Win2k Issues

[RoboDomino]

Windows 2000 is giving me hell. I try to run World.exe and the bootzone exe's, and the such like that, and what happens is that MS-DOS pops up for a second then just closes. Therefore, I can't keep my server open. The only .exe that works is minilogin, sadly.

Anyone got an idea of what's wrong?

try running them from a command prompt to see what error they are spitting out.

[RoboDomino]

On world - I quote -

"Loginserver.ini read.
Incomplete DB.ini file.
Read README.txt!"

For boot5zones.exe -

Nothing. About 2 windows open up and click off.

For zoneNT.exe -

"Incomplete DB.ini file.
Read README.txt!"

For zone9x.exe-

Same thing as NT. So, any idea what's wrong? my db.ini file is -completely filled out-.

[Baltar]

can you post you db.ini with astericks over the login/pass??

[RoboDomino]

# READ README.TXT!

[Database]
localhost=68.58.19.112
user=*******
password=************
database=eq

There you have it. This is the db.ini from \EQEMU\, mind you.

[Baltar]

looks right to me. Try changing the db ip to 127.0.0.1 (assuming your running your db on the same machine)

[RoboDomino]

Nope. Still the same deal.

[Baltar]

change localhost to host.

[RoboDomino]

Blimey! It worked! Thanks, bro :)

[RoboDomino]

Oh carp, the server is up and running on gotfrags, but I can't get into character select =( I get the "re-run the update patch" error. Damn, is it because I patched live? This means I'm screwed, right?

[Baltar]

yeah today's patch is borked.

[RoboDomino]

Any idea when EQEMU is gonna release a new version to tell this patch to 'fuck off'? :P

[Giro]

yeah... any idea ?

[Shawn319]

dunno when release will be but 0.2.6 is in testing now and works with yesterdays patch. you can play on it and test on Lyenu's Playground server, or hogiebane/Hogie's Test Server.


btw it says host=localhost in the readme so i dont blame it for saying "Incomplete DB.ini file. Read README.txt!" :)
