Hi, I went through the tutorial on how I go about making a server and everything worked fine.
Now when I run world.exe it comes up real fast and then the window goes away. It doesn't even give me time to see what it says. I checked the server list to see if it was there but much to my disappointment it wasn't
Any idea what the trouble is, I have used search and never found any solutions.
Also I tried running it from MS DOS but no luck there either.
I do have a router (Dlink) is there anything special that I need to be doing? No firewall though.
I am using Win XP.
I am following
this guide.
I patched EQLive post April 14th.
db file:
# READ README.TXT!
[Database]
host=localhost
user=username
password=pass
database=eq
compression=off
### --- This file tells world.exe what computer mySQL is on. Host should
### --- be left "localhost" unless mysql is on a differant computer than world.exe.
LoginServer file:
### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.
### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We recommend using the eqemulator.net Loginserver ALWAYS.
### --- NOTE: You can NOT use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automatically.
