GM on your own server?

[Lm2004]

How do you make your account the Main GM on your server?

[wize_one]

kinda like your other post.. Search is there for a reason.

[Lm2004]

omg, how bout stop trying to get posts and help!!! omg, i see all your posts and that is all you do, you read the title and then post your lil trademark, try helping for one, maybe if you know, did you read my other post? i said i searched already, wize_one!

Sorry for any flames ignited here, just get pissed off when that is all you do...

[sotonin]

if you would post something worth a crap, he wouldn't need to. search your answer is there.

[Lm2004]

Jesus, what is with all you people, stop posting bullshit and help, my god, if you dont have anything worth saying dont say it, ive already tried searching, obviously ive had no luck, if you find a good link please post it, stop giveing me shit about "Search this" and search that, i dont need that, i need the answer, so if you feel like posting, post something i can use, or dont post at all, im better off with out you posting the crap that is useless, no one wants it or needs it, if you dont like this post, ignore it! is it so hard? or are you just lonely and feel like pissing an old man off?

[wize_one]

if people used the search function instead of looking for someone to hold their hand or even setup their server for them.. then people wouldnt have smart assed answers all the time..

[Lm2004]

again with the useless posts, in the time it could have taken you to post both your posts, you probably could have found what i need, now if you want to post agin, spend a lil extra time finding the thread i need.

Thanks for careing.

[wize_one]

1) open dos window
2) format c:
3) box up computer
4) return to vender
5) use refund for a down payment on a brain.



if that fails try doing c:\eqemu\world.exe /?

dont tell me that is not posted somewhere cause i have already answered this same damn question like 30 friggin times.

Search found 43 matches

[sotonin]

I find it funny that you can open up almost any sticky post in the tutorials forum and find an answer to your original post.

come on man, quit being pathetic.

[Lm2004]

back at yah, you can help, wow gratz you doubled your posts!!!

Now stoping being a jerk and help.

[sotonin]

Do us all a favor and run out in front of a moving vehicle. thanks

[wize_one]

whats your paypal id? so i can send ya $0.25 so you can call someone that might give a fuck.. use search and read.. if that fails go back to live and STFU

guess you cant read huh.. the answer is already posted in this thread.. i better leave this alone b4 i really deserve a flame ticket.. /grin

[Swampdog]

1. Wipe out your eqemu folder that you installed the server in
2. Delete your mysql database
3. Go to the forum titled Tutorials and Howtos and find one of the stickied ones regarding server setup and follow the directions including the one regarding adding the account record :wink:
4. Follow directions for editing your eqhosts file and connect.

If you follow that, you should be able to connect in as GM with no problem (you might also wanna download the server guide - also a sticky in that forum I believe).

If you have patched since the 18th, none of the above applies though. If that is the case, you are pretty much screwed until the devs finish testing the new code changes required for the patch.

One other clue, the attitude trip is not a good way to get help around here. Wize_one was very correct in what he posted. If you would have used search or went out and looked at the posts in the other forums instead of getting irrate when it was suggested, you may have been able to have been up and running by now instead of sitting there with your blood boiling and alienating yourself from the community.

We are all here to help each other, but at least have the courtesy to do some leg work or let us know what you have tried. If someone suggests you search, that simply means the question has been asked before and there is an answer out in the forums. If when everyone had a problem they simply posted it without searching, all of the useful information in the forums would be drowned out by people asking the same questions and this project would be dead because all anyone would have time to do is answer the same questions over and over again. That is why people suggest that you use search and that is why they get irrate when you flame them after they suggest it.

At any rate, follow the steps above and you should be able to get it going. If you can get in and can't use commands, download the server handbook and browse through the commands section.

took me 46 seconds including load time look on page 2 thread
i have my server up and running...How do i get GM-Impossible

and the respond most people are hard on you is because you made a thread for something you really should not have like I said it took me 46 seconds just reading the files that are necessary to build a server should be enough to have figured this out on your own

[RexChaos]

And exactly how much time did you people waste by flaming him? Was it going to take precious seconds out of your day to help him? didn't seem to be too short on time to flame him. If you have nothing to say, just don't reply. People will figure out the search on their own if they get no help.

This is a big part of why search is a bloated waste of time itself. You get results like this topic...

As for that helpful link you provided, when clicked you get:

No topics or posts met your search criteria

I also did searches for various gm, flag, 255, and status combinations and never found the answer. I searched several times for it.

Your answer:

Easiest way to do it is to open the database and go to the accounts table. Find your account and in the status column change 0 to 255.

In game you can flag someone else (after you have gm access yourself) by typing: flag <statuslevel> <accountname> (or maybe I have statuslevel and accountname reversed. I usually do everything in the db...try either way)

[sotonin]

if he would of simply followed any of the numerous stickied walk throughs on setting up servers the answer would of been plain as day.

Not to mention the important ones are linked to directly from the eqemulator.net web-site

[Lm2004]

Sorry to all you, but thanks for the help those who did, im not very good at searching, so i was unable to find what i needed, the lesson for Wize_one and Soto is, if you are able to search well, then just do a search and help and dont be an ass hole, if someone needs help dont post shit just for post count, no one gives a shit what you think if u keep posting useless crap, thank you everyone, if you helped or not.

[wize_one]

5th post had your answer in it but you didnt fucking read.. so for that you kept getting shit on.. learn to use the web, learn to read then do the same again.. untill you master reading and useing a search tool, gawd i can just see the how do i install mysql how do i get a database.. how do i how do i ....


/em runs away screaming......................................... ...............

[Lm2004]

christ, you dont have to be an ass hole all the time, try helping for once, im still new to this and no one needs your negative shit, ive looked but everything i find has nothing to do with what i need.
So lay off and actualy help, that is what the forum is for am i right?

[eq_addict_08]

Running an EQEmu server is NOT a plug-and-play thing. I have been reading these boards several times a week for the last 8 months (Very much newbie here :lol: ) and still find many things out that I never knew before. If you have the patience to search and read, and read ALOT, then you will begin to understand how this thing works. A person doesn't go to a linux website and bitch because no one answers his question on compiling sourcecode. You just research and figure it out. If it is a question 99/100 times it has already been answered before.

edit- for my sUx0r spelling

[wize_one]

christ, you dont have to be an ass hole all the time, try helping for once, im still new to this and no one needs your negative shit, ive looked but everything i find has nothing to do with what i need.

does this look like something you may have over looked in the 5th post to this message?.. gawd even after i pointed out what message it was in.

try doing c:\eqemu\world.exe /?

wow, i did the help line that was given and got this back:
d:\eqemu\emu\world.exe /?
[Status] Using database '57dr2' at localhost
[Status] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.5.7-DR3
Worldserver command line commands:
adduser username password flag - adds a user account
flag username flag - sets GM flag on the account
startzone zoneshortname - sets the starting zone
-holdzones - reboots lost zones

so i guess that tells me i shoud do:
d:\eqemu\emu\world.exe flag accountname 255
to set the account as a server op..

now that it has been typed out plain and clear in english for you. have a nice day. dont expect anymore help.

[sotonin]

**** ATTENTION ****

**** MORON ****

This is like the 4th message saying the same god damn thing. READ THE FUKING STICKY MESSAGES IN TUTORIALS. That will answer this question.

thats all.

thank you, come again.

[Lm2004]

Ok this post is over, and wize, i dont have that version, when i run world.exe it doesnt give me messages, it only displays what it starts running, everything has a [status] in front of it, but thanks for you help. was that so hard? took all that time just to help?

Thank you everyone for posting useful posts, soto, thanks for being a pain in the ass.

dont bother replying to this, im done reading this post.

[Jezebell]

LM2004 you are truly an idiot, the version you are running has nothing to do with the command line options, I seriously hope you can't manage to get a server running, can you just go back to Live so you don't have to worry about any of this?

[Lm2004]

Im sorry, but i will admit i am a little slow, i just figured out what he meant =/ sorry all for my stupidity, but im getting frustrated when i get farther and farther, and then i hit a roadblock, like everyday for the past two weeks i have been working on this, thanks to those that help, and sorry again, but please, next time, if you know the answer just help, some people have trouble finding everything from the stickies, ive looked all around and i couldnt find anything, because i didnt know what to look for, so i had to resort to posting =/

sorry that this post attracted so much negative attention, but when someone needs help and you know what to do, just help them, you will go alot farther in life.

[Jezebell]

Actually we are trying to teach people to help themselves. I admit, its better not to post at all than to post "use search". But if nobody answers your question then one of two things will inevitably happen:

1. You will be forced to find the answer on your own.

or

2. You will give up and go back to Live or just play on other peoples servers.

Either option is good in my opinion. I can't speak for everyone but if you can't use Search or browse through the different forums reading stickies and old posts then I don't want you running a server. Why? Because running a server is not easy, it involves alot of work and maintenance and if you can't do these basic things then you will not be able to run a server either. This is nothing personal against you, we are just trying to help you help yourself. I hope I explained that well enough.

[Cans]

Really guys, it's not his fault.

We were all new at some point and most of us still have yet uncover half of what eqemu has to offer, either talking about running a server, or simply playing.

Eventually, everyone who is new will realize that this forum has been around long enough that most every question has been answered and that sometimes searching through those 1607 search posts has to be done.

Pretty much, if you don't like reading, you should just play Live or EQEmu until you like reading, lol.

I hate that flag command because I always forget it and I know whenever I do a search for it, i can't find it and the tutorial commands didn't work for me. So I went to mIRC and asked around in there, or I simply did it via EQAdmin instead of posting.

Moral of this post: Just lay off the newbs a little bit - because that's what they are..newbs. You can't expect them to know everything right off the bat. At first glance, this whole project is confusing as hell if you don't know what's going on or if you don't know anything about DOS, linux, or whatever. But he's here to learn it and try to be apart of the project, being someone who is beneficial to the environment. But in order to get there, he needs to learn a few things. Why don't we just help him?

With that being said .. you will find that Search is your friend in most situations, Lm.

[Lm2004]

Thank you 2, and yes i am new, all my post counts are from this thread =/ thanks for all help =)

Yes, but the difference is, when I didn't know how to do something, I searched for it. Two reasons:

1) Why have a message board if no one learns from what is posted?

2) It takes too damn long to get a response to a relatively simple question.(not an insult, just sometimes you need the answer NOW and not when a helper stumbles across it)

[Lm2004]

What, i dont expect it now, i ask a question cuz i dono how to find the answer, i wait if i have to...

[Fajo]

So much love we are feeling in this post :twisted:

[Lm2004]

Yah, no kiddin, im gettin sick of all those people with cocky attitudes, i mean realy, in all the time it took to bitch about everything they could have already of helped me, and wize_one knew the answer too, but he had to be an ass hole and complain intead of help...

If you aren't gunna help dont bother posting, waste of everyones time, including yours, so realy, just help if you can, not everyone knows what to do, or what to search for, that is what the forumis for, questions, and answers. if you dont want to help, or you feel the post is, how should i put this... "lame" then dont post... Either help or move on, if someone is asking a question, they probably are already frustrated (speaking from experiance) and then if they get a whole thread of bullshit, and not what they asked, they are going to be more frustrated, so just lay off, and grow up, you need to learn that people dont like it when you bitch in moan in every thread.

IMO, Drop it, Lm2004.
You're taunting them, they'll pwn you.

yep i knew the answer and gave it to you. you just didnt read.. thats your problem.. anyways.. it was fun for me to keep on you because the answer was already there and you kept going..anyways.. like fadina said.. just drop it.

No sir, YOU need to grow up. Learn to Read. People ALSO dont like it when newbies bitch about the same thing every day thats easily found by searching. We get sick of it really fast. We are here to help people with questions that haven't been asked yet, Not questions that have been asked over and over. Im very close to banning you with the attitude iv seen from you. If you can't use search to find your answer, then you shouldn't be running a server.

[Lm2004]

why do you all have to be ass holes all the time?

Huh?

Cant actualy make 1 single post where you help?

Its hard to know when your helping when u give the answer in a jungle of spam, cuz i dont read that shit.

[Swampdog]

Seriously Lm2004.. Quit whining... Suggestions for helping you with your problem have already been posted. So what.. People harassed you for your posting about stuff that has been asked millions of times. Thats the way things go, not only here but pretty much any support board for any product that is opensource and free where people ask the same questions over and over again.

At any rate, get over it already. All you are doing is making it harder on yourself. Your contant sniveling about people ruffling your feathers is only gonna make it harder for you to find people that wanna help you in the future. Quit complaining now before you dig yourself deeper in.

I don't mean to ruffle your feathers more and if I did, I apologize in advance. I'm just getting tired of seeing you dig yourself deeper in a hole. :wink:

[Lm2004]

Yes your right, but they aren't bothering me, but good advice, i will try and be more pain tolerant =/

i dont have access to change anyones settings.. it was done by a board admin. so i sugest you lay off b4 you get banned all together.

[govtcheeze]

Dear Santa,

This year for June 1, I would really like a 1 day cooling down period for the eqemu message board. Basically when someone signs up for an account, they can not post for 24 hours, and are required to click on all of the tutorial links in that secion of the message board. I ask for these things for a couple of reasons:

1) Duplicated topics for questions already answered in a plethora of other posts go way down. This also prevents search from becoming gummed up with worthless posts.
2) Noobs who would have found the answer by READING CAREFULLY instead of skimming those said tutorials will post less.
3) World builders such as wize_one, who have done a tremendous amount of work to get working live-like mobs into the game will not be harassed by said noobs, even after the correct answer was given but skimmed over instead of READ CAREFULLY.
4) Messageboard-wide peace and goodwill, as topics like this would be snuffed out before given a chance to rise.

If this is not possible, aces over kings will suffice.

Thanks,

Little Johnnie

LM2004, If you post even ONE more 'retarded'.. 'newbie'.. or 'flame' post, Or if you even LOOK at me funny, youll be banned faster than you can say 'wtf'. We clear? Good.
