Compiled source and combined database
 

Back again, I've recieved alot of great comments and requests so I've decided to use the very small amount of spare time to once again help out the newcomers to EQEMu. I have a new website that I will host everything on. Source, Compiled code, sql, and some new tools for eqemu will be available soon. Thanks once again. :)

All EQEMu files and programs have been taken down. Thanks for all your support. Hope to rejoin everyone sometime in the future. Peace out... :D

Hey all,

In an effort to help ease the pain of newcomers I decided to host the latest compiled source code and sql for quick and easy installations. I compile the latest cvs releases and update them as nessicary. I also combined the MW_057DR2_alpha_1 database release with the many small updates and Govtcheese's faction updates. The setup program is ment for new users who would like a windows for to easily modify the ini/bat files. It still requires alot more work but hopefully it will become a tool for quick, easy, self-installing eqemu's. For install steps read the README.txt. If you have a problem leave me a private message. Visit eqemu.chiroplus.ca for a listing of eqemu files.

Thanks for those packages, blastoma.
I installed all on my EQEmu server, and they work fine.

When you install the PERL enabled server (which is needed to run the quests i think), you need also to download ActivePerl from http://www.perl.com

The server is a 0.5.7-DR6.
The databases package sources fine, without beeps. I installed the databases with:
(I needed the "insert into" stuff because I am running this as a local server with minilogin).

The mob logic and population seems to be not quite ready yet:
- No mobs in uqua, inktuta (probably no mobs in other high end GoD zones either).
- The factions seems to be a bit too "unkos". Freeport guards, western wastes dragons and other mobs, seems to be all indiff or dubious. The only KoS mobs I found was VP dragons. I was a DE Wiz with SolRo faction myself.
- Mobs seem to have a bit too little HP, I could nuke WW and old world dragons to 20% with one single SoS (2740 hit).

Anyone got more eqlive style faction databases?

Things should shape up to be more eq-live like once the next db is released. (www.ProjectEQ.net)

As for the faction I noticed that too, I used v0.4 faction from govtcheese. I havent looked at it but its possible it could not have sourced right on my end, Ill check and update it.

Also, soon to be released, installer/walkthrough program to get your ini and .bat files setup correctly. From me, compiling code and editing ini files and db's and stuff is easy as pie. But for new people that come around just to play around by themselves or with some friends... they dont want to sit there and figure out every little setting. (Although they should imo :))

So I look forward to finishing it up, maybe be up before the end of the day.

Added server setup program.

Targeted at new users who wish to use a windows form to quickly and easily setup the ini/bat files. Also, it can copy your spells .txt files from your everquest directory for you if your too lazy. :)

Ultimatly I hope to develop a program in which will help new and expirenced eqemu users to quickly and easily setup/update a server.

If you have a problem just leave me a private message.

Using the compiled World.exe that you have it is refusing to connect to the login server, it just stops after

World server listening on: localhost:9000

Any ideas on how to remedy?

Are you using the minilogin.exe? If so, then this setup doesnt really support that ..... yet. :)

If your trying to setup a server to work thru the eqemu login servers then your going to need to change that localhost to your real ip address.

So grab your ip and re-run the program. Fill everything out like you did before. Once your at the "EQEMu Server" section, where it says "Server IP", enter your real IP. Not 127.0.01 or localhost.

Blastoma, while im no longer a developer here, I will tell you this.

By you releasing the binary's YOU get to answer ANY/ALL support questions related to them. EQEMu devs/helpers offer no help in binaries passed arround by other people. And is generaly NOT a good idea to run any binary not given out by a developer.

All n00b questions To Blastoma please.

Yeah I'm aware of that. I dont mind at all.

Updated with latest 06-21-04 cvs release.

Also fixed perl plugin in 06-16-04 release.

You can find the guide to install PERL onto your server at:

Is it me or are the links not working?

:D

They work for me.

I am nearly completed an all-inclusive installer for eqemu. By the time I'm done it should automatically download and install perl, Mysql 4.0.20, compiled eqemu, eqemu sql database, and run you through a series of steps to setup your server. Also, I hope to complete a patcher for un-edited cvs releases sometime in the future.

Keep your eye on this thread for updates. (will also put it in 3rd party tools when done)

Make it have options to install perl and mysql... in case you already have it. :)

I have mysql ready, but not perl (which is just as easy).

I figured some people may not want to download the full 20mb for mysql so I skimmed it down to a very basic package. Just enough to run eqemu.

The setup program will still be a little rough but I hope to include as many options as possible without sacrificing simplicity.

Setup might be available before the night is out. :)

New server setup program available Here (68 k).

Features:

*Automatically downloads/extracts latest precompiled EQEMu release.
*Automatically downloads/installs latest precombined SQL Database release.
*Automatically downloads/installs MySQL 4.0.20a (minimal).
*Assists in ini/bat setup for your server.

Note: Only tested in Windows XP Pro. If you encounter any problems please let me know with a private message.

Updated with latest (06-26-04) cvs release.
Updated SQL database with 'unknown008=1'. (right click items should work again)

how do you actually use that programme? i downloaded and clicked it , and it wouldnt load

Need an active connection to the internet for sure. And .net framework 1.0 at least. The setup program is very rough. I have a much better and smoother program in the works but will take awhile to finish up.

If the setup doesnt work for you then I suggest that you download a compiled source and run through the setup steps in the readme. With all the documentation found on these forums it isnt that hard to do.

If your getting an error message of some sort then send me a private message of the error your getting.

Updated with 07-03-04 cvs release.

Had used your previous version and it worked a treat :) Lets hope this goes nice and simple for me :p

Any problems make sure you leave a message. Thanks! :D

does this newest upgrade have the latest loots? My current db doesnt have a lot of the high end god armour

No, this is the basic MW_057DR2_alpha_1 database that only has items up to planes of power. You will either need to get an item dump sql file and update your items in the mysql database OR wait till another database is released. I believe www.projecteq.net is working on another release, keep an eye on their forum/website for any new releases. Naturally, if a new database is released I will have a copy here ready for you to download once it becomes available.

I know alot of people here have tried the eqemu setup program. If anyone has any suggestions on what they would like to see included/changed in it then please let me know. I have a new version that I am working on that will include detailed help on setting up your server, as well as setup for your in-game gm command levels.

Feel free to post suggestions here or just leave me a private message. Thanks!

the links wont work for me

Make sure that if your copying the shortcut and paste it into another browser that you preserve the character casing. The server is sometimes case sensetive. The links work so its something on your end. :)

http://www.chiroplus.ca/EQEMu-Compiled-07-03-04.zip i copy that link and put it in my web adress and it comes up with cannot find server

works fine for me :)

does anyone know why the links do not work for me..? can someone send me the compiled 7-3 version to rac3r101@sbcglobal.net

geeez...thanks for the time you've put into this blastoma. makes me wish i had something to contribute as well...just wanted to say it certainly doesn't go unappreciated...

Glad to help in any way I can. If there is anything I can do to help anyone dont hesitate to ask.

Im looking to further eqemu by providing an administrative interface. Some goals I hope to achieve is running commands from outside of your server, managing accounts, server options, seeing statistics about your server, etc. I have heard some talk about this and am not sure if anyone is currently working on a project like this. In any event, once completed I hope it will prove to be a valuable resource to new and experienced eqemu admins.

As usual, keep your eye here for updates. :!:

blastoma: i believe the program you are referring to is called EQAdmin :P

I am familiar with EQAdmin. A great program but I wanted more functionality. Windcatcher did a fantastic job with EQAdmin. But my approach is actually a little bit different.

Updated with latest cvs source downloads.
Updated with 07-10-04 cvs release.

Enjoy!

Added eqemu.chiroplus.ca to mirror cvs releases and to keep a list of compiled eqemu releases, sql files, and misc programs. Any problems just leave me a private message. Thanks! :D

I think theres something wrong with the faction in your combined DB, Qeynos guards give no hits when they are killed.

Ok, I will take a look and see whats going on there.

Updated with 07-17-04 cvs release.
