I just installed EQ evolutions, and whenever I try and login it says I have too old of a version, but if I patch, then I will have too new of a version and it won't work then either. Any suggestions?

@Makwa: Hmm, well.. I haven't (and won't) used a DR yet, as I am too lazy to keep up with the patches.
That's why I am not that familiar with the newest binaries.

But tell me, your are using the 0.5.7-DR6 binaries and what configuration files?

Make sure that your eqhost.txt is read-only.


@Yiggs: I believe I had that error once, too. Unfortunately I can't remember how I fixed it. Try to pause one of the windows by pressing "PAUSE" on your keyboard during the loading. You can continue by hitting "ENTER". If you're lucky, you will be able to freeze the window right when the error appears.

I read that broken binaries can cause this.

EDIT: You probably have a problem with the EMuShareMem.dll. Try using another one.


@Tuvok: I am sorry, but will have to wait for the next binary release (not sure if the current is compatible to the newest patch) or look for a much older version of EQEmu.

Blue,

What Binaries and Configuration files are you using?

------------------

Well, here is the latest:

I finally was able to enter into the game, using EQEMu 0.5.5 DR1 and I have no idea what config files (version) i am using.

When i get into the game, spawns are all messed up, i can't zone, it says zoneproxy is not there, or something like that...says i can use third party zones.

I can't summon any items. But alot of the other commands work nicely.

I am using mw_057dr2_alpha_1.sql for my database.

But, now i am getting a loademusharedmemdll error.

Any ideas?

Any thoughts?

So it's not yet possible to host and play on your own computer if you have the June 16th patch?

@tuvok: not with the files I offer. There are more recent guides than mine, but I've already explained why this one is not up-to-date.
I may have to change it completely someday, because MiniLogin isn't supported(updated) anymore.

@Makwa:

I guess this means that your EQ is compatible (patchwise) to 0.5.5.-DR1. I've no idea why it works (well, partially) with that db though.
A loademusharedmem.dll error usually crashs the zone.exe. I guess you can consider yourself lucky?!
At least it means that the emusharedmem.dll isn't compatible to your binary versions (or MiniLogin? rather not).

Ok, i got 0.5.5 DR1 to work finally. I can summon any item in the current database...thats great.

But, alot of the new zones, dont have any mobs, and the newer zones that do have mobs, dont have any loot....only pp.

Fun playing and seeing the ubber items though.

Mysql.bat
 

When i try and run mysql.bat to do step 3 I get an error. The error is Error 2003 Can't Connect to MySQL server on 'local host' (10061).

Can i get some help plz

Can't Login
 

Hi, I've downloaded "Everquest Trilogy" , free from the official site (limited promotion) and I installed the game and all the things needed to run my server. My minilogin works fine, my word.exe too and my zone.bat too. But when I insert my Login and Password, the game says "Connecting to server, please wait..." and after a several seconds the game says "Can't connect to server, make sure you are online....etc..."

Ps.: I don't have a Internet Connection, I'm running localhost.

Anyone can helpme, I've done everything the forum says and I still get the error message. I have the latest everything and still...

Thank's a lot

can you paste your minilogin / world.exe output please?
and your eqhost.txt

Is minilogin working now if so where can i download one that will work?

Minilogin is broken AFAIK.

I have already tried everything and still nothing...

I'm running on XP, latest MySql, and I have no modem (literally).

Thanks again.

Minilogin...
 

is broken from the June 16th patch from what I understand.

@mzuppo: I can't find any mistakes in your files. I guess you have patched your EQ recently, which means that Minilogin won't work for you. :/

I wonder where could I get the eqgame.exe needed.
