Please help me with this godawful error i never got before

[Smarto]

Hey there today i got rid of my old DB and got the one from Drawde. Im using Telmet's 0.4.4 with Drawde's DB and stuff.... let me show you the results of World.exe being run:


Using database 'eq' at localhost
[Status] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.4-DR1
[Error] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.4-DR1

World server Listening on: 65.32.193.225:9000
Connected to LoginServer: eqlogin1.eqemu.net:5999



That looks normal... i think.

Then i run the boot5zones thingy that actually boots more than that.

Here is the text from one of the zone bootups:

And my server shows as locked even the the lockedstatus=false
thing is set.... it took me a long time to type that up so if anyone can help me fix it that would be great :idea:

make sure all the IPs in loginserver.ini are set right

[Smarto]

Here is my loginserver.ini -- note that i want it availabe on the eqemu.net login servers.

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

the error that im getting with the boot5zones thing( Worldserver connect: Connecting to the server failed:TCPConnection::Connect():connect() failed. Error:10061
[Error] worldserver.Connect() FAILED )

Is the same as with NO world.exe running.... maybe it can't detect my world.exe or something but - PLEASE help me fix this problem.

[Memener]

cheak to make sure you boot5ones and MYSQL is running and set up

This is my first time setting up an EQEmu Server and I am trying to get it to work on my Lan with two computers. I get the standard Error 1017 after trying to go to my server after logging in which states: If you continue to see this then maybe the update server is not available. I think this is due to one of two things.

1) my eqtime.cfg file is blank.
2) my eqefcfg.cfg file is bad.

8) Any help in fixing the 1017 Error would ge greatly appreciated. :shock:

Reasons for coming to these conclusions.

Reason for 1: my eqtime.cfg file is blank.
My eqtime.cfg is empty.
My World.exe startup looks like this (I put extra carriage returns where the problem is).

etc.


Any help with the eqtime.cfg would be appreciated. If it is something else please tell me.

Reason for 2: my eqefcfg.cfg file is bad.

Here is part on my patcher.log file.
The patch.exe does work and has patched every file but eqefcfg.cfg

One major pain of the patcher is I have to fix the eqhost.txt file everytime it gets patched so it will point to my server.


Info about my PC:
I am running Windows XP with all the latest patches including Service Pack1 and DirectX 9a

Two final questions.

1) are there any other places I could look to now where and how to redirect or bypass the update server check when entering my EQ server. I am not talking about when you start EQ but after you have logged in to the Minilogin and have selected the world server to play on and have pressed the <Play EQ> button since that is when I get the Error 1017.

2) I can get "eqgame.exe patchme" to lauch EQ, but I keep seeing people mentioning you can use EQW. What is meant by this and what is the syntax or how do you do it?

[Minena]

There is an application called EQWindows (EQW) that you start EQ with

http://www.eqwindows.com/

only run the patcher once, then all subsequent times run it thru eqwindows.
