Did the search, read the faqs&stickies and server list e

[CorwynDriscol]

OK. Maybe it's something real simple I'm missing. I've read all the faqs, stickies and other posts. I still have an empty server list when I run the game. I'm using minilogin because I just want to run it on my home machine so I can go exploring the world.

I'm running a Win98 OS, P4-1.8, 512 meg ram. Ample drive space, nvidia video card. (EQ runs fine without emulation)

I've tried switching localhost with 127.0.0.1 in all kinds of different combos. I have the mysqladmin tool loaded and running in the background. There are no errors when I run minilogin.exe

world.exe says some stuff, but it closes so fast I can't read it.

the boot5zones.bat flies by too, but window that remains has no errors, just the REM statements.

The fate of the universe is in your hands. Thanks.

sorry. I quoted the wrong part.
I'm not an idiot. really.
:oops:

[Strumiker]

to find out what errors yer getting, use a command prompt in windows instead of just running the program.

START > Run > Command > OK

then goto your EQEmu directory and run world.exe from there, the window won't go away. let me know what the dealio is and we can try to help you :)

[CorwynDriscol]

Wow. Look at all the errors. Thanks for the tip and the help.
Here's what it gives me.

[Strumiker]

the most evident would be that it is not able to see the mysql server. which version of it are you running? i had some issues using the newest version of it. currently i'm running the 3.23 production version and i don't have any problems.

contact me on irc or icq/aim/yahoo/msn and i can try to help you through if you got problems

[CorwynDriscol]

I'm running MySQL 3.23.56

[CorwynDriscol]

OK. I must have changed something (extra space maybe) and hopefully have gotten myself closer. Here is what I have now when I run world.exe


C:\eqemu\EQEMU>world

[CorwynDriscol]

I got it!!! Woohoo.

Here's what I had to do (as close as I can remember). In my boot5zones I had to keep it as localhost and not 127.0.0.1, but the main thing was to download the 44dr1.zip file which contains a version of the dll that works with win98.

I'm off to rule a world.

Thanks for the help.
