1002 with minilogin....
 

I just stumbled onto EQEmu yesterday for the first time, so I'm very new to all this...so please be patient with my ignorance.

I read through the readme page that explains how to run your own server on a LAN, and downloaded the files (newest EQEmu, mySQL..etc) and installed them and followed the instructions for creating the eq database and changing the login info in the various files. No problems at all during that process.

I hadn't played EQ for months, so it wasn't on my computer, so I reinstalled up through SOL...patched to the current version because I read the post that seemed to indicate the newest patch was running ok. Then I loaded up the minilogin followed by world.exe and watched for any error messages. The world.exe window showed it connected to the Minilogin, and the minilogin window showed the world had connected. So I loaded up the zones, waited for them to load and received no errors. Then with my second computer which also had a newly patched EQ version, started up with the "eqgame.exe patchme" method and got to the login screen. Here's where I had the problem. I entered the accountname and password I had added before using "world adduser eqemu eqemu 200" and right away got the 1002 message.

I'm a little confused because the newest version of EQEmu appears to be released at the beginning of this month. Any ideas on what the problem might be? Is it an outdated version of Minilogin? I checked for anything newer than what came with the newest EQEmu version, but it didn't seem there was any. Do I just have to wait until they release another version of the minilogin? I tried using Public Login too but that gives me the "Incorrect Version" error.

I was able to login to EQEmu's login server just fine...logged into one of the listed servers too without any problems. So I'm stuck. I searched the forums for posts on 1002 errors, but they are so outdated now I'm not sure how valid the info was.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

The db.sql that came with the last release doesn't get you very far and you'll be days working out the patch order on your own.

Here's one I made following all the previous versions and patch orders, I forgot to add quests but I understand EqEmu is about to change the quest format so I wouldn't worry about that yet.

Copy the .sql file in this zip to your C:\mysql\bin folder

Click Start
Click Run
Type "command" [without quotes]
Click OK

Type the following:
CD \mysql\bin
Mysqladmin drop eq
[answer y]
mysqladmin create eq
mysql
use eq
source <whatever I called that .sql file>

Hope that fixes it for you

Yeah, same thing here. Just wait until they fix it I guess.

Thanks Pneu...tried what you said but I'm still getting the same error. I guess I'll just have to wait for a newer version unless someone else knows another way of fixing the 1002 error.

Yes, I also get the 1002. Plus, I tried downloading that 3mb sql file (and ran the commands); and I still get 1002.

But, I only get 1002 on my local. I am able to connect to EqEmu public servers.

Perhaps there is a good combination of mini, world and sql file versions which someone who has a running server can post? That way more of us will be running the servers, and get more testing....

Could you copy and paste the contents of your eqemu .ini files please, the fact that only your own server cannot be connected to shows that the problem is something in your setup. Obviously remove your password I don't need that :)

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I've been having the same trouble as these two folks. I've tried your solution, Pneu, but it didn't work. Here's what my .ini files look like:

LoginServer.ini

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
loginserver2=localhost
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=ghosh's
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=localhost

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

db.ini

[Database]
host=localhost
user=*****
password=*********
database=eq

This is what world.exe looks like when I run it:

Using database 'eq' at localhost
EQEMu 0.4.0-Buon Compleanno
Loading zone names & items...
Error loading EMuShareMem.dll.
...done.
LoginServer.ini read.
Loading guild ranks...done.
Loading EQ time of day...Reading time file failed, bytes read: 0
failed.
Formatting drive C:
World server listening on: port 9000
Connected to LoginServer: localhost:5999

and this is MiniLogin:

LoginServer.ini read.
MiniLoginAccounts.ini read.
Server mode: Standalone
Login server listening on port:5999

Any help is appreciated in advance.

Minilogin is broken right now.

Well Rynet fixed the problem I had. Go to the thread labeled "I fixed Minilogin!!!" Download that and your 1002 problems should be gone.

Sorry I missed the problem, I have a seperate client directory for EqEmu and only update it when there is a new EqEmu release and i've tested it with my EqLive client...

I recommend doing this to avoid such problems in the future.
