View Full Version : EQEMu New Account Registration Method
khuong
05-28-2004, 03:20 PM
We are slowly moving to the new login server system.. therefore we have coded a new method of registering new accounts for use with the servers....
1. First you must edit your eqhost.txt to contain
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5995
2. Then download this file and put in your EverQuest folder [ Overwrite the current one ]
http://www.eqemulator.net/eqlsClient.ini
3. Load up EverQuest via the "patchme" method.
4. Click on New Account... let the page load...
The information that is needed is obvious...
You can get your Account Key.. by logging into the forums.. clicking on "Profile" and you can grab your key to use there...
If you do not want to edit your eqlsClient.ini file the link to the registration is
http://www.eqemulator.net/eqaccount.php
have fun.. if you have any problems.. pm me or something

I was an idiot and saved the eqlsClient file without saving the older one. I can't even connect... Does anyone have the code for the eqlsClient file for live? I would really appreciate that, as well as the eqhost file...

That was happening to me as well.
What worked for me was taking the eqhost.txt file deleting everything except the
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5995
and making it read only.
Realmhunter
05-30-2004, 06:10 PM
I went in and made it read only and still I crash to desk top. =\

05-30-2004, 06:22 PM
Okay, I'm kinda proud of myself for figuring this one out xP
Go into the eqhost.txt and delete everything like the other guy said... Even the empty spaces after each line.... and make it read only. Yay! :lol:

A working eqhost.txt can be found at
http://www.eqemulator.net/eqhost.txt
right click and Save As to your eqemu folder.

05-31-2004, 11:50 AM
I belive this might work...
1. Go to you host file
2. Type in this.............
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5995
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5995
(Yes, twice...works great for me...dont know how tho)
Then try to log on and see if it will work. The only down side is there is only a few servers that run off the latest patch...Have fun.
C.R.E.A.M :?

05-31-2004, 02:33 PM
Well, putting it in twice helped somewhat. I was able to get to character select screen to make a toon. But when I try to log into world I crash to desktop.
Seem to be getting closer at least.

I have several EQ folders. So I can still play on the DR.3s but would like to try the DR.4s. =\

05-31-2004, 11:58 PM
I was having the same problem, but all i had to do to fix it was download the eqlive eqhosts.txt and replace only the url. I'm not sure if there's some kind of special character that cant be seen in a text editor or what, but that worked for me.
So all you do is open the existing eqlive eqhosts.txt and replace the sony link with eqemulator.net:5995
Hope this helps some people out

I can't get past login. I keep getting this
Error 1010: No Host Was Found
Check that the file EQHOST.TXT exists in
the EverQuest directory.
I've tried everything I can think of, and I'm really out of ideas. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
i have my eqhost read-only and
[LoginServer]
Host=eqlplogin1.eqemulator.net:5995
inside of it. i have patched all the way to today, 6/04. im unable to get onto most servers that are even [0.5.7-DR4]. i dont get crashed to desktop but back to login. i was able to login to one [0.5.7-DR4] server, make a char, and enter the world. but after a couple seconds the game froze and i received an error message asking me if i would send the zone, char information to developers.
edit:
everything seems to be working fine right now. i can connect to the dr4 servers normally

i am a computer idiot and i also dont really understand what to do...
I changed the client and eqhost file and then when i start up EMU and do account>new account it brings me to the registration site...
I fill out all of my information, email, number, username, password etc...but then it says that one is already in use...obviously...Must i create a new username and just keep the email...etc? cuz im not sure how to register this thing...kinda gettin me annoyed...
but then it says that one is already in use...obviously...Must i create a new username and just keep the email...etc? cuz im not sure how to register this thing...kinda gettin me annoyed...
what do you mean by one? are you talking about the username being taken? if it is saying that about the username, then yes you have to use a different username, but you don't have to change the email address

Whenever I try to log in with my newly created halfling and try to enter rivervale...it says "The zone is unavailable". What's causing this/what should I do?!
that means that the server owners havent added that zone to their database yet. the only thing to do is find a character race thats home zone is supported (most likely humans in west freeport) by the server or try a different server if you really want to play a halfling

Only problem now is im crashing...I change eqhost to the right thing...then i delete the eqclient (text) and paste the new one onto it...i run emu and when it starts i get to the login screen...type in my password and hit login...it turns gray for about 20 seconds and then it crashes to my desktop...from time to time itll say eqgame has encountered a problem and needs to close...any ideas

animepimp
06-08-2004, 12:30 AM
To stop EQ from patching over your eqhost.txt you need to make sure your shortcut points to eqgame.exe and make your eqhost.txt read only.

06-08-2004, 10:01 AM
ok i did this.. replaced everything as it said "after runing live patch" it crashes on me soon as i put username and pass in.. so i tried old files.. it says no host found.. have deleted the *spaces* after the code in eqhost.txt , and still crashes.. if i do use old eqgame.exe and eqmain.dll it will let me log in pick a server but then client crashes after it has loaded.. (gave friend same eqgame.exe and eqmain.dll and it worked for him) why am i haveing so much trouble with this thing? lol.. any help would be appreciated :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:

erm ok does EQ Emu work on euro version? evry time i try the new login method i get hosts not found check my eqhost.txt and ive tried almost everything but in the old login mehtod i get a list of servers but i cant connect to any.
animepimp
06-09-2004, 02:54 AM
For the Euro servers you still have to connect to the new login server info, but you have to use the old eqhost.txt format. Theres several tutorials that show how to do this if you use the search button.

Red , just a quick thought, are you patched to latest in the US? If you have a European copy of the game, you'll need to somehow patch to the latest US Copy.
Just a thought. /shrug
I'm assuming you have patchme and everything ..
redguyone
06-12-2004, 03:07 AM
yes i pached EQ to the latest on 6-11-04, and then i followed the instructions at the begineg of the post but i still just crash after i put in the login and pw

I have changed the eqhost.txt and made it read only and also loaded the eqlsClient into the EQ folder to replace the old one but When I try to run eqgame.exe it brings up a window saying "please run EverQuest.exe" using this sends me to sony and forces me to upload the patch which attempts to replace the host.txt and client. Am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance for any replies. It would be cool to be able to play EQ after not playing for years. :)

Yah, Patch, then set ur eqhost.txt back, eqclient should be fine, unless ur makeing new accnt.
but if u have an account already, just patch to live, which currently makes it so u cant play. Screwed up the stuff again. SOE i heard is gunna do regular patch's just to screw over eqemu.

Patched completely up to 6/22/04 followed directions to get setup, I can get to the EQEMU login screen, but when I type my password and username in and hit enter the game is stuck at "logging in to the server. Please wait....". It's not even frozen, it shows up as running when I ctrl-alt-delete, just don't know what to do to fix this. Any help on getting past "Logging in to the server. Please wait...."?

I've been trying now for couple hours to solve the problem, haven't had any luck yet. Not sure whether or not it's their problem or something I've done wrong in setup. Been reading up on recent problems and people were complaining about June 16th EQ patch, so perhaps that has something to do with this.

whats weird is that the site says that there are like 100 people on right now so somehow they got on but i guess its the people that patched recently i guess, whats even weirder is how it worked fine yesterday, so it must have been something that the devs did to the login server, maybe if they retraced what they did we might figure it out

Ok why you are stuck at loading screen. this happens because the patch on June 22nd Broke EQemulator. so you have to wait for the DEV team to fix it. do not ask on an ETA. i suggest u break out the back up everquest folder if u have one if not ur pretty much outa luck unless you get a friend to give u his/hers. please do not ask for these files in forum or IRC that is called Warez and it is forbidden. have a nice day =P

I repatched to live and changed my host file again and tried it that way, now I just crash to desktop... is there any word on whats going on or how to fix it?

The latest patch is not compatible and will cause the login process to hang forever.
animepimp - Thanks for info. I am having that exact problem. is there anywhere I can see any update on the fix for the latest patch? Is there a location on the site where one could just go to in order to get a status? Or just read the boards?
I dont see anything in the news section on the homepage refering to fact that the new patch is uncompatible with eq emu. I figured that would be the place to look.
Thanks again

Not asking for an ETA, but how long does something like this usually take? Also, is there a way to run an offline LAN server instead of joining an online server? If there is, could anyone direct me into a direction, as far as getting the DB files for the zones and items, etc.
Thanks.

Not sure if this has anything to do with that patch, but I just went through all the changes. And when I try to log in, it sits there for a sec, then I get a dialogue box that says "Error: a timeout has occured." I am supposed to be putting my username and password where the Station Name and password go, right? I created this account a couple wks ago, so I'm not sure if it's the June patch that's messing me up, or if I'm doing something wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
