No Servers Listed
 

I know this must be an easy one to answer I hope :-) Everything seems to be working fine....I run the emu and login with eqemu but at the server select screen there aren'tany servers listed to join. And I'm using the new local login too. Any ideas?

when I run world.exe I the top line says
"Block not found in loginserver.ini"
Maybe thats the problem....but how do I fix it?

Here's the way I did it:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=Your IP (eg. 192.168.1.x or equiv.)
worldname=Server Name
locked=false
worldaddress=
account=
password=

Make sure to put this in your eqhost.txt file:

[Registration Servers]
{
"Your IP:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"Your IP:5999"
}

and finally, do this to your zone startup file:

start zone . Your IP port Your IP

These are the only modifications I did, and I had it running on my first attempt. I'm even running the server part on a machine by itself, and the client on another, as it really should heheh

Hope this helps.

Okay well I tried everything down to editing the zone. I'm not sure how to edit that, but its still not working right...I can't see any servers at all.

Post the contents of your configuration files and I'll see if I can come up with a solution.

Login.ini

[LoginServer]
loginserver=192.168.1.101
worldname=Luclin
locked=false
worldaddress=
account=
password=

EQhost.txt

[Registration Servers]
{
"192.168.1.101:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}

sounds like you don't have an address in worldserver=

I've got the same problem, i cant get the server to show up at all. I've tried many different configs of the login server ini but so far its not showing.

Only thing i can think it could be is the new client and .dll I've just downloaded today. It updated/overwrote the one I got when 2.0 came available (a few days ago).

-J-

Definitely is the problem. Something has to go there, either 127.0.0.1 or you 192.168.1.101 IP. I use my 192 IP there, but then I use two computers.

Where do I add that, host.txt or login.ini?

this is my loginserver.ini:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
worldname=The Dreaming
locked=false
worldaddress=192.168.1.101
account=eqemu
password=eqemu

and this is my eqhost.txt

[Registration Servers]
{
"192.168.1.101:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"192.168.1.101:5999"
}

Please note that 192.168.1.101 is the LAN address of my server, any instance of that could be the external address if I weren't just running in local test mode now.

okay going to test this now. :)

awesome hope it works out for ya

I thought for sure that time it would work, but it still doesn't list any servers. I'll keep tinkering with it though.

Didnt work for me either, sounds like we have exactly the same problem. I'm wondering if I put this on the LAN machine with a different IP from the standard 127.0.0.1/local host it'll work. I have a feeling it will and its something to do with having a different IP because of LAN setup.

All im trying to do at the moment is host the server, client etc etc all on same machine (without LAN).

Thanks for peoples continuing assistance with this btw...much appreciated.

-J-

are you running server and client on the same machine? also please make sure your eqhost.txt is not saying localhost, put in the actual ip of the server in every instance

I'm trying to run both on the same machine too....I thought that would be the easiest setup. My ip replaces all the local host sections except in the db.ini I didn't replace localhost with my ip. I get an error if I do that. Maybe I should try loading the server on my other machine and try to connect to that.

I've tried every combo without obviously using a LAN IP (i dont have a lan setup on this machine). Like I said before, i bet as soon as i try this on my LAN setup it'll work. I have a feeling the login server has major objections to hosting, running and using the whole thing on localhost/127.0.01 .

Its a puzzler indeed :)

have you tried actually entering 127.0.0.1 for everything IPak?

nope....1 sec and I will

In my db.ini I use localhost, loginserver.ini I use 127.0.0.1, and eqhost.txt I use localhost. I run login, world, zone, and client on 1 computer. Maybe it has something to do with having some basic network protocols added in windows (if that's what you're using). Sorry I can't be more specific. Good luck to you, I hope you get it working!

And that didn't seem to work either. The only other thing I can think of is to try without using the minilogin server or just to try connecting over the lan with my other machine as a host

Thanks for that Kaylin, at least i now know its possible to run on the same machine :)

Just out curiousity when did u last update your EQ IpakAgun? Because ive got the most recent patch from yesterday the 23rd(when they repatched). Im just wondering if thats got something to do with it.

I made a copy of my eq directory for this and it doesn't have the last 2 patches, I believe. I will patch it and let you know if it still works.

I know its connecting....no matter which ip I put mine or the 127 the zone exe says connected to world server= 192.168.1.101,
but I do get an error message at when I run world.exe. The message is "[LoginServer] block not found in LoginServer.ini"

It still works with the current update.

Thanks for testing that Kaylin, it looks increasingly like you are right with the network protocol theory.
I've tried all variations of local ip addys, zones are working, world is working and mini login seems to be fine.

I'll try setting up a network but obviously without adding another machine and see what that does.

Ok installed a few extra protocols and nothing.
Here's what im getting visually through my minilogin:

Minilogin reporting....
Login server listening on port:5999
51001 New client from ip: 127.0.0.1 port:1078
(then i dont see the server and log off it reports:)
removing client from ip:127.0.0.1 port:13828

So it looks like its working as it should in that respect..just not showing that dam server name.

Try this
 

Try this, make sure your loginserver.ini is exactly the same other than the worldname and the worldaddress:
[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
worldname=Nada's Test Server (SOL ENABLED)
locked=false
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
account=
password=
Then make sure your eqhost file is this:
[Registration Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
Then if you have done this boot up minilogin, world, 5zoneboot use eqgame.exe patchme or login with eqw 2.2. This worked the first time on both of my machines hopefully it will work for you.

I keep hoping one of these will fix it :-( Sorry it didn't work for me, I still can't see any servers

Ipak I just fixed mine and I had your problem. Okay I will paste my stuff so you can look at it.

[Database]
host=localhost
user=xxxxxx
password=xxxxxx
database=eq

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
worldname=Nexius
locked=false
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
account=eqemu
password=eqemu

Your whole issue is linked to the error you get in world.exe when I added eqemu to the username and password field I no longer got the error. It now says loginserver.ini read.

Also make sure your host looks like this.

[Registration Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}


When I added 127.0.0.1 in all the local host fields in all of the .ini and eqhost I couldnt see world but I still didnt get the cant read block error. That error was fixed by adding the eqemu password and username in login.ini. When I changed all my 127.0.0.1 back to local host I could see my server.

Good Luck!

Hey Viper I'm glad you got yours to work :-) Its still the same old same old here. I might try a fresh installation later today to try again. I still get the error with eqemu as pass and login.

HEY VIPER :-) I had a instance old the old world.exe running and thats what was screwing it up....now the ini works, but I get another error with world exe that says bad password...Really close now :)

Oh yeah that did the trick :-) I can login, create characters and play.......I need to figure out alot of stuff now in the game.... zoning to new areas and such. This is really cool now :) Thanks Viper

Nice one Viper, fixed my problem too!! :)
Thanks for everyones help and input on this.

Dammit, i iz just got back from me holiday and i iz gettin this problem too.

I ave got everything right and i am tryin to connect over a network but thee is no server listed dere.

wot iz its problem.

have you tried all of the suggestions from this thread? if so please post your settings from the loginserver.ini and eqhost.txt in a new thread

no server =(
 

ok did what viper had and it worked locally thanks !

I had the problem of yer server not showing up in the list, im connecting over a LAN, i played around for ages trying to get it working, i gave up.... then a couple days later i went back to it, didnt change anything and it worked fine and has since, i can only imagine it was restarting the server comouter in the meantime that made it work because i know i had everything set up correctly....... Strange
