[AcidBurn]

[mattmeck]

NOTHING DONT COMPILE IT....


USE THE PRE COMPILED BINARIES!!!!!

[AcidBurn]

So there are precompiled binaries of eqemu 0.5.3DR2? if so i havent seen them at all :cry:
i dont mean to sound retarded or anything just ive been looking for the past few days on how to compile 5.3 and getiing friends to look over it and try and help out they are clueless as well. maybe point me in the right direction of precompiled binaries.

Guess I missunderstood those 2 lines /shrug

[mattmeck]

you dont there precompiled, meaning

pre-
pref.

a. Earlier; before; prior to: prehistoric.
b. Preparatory; preliminary: premedical.
c. In advance: prepay.




compile

v 1: get together [syn: collect, accumulate, pile up, amass, hoard] 2: put together out of existing material; "compile a list" [syn: compose] 3: use a computer program to translate source code written in a particular programming language into computer-readable machine code that can be executed

so precompiled means its already compiled for you.

[mattmeck]

that was in responce to AcidBurn asking how to compile the precompiled binaries which he deleted after I posted my responce FYI,

[Rogean]

hmm, how DO you compile precompiled binaries? /boggle

Anyways, this guy should be banned for sheer stupidity, not reading anything, and plus i bet he just wants to play, not set up a server. oh well, /sigh. They never learn...

[AcidBurn]

ok i had DL the wrong one and they wernt compiled i am sorry for the confusion i got it all to work now when i log on to EQ it gives me the server select screen then i select enter on the server and it loads and get finished loading then dissapears. any ideas

Are you just trying to play?

[AcidBurn]

yea im just trying to set it up on the same comp im goign to log on to it with i got minilogin to work and everything seems good, but it will only be for me to play no one else will log on.

[Rogean]

Try using public login servers, minilogin is unsupported.

[AcidBurn]

i tried public login i get an error every time, but would it be minilogin that is stoping my from geting to the character select screen ?

[AcidBurn]

Were can i get the newest release of public login seems i have a old one atm when i run the world.exe i get a incorrect version error.

Acidburn, you seem to have gotten some wrong or pre concieved notions about installing and running EQEmu. I would suggest taking a step back and reading the following posts.


Compiling binaries (http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9648) Note the first part in read and bold!

Setting up a server (http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11423)

Both seem quite well written to me and should not need much, if any aditional information to get someone started. More or less if you still have problems, then you most likely do not have the required knowledge or skill with computers, software and networking. Go learn more about computers and software in general.

[flyonthewall]

I will never get tired of refering this for my own sheer stupidity, and lack of socialism. I see where you want to run a server for yourself and no one else.

My Setup

Personal Server (http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12406)

This is what i did to run a completely local server with no strings attached. Works great for me, sorta, missing a couple things that the big servers on eqemu login have like most of the current bugs worked out. I have found a solution to the being alone part. I start up two characters and talk to my self :)

Good luck which ever method you choose to follow, both allow you to run the greatest program the world has ever seen, next to PONG of course!

ok i went over all files and they all seem to be correct, when i run publiclogin this is what it gives me:
Using database 'login' at localhost

then once that ic open i run World.exe and i get this:

i dont think i have a older version of public login, will i need to patch EQ with live maybe ? i have no clue why i get that error everything else seems to be fine. only thing i get wrong when i use minilogin is that once it is loading from the server select screen to the chatacter select screen it finishes loading then i get a black screen like the character select screen is about to pop up then bam is dissapears.

ok i went over all files and they all seem to be correct, when i run publiclogin this is what it gives me:


Woah! hit the brakes!

The last release of publiclogin only worked up to EQEmu 3.3 or something. Your only choices for a login server are minilogin(unsupported) or the login servers the developers run.LoginServer.ini

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginport=5997
