No servers displayed in list
 

Hello,

I've spent the last few hours digging up posts about this issue others have had here in the forums. For the life of me I'm unable to get my server to show up in the list.

I followed the setup instructions listed here: http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=ValesEQ
This will only be a local server for me to play on, I will be playing from the same exact machine that the server runs on as well(posted user/pass are not original)

I've spent the last 2 days trying to get this to work and I'm unable to get this thing to show up in the server list, I've fixed all the other little problems that have cropped up. Help me eqemulator, you're my only hope! :)

Here are all my config files and log files.

eqemu_config.xml
eqemulogin.ini
login.inieqhost.txt

LOG FILES:
eqemu_debug

eqemu_debug_world
eqemu_debug_zone
eqemu_world
eqemu_zone
login
At this point I'm completely lost, any help will be greatly appreciated!

Im no IT expert, but the hightlighted parts i suspect may be wrong. i dont use minilogin
I take it that IP is your External IP address?,
ive had problems before using the external IP, on its own router
also other IP is incomplete
May be better using DNS server, its free, or maybe using your PC's own internal IP address
192.168.xxx.xxx

log shows it isnt connecting to the login server

The login portion is right, it doesn't need completed. However, it should be the local network, not external ip. On the eqemu config, you can use the external ip address as long as port forwarding is set correctly. The last one looks like it connects after that. Most likely it is the start.bat not having a delay.

I have been having the same issue as well. Everything runs fine, no errors. I just cant seem to get the server to appear on the select screen at all. I will check the start.bat and see if I can come up with any difference there.

This might be the issue:

Look at the tblworldserverregistration table. Things worked kind of funny for me until I added a second row (ServerID set to 2) and make sure the ServerLongName and ServerShortName do not have the word Server in them, also the ServerLongName and ServerShortName needs to be in the eqemu_config.xml at <shortname> and <longname>.

this is if you are using the eqEmuLoginServer. I dont know about minilogin.

Solo Server on Single Computer
 

I had issues getting my server to show up when using the LoginServer bundled in the (svn/binaries) rev2098 build release and the current EQLoginServer.sln(9) is broken. If everything is correct in the settings, try using the rev1765 LoginServer at:

http://code.google.com/p/projecteqem...r.rar&can=2&q=

(try the settings below first since I know there were a few errors in it)

Be sure to copy the following to your EQEmu directory:

EQEmuLoginServer.exe
EQEmuAuthCrypto.dll
login.ini
login_opcodes.conf
login_opcodes_sod.conf

Make sure you copy all of the files from the same revision source since different builds are not likely to be compatible with each other.

Also, eqemulogin.ini isn't used any longer. The login.ini replaced it.

(Since you're on the same computer for all programs, you don't need to use 192.168.xxx.xxx. If you decide to setup a network later for additional computers, just change the 127.0.0.1 to 198.162.xxx.xxx (whatever your LAN IP address is) for everything but the database settings, including your eqhost file. Just be sure to setup a static address in your router for the server computer or you will have headaches with roaming IP addresses.)

As for your setup, copy the following to each file below:

If you are using an SoD or higher client, change the following:

|eqemu_config.xml|
<port>5999</port>

|login.ini|
listen_port = 5999

|eqhost.txt|
Host=127.0.0.1:5999



That should straighten up your configuration. Let's take a look at your 'Server' and 'Account' settings.

Open up your database program (I use HeidiSQL, but navicat should work fine)

Under PEQ, find 'tblserveradminregistration'. There is a default admin here that you can use, but you can create a new one if you want. Regardless, you will need the 'ServerAdminID', 'AccountName' and 'AccountPassword' from this table. If you do create a new one, you will need to change the <account> and <password> setttings in <eqemu_config.xml> to the new values. (Use the default until you are comfortable navigating and using sql commands.)

Next, find 'tblworldserverregistration'. Make sure the 'ServerListTypeID' for your server is '2', 'ServerLastIPAddr' is '127.0.0.1' and that 'ServerAdminID' is the value you got from the previous table.

As long as you created a Login Server account during setup, you should be able to start your server at this point.

If you want to access the server http page and/or have GM priviledges, you'll have to do a few more things.

For GM priviledges, find the 'account' table in the database. In that table, change your 'Status' value to a higher number. There is a list somewhere that shows you what each value range will let you do, but setting it to '250' will let you do more than you would ever need to.

To gain access to the http page, you will have to set a password in the 'password' field under the same table. The password should be unencrypted or it won't work. You can manually enter this or use the mysql command line tool. if you use the mysql command line, copy the following statement and make the appropriate changes before pressing enter. (Make sure to type 'use PEQ' if you use the mysql command line.)

UPDATE account SET account.password = 'password' WHERE account.name = 'eqaccountname';

Make sure to change eqaccountname to your eqgame login id and password to what you want to use. I use the same password as my eqgame login so it's easy to remember.

If the 'account' table is empty when you click on it, login your EQ game client, create a character and then come back to this step.



I'm pretty sure this will get you up and going, but post back here if you are still having problems. (If anyone else sees anything wrong with this, please say so.)

Don't forget to use the proper syntax (http://127.0.0.1:9080/) for accessing the server web page or you won't get there.
