How to play 5.2 with Minilogin

[Tertiary]

If you have 5.3DR1 this is no longer required



First, you need the source (5.2 emu source, not the minilogin source)

In world/client.cpp, find:

cout << "Logged in: Local: " << name << endl;
}

if (!cle)
break;
cle->SetIP(GetIP());


Immediately after this, paste in:

APPLAYER* outapp;
if (firstlogin)
{
// Send OPCode: OP_LogServer
outapp = new APPLAYER(OP_LogServer, sizeof(LogServer_Struct));
QueuePacket(outapp);
delete outapp;
}
// Send OPCode: OP_GuildsList
SendGuildList();
SendApproveWorld();

Recompile and enjoy.[/b]

Tertiary YOU ARE GOD for the day

sorry trump youll be returned to top standing tommorow


Thank you

Fix works perfectly

running tcsmoving for 51 52 and sourced in the 5.2-Update that came with the release binaries

I ran for 3 hours no crashes with minilogin

PS your eqhost file should look like this

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

notice the ports 5999 not 5997

[SirCarcass]

Would it be possible to get this added to the official binary?

PS your eqhost file should look like this

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

notice the ports 5999 not 5997

AFAIK it depends on what ServerPort is set to under the [LoginConfig] block in LoginServer.ini. I have ServerPort=5997 and use 5997 in my eqhost.txt with no problems. Anyway, glad to hear you got it to work :)

EDIT: I also have loginport=5997 under the [LoginServer] block.

[Wumpas]

thank you for the info tertiary I didnt put it together that I could use 5997 and your fix worked flawlessly I thank you for that again and I will say thanks to you every night :D my roomate wasn't keen on me setting up his pc as my server hehehe

edited changing "i"'s to "I"s (I always forget to caps those)

I cannot figure out what i do wrong here..

Did you compile all 3 after that fix? ie. the DLL and zone.exe as well? or only world.exe and replace that?

No matter what i do, or what db i use, i cannot create a human monk, and start it in the starting zone.. Qeynos crashes zone.exe, and freeport crashes zone.exe ...

I have tested to create most races (halflings, gnomes, ogres, humans, highelves++) and it seem the ONLY starting zone working for me is for frogloks in gukta.. I can then zone that character to bazaar.. if i try to zone to freeport or umbral or whatever.. zone.exe crashes again.

I use the MW_051_052_alpha1.zip and sourced the 0.5.2-update.sql that came with the binaries. I recompiled world.exe with the above mentioned fix, and replaced world.exe (and thus were able to actually create characters as oposed to the 1017 error i got with the precompiled binaries).

So.. Where do i go wrong? I am totally lost here.. I also tried the "0.5.2" db posted under world building (dont remember what thread.. but was some "combine" of different databases with the 0.5.2 fix).

NONE of them work with other than a froglok in the starting zone.. and thats IT.. Aaargh..

PS. I use VS 6.0 to compile under WinXP, as "Release" compile.

[Wumpas]

From what you described this is purely a database problem

zones Ive tried are halas, freeport, north qeynos, everfrost, and black burrow Qeynos hills crashed..

(understandable it was running 4 hours before I tried zoning in and I was in high lag from executing every gnoll in blackburrow.)

If you can get to any zones you did the world fix corectly.

This is a database error and I would sit tight and wait for TCSMyworld to release a database for 5.2 He usualy does in short order of an update Im going to tinker around a bit more ive just resently started dabling with the database. If I can find a way to make everything work ill post it.

these are the exact databases you need to source

MW_051_052_alpha1.sql
0.5.2-Update.sql

Those are it and freeport qeynos work fine for me a little laggy but I was able to enter them.

Please be sure you were using the corect databases TCS has put out quite alot and his filenaming system makes everyone look very similar. beond that i would just watch the world building forum and development forum for any updates/fixes.

Hope this helped.

Anyway someone could post the binary for this?

:D
Just replace world.exe with this
have fun!

[kathgar]

Fixed in our sources

[D_Skywalk]

Please anyone may upload one more time WORLD.EXE?

thanks, thanks a lots :D

[marakeen]

one that AK1122 uploaded didn't work for me=(

I have tested this update a few different ways.

Way 1: I tried to host on a seperate pc other than the one i play eqmu on. It would not let me connect.

way 2: I I host the world and zones on the same pc as I am going to play on this update works. =)

[Tertiary]

one that AK1122 uploaded didn't work for me=(

I get 'You are not authorized to view this page' when I click on AK1122's link ... just a heads up for him. Anyway, Kathgar says this is fixed in the source, so Minilogin should hopefully work again in the next release without the need for any modifications, but it was fun playing with WinDiff and working out why it was broken 8)

Thanks Kathgar :)

[marakeen]

nevermind, ak's world.exe works!

i forgot to put this in after reinstalling the db! INSERT INTO account SET name='eqemu', password='eqemu', status=200;

[Aggie1]

Hey that's great!! Congrats on some fine work! I recently picked this up again and everything installed flawlessly except i got that 1017. This has to be the problem. I'm using the 5.2 eqemu and all loads fine and clean.

Question: You mention at the top that if we use the 5.3dr1 we no longer need to do this compile. For those of us who are not as gifted programmers (read not-at-all) and don't own compiling software would it be possible for someone to load the actual World.exe file out for us to use?

I tried AK1122's world.exe and then like doof realized it was not a valid win32 file (binaries). Is it possible to get a working win32 version of world.exe anywhere? I've searched and the only file keeps coming up Ak1122's. I can reset my dbs and all if I had a copy of World.exe that worked with minilogin. Ya'll are fantastic and great info and help in these threads. I got it working flawlessly through 3 other errors up to the 1017 error with only the search command in these forums. Woot!

Thanks in advance!

Thank you, thank you! *bows down before tertiary and AK1122*


I tried AK1122's world.exe and then like doof realized it was not a valid win32 file (binaries).


It's a valid DOS executable file, however the server is very unstable, and the only way to get it is to copy the link and paste it into a good download manager (I used getright myself).

If it's OK with everyone I can upload the file to a more stable server until 5.3 gets released.

[Aggie1]

I'll try again with a download manager, however, if it is cool to rehost this that'd be great. I'll keep an eye on the thread for confirmation. Thanks!
