Local Server Characters
 

I'm running 5.3 DR2 on a local server and have noticed that whenever we create characters they appear to be viewable to all users. All 3 characters were created by status 200 users and even though they were created by different accounts were assigned the same account_id #. I've tried changing the account_id value to correlated with the appropriate id in the account table, but never see the character when i sign on as the other account. I can revert this change and everyone still is able to see the character.

We have 3 accounts and 3 characters:

account = acct1
status = 0
id = 1

account = acct2
status = 200
id = 2

account = acct3
status = 200
id = 3

character = toon1
account_id = 2

character = toon2
account_id = 2

character = toon3
account_id = 2


Any help is appreciated.

I've seen something similar, when you are running minilogin and doing your own server... it doesn't really matter what you enter into station name... it will always login the same account if that's all you have in minilogin.ini.

Everytime you log in... it's logging you into account number 2 (probably eqemu) and all characters are on that account.

I may be wrong but I think for separate accounts when using minilogin.. you need the account in the .ini as well as the database.

There is a FAQ somewhere on this board on setting it up.

Yeah that seems to be exactly what's happening. I'm going to look over the minilogin faq again to make sure I haven't missed anything.

minilogin only looks at ip's..so if your trying to log in from the same machine to diffrent accounts it wont work.

Got it going. After looking over the docs again I specified specific ips for the remote hosts as opposed to 127.0.0.1, and that did the trick. Thanks guys! :) Is that how everyone else does it? Seems like I'll be modifying the ini file alot w/ ips as they change or dns names.

Yes, because technically, Minilogin only supports one account.. You have to trick it...

Good enough for me :).
