My own login server needed?

gottasummer · #1 05-20-2005, 11:55 PM

Hello,
I am a bit confused.

It seems like Scorpious 2k and Winters Roar both have their own login servers.

How is this possible?

I want to run a server similar to Winters Roar, but I can't get a login server to connect to.

What login server you connect to depends on what server code you are trying to run. If you will supply us with a few more details maybe somebody can point you in the right direction.

I have the 6.0 DR-2.

I have the client that can connect to eqemulator.net:5998

My server is set to connect to eqemulator.net:5998

It seems like it should work, but I do not see ANYTHING that says it is even connected to login server... and it does not show up.

I ran a 5.3 server a while ago, and I liked it where you didnt need to reg the server... this is taking so long to get it up, and there are hardly any servers (like a total of 4)

I guess it is an error in DR2... I am now using DR1 and it APPEARS to be working.

Yes you can easy find in this forum

0.6.0 DR2 (login server= newlogin1.eqemulator.net:5994).
0.6.1 DR1 (login server= newlogin1.eqemulator.net:599

.

That's not hard

Ok... port 5994 was not working well for me on EQ client side... did not connect properly... and the server did not register correctly.

Eqemulator LS is instable sometimes.
If you have a problem with a port check your (router/firewall).
I can't help you more.

How does Rinters Roar and Scorpious2k get their own login servers then?

Belfedia · #9 05-23-2005, 04:36 AM

LS source and compiled are not release.
I don't know why, i haven't ear good reason.
I think this server have devs of eqemu in staff.
That help for have this feature.

Oh.

Maybe they reverse engineered the minilogin (just a guess, I have made some software "patches" in the past for certain "trial software applications" by disassembeling and debugging the app).

Maybe they got the breakpoint correct in minilogin, took the ASM code and then translated it into a more suitable programming language, and got it to work.

Belfedia · #11 05-23-2005, 11:18 AM

That the second possibility but i don't think it was the right

If you can make that, don't forget to tell me if you succeeded !
I am very interested

Well, if you have a client that can connect to 5998 then you will need to be on 0.6.1-dr1 or higher (depending on your client).

If you are running 0.6.0-dr2 then you need a client that can connect to the login server on 5994.

You can't mix them.

Scorp doesn't have his own, but he's the only server on 0.5.7-DR6.

WR does now have there own as it's the old-old login server and they are the only ones on that version so we migrated it to them.
