then from command line running eqgame.exe patchme
connects all good select sever and hit play
then loads a sec and says error 1017

I'm assuming you read the post, as I did, about "if you get error 1017, try this" and found that not to solve the error that you're most likely getting with minilogin. Bummer. Me too. I'm about to try something different. MOHAA just recommended I try his "best local lan setup I can make" post in the "Tutorials and how-to's" section. You might also want to read the extra bit of advice he told me in reply to my post "Does v4.2 db.sql work by itself?" in the Win32 support. Myself, I've been working on this for over a week now, about to give up. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I haven't actually reinstalled Everquest since I reinstalled Windows fresh on my computer, wiping out my old configuration (mind you, I have directx 8.1 and all my drivers updated). I'm just running EQ from the program files\Everquest folder without an official re-install. It always worked before like that, playing Eqlive or Eqemu. When you're running out of combinations of things to try, these are the kinds of things that run through your mind. More likely though, is you and I should be trying Eqemu 0.4.1 with telmet's database, like MOHAA recommended.

Code?
 

What do you mean by, download the lastest code?
What code and where is it?

Please reply to this!
Thanks,

Patching EQ
 

I have the original game cd. Is it possible to download a patch so that I don't need to connect to the EQ Servers to update?

thanks man

Just wondering where I can get eqgame.exe patchme... not really sure what it is and the current version of EQW doesnt work.

Thanks,
Sephik

LOL, nm on the patchme question.. heh

Having a smalll problem when I run world.exe ... everything else is working fine...

after running minilogin.exe I get then world.exe I get:

.......
The <IP> obviously is my IP, just didnt include it in the coding..

Any ideas on what is going wrong here? I am running EQEmu 0.4.3 and I am pretty sure all my files up to date.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sephik

Problem solved.

Thanks

i've followed all these steps and still end up lost
 

I've had to modify a few things he told us to do, cause they weren't working.. IE: Right click on my name is databases and create one called EQ.. I found out how to do that, but got stuck a few other times...

Could someone AIM me? dtKurbytb. thank you!

No Server
 

Hi when I log in to the game I look on my server windows and there are no servers? Everything works fine other than that anyone able to help me?

MYSQL = Not working for me!
 

Hello, I recently tried to make my own server, but i am running into one problem...MYSQL, doesn't work. I followed sticky's easy server thing on the forum, did everything it says to do. The problem is everytime I download it, I open it then it just shutsdown. So what i did was remove it then redownloaded from another source from the same site, and still it keep heppening.

If anyone has any suggestions please e-mail me at Sikrna@yahoo.com :D

mhh this thing realy works somehow but when i try to conect to my server i get an error 1042 ... "cant login wrong language pack" wth is that???

Is your EQ english or French or Spanish or German? If it's not the english one, you're in Scheisstown.

EQ english version :/
