Congratulations, jackfrostint. Welcome to the wonderful world of LAN EQ (LANQuest? :D).

Now that we have this working, would a modification to the MiniLogin allowing multiple logins, basically making it a LANLogin, be a difficult thing to do?

Ummmmm....I may be wrong, but isn't that what the regular Emu is for?

Not really, ibleet. What jackfrostint wants is the ability to have multiple accounts on a LAN so that we don't have the 8 character limit. By using a non-locally hosted login server, you're forced to maintain an internet connection. A locally-hosted login server would eliminate that need.

Personally, I'm satisfied with it running on my LAN as it is. A fully functional login server will be released eventually, anyway.

I'm satisfied with the way it is working as well, but i do have LAN parties nearly every weekend that 15 to 20 people attend.. It would be nice to have a LAN login server for that purpose..

heh hey binary number. havent seen ya since beginning if hackerquest. if you dont remember me its okay heh. very generic nickname here.

Sorry, Hmm. Don't remember ya :)

If someone really can't wait for a login server, they might want to take a look at the source for EthernalQuest's login server. I'd imagine it would be possible to convince it to interface with EQEmu's world servers, though some code modifications would undoubtably be necessary.

think again hehe.

I'm confused :confused:... Think again about what? The login server being released eventually? The EthernalQuest login server needing modified to interface with EQEmu world servers? Or are you saying that getting the EthernalQuest login server code to interface with an EQEmu world server is impossible?

The files section of this site says the login server isn't available for download *yet*, giving a pretty good indication that it will *eventually* be made available. As it stands, I'm imagining that the EthernalQuest login server won't interface correctly with an EQEmu world server, but with enough code modifications, ANYTHING can be done, assuming the coder has the time, brains, and motivation to make it happen.

Could you be a little more specific?

We released the login server once, and it did not go over well, not sure if it will be released soon..

anyone know how to convert Ruby to c++? lol

not really impossible. but someone skilled on ruby have to change it. since eq protocols is standard anything can be used to create login server as long as its compiable.

I wasn't involved in the EQ emulation scene for months and months until about a week ago when I became involved again, so I don't know the details on the login release... Who didn't it go over with well?

lol wuz browsin old forum posts...

Only way I could get my LAN server to work on the network was to make the boot5zones contain my network IP address and NOT localhost or 127.0.0.1

My 2 cents...

For some reason my Mysql won't even allow me to create a new database, the option after rightclicking in the Database section doesn't even show up! Anyone able to help?
