eqEMU server GUI.
 

Heres a project I

I will thank you in advance for this effort. While I do not mind the HTML stuff, it's not very easy to edit/modify without taking everything down first (sharing violations). 'Course, I could just be retarded and not knowing about _that_one_magic_way_to_edit_these_files_.

I've been taking the world down, making a change, bringing it up, testing, finding I've made an error, rinse, repeat, bored now, doing DB merging instead.

dont think that will change, like you said sharing violations. this idea is almost purly cosmatic, it will also make it easyer for users to change/fix 80% of the questions on the windows help boards that i have seen so far.

If you could get emu to work with mssql, that would be fantastic.

the more and more i read into this project, that looks like its going to be one of the tuffest parts.. i would much rather use MSsql since i have a copy of the high end version, and i'm a windows child its just easyer to use. right now i'm running a cracked version of windows xp that wont take a sp1 or sp2 install, so i'm backing of my data to install my clean version, then going to install all the tools for the job, will post more info.

ok all my tools are in place. but i have screwed up my windows insatll so badly while doing it i'll need to do a clean install no worries i backed up all the needed tools.. i got some sweet ideas from NET WindowsForms

http://www.windowsforms.net/

can't wait to start digging in, looking though the source the multi ip per client thing shouldn't be hard to fix, but the MQ2 idea, thats going to need some thought MQ2 commands are not seen server side. i dont see much of a way to do that part.. more thinking, or lack of vision, is what it end up up as.

bad idea
 

A gui for server will actually hurt your server performance more than it will help you in the long run. When a server loads any gui it consumes a chunk out of your memory and slows system performance. On a windows server, you are already hurting your system performance by loading windows. On a linux server loading gnome or kde still hogs memory but not as much as windows hogs, however for optium performance on a linux server, if you have to have gui then xwindows is the way to go, if you dont need a gui then a text based distro is the way to go. Another thing to consider on any server os is processes, the less processes you have running the better performance you will get out of your server. I assume the poster of this thread is a windows user, and not to start an attack on windows users but why do you guys need a gui for everything? The emu works fine without a gui, if you want to hurt the performance of the server by kicking it in the balls then by all means create a gui.

Note: Im not going to reply to any replies or look at this thread again, just saying my opinion about how this will hurt the emu. have a nice day.

If he's talking about a web based enhancement gui for the built in http server, it wouldn't be that bad at all.. and would only cause a performance hit when the admin console was actually being used.

The idea itself is a good one.. but would most likely require major tweaking of the internal http code as well as the html/php/whatever pages loaded for the gui itself.

nope.
 

i was looking at lineage2 and WoW, server emulators, and thinking to myself christ, why can't eqemu be so point and click simple. but at every turn in this project i'm hitting walls

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'unistd.h':

This is a problem with the version of ZLib that you are using. You may need to find a different install package for ZLib and reinstall it.

nasty build logs.
 

VS8 said i had to convert the "older" files, so they would work with it,

i'm using the source that came with cavedude's setup, where can i download an updated zip

Source I play with is found here: http://eqemu.sesmar.net/

Downloads, I believe.
