What happend now?

[DeathMan]

I followed the guide to make a server as of 3/10/04 , but now my server wont show on the list and nothing is wrong,look.

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net

See?

[Jezebell]

Do you have a router? or firewall program?

[DeathMan]

No.

[nilar]

Post your world.exe output and Ill be able to find the problem in there.

[Jezebell]

Need you to post your World.exe and Zone.exe output after you try to login.

[DeathMan]

Ok..How do I do that? I right-click in the area of World.exe but it wont let me do anything.

[nilar]

After you run world.exe...right click on the bar at the top, click edit, then select all. Right click again, go to edit and then click copy.

[DeathMan]

Ok.

[LoginServer] block not found in './LoginServer.ini'.

and you also not getting

Connected to eqlogin.eqemylator.net:9000

thats your problem...lemme see if I can figure out how to fix it

[nilar]

Your loginserver.ini looks fine..where is it located at though? I can't seem to find any other reason why you would be getting that error.

[DeathMan]

Its in the C:/EQEmu folder.

[nilar]

What operating system?

and is it named loginserver or loginserver.ini?

[Tertiary]

Make sure you have no spaces at the end of any line in your loginserver.ini. I just added a space after [LoginServer] in my own loginserver.ini and got the exact same error you are seeing.

[Jezebell]

Make sure there are no spaces after any of the lines in your LoginServer.ini, that is prolly your problem.

[nilar]

Yeah what that said :D lol almost forgot about that

[DeathMan]

I cleared the spaces and it is Loginserver.

[DeathMan]

Shweet. I see it. Thanks all.=D=D=D

[DeathMan]

HEY! Why do I still get a 1017 error?

[Tertiary]

HEY! Why do I still get a 1017 error?

When I just checked your server showed as locked. You need to post the output of your world.exe and zone.exe processes again.

[DeathMan]

That means your zones failed to connect to world.exe. Make sure you dont have any extra spaces or anything in boot5zones.bat.

[DeathMan]

Is this right?

[nilar]

Yep thats it

[DeathMan]

I still get the 10061 error.

Still cant find problem.

[DeathMan]

Anyone have any ideas.

[Jezebell]

try changing:

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

to:

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5997
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

See if that does anything.

This is telling us that there is a NAT issue more than likely, if all the numbers that are in load5zones.bat are correct.... Do you have a router or use DSL that uses a dynamic address? You should have your external IP address in the first part, and your internal IP address on the second part (if you use a router). If you have router then you will need to forward your internal IP address to your external IP address. If you have DSL that has a dynamic address (meaning it changes everytime you connect or day by day) then you need to read this post, as I may help. http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12417 (http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12417)

In other words, if you have all the numbers correct, then it is a routing issue of some sort... Or if you have a firewall it is blocking the port needed by zone.exe

[samandhi]

That will change nothing Jezebell. That is only used for minilogin. If he were trying to connect to minilogin not eqemuloginservers then he would either have to change that to 5997 or change his eqhost.txt file to 5999...

[edit] Also you should be able to put localhost or 127.0.0.1 in all instances where you have your IP address in load5zones.bat if you are running world.exe and zone.exe on the same machine... It doesnt have to travel out to the net, then back to your pc to connect.. It only needs to know that it is on the same machine...

You see, the only reference to your outside or external IP address is only needed in world address, to connect to eqemu loginservers (just so it will show up in the list) everything else (provided you are running every aspect of the server on the same machine) is internal or local to you and doesnt even need an internet connection... Try substituting those numbers before you go any deeper, because if that takes care of your problem then all will be well, otherwise you will have to do some tweaking on other issues...

To make it easy to replace the numbers in load5zones.bat just edit it using notepad and press ctrl+h on the keyboard. That will bring up a little pop-up asking what you want to search for. Type in your IP address, then under that it has a line asking what you want to replace with, just type localhost or 127.0.0.1 then hit find next.. after it highlights the first one, just hit replace all, and save the file and close... Your done... :) Hope this helps you.

[DeathMan]

So you mean change my IP to localhost or 127.0.0.1?

[Jezebell]

Wow Samandhi, i didn't know that about 127.0.0.1, thats a nice little tip to make it less confusing. Thanks for the tip :)

[DeathMan]

I made it...I can log into my server...but It wont go past the char select screen...look.

Ok now that you can connect your zone.exe to your world.exe (generalization), you can set your load5zones.bat to look like this:
REM: ****Read this first!!!****

REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "YourIP" when you are connecting
REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.

REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say 127.0.0.1

REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1
