Temporary Alternate Login Server for SoD

[gaeorn]

I have set up an alternate login server at www.tsahosting.net:5998 that is available for public use. This is a TEMPORARY solution until Rogean is able to update the eqemulator.org login server to support SoD. I do not want to split the project. I merely want those who wish to use the SoD client to be able to do so.

For server admins:
Simply add another login server entry for www.tsahosting.net:5998. I allow public connections so you do not need to provide an account or password.

For players:
You need to get your login information set on this login server. To do so, you need to log in to "ProjectEQ: The Grand Creation" or "Storm Haven" via the eqemulator.org login server and use the #setlsinfo command. The #setlsinfo command expects two values, your email address and your password. This will update the alternate login server so you can log in via it. Once that has been done, you can set your eqhost.txt to either www.tsahosting.net:5998 (Titanium and SoF) or www.tsahosting.net:5999 (SoD).

Again, I only plan on making this available until such time as the eqemulator.org login server supports SoD. I have no desire to cause division in the community, but I know there are people who are waiting anxiously to use SoD.

How do i use the #setlsinfo command and where do i input this command.

[gaeorn]

How do i use the #setlsinfo command and where do i input this command.

As stated above, you need to log into one of the two servers listed. You'll have to create a character on one of those two so you can get into a zone. When logged in all the way, you can then type the #setlsinfo command.

The proper syntax is of the form:

#setlsinfo me@mydomain.com mypass

where you replace the two values with your email address and password.

So far this only works for PEQ-TGC and Storm Haven, are there any other servers planning to use this login for SOD?

It would be nice to get all the servers that can run SOD onto this login since the main one still isnt updated and there is no word at all fom Rogean if he even still plans to support this client with an update to the main LS. At least we can move forward now with our servers and not be held up by one person anymore.

[gaeorn]

Any other servers that wish to connect to this login server can do so. You can only set up the account via PEQ:TGC and StormHaven, but once the account is set up, you can log into any of the servers that have connected to this login server.

actually got a question seeing as I run multiple boxes. I have to do this with every single account meaning im going to need different email addy's for each one correct?

Same question. You need an e-mail for every box?

[gaeorn]

You do need to do the #setlsinfo for each account. But you can use the same email address for as many accounts as you wish. The email address is merely in case there are issues and you need us to reset a password or something similar.

[b33tlejuice]

I see, well that aint to bad, would be awesome if the #setlsinfo did all 3 for your forum account instead of having to do each one seprately :(

[Caryatis]

damn some people are so lazy

The problem is that the world servers have no information about what login server accounts are associated with each other. So doing what you wish is not possible.

The login server for SOD seems to be down. Was working last night, but now I get "Error - A timeout occurred".

Titanium client still connects fine.

[gaeorn]

Yes, it appears my server is unreachable right now. I am investigating.

[Doderic]

The login server is up again.

[gaeorn]

Was a network outage. Has been resolved.

[CakeM1x]

This isn't working for me. This is what I did can anyone let me know if I'm missing something?
Logged into PEQ with old client and did the setlsinfo.
Logged off.
Changed the eqhost file in sod client to www.tsahosting.net:5999
Launched sod client and tried logging in and get invalid username/password.

[gaeorn]

PEQ had to be connected to this login server for it to be able to send the update packet. This login server was down all morning and part of the afternoon. And it appears PEQ has not yet reconnected. I would suggest trying again tomorrow or using the PEQ login server in the meantime.

SoD login server down... seems like tsahosting.net is pretty unreliable.

Edit: back up @ 8:26pm cst

[Epicbeardman]

Down Again

I just moved the equipment to a different colocation facility last weekend. I was dealing with some issues with the way things were set up so that is why it went up and down tonight. It should be stable from now on (except for when we take it down to update versions as we try to debug the connect to game server problems).

[Epicbeardman]

I am having an odd problem. I have one account that can no longer get into servers. I was playing fine on SoD the other day and then now when I try to login I get to the server screen and after trying to join a server it gives me an unknown error message. It is only this one account and it happens on all 3 or 4 servers.

[kal82]

So i got everything going, when i change my

[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998

to

[LoginServer]
Host=www.tsahosting.net:5999

it starts updating, is this normal? and if not what else do i need to do?

You mean the client starts patching? Double check that your shortcut has patchme written after eqgame.exe, outside of any quotes. If you've already downloaded some files you may need to reinstall, I believe a patched version will disconnect after selecting a character.

Also, double check that changes made to your eqhost.txt file actually "stick" after you close off notepad or whatever.

Do you mean that it starts showing the server list properly? If you are using SoD, you need the port number to be 5999. If using Titanium or SoF, you need the port number to be 5998. The eqemulator.net login server does not yet support SoD, which is why the tsahosting.net login server was made available.

If you mean it is doing the Sony update to the client, the eqhost.txt has nothing to do with it at all. What causes it to do the update is if you run EverQuest.exe instead of eqgame.exe. Also, when running eqgame.exe, you have to have a shortcut that has "patchme" as an argument to it or it will not work properly.

Im having this same issue. I have also tested my install via changing the eqhost file over to PEQs login server, and it works fine then, however, I am currently unable to connect to any servers, attached to the temporary SoD login server. It had been working just fine the past few days, but today, it started with the above mentioned error for all servers.

[gaeorn]

Exit everquest and try again. If that does not work, please provide your login name so we can investigate.

[Epicbeardman]

login name is magebot. I have been having to play titanium with this one and SOD with the others. It worked a few days ago though but now its unknown error after login when I try to join a server.

[Rajunn]

Is the login server down again? After using the #setlsinfo command from titanium on PEQ, I still get the invalid login/password error.

[adamalh]

Ok, I am having a new issue today. One I've never experienced.

This seems to be random, but has been happening a lot today to two of my accounts. I log into my account, get to SERVER select screen, click on EZ, login. After it loads at Character select screen, I have access to random people's characters. I am able to fully login to their characters as if they were my own. I exit EQ, log in again and i'll have yet another random character.

This seems to be intermittent, right now I'm logging into my own characters just fine. This happened earlier this morning then seemed to fix it's self, then it just happened again about 20 minutes ago.

I am using SOD client each time this happens, cannot verify if it happens on Titanium.

[gaeorn]

No it is not down. Make sure you use the exact same login name that you used to log in before changing your eqhost.txt. And obviously use the password you set with the #setlsinfo command.

[adamalh]

login name is magebot. I have been having to play titanium with this one and SOD with the others. It worked a few days ago though but now its unknown error after login when I try to join a server.

I am having the exact same issue as you now. I play multiple accounts, and they all work, except one of mine is now getting unknown error every time i try to login using SOD and the temporary server. I was able to login with that very same account a couple hours ago. I can login to that account using titanium client just fine, and I can also login to my other accounts using SOD just fine.

I have tried restarting EQ, and my PC. I'm not sure what could have spawned this error on that account.

[adamalh]

Ok I don't know if you did anything to fix it, or if time fixed it. I tried that same account a few hours later and now its working again with SOD. Just figured I'd update you.

[youthdragon]

Server down or is just me..

[KLS]

Looks up for me atm. I know gaeorn was working on something at work so it's not unreasonable to expect it to go down for short amounts of time.

[Wasted0x0]

I can connect with my Titanium client but not my SoD client. I type in password and click log in but gives me an error saying to make sure I am connected to the internet. Worked fine last night.

[GoKusse]

Not up for me either so you're not alone, titanium is working fine though.

[aab]

Been down for me also - haven't been able to get in at all today.

[walk]

tsahosting is down

OR I should say it may be up but the connection between it and me (and others it seems) is down. I'm on at&t dsl.

[gaeorn]

I am not aware of any issue with tsahosting yesterday. However, it did have a problem this morning that should be resolved now. Please post if you have further issues. Please note that not all servers have reconnected to it since it was down for a while this morning.

[helman]

Now I am not able to long in. I get stuck at the Logging in to server message.

[sirgoladith]

Here is an interesting issue...Ok so I can connect just fine SOMETIMES with the first account I registered to it the other day. But today I tried to register my other 3 accounts to it, and it doesn't seem to work. But occasionaly when I try to connect with my first one that does work it just hangs at the connection box when I try to log in, it will do that with the other 3 sometimes too, but most of the time it just says bad login or password...

[sirgoladith]

I got it figured out...PEQ isn't currently connected to the LS, so when I try to update it, it doens't work, but Storm Haven is, so I was able to use that. All better now.

[gaeorn]

Now I am not able to long in. I get stuck at the Logging in to server message.

This happens on occasion. We do not currently know the cause.

If you are seeing this persistenly, it is a different problem and we will need more information such as the client version and the contents of the eqhost.txt file.

[claudio]

Did post this on one other thread. Looking for some really nice person who wouldn't mind setting up my accounts for logging into the alternate login server. I currently only have SoD and have no other way of doing this. Please PM me if you would be willing to. Thanks! :)

[jabedoben]

When I log in, it says I have 0 of 0 expansions, and there are some zones missing (high hold keep for one).

Any help?

Thanks.

[micgo]

when i use port 9998 it just get stuck ar the login screen ? if i change to 9999 it tell me my password is wrong ?

[gaeorn]

It always says 0 of 0 with the new login server.

Speak to an admin of your game server regarding zone information.

[gaeorn]

when i use port 9998 it just get stuck ar the login screen ? if i change to 9999 it tell me my password is wrong ?

What client? What login server? Are you sure your password is correct? Have you tried any other login servers?

[trevius]

when i use port 9998 it just get stuck ar the login screen ? if i change to 9999 it tell me my password is wrong ?

I assume you mean 5998 and 5999.

[Tlaess69]

Anyone willing to log into these and #setls for me? i cant seem to reach my brother who is the only other player i know. I am useing SoD and cant log in without this being done. would appreciate.

[VlaAra]

I'm really confused. I had Titanium, needed to reinstall (was having some problems) decided SoD might be a better choice for me - so so I need to reinstall Titanium to login and do the #setls junk then install SoD again?

Alternately sounds like I could have my brother do the login stuff for me ingame eh?

[gibroni]

is this not working atm? have been unable to connect using SoD for last couple days

disregard, somehow my eqhost got changed.

[trollel33t]

nevermind...

[WarDave522]

Nevermind fixed it, It was a ID10T error =)
