Guide

[Wolfdemon123]

Ok the Guide i was useing was i think EQ EMU 6.4 that gudie i don't understand it . Also when i go to connect to the servers like i said i can't connect to them at all because ot gos thu the stuff but then brings back to the login screen i tryed others everyone made thoses won't work . i guess private servers are just annoying to make i made a World of warcraft server with my own monsters and weapons and stuff with things i downloaded and i have a ultima private server and a Riages or something and everything thoses were hard but i understand them. The easy way sometimes i can do private servers if theres snapshots or a video guide with it i don't mind the others there just i don't know , like not showing enough info on it like there hideing something . Can someone help me i think after if i can the blank server list to come or if i can get my server uploaded from your site or something i might beable to get it to work.

opps i almost forgot the loginsever stuff is this :

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
loginport=5999
worldname=ServerName
worldaddress=localhost
locked=false
account=
password=
[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=
[ChatChannelServer]
ChatChannelServer=
[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=minilogin
ServerPort=5999

i don't have a eqconfig file when i downloaded this from the guide so i don't know if thats why .i think thats all i can think of for info

[Wolfdemon123]

Im doing my best to not try and spam in this i want to have to kept open untill i can get this fix . I got some other errors wit this not only do i get no server. and it tells me htat the ip when thu the minilogin , it tells me theses errors when i got to try and start the World.exe or what ever

[Status] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.6.4-DR1
[Status] Loading opcodes..
[Status] EmuShareMem loaded
003468990
[Status] Loading Variables..
Database Error: Lost connection, attempting to recover..
DB Query Error #2006: Mysql Server as gone a way


and it pretty much loads the stuff but then does thoses errors over and over agin

umm i don't know whats wrong it .

i also try to load zone or zoneperl they come up but then dissaper so i don't know what im doing wrong .

Heres a other thing this is with the Minilogin i got runing right now.

Loginserver.ini read.
[Status] Loading opcodes..
Servermode: MiniLogin
Login server listening on port:5999
63672 New client from ip: 66.191.238.67 port: 4409

that ip is the one im useing i get in but i don't have any list of serers i just finshed looking at others have the same thing i did what they tryed to do to fix it it won't work so i was thinking of makeing this thread . Out of all i think this might be one of the hardest servers i ever made in my life.

Like i said i got WoW server Ultima Online server . Lineage 2 and all that stuff Ultima was kinda hard to make along with the others . but this one the everquest . THis is one of my most hardest servers that are to make . I have no idea how you guys to it i think its amazing yet werid . ummim thinking of useing minilogin or something what ever one is the easyist just help me

The best thing I can recommend to you is to not follow such a outdated guide like the 0.6.4 one. Try to use the PDF guide in my sig if you need some visuals. I put in screenshots to help guide you through the server setup process so its really not that hard.

Start off by removing anything and everythign that you have done towards this project. All downloads all programs ect... and then re get everthing. Make sure your using a newer version of Mysql for the guide so you dont get confused. I dont know if your WoW emu uses Mysql for the database, but this one does so make sure that you dont have any conflicts if it does.

Try this out and see how it works for you.

ok i did that guide i just i get loged in finlly but heres the thing i got mysql runing 'YAY' lol anyways yeah , its runing i have the Minilogin up right now i did what you said with the removeing i just tryed to do both kinds the frist one from the PDF guide game up with a error of the eqlunch when the program is right there so i gave up on that . i can get in minilogin but. im haveing that bug or what ever agin with the server not showing up if you can maybe idk help me somehow maybe over the phone team speak what ever is best or on here is fine i don't mind . im makeing prgoress or waht ever i just need to know how to get my server to show up oh yeah and im not useing a rotder or what thoses things are called i did all the setups i just need to know what im doing wrong to get my server not to show up . Tell me if you know anything or if i need to give out any of the stuff needed for it.

Ok, first off you dont need to mess with the eqemu_config.xml.full file. Its not needed.

Next off, are you on dial-up on or just behind a dsl/cable modem, the latter should still give you a internal ip like 192.something. If your on dialup, replace all the 62 addresses you put in with 127.0.0.1 or localhost. I dont have dialup so maybe one of our dialup users can help you out here.

Next off, eqlauch not stating is mosting due to the world zone/zones being wrong in your stat.bat file. Change it to zone if its zones, or to zones if its zone. Also, I know I earlier guide I wrote eqlauncher instead of eqlaunch. This error may have slipped through and I missed it so just change it and take out the "er" if its there.

For your eqhost file. Make sure you got the 127.0.0.1:5999 in there.

One more thing, in your eqemu config file, under the loginserver seciton, the port is 5999 not 5998. 5998 is used if you make your server on the public login server instead of the minilogin.

is that sopost to happon

oh yeah and i sitll don't get any severs they won't a apper what the heck am i doing wrong ? Can you make a video guide after you try and explain what im doing wrong.

And no Im not useing Dialup im useing a enternet modom i don't know i been working on this for the past 2 days non stop and im starting to think this is just a rip off.. sorry

[techguy84]

Umm, I am not going to make a video guide as I dont have that much free time. The project/guide is not a rip off. There have been countless people that have come before you and made a sucessful server right out of the gate, with the luxury of a screenshot guide. I for one with absolutly no knowledge of this went and made a server in under a day with no issues.

I can see how your having so many troubles, but bashing all this will not get you any further down the road. You have to step back and re evaluate all that you have done adn make sure that everthiyng is fine. I can cipher what your problem causer is from your post so I cant help to much.

Can you see your client connecting to the server. In the minilogin window and the world.exe window it should show you connecting. If it doesnt, you need to recheck all of your config files once again. Make sure that your using all the current components as recommended by the guide.

Maybe you just need to step back and take a break for a bit, you would be surprised how that would help, As for Techguy84's guide they don;t get any better then that, Its absolutely Perfect take that from someone that has tried alot of guides in the past :)
Good Luck

[Revilor]

Techguy's guide is superb and if no one can follow that with the help of screenshots then they aren't worthy to run a server. I learned a lot since I started back in September 2006 and I didn't know how to set up a server or what not and it took me a while to work out the kinks. On another note you should be thankful someone like Techguy answered your post.

[Wolfdemon123]

Ok i was talking to someone and i showed them this .

i just talked to the last poster in this thread


this is what the start bat and Eqemu.bat looks like

@echo off
start minilogin.exe
Echo Please wait for Minilogin to fully boot up.
pause

thats the script for it is there anything i must have to change that might work
as for the servers i don't know the world.exe comes up the window but then just dissappers in like 1 second and gos along with the zone and eqlaunch and everything the only one that does not do that is the minilogin and start.bat because they only bring up that thing but the zone and world fades when i click on them.

also i don't know if its to late but just did a recheck on my thing with the version with the EQVerChecker thing. the number it came up for me was this

9FBB

i don't know what version i need to run that when i click compare emu it don't make since.

[Wolfdemon123]
