Portable EQEMU Server
I made this for someone on the forums that wanted help setting up a server, so I figured I would also post it here in case someone else might find this useful. This version is public login with latest Binaries and CVS PEQ DB from 10-15-08.
I also have the The Minilogin Version using Angelox's DB if anyone wants that, well here is the PM. OK here is the Server I said I would setup for you, Let me explain a few things first. All credit for this Idea goes to John Adams I just Remade it and added a program to start the servers. With this repack you will not need to install MYSql or Perl, its already good to go, you will need to have .net framework 2.0 though.
~LL~ EDIT; HERE is the newer version of the GUI that contains both PEQ and AX_CLASSIC |
Your link for the server download doesnt work. just thought i'd tell ya.
Good work and thank you |
Good work. This will be handy! :)
|
Can I have the mini login verision of this?

I also have a launcher that goes with it, it has an update feature and alot of other settings that can be set through the options menu or the settings.ini file. It is mainly used for minilogin users that play over the internet, so not sure if you could use it or not. Here is is if you need/want it . |
leslamarch;
I have a few questions ; do you have an ax_classic version of the minilogin install? , you're work is always great stuff, I'd like to get it if possible and post for download at my web site. Also I noticed you mentioned the PEQDB editor, and I wonder if it is up to date with the latest databases? I keep ax_classic compatible with source, so things like PEQDB editor will work too (I use it a lot still, great for quick fixes). If so, could you post a copy? Thanks! |
Leslamarch,
What is the stock password to the mysql server that is started on the local machine? |
@ Richardo the user name and password for all of these
UN = root, pass = mangos I'm going to list the downloads here real quick. AXClassic = -=HERE=- PEQ Mini = -=HERE=- PEQ public = -=HERE=- EQlauncher = -=HERE=- if you have any more questions I'll try and an swer them as I check in. EDIT; This is the newest version that contains both AX_CLASSIC and PEQ For Mini-Login - you are able to choose a database, and migrate characters from one databse to another. |
Yeah I am 100% moron. :)
I forgot to check the config file. Lol! I installed this for a friend of mine that wanted to setup a server. |
I am having trouble with the minilogin - I get to server select screen, seee the server on their, but it does not allow me to login. It kicks me back to login screen when I try to log into the server. Is there anything that I may be doing wrong, or some settings I should double check. After I started the EQemu server I wanted way logner than 5 minutes to try to... this is what the window says

ryder911,
download the axclassic again , but unistal the old one first and post back with the results |
Les, I just have to say - you really did good with this one! This is an excellent install kit. You have thought about everything; the back up features, account ip updates, etc. All very well done.
By providing stuff like this to the users, everyone gets a chance to play, regardless how much they know about the mechanics of it all. Thanks for prepping me an 'AX_CLASSIC' version, it's posted at my web site for who ever wants to try a different flavor DB. |
I got it working on my laptop, not on my PC yet, but Im sure Ill figure it out. I was wondering if it is possible to edit regen rates and things like that?

Just make a new connection and use the host address as localhost and the user name and password, root / manogs The table you would be looking for will be the rule_values |
Lol well i'm glad you saw my comment.. been waiting forever for this DL. TYVM:)
|
Quick question: I have tried using bots and it seems that they do not work. I can spawn the mand equip them with items, but they would not listen to all of my commands and would not engage in combat. Is this a bug ? or do i have to make a change to something on the DB to make them work?

updated 11-17-08
hello,
More info and help on this can be found here I have a new release that is current as of today. "11-17-08" I added many new features to this one, with some great Ideas and help from Angelox. This repack will offer a choice of 2 databases, axclassic and peq. You will be able to switch between the 2 anytime you wish, plus in the dbtools you can also transfer back and forth with your bots and characters. Lets say you have several characters on AXClassic and want to test out the PEQ database, you would just go into your dbtools and select option 2 or 3 depending on what way you want to transfer the characters/bots. The dbtools will still function just as they did in the last release just added some extra option for the double db support. We also are working a few more options that should make things even easier, I just wanted to get this out so people can test it and leave me feedback one way or the other http://forums.nahunta.org/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif any questions or problems dont hesitate to post them here and i'll answer then as soon as i get to them. Here is the download link DOWNLOAD NOW! |
Les;
I updated some of your posts here and placed new links to your latest GUI download. |
Leslamarchs Server Re-Pack Updated
This is a full, standalone auto-install of the whole Emulator and all its components , you should need nothing else. It includes both AX_CLASSIC and PEQ versions (you can alter from one to another, migrate characters) of the database, has back up/restore, and even more features.
It is the easiest way to go, if you just want to play (and not become an OS Guru). It even helps you with the desktop short cut needed for the client. Download it here |
Leslamarch's newest server re-pack will now also include and fully install the revised PHP editors .
The complexity of installing the PEQ PHP Editor is vanished too :) |
A lot of people who are using Leslamarch's install package, then for whatever reason, trying to change settings by following other posted instructions/ guides, which in turn creates problems.
You can't do that with this install kit, you'll just screw up the install if you do. It's best to have everything EqEmu related completely removed/uninstalled (MySql too). If you already have a \Maps directory, keep it as that is a big download, and you'll need it later on. If you are having problems with 'spells not landing' , it's because your \Maps directory is still empty and you need to add those. (You can find them posted at my web page). Since \Maps is over a Gigabyte in size, I linked PEQ and AX_Classic Maps with Junction.exe so I could save some space. Since Leslamarch used the common 'localhost' ip (127.0.0.1), this means you probably can only play one account at a time on the Lan, He had to do this so it would be compatible for all users (you all have a localhost ip). The idea is to make it as easy as possible, so anyone can have a shot at the Eqemu emulator, and play. Again, if you have any questions or problems on this install, don't go looking for guides and posts; you have to ask Leslamarch. You really should not have any problems with his install package. You can also request things you think might be helpful for this kit. |

Les, you are a shining example of goodness and well intent. :) As opposed to me, who could have released my repack 2 years ago except for all the shit that was thrown at me for even suggesting the idea. But today is a different day for Emulators, and even the stoggiest EQEmu old schooler may be able to appreciate Repacks.
Thanks for taking this public (and the honorable mention), regardless of how much work you now have to do supporting it ~snicker~ One suggestion, though I think you intentionally left Maps out to keep the size down... the original "Raahvin PEQEmu Repack" was turn-key, no config, complete with PEQEditor php. If you can manage that, you might save yourself some pain. |
So I downloaded the Repack from the link in the first post of this thread.I installed it,grabbed the maps and put them where they go,and fired up the server.Everything seemed to work fine,so then I started up my client and was able to log into my own server which was listed on the public login server list.I am able to creat characters just fine,but everytime I go to enter the world, I see "Entering mines of gloomingdeep" and then my zone.exe pops up an error window saying it needs to shut down,and my client gets DC'd.If I leave it go,the zone.exe keeps restarting itself and giving the error window over and over.
I also tried to log into the server from a different computer too,but that also crashed the zone.exe on the server's computer.I don't have much computer knowledge,which is why I didn't post logs(I tried to copy/paste them but the log window wouldn't let me copy from in it for some reason),and I know that you guys don't want to answer 8 million support questions about the repack,but if I could get any kind of suggestions or input it would be greatly appreciated :) . I thought I read somewhere on the forums that tutorialb wasn't made to be the starting zone on the repack,could that have anything to do with my problem? Also,if anyone can explain to me how to post logs,I could post them too. Thx in advance for any help :D |
great stuff here folks =)
have a question, Im using the most recent (i assume?) version of the porta-emu from Angelox's link on 11-29-2008.( tried using a couple other older links as well to ether no avail or same result btw) it works great and im extremely impressed with all the extras worked in, however is this supposed to be offline/minilogin only now? not sure if its somthing obvious im missing or what but i cant make it install a public server. I read a post stating that the common steps used to alter a server setup will likely not work as this package isnt designed to be altered in some ways. being as how ive had no luck switching things over (as that post implied hehe) to public i figured it cant hurt to bad to ask, what are the exact steps required to create a public login from this installer or do you wonderful folks have any plans to rerelease the public creator version? ( i saw above where Leslamarch linked the public version but its now a dead link for me at least.) this is an awesome tool though. saves so much hassle of tracking down the exact right version of perl & mysql everytime which is where ive made mistakes i donno how many times hehe. |

The link Angelox post is always up-to date with current releases, I have been trying to get versions out once every week or so. This depends on the activity of the SVN though. |
wow fast reply time! :)
thanks for the info Lesla, this really is a sweet tool! glad to know it wasnt me doing somthing silly for the reason i couldnt get public to work. (usually its my fault, if i ever start coding i dread my horrible simple mistake habit!) will keep watch in case you ever go public again, but definately putting this to use next minilogin install. too too awesome. |
Would it be possible to insert a different database, say Irreverent's Solo server database into this stand-alone set up? assuming that the DB in question was compatible with the Emu version ofcourse

would it be possible to insert a database switch selector in the GUI for this additional database? possibly taking the place of AxClassic?, just renaming the database and sliding into place instead of the Axe database?

If you have problems let me know and i'll make one for your DB. |
If i run into any problems ill let you know. Thanks so much Leslamarch, you are so helpful.

I was wondering if it was posible to use editing tools from http://wizardportal.dyndns.org/eqemu/eq.html? with portable emu install? Just curious as it would allow me to use more tools that aren't in the phpadmin(mostly seeing icons and item Graphics.

Sweet :D now that I know they work figuring out how to make them work doesn't seem so hopeless.
~thanks leslamarch |
