5.0 server up and running perfectly....but

[wguidry]

I can't seem to do anything.

I try #spawn and it says my level isn't high enough.

What gives? I want to create my character as GM lvl 65 maxed AA's maxed skills etc, but I cannot for the life of me figure it out. I've search, and there really isn't a cut and dry resolution to this issue. I've tried the EQEMU Admin 4.7 but all it does is corrupts my EQ database. I followed Merth's how-to but at the end where it walks you through creating the ServerOp, it just ends. He refers to having to telnet into something...my guess is the EQ DB to hard set which account contains GM/etc, but the how-to doesn't say how to do this.

Can someone explain how to first setup my serverop (me) then how to raise my levels/skills/aa's etc?

I'm ok with no mobs for the time being....I'll figure those out and items once I have the access rights on the server to do so LOL.

Cheers

if you running your own server there are 2 things i know that can fix this. Frist thing is change you account stats to 200 or 250
2 thing is look is your eqemu folder for a file called addon.ini. Open this up and change all the numbers to 0
this sould work if your running you own server

sorry for the bad grammer i havnt been feeling to good these last few days ......


anyway hope this help/

Memenerr ,

Will do, although I have set my account to 200 already....I will try the addon.ini trick.

[wguidry]

Memenerr,

Actually I just looked at my addon.ini file, and I can't see why changing everything to a value of 0 would set my Serverop status to my server, or GM status.

Just to note, I have changed my account to a 200 status. If anyone else knows of a way to get me up and running, please let me know.

As it stands, I cannot add NPC pops etc as I don't have the appropriate access.

Cheers

when you /who yourself do you come up as a Server OP?
If not then your not setting the status to 200 right.

Also RA had an issue like this back in 4.4 it turned out to be bad binaries.

I rember back a wile someone had this issue and it was because there addon.ini file wasnt being read right by the server.

May want to recompile everything just in case there was an error you missed if you cant track down the issue.

There is a bug in the #command execution. It will not work correctly with the addon.ini file. In effect it wants you to be >= the default security setting or == the value set in addon.ini...

So if you set a value in addon that makes a command intended for status 200 a status 100, then only status 100 and those 200+ can use it. 150 can't. 101-199 can't.

I posted a fix a while back http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10094

Ok,

I can't imagine anyone who is running the 5.0 server to not have anyone as a ServerOp. Or know how to do this, or know how to set someone as a GM.

Thats all I want. I just want to know how to setup ServerOp and GM's.

I can get people to connect to it fine, we can all log in, etc just need to be able to use the higher level commands in game.

Thanks again in advance.

There are several ways to change your user status. I normally just go into mysql directly and change the value in the account table. You can also use world.exe -? for syntax on how to set it there.

This section is currently being redesigned. We're making a separate source code file to handle # commands, and the delegation switch will look more logical. It may even get rid of addon.ini and go with a database table instead, but this hasn't yet been decided on.

[wguidry]

Merth, thanks for the reply.

I have done the world.exe flag "accountname" 200 and it didn't work.

How are you changing it in the DB?

Through telneting to worldip:9000??

As I've said, I've tried using EQadmin 4.7, and I'm getting the problem where it says it cannot connect to my eq db. I have changed everything in the preferences to point to the correct DB w/ correct user/pass and hostname. Once, I got it to work, and all it did was errored all over the place, and corrupted my DB.

Will wipe it all out and try again from scratch.
