How do you rename the server?
 

This may be a stupid question, but I'm going to ask anyway. How do you rename the server that shows up under the server select screen? Which files do I modify? The reason I ask is that every time I rename my server, the client crashes every time. But, when I rename it back to its default name, everything is good to go. I modified the eqemu_config.xml file as follows:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>minilogin</shortname>
<longname>My Server</longname><---Only line that I changed.

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>127.0.0.1</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>eq</username>
<password>eq</password>
<db>eq</db>
</database>
</server>

So, is there another file that I need to modify or can someone tell me how to do this?

Change the shortname to an acronym of your server name

Change the longname to the name you want your server to be called.

save

Ok, I did that, and now there is no server listed on the server select screen. Can the server be renamed using the minilogin? If so, I am having problems.

Could you post your eqhost.txt please?

Here is my eqhost.txt:

[LoginServer]
Host=127.0.0.1:5999

Name of server isn't in XML config with minilogin
But in loginserver.ini

[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginport=5999
worldname=My Minilogin <------------------ here
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
locked=false
account=
password=

Doesn't the eqemu_config.xml file override the *.ini files?

Not with minilogin i think, minilogin is make before eqemu 0.6.5-0.7.0 style. That explain why it work too bad perhaps.

I figured it out. I guess the name I was using was causing the problem. Thats strange. Anyway, thanks for all the help.
