I'm a Newbie few quick questions

[Gaoes]

this EQemu looks pretty sweetl, im gonna be living in a house with 18 rooms and 24 people.....yea big lan party, naw but i was thinking of starting a server and such but have a few questions...


1) when you start a server are all the quests/items from EQlive there or is it like a barron world

2) is there any way to transfer a character from one server to another, cuz GM's seemed to be able to edit characters on Eqlive

3) can you edit the experiance awarded, mob hps etc etc....i was thinking if we are gonna host our own server there might not be a lot of people for a while so maybe we suit the mobs risk/reward to our needs.....

4) oh yea my other favorite site is www.sharereactor.com and there is some discussion there about the graphics being bad or something, i've played eq for a couple years, is the eqemu ones worse the the eqlive?
any responce would be cool thanks guys

Set up a big LAN server like that is going to be hard! lol
you have to get the IP of ever computer abd create a user name a password per IP, also you might want to get everone on your LAN a IP if you need help with this let me know


i run a 1-50 player LAN server ( it is a pain in the ass lol )

It takes 7 computer 2 login servers 1 for world and 4 to run 25 zone.exes (100 in all

[Gaoes]

i got my server up ....woot....reading the boards for 2 straight days paid of!! :P

who knows if anyone else can see it...hehhe

i just got eqemu and havnt been able to patch =/ is there anyway, besides those that the moderators dont want shared/talked about to be able to play on my server..?

last question for the moment i promise hehe can you play on the same comp that your hosting on? i'd imagine that would create lag or whatever but if its just one person or whatever.../shrug

anyway any help is always appreciate ty ty

[Memener]

yea you can play on the same computer. but if your just playing by your self just run 2 zone.exe and chgane all of the ips to 127.0.0.1 and have a good single play verson of EQ like morrwind

[Gaoes]

but can i do that without having to use the eqemu patcher?

[mattmeck]

What Patcher? There isnt any Patcher.

[Gaoes]

right my point, is when i try to log in it says it is the incorrect version, probly can't update w/o the patcher and its quite obbious that the patcher is down, so my question is can i play on my own local server w/o having to "patch" "upgrade" "change" the files in my eq folder

[mattmeck]

Search is your friend and he would like you to give him a visit.
This question has been covered more times then i care to rember.

Before I answer your question, I want to hammer out a trend I have been seeing on the forums lately. What are the exact search strings you have searched on to try to resolve this problem? I need to know the exact strings so I can make sure search returns the most relevant links for the problem at hand. Thanks for any help you can give!

[Gaoes]

uhh i guess what i'm getting at is that is there anyway to play around with the DB and then test it using EQemu prefferably thru a lan.............i guess the tone i'm catching is NO but if its not if you could point me a the thread of the proper search string that would be super! cuz i obviously have yet to find it =/

[FIRESTARTER]

Memenerr, thanks for your help, straight to the point without the flame or the BS, thats the way it should be 8)
