EQEmulator Forums - 5.7DR4 experiences and some questions

Heyas All,

First let me thank all of the developers and worldbuilders for doing such a great job. I have had a 4.4 local server running for a while, and recently patched my EQEmu folder to live to go and try 5.7DR4.

First I tried out some servers by other ppl to see what had changed since 4.4. Tried the Green Leaf server for a while and liked it a lot.

Then I tried to get a local server running with mini-login again. I was having some problems at first, but then I read I needed an older version of eqmain.dll. After getting that everything ran great.

Finally I wanted to host a server through eqemulator.net. I changed all files and things looked to be ok at first. But then I noticed my server wasnt up there in the list. No matter what I tried, my server wouldn't show up. Zone.exe en World.exe's output look fine to me. Tried different settings I found on these forums.

Here are the settings as they are now;

Loginserver.ini

If anyone has some suggestions they would be more than welcome=)

I noticed some things were not fully functional in 5.7DR4. At least not in the database (the one from projecteq) and cvs (29 may) im using. I understand the Devs are working on these issues and Ill just have to wait for another release. But then again Im wondering if there are some things I could fix myself.

I noticed self-targeting was working on green leaf for example. Is this something which could easily be altered? Also I was wondering about mobs not aggroing. Is this only a db/faction issue? Anyone want to share his opinion/ideas on that?

Thanks in advance,

Greetingz,
