Um it really did violate both and I'm not getting nasty so don't make me go there with the end of story line Melwin. I'm staying on topic and have not violated any Forum Rules. So please do not take a fatherly tone with me when I did nothing wrong as far as rules, ethics, or attitude go.
Secondly, then what can we do to implement something for local servers or is there a piece of the module that would not give out your login authentification that we could build upon ourselves, this is merely a request, I have not demanded anything. Keeping it real and not upset. No others should take my posts as such, since their not meant to be taken that way. Darkwaters |
I don't mind a PM answer if you'd like to keep it out of forums. But I would appreciate some type of detailed and kind answer not a slam me in the face type, please.

Putting out a minilogin is low priority right now. That's why there isn't one out. The reason the old one is not released is because the author doesn't want it released. That's all there is to it.
I'm free to put "End of story" at the end of the story, by the way, especially when you decide to throw out assumptuous statements like Quote:

From CVS as instructed on this website two files are a portion of the CVS code: Loginserver.ini and Loginserver.h
Now that you happen to have this much available the module associated with it should be obtainable or this portion of the application is useless. Code:
/* EQEMu: Everquest Server Emulator Code:
void LoginServer::SendInfo() { Darkwaters |

Again as I stated above I did not state anything rudely, only very curious as it would be a total blast to have a lan party something that I am quite capable of with 6 systems in house on its own network. I understand that minilogin was and is unavailable but there has to be something made available when the world.exe expects that LoginServer portion of code using LoginServer.ini would have an available "module" to connect too. Since that was minilogin's intent and it was made available why not allow a small team to work on such a project with whatever documentation or code would not harm your own application since we're forced to use something that used to be freely available for Local Usage. Again I am only curious, you can PM if you'd like and I would stop asking questions if I got that actual answer I am asking for. When will this be available realistically less than month since it was offered as a free add-on module for local use or can I work with someone to build such a beast, I have the time. Darkwaters |
I'm not sure if anyone currently has any plans to make a working minilogin, so feel free to make one yourself.
You don't need the loginserver to run world.exe and have zone.exe connect to world. This is why it doesn't violate GPL. GPL has no statement about usability. |
Thank you for the answer and it was really all I was asking for. You answered about the GPL and you answered Why and you gave me go ahead to work on it. I again appreciate your response and will work on this as soon as I eat.
PS. No hard feelings for repetitive questions, its a natural habit of mine. =) Darkwaters |

But now : What were EQEMu's original author's wishes (those who put EQEMu under GPL) ? Wasn't it to have free software ? (as in FREEDOM, i don't care the h*** if it saves me $12.99 a month on one hand). Freedom, libert |

This is unprofessional and once again is a prime example of action people are condeming the Devs for doing wile its ok for others to do it. |
This thread sucks and serves no purpose.
The loginserver source will not be released, and the original author of minilogin does not wish for the source to be released. Thread locked. Arguing is pointless, because it will change nothing. |
