Where?

Having same issue, everything compiled perfectly, got everything running with no errors, but when I went to run everquest, and after i typed eqemu:eqemu for username:password, and hit login, it just crashes to desktop. What now? And what do you mean by bad IP or port? they are local, should that matter?

Man I wish this would be answered so I could play already :(

tried to "insert" account eqemu ?

Is there a space at the end of the line in miniloginaccounts.ini?

It should read, "localhost eqemu eqemu_", where that underscore represents a space.

Read my response to Merq regarding the space in the file.

Ports do matter. Even though you are connecting to your local machine, you still need to listen and connect to the correct ports. post your loginserver.ini and boot5zones.bat.

minilogin ist listening on 5999

I'll post all the outputs :D

hmm, well, the command warnings are the only difference between your zone.exe and mine, how do i fix that? i did a world add user name password 250. That just might be the issue.

try to change the "localhost" in *.ini and *.bat files to "127.0.0.1"

That was the first thing I tried, still no go, its just strange to me that on the boot5zones.bat that he got no command defaulting errors like I did, I followed the guide exactly. could that be causing that?

Here is all my .ini files as of now:

db.ini:
[Database]
host=127.0.0.1
user=eqemu
password=eqemu
database=eq
compression=off

Loginserver.ini:
# READ README.TXT
[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginport=5999
worldname=blah blah blah
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
locked=false

[WorldServer]

Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=

UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

[chatchannelserver]
chatserver=127.0.0.1

Miniloginaccounts.ini:
127.0.0.1 eqemu eqemu_<-the space is there

Thanks for all the help.

oops, heres my boot5zones.bat too

Well NOW it says trying to connect to server, but then says check your internet connection. EVerything connects and listens, but now it just can't connect to my computer. Any reason why? =(

I'm referring to when you press "Login" in EQ, that's where it says connecting, then doesn't work.

,,,,,,,,,,,,
 

yeah im just kinda curious WHY when i do this and try and get on eqgame.exe crashes??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.. any help is appreciated

Now you're where I am. When you get that part of the problem fixed, let me know =)

That was towards Pyrix.
