Hi all,

I have tried many different combinations. It seems to be just doing it on my world not others has something been confiqured wrong. Thanks. M.

config:
mySQL running, world running, boot5win running fine, no firewall up, no virus protection on. using eqw2.2

MY INSTALLATION
1)Unzipped eqemu-0.3.3.1-win32.zip to a dir called c:\eqemu, note I dint do anything with eqemu-0.3.3.1-source.zip that is for Linux I suppose ??
2)Copied spdat.eff from EQ dir to c:\eqemu dir
Part 3: mySQL setup
1)Dowloaded and installed mysql-3.23.49-win.zip
2)Copied db.sql to my C:\mysql\bin dir
3)Ran Winmysqladmin.exe and put in PW and username
4..6) Created database eq, and kept Winmysqladmin.exe running in background, green light.
7) ran mysql from C:\mysql\bin, typed "use eq", database changed
8) typed "source db.sql" no errors
Part 4:Setting up EQEmu ini
1)edit db.ini to have mySQL Pw and user names,
2)edit loginserver.ini as above
3. edit Boot5zones.Win9x.bat , since im using win98,
"YourIP" 7995 127.0.0.1"
"YourIP" this text was replaced with my current IP which is dynamic
Part 5. Running the server
1)Ran world.exe
2)Ran Boot5zones.exe: 5 Windows come up with following messages
Finished Boot5Zones - no message, Window - 7995, Window - 7996, Window - 7997, Window - 7998, Window - 7999 All say sleeping with done. No error messages, ports all opened.

FILES USED:
Operating System: Win98Se
EMU downloaded: eqemu-0.3.3.1-win32.zip
Mysql downloaded and installed: mysql-3.23.49-win.zip
EW version: 2.22
Everquest Directory: Made a backup dir

any errors in the world.exe or zone9x windows?

Clearing out anything in the name filter table helps sometimes. :D (Sometimes something gets put in there by mistake and it will block everything... like % :D)

humm
 

i dont have that problem getting into other people's worlds servers just mine though.. ty M.

then what baron says is very true. open up mysql.exe and type "use eq" then type

"delete from name_filter;"

all without the quotes.

????? check your boot5zones files and makesure your using the right one....

OHH duh, i dunno why i didnt see that before. he's right. you need to replace that ZoneNT with Zone9x

Heh shawn, don't feel bad, you have done that to me many times :p

same
 

REM: zone9x.exe is for use with Windows 98 and ME only.
REM: If you are running Windows NT/2000 or XP use ZoneNT.exe

Hi, I made the changes now so it is using Zone9x but .. same thing name rejected. I erased the Everquest dir and made a new one from Thursday backup in case was corrupt but same thing, all names are being rejecte cant enter. The problem only happens when i try to log into my server.
ty,
M.

dont forget the eqhost.txt is changed back to original everytime you patch

.
 

eqhost is the one for eqemu.. I wonder what the heck is going on. Is there a problem with mySQL?
