Now, if you get new users signing up, then they download the EQEmu Patcher 1.01 or whatever it is then extract it, they can't run it.. Why? "Because it's screwed." How long is this going to take to get this thing fixed so I can run it and install the missing files for EQEmu so I can select a server from EQEmu? This is pathetic, or another option is what you can do is make zip with all the files needed for EQEmu to work, like so you can choose a server from EQEmu. In the mean time someone tell me why it is always saying "Cannot Connect to Patch Server" - Then - "Operation Terminated" (Oviously this mean new users are unable to play EQEmu)...

Jeez, Valdaor, you need to take a reality pill. I haven't been able to use patcher for 3 months. Relax! Before patcher, you had to wait until the next eqemu. You've only waited a little over a month. Don't upset people, and don't post this thread twice again, and like I wrote in your other thread, post these in their forum, general support.

What's pathetic is your attitude. Your post makes it sound like we owe you something, which we do not. Why dont you ask someone who got it to work to walk you through how to set it up?

Funny thing is I only started on EQEMu a week ago and have had NO trouble with the patcher. I've been able to play just fine and I've been able to setup my own local server on my LAN.

Alrighty

1) Install EQ
2) If you play Live make a copy of your Everquest folder to something like EQEmu where you will play from
3) Patch to the latest Live version
4) Run the EQEmu patcher

Lets elaborate of 4 because you seem to be unable to get it to work.

Unzip the files into your EQEmu folder (or your Everquest folder, depending on what you use to play on the emu servers)
Now, it probably put it in a folder named "patcher" or something like that. THIS IS BAD, take all the files out of the "patcher" folder and put them in your EQ directory. Then run the patcher from there. It should work, if it still doesn't you probably need some sort of Service pack for your version of windows, I don't remember where the link is. Just post if it doesn't work.

Valdaor
04-17-2003, 06:25 PM
Alright, I uninstalled EverQuest and removed the folder. I reinstalled EverQuest and ran the live patch update. Then I installed EQEmu to my EverQuest folder and checked to see if the patcher folder was there, it wasn't. I ran the EQEmu Patcher, but still it said, Cannot Connect to Patch Server.

Lets look at something.

I just ran the usage log for the patch server. Here is something I noticed: Total KBytes 27396005

This is since we moved to the new server. I would say the patcher works fine. You are either behind a transparent proxy (in which case you are Shit out of luck) or your machine is retarded.

I don't think it's my fault the patcher isn't working.. When you unzip the patcher you put it in your EverQuest directory don't you? I never use to have problems with it. I think the patch server is down or something, but I think they should have a zip file that you can download with all the files you need to have EQEmu working. Also the eqhost.txt download link isn't working so that isn't helping. x.x

Awesome, I got it to work. Now I'm having another problem. I cannot connect to any of the servers that players and EQEmu provide. I think this is because the EQEmu Patcher is fucked it doesn't do shit. I was using EQWindow to get on. Also when the EQEmu Patcher use to work it would patch EverQuest and so on then when you log into EverQuest you don't get that picture of a frog where the 'connect, create account, account etc..' is. What the hell do I do now? All I have managed to do is get it into the EQEmu Login, but I have to make it so I can get onto the servers.

Man, you need to learn that all things dont work on all machines. How can 3000+ people run the patcher fine, and 20 or 30 cant? Did you know the patch server runs on the same exact webserver that the forums run on? You are posting, how did that happen and the patch server is down?!?! If the patchserver was down, the forums would be down also. Think about that.

Last night, I patched from live to eqemu with the patcher. I did this and logged onto Krusher's first attempt. No problems what so ever. Maybe you should just pay us for support. I only charge $40/hr. Just an idea.

Okay guys.. You don't seem to be supporting me, but anyway. That eqhost.txt link is dead so I figured, eqlogin.eqemu.net:5999 would be the registration server and eqlogin1.eqemu.net:5999 & eqlogin.eqemu.net:5999 would be the login servers. Now with the EQEmu Patcher, it doesn't work for crap, so I downloaded EQWindow and used that. The login servers were perfect, but still another problem because I don't play Live I installed EQEmu Patcher into the EverQuest folder, well this is no problem this is what I did when I could play. Anyway there is something wrong with EQEmu Patcher, it won't start it just says "Cannot Connect to Patch Server" and for godsake Guest_03 just tell me the FILES!!!!

Valdaor

For god sakes...

Ok, I had quite a few problems starting up EQEmu as well, here's what I did, and some of this might help.

Find out what the absolutely correct eqhost information is.

Run through Everquest Live Patcher thorough check 3 times (this got a few extra files).

*****REPLACE EQHOST AND SAVE******

Be sure Eqemu patcher files are with the rest of your Everquest live files.

Try running everquest from Eqemu patcher way (click on run eq on the patcher window).

Specify which error you are getting, if its the cannot connect to server (1007?) try patching eq thorough again, replacing eqhost again, and eqemu patching again.

If you can get to server select and it won't get to character select (at least this is what the problem was with me), you are missing files required for eqemu. At first people thought I had gotten the live patch that was unfixable. It turned out to BE fixable and I just had eqemu patcher files in the wrong folder.

Sorry if this wasn't enough, took me 5 hours to get eqemu up and running (it also wasted my much needed weekend). Have patience, there is always an answer.

Valdaor
04-19-2003, 02:25 PM
Dude, I can't get into the part where you click "RUN" when I click the EqEmu Patcher link it just comes up with a little screen "Cannot Connect to Patch Server" behind it, it has Operation Terminated.. Okay, so i'm not having any errors, simply the EQEmu patcher won't run.

Thrune
04-19-2003, 02:31 PM
hmmm... thats odd...

Try uninstalling the file again and redownloading it, make sure you have the location set to C:\ProgramFiles\Everquest\eqemupatch or whatever. One time I tried it and I just downloaded it to program files without click everquest

Thrune
04-19-2003, 02:34 PM

04-19-2003, 02:57 PM
Well hum...

Let me think for a second...

Try completely re-downloading the patcher. (as in deleting all files of eqemu patcher on the comp and redownloading from this website)

If that doesn't work... hmm...
the only thing I can think of is a possible firewall you may or may not know about that is restricting access to connect to an outside source in this manner.

Of course, that makes absolutely no sense in the...sense...of why it would be doing that. Try disabling any firewalls and allowing full internet allowance from your computer. (don't blame me if you get hacked ;-) )

Valdaor
04-19-2003, 04:16 PM
Haha.
I'll give it ago, but also I noticed when you install/extract EQEmu it only puts two files into the EverQuest folder, patcher.dll and patcher.exe maybe there is some files missing.
Anyway apart from that I'll look for anything on my computer that is causing a firewall.

Valdaor
04-19-2003, 04:22 PM
No, I couldn't seem to find anymore applications that could be causing firewalls other than Norton Antivirus. In this case I will propably just have to wait for an EQEmu update or when you run the EQEmu patcher it is hosted to this site right? So there must be some kind of link where all the files are stored for the EQEmu Patch updates. If someone could give me the link I could download all the files nessescary for EQEmu to work, not saying that the EQEmu Patcher would work, but I could just use EQWindow.

Val u dont seem like a very positive person. Let me see if my 2 cent 56 k modem dl through patcher now knowledge can help. i will go real slow for all u pep out there seen prety colors jumpin around the screen.

1. Instal Eq (who would have quesed)
2. Patch Eq to the latest version by running Everquest.exe
3. Download Patcher 1.01
4. Double click i beleve its an exe instal file not lookin now so dont care
5. Point it to your everquest directore ie c:\program files\sony\everquest trilogy (yes i know theres typos in there)
6. Upon it instaling open up patcher.exe
6a. if same error oh well ull never play sucks to be you
6b. if it starts to download files good for you
7. go to www.egemu.net click on readme on the left hand side of the screen click the link in the how to set up client machine area that will direct you to a .txt file to dl this file and not open in a browser like mine did right click go down to save as and save it as forgotthefilename.txt
8. place that file into your everquest directory
9. click on your start bar click run in the field type in the location of your eqgame.exe ie for mine it was "c:\program files\sony\everquest trilogy\eqgame" patchme make sure you have patchme at the end w/o qotation mark near it
10. if you still have problems i dont think theres a person here that could break it down any simplear then that.

fyi the server for the patcher was down a while ago and i notiched at that time i was haveing problems surfing the eqemu website if you notice anything like constant page loses or being sent back to the main site then the server is most likely haveing "isues" so you cant do jack as for me i just got home from work and i got it to work right away today following those instructions note dont use the same directorie that i used as an example its only an example. Now dont even bother replying to this because im not gonna reply any more.

Now look, some of your posts aren't helping me at all but i'd like to thank you for trying to. Lol, some of you seem to be having a reading disability. Anyway this is EXACTLY what I did.

1.) Installed EverQuest to C:/Program Files/EverQuest/
2.) Ran the EverQuest Patcher till no more updates where available.
3.) Installed EQEmu to C:/Program Files/EverQuest/
4.) Ran EQEmu Patcher, small wait then it says, "Cannot Connect to Server" then it closes after a bar fills up.
5.) Ctrl Ced the EQHost.txt and removed my current one and Ctrl Ved the new one in.
6.) Open EQWindow, logged on EQEmu, but there is a version problem now, this will be because I have recieved the files that EQEmu Patcher is suppose to download and thats because my EQEmu Patcher won't run.

I have basically tried everything. All I need is the files that overwrites things inside the EverQuest folder so it lets EQEmu be the host instead of Sony.

Hardy
04-19-2003, 05:37 PM
3.) Installed EQEmu to C:/Program Files/EverQuest/
I don't know whats wrong, so can't help, sorry :( But I did notice your #3, you don't have to download the emu files from the main page, they are just for those that want to create a server (if you are, sorry, I didn't know). All you need is the patcher, updated eqhost.txt and EQ to play on the servers.

Valdaor
04-19-2003, 06:32 PM
You also need the Patcher to work so it can do it's part in downloading the necessary files for EQEmu to take over for you to beable to get onto the EQEmu servers and other players servers

Using the EQEmu patcher is the only way to get the files to you "legally". The patcher checks to see if you have certain EQ files and their dates so by sending you the files that way, it can't be warez because you already own EQ.

Now back to the topic.... i would take hogies advice on maybe you have a transparent proxy or some other interuption in your connection. Call up your ISP and ask them if this is true.


Dont bother trying to log in until the EQEmu patcher does its thing and downloads the "correct" eq files. if you dont, you will always get an error when you try to log in.

Valdaor
04-21-2003, 01:20 AM
I wouldn't call it an error it's more "I can't connect" issue.

Oh almost forgot, yeah i'll try giving my service provider a ring see if they know anything about this "Transparent Proxy" thing. Thanks for the advice, Shawn

Hardy
04-21-2003, 06:30 AM
Shawn is right (whats new? lol, jk :D ), patcher is the only legal approach they can do, if someone hosted the files and let you download them, that would be warez and they can get in trouble with Sony, would not be good. I might have to give my ISP a ring to, I never can connect to the patcher, I just luckily found an old backup CD that had it on there.

tfluppe
04-21-2003, 07:04 AM
So, I sent an e-mail to my ISP a few days ago to ask about the proxy thing, weel, it turns out my ISP uses one of those transparent proxy things.
Is there any way for me to get this thing to work?

Can't the admins give out just the required files to play eqemu, just the files that NEED to be changed. If they would do that, people without the game wouldn't be able to run eq.

If they won't do that, will eqemu catch up to the eqlive patch any time soon?

Valdaor
04-21-2003, 12:46 PM
Hardy, if you have MSN or an email of some sort could you please send me the files to me through MSN - kalvar200@hotmail.com or to my email addy - coulsonjl@paradise.net.nz I would prefer email if you could..

Also, I think maybe putting in an extra site, where you need to be logged in with your forum account to access a page where you can download the files that your EQEmu Patcher downloads.

Actually hes right..

Being in IT myself I can see when theres a connection issue. There are HUNDREDS of people with this problem albeit alot of them have done this incorrectly.

You say the files are located on this server? Are they located on a subdomain? I noticed a lot of people can access the main site but can't get into the forums. I personally got this working but have a few friends who cant get access. I thought originally by looking at the log files that it was trying to connect to www.foreverhacking.com and also noticed that the people having these problems where able to see the site but unable to ping the site.

Does the patcher use an address or an IP to connect? I know for a fact there are lots of people having connection issues and I do agree with those that say this is definatley a dns issue. Could we change the patcher to connect to an IP address instead of a named address? Also could we move the files to the root domain instead of having it on a subdomain if thats the case?


Thanks

Johnny5

04-22-2003, 04:16 AM
I forgot to add how I know this is a DNS issue..

When the files where on www.foreverhacking.net I noticed they where able to see the site somehow but unable to ping it in dos. Also if I gave them the ip address of the site they were NOT able to ping it.

Val or whatever your name is. Try and open up a dos box and see if you can ping www.eqemu.net . If you get unable to resolve host, you have a corrupt TCP/IP protocol and need to reinstall it. If you get bad host or no reply error message the answer is that your isp has disabled your ability to ping it. Also note that Norton also deactivates ping for security. This is both incomming and outgoing.

I know this sounds like a lot of babble, but it makes sense in my head :?

a_Guest03
04-22-2003, 04:27 AM
Most of the time, it's people with XP or antivirus complaining. XP has a built-in firewall. Also, dns didn't work for a while with eqemu.net. It could be related to that.

im pretty sure that wont happen. with all do repsect the devs probably dont give a fuck about the patcher, in other words if it works for u, great if it doesnt, then ur screwed. i'm not really sure why, of all things wouldn't the patcher be fixed first.

at least let some more people play and maybe some better databases/servers would be made or something.

I am having same problems as Valdaor, but I unable to play. I found out an idea, if your EQEmu Patcher works, look at the files it downloads, then take a copy of them from where the directory is you installed them to and zip them. Then you can possibly host them on Geocities seen that EQEmu won't do anything. Also EQEmu has to remember that technology improves everyday and that not everyone is running Windows 98 but a more reliable Windows like XP or Windows 2000 Proffessional and ME. There should be a way round these proxies, all that needs to happen is for the patcher to be hosted differently. If you can't do that, then EQEmu Patcher is screwed for 100's of us. If I could do something, I would.. Why don't you GM's show a little support in the players too. Don't get all uptight about a rude person, I know what he's going through. He just wants to have a nice game of EQEmu that you guys are suppose to provide for us.. well that's all I got to say for now.

See how sad you GM's are.. EQEmu doesn't deserve to exist. I shall inform Sony to prosecute you for legal copyright information! I hope EQEmu comes down for life. You guys are childish little shits with no respect at all. If you are going to run another EverQuest you should be responsable for everything that is going on around here. Not us, but you and stop fucking blaming all this on US. It's freakin' YOUS, NOT US!! Get that in your freakin heads.

First off, you haven't talked to a GM yet. Nor have you spoken to a developer. We are users. We only encourage following the rules. Stop whining. Out of the near year I've been following EQEMU, I have been able to play maybe 6 months of that time.

You've been following the project how long? Just wait until the update comes out... Jeez. Bunch of babies.

These guys don't owe you anything. Stop complaining! It's free, open source. If it doesn't work, fix it yourself. The devs have jobs, families, and other worries than making eqemu work for the maybe 100 people out of several 1000 that can't get it to work.

Patcher is closed source, and is controlled to avoid piracy. It sounds like it does its job too well. Don't blame us.

On the plus side, your a dumbass, which is quite amusing after a day of falling into 22 mph current.

On the negative side = All of your other text. Why, oh, why do you people post that shit? Have you nothing else to do but say "OMG THE GOVERNTMENTSA GIS GONING TO GET UUU YES THY R UR DEAD"
?

Of course you don't, god bless you.

I shall inform Sony to prosecute you for legal copyright information! I hope EQEmu comes down for life.
LOL, EQEmu has been alive for over 2 years (not sure the exact date), and I bet you Sony has know about EQEmu for all 2 years. They can't do anything about it, why? Because this project is legal.

BTW, where did all these whiners come from? I think Vald recruited em all. Used to be such a quiet board..... (with no whiners that is)

Actually you are wrong my friend..

If you read through their eula or whatever its called you will see it clearly states that connecting to another server other than those provided by sony is not allowed and you will be banned. That means EVERYONE here is breaking the rules..

Nice try though.

Actually talk to a good lawyer about their EULA. If they tried to prosecute anyone based on their EULA they would get laughed out of court. And if they came after me I would come right back after them. The only thing they dare try to hold the EULA up to is banning people. That is the only thing it is useful for.

Ever notice that all the rest of the software you install and use on your computer only presents the EULA once. That's because forcing people to agree to it more then once invalidates it. Now you're agreeing under duress.

Ummm, we'll be banned from EQLive, which few of us play. How would anyone CATCH someone who wasn't, without some warrant to invade personal information. Last I checked, person to person (coorporations are people under law) contracts that are breached aren't exactly worth a judge allowing privacy-invading tactics. Sony would waste a LOT of money to come after each of us.

EVERYONE??? I dont' play EQLive, I don't have to follow them rules, I am not breaking anything. I also just said it is LEGAL, as in, they can't take you to court.

Nice try though.

I'm not tryin to lay blame on anyone here but the everquest eula is for the use of the software as well as the eqlive servers. so eventhough you don't play on the live servers you are still violating it. i play eqemu so i'm not saying you wrong to do so, but those are the facts.

Fact is: Their EULA does not mean shit.

See how sad you GM's are.. EQEmu doesn't deserve to exist. I shall inform Sony to prosecute you for legal copyright information! I hope EQEmu comes down for life. You guys are childish little shits with no respect at all. If you are going to run another EverQuest you should be responsable for everything that is going on around here. Not us, but you and stop *** blaming all this on US. It's freakin' YOUS, NOT US!! Get that in your freakin heads.
HOLY SHIT!!! YOUR GOING TO INFORM SONY!!!! Ok, sound the alarms and alert the media!!! HIDE ALL FILES ON SOURCEFORGE!!!! THIS PROJECT MUST GO UNDERGROUND!!!

I...Why don't you GM's show a little support in the players too. Don't get all uptight about a rude person, I know what he's going through. He just wants to have a nice game of EQEmu that you guys are suppose to provide for us.. well that's all I got to say for now. Suppose to provide for you?? You have a lot of nerve.

Shame, if they want to make a server public, that means they want PEOPLE to play, so fuck up dick

Incase you didn't realize, Sony has bigger fish to fry, and they don't even care about them. Face it, as long as you've given them some form of money, that's all they're worried about.

I'm amazed at the some of the chatter here. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most of it looks like:

I really want to play EQEmu and I'm having a hard time or unable to and it's your JOB to make mine work. Furthermore, if you don't help me play this thing I really want to I'm going to attempt some petty little antic to try to make your life harder.

I really can't believe that someone with the IQ to type would have the thought process of a child. Really, look at what that saying: "You got a candy bar and if you don't give me some I'm going to tell your mom!"

Newsflash: The store owner gave the candy bar away for cleaning his sidewalk, go ask him...before or after you tell my mom, no matter to me.

Frankly, I'm guessing that most of you are trying to get into EQEmu because you got run off EQLive for begging, stealing and for being generally known as mooches. EQEmu is best off without you"in their world." For those of you seriously having problems and really looking to solve them in a civilized and adult manner.....nevermind, you are probably doing exactly that, which means you aren't whining like a 5 year old on this thread.

P.S. Naah nah naah nah

Oh, so you think my typing is good, but you think my brain functioning is a little crook. Okay, lets put you in my shoes and see how you feel. Incase your wondering:
a) I can't connect to server.
b) Good advice, but not helping.
c) GMs won't do shit = temper.
Well, EverQuest blows when hosted on an Emulated Version, but guess what guys, a game far more enjoyable (that works) is to arrive FREE, absolutely FREE of charge. This game is known as Ragnarok Online - http://www.ragnarokonline.com/ <- Check it out.
or check this out - http://www.ro.pak0.com/ <- Good information here.

Almost forgot, I don't play EQLive because you have to pay monthly.. So there you go. Money should be treasured not spoiled.

again i repeat sony doesnt CARE about EQEMU...if you admit to them you play it they have the right to ban you and not pay your money back..oh well you can STILL download the files. Wonder why the files for Ykesha were free? Ykesha you only had to pay 17$ (i did anyways) for the key thats it. Sony cannot do a damn thing to you besides ban your account and you deserve to be anyways if you go blabbing to them that you play. But they obvioiusly arent worried about their fanbase leaving because look how many players on live there are to the many (2?) emulators for eq out there....go figure

Hardy, if you have MSN or an email of some sort could you please send me the files to me through MSN - kalvar200@hotmail.com or to my email addy - coulsonjl@paradise.net.nz I would prefer email if you could..

Also, I think maybe putting in an extra site, where you need to be logged in with your forum account to access a page where you can download the files that your EQEmu Patcher downloads..

and then this:

I am having same problems as Valdaor, but I unable to play. I found out an idea, if your EQEmu Patcher works, look at the files it downloads, then take a copy of them from where the directory is you installed them to and zip them. Then you can possibly host them on Geocities seen that EQEmu won't do anything. Also EQEmu has to remember that technology improves everyday and that not everyone is running Windows 98 but a more reliable Windows like XP or Windows 2000 Proffessional and ME. There should be a way round these proxies, all that needs to happen is for the patcher to be hosted differently. If you can't do that, then EQEmu Patcher is screwed for 100's of us. If I could do something, I would.. Why don't you GM's show a little support in the players too. Don't get all uptight about a rude person, I know what he's going through. He just wants to have a nice game of EQEmu that you guys are suppose to provide for us.. well that's all I got to say for now.
