How would one set this up

[Conan]

I have been running my server now just on a single pc, how would I got about adding other pcs to host more zones?

Setup

pc I want to run world is 192.168.0.34
pc running the database is 192.168.0.35
pc I want to run some zones 192.168.0.36
pc I want to run some zones 192.168.0.37

How would I go about linking these together? does each computer have to have a static externail IP address?


I looked everywhere and just cant seem to figure it out or find a guide on how to do it.

Would this be how I would set it up?

Pc running world has these files

db.ini
# READ README.TXT!

[Database]
host=192.168.0.35(This is my database machine)
user=*****
password=****
database=eq
compression=off

Login server.ini
### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.

### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.



### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.



### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.

### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.



# READ README.TXT



[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginport=5997
worldname=Conan's World
worldaddress=(my external ip of the computer running world)
locked=false

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=


[LoginConfig]

ServerMode=Standalone

ServerPort=5999

UplinkAddress=

UplinkPort=

UplinkAccount=

UplinkPassword=


Also would have the file addon.ini

Is that all i would need for the pc running world?


Pc running database will just be hosting the database and 5 zones

so I would need what files?

Zone.exe and boot5zones.bat? Also for the first ip I put what external ip of the machine its on? and then the ip of the one running world?

boot5zones.bat

REM: ****Read this first!!!****


REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "YourIP" when you are connecting

REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.


REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say 127.0.0.1



REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1



REM:--------------Start-----------------------

@echo off



if NOT exist spells_en.txt goto NOSPELL



start zone . whattoputhere? 7995 whattoputhere?
start zone . whattoputhere? 7996 whattoputhere?
start zone . whattoputhere? 7997 whattoputhere?
start zone . whattoputhere? 7998 whattoputhere?
start zone . whattoputhere? 7999 whattoputhere?
exit

cls



:NOSPELL

echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.

PAUSE

Same for the other pcs right?

Sorry if this is hard to understand.

Hi

for your Zones try this

start zone . (external IP from PC Running World) 7995 192.168.0.34
start zone . " " 7996 192.168.0.34
start zone . " " 7997 192.168.0.34
start zone . " " 7998 192.168.0.34
start zone . " " 7999 192.168.0.34
exit

run this zone settings on both of your Zone PC's..should run fine.
your DB.ini and LoginServer.ini is ok...

[Conan]

ok so

pc 1 running world.exe

pc 2 running mysql database and 5 zones

pc 3 running some zones

pc 4 running some zones

On pc 1 I need world.exe, db.ini, loginserver.ini, addon.ini

on pc 2 I need mysql running, db.ini, boot5zones.bat, zone.exe

on pc 3 and 4 I need db.ini, bootzones.bat, zone.exe?

Am I forgeting anyfiles? After these are in place I just edit them to point to the correct locations, as you desribed above?

On pc 1 I need world.exe, db.ini, loginserver.ini, addon.ini

on pc 3 and 4 I need db.ini, bootzones.bat, zone.exe?
