Ugh, help.

[blastradius]

Ok, I hate to be that guy to ask for help, but all the other posts that seem to be similar to mine have not solved my problem.

I've got ports 5998 and 5999 forwarded in my router, and open in windows firewall. My loginserver window correctly shows my server logging in, and I see it as up in my client. I have both of the UF and RoF client, and both of them get in to server select, but black screen and return to login when I click play.

Output from loginserver log: (note, user listed changed for display here =p)

If I'm missing something simple, please point it out. Last time I set this up was back when minilogin was part of the instructions for private servers lol, and its been a while!

[Drajor]

port 9000 needs to be open for World<->Client connection

[blastradius]

Unfortunately that did not help. Any other ideas? =/

[Drajor]

Paste world log

[blastradius]

It has yet to generate one, I see zone logs, but they are just setting statuses. Is not generating a world log an issue before a client logs in? Or does a client log in, and then the world generate a log? I have yet to successfully log in, obviously =p

I compiled everything in 32bit, according to the most recent wiki for Windows.

[blastradius]

Also note, in cmd the world flag command only fails to work because loginserver did not produce an account on login. I added an account for testing purposes (which could still not login with either client), and was able at that time to set admin flags.

Ok this is a long shot but if you have copied your client from one PC to another or downloaded it from somewhere, the eqclient.ini file can have options set in it that do not work properly with your PC. Move that file out of your everquest directory and try to log in again. It will generate a new eqclient.ini on login with default setting. If this is the problem, it should let you into the game.

[Uleat]

In login.ini, try setting:

local_network = 25.

to:

local_network = 127.0.0.

[blastradius]

I believe part of my problem is that I'm not at home. I've got the server set up at home, and I remotely control / set it up from here, but it doesn't have a video card in it for me to run EQ with (supermicro server board). The local_network setting didn't get me any closer. Hmmm....

[blastradius]

After many hours of tinkering, removing and resourcing the database, beating it with a stick, and so forth, I merely uncommented the address and local address lines and it worked. So, only do that if you're running a private server and you've had as much crap getting it to play nice as I have had =p
