I ran Everquest.exe by accident.

Did i screw everything up? I did everything in the manual for the steps to
"Hosting your own server on EQEmu"
and
"Hosting your own server on your Minilogin server on Local Network (no internet | supports 1 account)"
Everything went good, Ran Minilogin.exe, World.exe, and Boot5Zones.exe all is well and i have a kajillion windows on my taskbar. But when it came time for the moment of truth i got a little confused. It says run eq with EQW or "patchme" ?? what are these. I got confused and ran Everquest.exe thinking it was this. So I go to the login screen and im like typing eqemu for pw and login name and its not working, im thinking its still trying to login to VI servers. So I go back and look at the readme again....

****CAUTION****
Do NOT patch (do not run EverQuest.exe) to get the latest version of EQ unless you have
talk to someone in the Chat room or on the forums and they say it's okay to patch.
Failing to do so may result in connection problems and cannot be fixed until the next version of EQEmu is released.
****CAUTION****

Did I just own myself with ignorance? I figured out "patchme" is eqgame.exe right? so when I run it now it just prompts me to run Everquest.exe

What is EQW? everytime I try to run eqgame.exe I get a pop up window saying Please Run Everquest.exe

[jackass01]

Ok so I used the start/run/ command process to get EQ running. But now when I try to login using eqemu/eqemu, it says incorrect version run the patch to ensure you have the correct version or something. What do I do now? im stumped. BTW I am trying to do the version where....

"Hosting your own server on your Minilogin server on Local Network (no internet | supports 1 account)"

Start over.

Get the eqlogin.txt and put it back in the directory, overwriting.

Make a shortcut to eqgame.exe

edit shortcut to "c:\everquest\eqgame.exe patchme"
(Assuming your EQ directory for emulator is c:\everquest. mine happens to be h:\everquest_emu)

now run game from the shortcut from now on.
