When I ran into this is was related to the minilogin version. When I downloaded the latest version, it worked.

$0.02

Edit: One other thing. If you are using your own server, make sure you have an account with that username/password. I had to use my admin tool and add an eqemu/eqemu test account so I could test the darn thing.

to my understanding all you need to do is edit the eqhost file correct? im trying to join someone elses btw. I changed eqhost then i run eq with the patchme version but i put in my forum info and it gives me a 1001 error.

Sounds right to me...but an expert I am not :) I play with the emu only once in a blue moon.

alright ive found my problem and can login to servers but after i create a char and click enter world, i get booted any suggestions for this error?

[Windcatcher]

Do you actually zone in and then go LD? Because then I would suggest checking datarate.txt in your EQ folder. If it's set to 5 (the default), the emu usually doesn' like it. Values from 7 to 10 usually work.

If you don't actually zone in, then I have no idea...

I get booted after i click enter world it goes to the normal screen with the pictures on it then screen goes black and im back to server select

Im getting an error 1001 message while trying to login anyway to fix this? or do i have to wait till later? Thanks

Just so you know this IS NOT a support forum, but I dont feel like being an ass and making you post it in the right forum just to give you what I did to fix it...


I took out the line:

"eqlogin2.eqemu.net:5999"

and then I was able to connect.
