[Ace Of Flames]

I havent even tried to download anything yet.. because I'm completely confused...
I can follow directions well though, and have a fast computer...
Just wondering where to start ? What exactly should I download? What files do I have to change.. etc ? I dont have any idea yet.
Trying to read different things and figure something out.. Anyone telling me where to start would be greatly appreciated.

The very first thing you want to do is read over the forums.. Not completely, but just to understand what this is..

EQEMU allows you to have your own EQ server, and connect to other servers. The other servers have some good worlds.. they normally have created their own database, which allows you to experience all new MOBS, in different zones. Such as fish, as guards in Greater Faydark. LMAO

Best of all it is FREE as of now.


You want to download the newest EMU version. this gives you a readme.txt file which I suggest you read completely...

I'd say if you can read instructions well, then the first thing you should do is download the program and read the readme...

[ninja_looter]

he is the first person I understand, and your being rude because? LOL

What do you mean the first person you understand ?
I downloaded it today. Am gonna try to find the time to read about it today as well..

I'm following the directions in the Read-me. I have MySQL on my computer now.... I'm stuck where it tells me to create a database named eq. When I click on create database, nothing happens.
I have no idea why.. I know this probably sounds like a silly problem to, but I'm sure there is an answer.

Open WinMysqlAdmin and click the database tab. Right click your internet connection / IP and select "create database". Type "eq" without the quotes and enter. "eq" should now be listed as a database along with mysql and test. Close WinMysqlAdmin.

The next step is to source the database which you download from sourceforge (db.sql). To do so, place the file in your Mysql/bin directory. Run mysql.exe. Type "use eq" without the quotes. Type "source db.sql" without the quotes.

Mysql has a reasonably readable help file that will tell you all kinds of things you cn do with it. That being said, create and load the data for a database this way:

Copy db.sql to your mysql/bin directory
Open a dos window
cd to your mysql/bin directory
mysql.exe
create database eq;
source db.sql
exit

Use another name besides eq for the database if you want.

Hmmmmm....thats good advice Lurker. The ironic thing is that we have not suggested anything that is any different from the readme.txt file....Hmmmm.... Good Luck

I got lost somewhere... ;(
Totally lost. Not sure what I'm gonna do now

[Lurker_005]

Start with the readme, if you need more help somewhere, the help file for what erver application your using us usually the next place to look.

mysql -> check mysql help files
dos -> check windows/dos help files

My post wasn't meant to be rude, sorry. It didn't sound quite the same when I wrote it.
