Help =\
 

I followed the Windows_install_guide down to the Boot5zones.win9x part...when i run this everything runs ok and then its supposed to say:
Using database 'eq' at localhost
Loading items & NPCs...Done.
Spells loaded from 'spdat.eff'.
Loading guild ranks...done.
Connected to worldserver: YourIP:Port
Entering sleep mode


but instead it says:
Using database 'eq' at localhost
Loading items & NPCs...Done.
Spells loaded from 'spdat.eff'.
Loading guild ranks...done.
WorldServer connect: Conecting to the server failed. Error: 10061
InitWorldServer failed
Entering sleep mode



I cant figure out what do.....someone please help me.

Make sure your loginserver.ini is set up, and make sure minilogin is running. :D

Does World need to be open too?

yes make sure you open world up after minilogin and before zone :D

Ok brb gonna try it

Saionce

hmmm
 

Its still not working.....i hate to bother you like this but i really wanna start playing the EMU ya know?


LoginServer:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin.gotfrags.com
worldname=Bristlebane
locked=false
worldaddress=
account=
password=


DB:

# READ README.TXT!

Boot5zones.win9x

@echo off

exit

I open minilogin:
Login server listening on port:5999

World:

LoginServer.ini read.
Using database 'eq' at localhost
Loading guild ranks...done.
World server listening on port:9000
Connected to LoginServer: eqlogin.gotfrags.com:5999

Boot5zones.win9x

Loading guild ranks...done.
WorldServer connect: connecting to the server failed. Error: 10061
InitWorldServer failed

worldname is what you want your server's name to be, make sure the ip addresses in that file are right.

?
 

The ip in the Boot5zones.win9x?

had a question about that.....do i turn ALL of the 127.0.0.1's into my ip address? or just one or something.
:confused:
[from the install guide]
3) Edit Boot5Zones.bat (right click it and hit EDIT, then change 127.0.0.1 to your IP)

3b) Run Boot5Zones.bat (You no longer need to have a zone up, only [empty zoneservers]) is he refering to the minilogin?

You have this:

LoginServer:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin.gotfrags.com
worldname=Bristlebane
locked=false
worldaddress=
account=
password=

Change it to this:

LoginServer:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin.gotfrags.com
worldname=Bristlebane
locked=false
worldaddress=216.176.14.101
account=
password=

Also, it is not wise to post your database password and username here. Use stars (****) instead. Everyone will know what you mean.

Grrr
 

its giving me a different error now
its saying

Using database 'eq' at localhost
Loading items & NPCs...Done.
Spells loaded from 'spdat.eff'.
Loading guild ranks...done.
WorldServer connect: Conecting to the server failed. Error: 10065
InitWorldServer failed
Entering sleep mode


*edit*

Ok i think i figured it out...my ip changed...let me change all of em real quick and ill let ya know how it goes

w00t

Hope this helps you.

Not a problem. Glad I could actually help out :)

WTF
 

When i get to the login screen it says

Incorrect version!!
run the patch program to ensure you have the current version......wtf is going on now?

I was afraid that was going to happen to you. If you patched since 2/12/02, then you will NOT be able to use the emu. The latest patches are incompatible. You can, however, play on gotfrags. Until a new version is released, that is all you can do. Sorry :(

how?
 

how do i play on gotfrags?
do i change it from bristlebane to gotfrags?

read my post about the port
 

read my post about the port, and change your eqhost.txt to that. it *should* fix the problem. enjoy!

You need this as your eqhost.txt file:

[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin.gotfrags.com:5997"
}

[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin.gotfrags.com:5997"
}


After which, run the following command from a command prompt:

eqgame patchme

Hehe
 

might be easier just to go get my eq cd and reinstall it into a different directory and run it from there ;)

so where do i type in eqgame patchme? in a dos command thingy right?..im not familiar with dos

saionce = n00b ;)

how do i go about doing that =)

*sigh*
 

how do i use the command prompt?

Simplest way I know of:

Click on Start
Click on run
Type command
Press enter
type cd \progra~1\everqu~1\
press enter
type eqgame.exe patchme
press enter

grr
 

forget it it isnt working...gonna get my kunark cd and re-install it and see if that works:mad:

Thanks
 

Thanks for all your help guys.....hopefully with the older files itll let me login =).....maybe ill see ya in game......dont know how it works yet but *shrug*


Saionce
:D

w00t w00t
 

i saw rashi's (sp?) post and it said to change my eqhost thing to something else i tried it and it worked...i can log onto the emu finally....thanks a ton!
