Hello, I went by the newest tutorial for windows to start my own EQEmu server. I have never done this before, the only other experience in this sort of thing I've ever had is starting my own Ultima Online shard using Sphere, which I've seen very vague similarities, but other than that, this is way more complicated -- But to the problem I'm having (I hope its not too long):
I followed the tutorial to the T, I THINK I did everything right (obviously I didnt but...) There are multiple problems and I think they are pretty minor and can be solved easily. Well first of all when I start up the start.bat (which I created to the exact specifications as the tutorial said to), there are 2 black screens that pop up, one dissapears very quickly. The other says: Wait for World to finish loading... Press enter when done. Press any key to continue . . . -- I press enter, and it gets rid of that black screen, makes another one that is completely blank, I do like the tutorial says and wait, about 30 minutes passed and nothing happened, so I just guessed that the world is loaded, (which is probably the root to the problem, but continuing on anyways) I went and got Minilogin, and extract it into my EQEmu directory, I start it up, and another hint that it is messing up, it says 0 Servers, 0 Clients. I then went to the "MiniLogin Setup" tutorial, I go into the MYSQL command line client like the setup tutorial says to, and tried to type in the code, and got a strange error message back saying : No database selected. There is nowhere in the tutorial saying I needed to select a database for Mini So obiously I dont even have a server up, but I installed and configured MYSQL perfectly, I already checked. I changed all the ips in the files to 127.0.0.1, and when I try to connect to my server on my Everquest Titanium (Unpatched, freshly installed) client, it goes to a blank server screen. When I go back to the mini login, it shows my ip and shows that I attempted to log in but obviously there arent even any servers to choose from. So I think I have 2 or maybe even 3 problems attacking me at once, can anyone help? Thanks...
