Changes

[bushman77]

Im an old eqemu'r coming back and was wanting to host a server on ubuntu 12.04. I see there are many changes and it would seem the old guides are a bit dated??
nm went therough the guide again seen what i was missing

Bushman! Well, the project is now hosted on GitHub, the build system is now based on cmake and is a lot better than the old makefiles that sucked :P (http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=CMake)

There are now two quest systems, perl and lua, both are used by PEQ's quest system. (so you probably want to enable both of them)

PEQ's DB is now dumped daily and you can find more info here http://www.peqtgc.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14037

The dependencies haven't really changed, just need lua and boost now I think (in addition to the previous depends) The GCC version also got changed to min version 4.6, which Ubuntu 12.04 uses, so you should be good.

what are each of thesae, lua and boost, and also how does one go abouts setting up cmake for each??

http://bpaste.net/show/172372/ Those are the notes I took last time I did a clean install on a debian system. Meant to write an up-to-date guide but I'm lazy ...

Thanks demonstar55 I've been trying to piece together how to get my server up and running and this will probably do the trick. :)

Hello Bushman77/Demonstar55

Thanks for sharing. Do you have any word of wisdom on setting up Bots on your server.

Thanks
