sandbox.

That would be awesome! My only hesitation is that the knowledge that it takes to set up a server is also required to update it. If I could just come here and download the VMDK file, I would probably have no idea how to edit and update it.

Replied to your PM with a virtualbox install package, akkadius. I'm working on a new page for the tutorial instead of editing the old one. (With videos).
http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?EQEmu_o...n_7_Virtualbox

My new tutorial shows how I do this, since wget isn't friendly in cli with google's downloading. (I just use filezilla for easy scp)

I setup webmin and moved the files that way simply because it's what I know.

The videos are great! Thank you for the update. I will try to run through this setup tomorrow to see how it goes. My only differences will be that I am using Vmware Workstation 10, and I am more accustom to using vi for editing.

I finished my wiki article, now I'll go and edit the original one as soon as I find time. :)

I am very impressed and thankful to you for doing this. I am about half way through and everything is working great. I gave the idea of hosting a complete image some more thought, and I just don't know... It would be difficult to keep that image updated and very hard for someone with no linux experience to just start owning it.

Meh, I can give guidance to a linux noob on how to maintain stuff. I'm just too lazy to do all the upkeep myself. :P

I've just about got it, but still have a couple things not going well. The LibEMuShare file is in the server directory...
