_______________________


my problem is that when i log into my minilogin setup, my server is not shown. any ideas on what may be wrong would be greatly appreciated. i have gone over a few readme files and how to's and they say that all my configuration files are up to par.. so im at a loss.

access denied
 

I tried everything you said to do as far as the grant...and I deleted my ini file and rebooted etc...I am still getting the access denied error when I run world.exe flag eqemu 200...any ideas on how to fix this?

world.exe flag......
 

Step 16. Open command prompt in the C:\Games\EQEmu\ directory & type: world.exe flag eqemu 200

I get [Database] block not found in db.ini.
Read Readme.txt...

I ran the patch and everthing . I started the emu and i log in fine but there are no worlds there to choice from help please

i have determined that there is a problem with my EMuShareMem.dll

the one i have is 277 kb

does anyone know of an updated version i could download? i have not been able to find one as of yet.

Ya, seems emushare.dll is the wrong one for 4.4

Ok i followed this guide step by step and im geting an error when i try and run the boot5zones file..this is what iv got

DB.ini

Boot5Zones Msg....this is where i get the error that shuts it down

C:\EqEmu>REM: ****Read this first!!!****

C:\EqEmu>REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "hosthere" when yo
u are connecting

C:\EqEmu>REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.

C:\EqEmu>REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say 127.
0.0.1

C:\EqEmu>REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1

C:\EqEmu>REM:--------------Start-----------------------
The system cannot find the file zoneNT.
The system cannot find the file zoneNT.
and at this point i get this error msg......

Cannot find the file 'zoneNT' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available

i click the ok button and it closes the Boot5Zones window


Not sure what iv done wrong but i reread this thread a few times and tryed to reinstall and redo everything and i just cant get it to work, can anyone plz give me a hand at this?

Yes i did run the 3 programs in the order that was given

Pretty colors

try just start zone . localhost etc...
I put the NT in there at first to and it wouldn't work

Not working for me
 

I follow all the instructions of the guide, and eventually got everything responding the way I would expect, however, after I do this:

C:\Games\EQEmu\EQGame\eqgame.exe patchme

EQ front end runs, gets me to the login screen, I log in as eqemu/eqemu and get an EqEmu error : bad username/Pass.

Any ideas?

Godsend
 

This post 'truly' was a godsend.

Thanks. Off with a new error reading through search :P

lordshaggy do you have MySQL up when you are trying to load everything up? If not that happened to me when I wasn't running MySQL and it worked when I ran it minimized.

I have my server up and running thanks to your guide, no problems there ;)

Lots of how to's for servers and the EQEmu clients but didn't see anything on LAN / WAN setups.

Also, when my friends log into my server will there game use my database or do I have to update all of there databases anytime I make a change to mine?

Only problem now is finding a fix for LAN / WAN with multiple accounts.

Thanks for any help in advance :)

Post for help can be found here.

Cant Find it.
 

"Download my original backup database from the attachment posted below (eqbackup00.zip) & install to the C:\MySQL\bin directory (overwrite = yes). "

"(This database was built using Drawde's updated DB addon (worlddata1.1.beta5). For a brief explanation, or if you wish to download these files & build the database yourself, refer to his post here: http://forums.eqemu.net/viewtopic.php?t=6912&highlight=. My instructions to follow will assume you are using my eqbackup00 file. If you opt to utilize Drawde's quest files as well, you'll need to unzip the contents of his quests0.1.zip to your C:\Games\EQEmu\ directory, using folder names to extract). "

Even when I go to this URL, I cant find the database you are talking about the "eqbackup00.zip" file. Please give me a URL. Thanks in advance.

client disconnect
 

ok, followed everything as stated. it all works great right up until i select my created character and it starts loading then gives me a mixed reading of server not responding over the top of the error you have been disconnected. this always took me back to server select screen. any ideas? it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

me stoopid
 

:? ok, fixed that. for all those peeps out there haveing similar problems or other problems, the idea is to make sure everything....thats EVERYTHING........is correct. In this case for me, in boot5zones i had put in the localhost for IP but i didn't put it on both sides, I.E...it still said YourIP on the left side. Hence the aforementioned problem. It took a couple hours reading posts and scratching my head but i found it with the help of a somewhat unrelated post. Hope this helps anyone else who needs it.

:D
