Setting up 6.1dr1+minilogin

[JrFaust]

I've been trying and trying again to get my server up.
Finally I got my client and server to match up.
I logged in selected my server.
Choose all my options for my new character.
Went to connect... Long pause "Server not responding" "You have been disconnected"

Bummer.

I used the 6.1dr1+minilogin tut but zone.exe was not there so (I

Sometimes even a good working server will not respond when making a new toon..You might want to try to log in again and select your new toon.
You can get a package here.

Try it without perl..I havent been able to get perl straight yet..Big trouble with that for me at this time...

Also you need mysql front if you arent using it yet..It makes it alot easier to see your DB..Fow minilogin I think you need to set minilogin no ip password or something..I dont use it..I just changed my server to standalone using mysql front..You can also try the Database that came with the 6.2 tutorial..It works like a charm! No luclin but you can work on a new Database after your server is working like Im doing now..I just run my server from the same folder
it was in..I have more than one server folder(like 4 or 5 now)in my c:/eqemu
folder.

That is the only error message I can find might this have any thing to do with the server not responding and disconnecting me. The other thing is that I have two characters on my server both made on one account and both characters show in my two login accounts, what's up with that?

Thanks Dr. Zauis for the info but I've yet to find the 6.1 tut, I'll look some more. I don't think I'm using perl even though I have active perl installed cause the tut said to.

Oh I hope my server is ok to run this software I saw some ware that 1.3ghz is the min.
Mine is a Dell 2400 Dual PIII 1Ghz CPU, 512mb RAM, and two 18GB SCSIs in a mirror raid running Windows Server 2003 standard.

Thanks for any help

Oh sorry hate to double post, but is there any way to upgrade a server setup to a newer version.

For example installing cavedudes setup then upgrade the 6.0 server to 6.1dr1.

If thats posible maybe I should wipe and reload the server setup.

I think those errors are OK..The bad one is unable to convert zone not available to emu opcode or something..That will boot ya for sure..
Well..To NOT run perl you will start boot5zones..Not boot5zonesperl.

Your computer seems good unuff..

To upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1 Idont know about..I guess that would take a 6.0
folder(The folder that houses world.exe/zone.exe/ect..)and a database update. But Im telling you now. The database you can DL on the 6.2 tutorial
will work on 6.1 and there is no sourcing to do. I just spent all day yesterday
trying to make a database from the 6.1 minilogin tut and it dont work for me.
LOL..The way Im changing my database it to rename it! Sometimes it wont let me if I have just used mysql front. LOL I just restart my comp then.

So..In short this is how I got my server going. I first did the 6.1DR2 tut. Found out I was not compatible. I then DLed the 6.1DR1 non perl version from the link I gave..I did nothing but changed the loginserver config and
db config. I set my server to standalone using msql front.
that was it!

EDIT>>Maybe those errors do mean something..I dont seem to get them except maybe an unknown opcode once in awhile..Maybe someone who knows more can help. All Im really trying to say is I know for a fact that the DB from the 6.1DR2 tut works great. At least you can be sure of that if you use it for now. If I had tried to source my own DB I would have failed in my server attempt. That DB saved me. At least I know my server works.

Last post of the night this is a fresh install via 6.1-dr2 tut with a paste over of 6.1-dr1 files and the opcode file from minilogin6.1. I tried the opcode I think it was from the 6.1-dr1 files (non-perl) and world would start but I couldn't connect with my client. Any who it's looking like the opcode file is killing me, any ideas?

This was what was in the World cmd window.

Well Im stumped! It should have worked smooth as butter. I mean by all this time you should have got something to work..Are you sure you have a 6.1DR1 client? Have you been playing on PEQ back before it went live? Imean when I was trying to log into my 6.1DR2 server and I was not compatible I would get this same error. Received unknown opcode: 0x0000 size:0 bytes.

[JrFaust]

Yeah actually that

[Dr Zauis]

Oh Hey..I did notice I have the same error Received unknown opcode: 0x0000 size:0 bytes. On my working server. So that error must not mean anything. Im running on the same PC right now. Im just getting ready to run on a separate comp later. I dont think you could get into mine even if it was open cause I got everything set to localhost here. So Im assuming I can only log in anyway. Im not that experienced with Networking and this is the game to help me learn that I guess.

Anyway Good Luck.

[JrFaust]

Well I got it running on my PC and not my server, man I still don't know if I messed things up or if the software was messed up but it's running. I kept getting missing minilogin variable even though I know I set it up (tryed 3 times) so I started again.

I ran cavedude's install but the DB wouldn't install, but after a few tries it installs but it's messed up has a few errors and makes my client crash.

So I over write the server files with 6.1-DR1 and minilogin 6.1 and replace the DB with 6.1-DR2 and bam I'm in running around...

/em <Eric Cartman voice> Sweeeet!

But I zone to POK and crash the client ummm bummer, anyone know why that might be?

Oh and how might I get a hold of a DB that is say more complete?
Do we need pearl to have quests working?
Because it'd be nice to have the NPC respond to Hails and things.

Thanks for the help Dr. Zauis

[Dr Zauis]

I know that if I have my server set to minilogin and I try to zone it wont do it. Im not doing anything with minilogin password either. Also even when I set to public everthing works great but sometimes I get a zone unavailable error and server will not respond. Im camping in tutorial zone all the time now. It always works from there.
I cant tell you how to get Cavedudes DB to work..LOL I dont even want to say this but I have been using mysqlfront to source it in. And then replacing the files into the 6.1DR2 database. It worked great but something is wrong with the pathing on the levels below luclin expansion. If I anything about this stuff I would probably laugh at myself.
Im having big trouble with perl. Everything works OK with the 6.1DR2 DataBase but if I try to hail someone that have no respsonse as default the zone crash. I have alot to learn yet..If anyone could provide a complete DB with luclin it would save me alot of time learning the basics LOL.
