Bugs in my server!

[Gawlf_b]

(Reading the readme................... Nope, my problem does not seem to be here :P)

Anyway, I don't know for sure if this is the right place for this. Here is the problem:

The NPCs on my server seem to receive wrong information about player's location. Because of that, they face the wrong direction when hailed or when attacking and run the wrong way when chasing the PC (well, this is not 100% true... they run the wrong direction for some seconds but suddenly they pop nearer and nearer to the character). Also, they won't talk to the PCs when hailed and won't kill mobs, but I guess this may have nothing to do with the other problems. Finally, the characters are not able to use lifts and so because the lift goes up but they don't :S (I mean, the lift ascends THROUGH the PC).

And here are the outputs and files (I've marked on red the lines I humbly think are important). See that the outputs dont't show the log out process:

### --- This file tells world.exe what computer mySQL is on. Host should

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

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We recommend using the eqemulator.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: You can NOT use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automatically.

On the five server outputs I get the same warnings, but if it means what I think it does, it's not serious (well, except the 'si' command... I don't want my players to go summoning items! :P):

At last but not least, my system specs: I run it under Windows 98 in my 2,40 GHz Pentium with 512 Mb RAM and a Geforce4 64 Mb.

Thanks for reading :P

[Gawlf_b]

Er, ok, thanks Derision... wherever your reply is :lol: Thanks god I readed it at time. I guess I'd try and search a little more around the forums.

But now I have another question... how do I compile this code?? I know, I shouldn't be trying to create my own server if I don't know how to compile. The fact is that I've never used C++ (I'm just a Pascal amateur :P) and I don't know how this goes. I downloaded a compiler but I can't make the compilation to work, lots of errors.

Thanks again!

[RangerDown]

I believe the devs use MS Visual Studio .NET to compile the binaries they distribute. I remember seeing that on one of the threads...

[eq_addict_08]

#1 - you are using eqemulator login server in your ini file, yet triing to use minilogin w/ hosts.txt (edit - oops, need to read better)
acces levels can be changed, search it

#2 unkown opcodes are just that, unknown. You will see many of them, they don't affect EQemu

#3 disconnect. Most likely due to #1 but may be slow connection or other issue if #1 is resolved.

#4 if you have visual studio, compile the darn things, very straight forward, I had never compiled anything before, but got it first try. READ HOW-TOs

[Gawlf_b]

Mmmh, thanks both of you.

Regarding your first point, addict, aren't # supposed to make the program to not execute those lines? I thought so, and I put them there just in case there were any problems with the minilogin. :-?

And about slow connection, how much does it take? I use a DSL connection of 1024 kbps... anyway, I thought minilogin worked as local so the speed wouldn't be a problem.

True, I did not search on the tutorials forum :-? I'll go right now.

[eq_addict_08]

yuppers, the ## do exactly what you think, that is the reason for my edit at the end of the line =) I am not one to erase my stupid comments, just fess up and take the heat...

[NarutoLegacy]

You don't even need to run minilogin.exe, just set up a normal server but set everything to localhost and you should be the only one able to log on.
