World.exe not connecting to login server

[Charmy]

Hi all, great program btw, just having one small issue, when i start up World.exe with the 5.7 release, it never attempts to connect to the login servers. Before this i had the 5.6 release in and it worked fine, however was having a problem with character creation.

I downloaded the 5.7 source patched the areas for character creation compiled with 0 errors, however now i can't connect to world.exe because of the fact it won't connect to any login servers, this includes the minilogin server. i will continue looking through the code to see if i can find anything that might help, but up till now i have found nothing, if you have any info at all would help alot =). or perhaps i made some dumbass mistake which is completely possible.


Thanks again =).

can you post the output of world.exe and your zone.exe

[Charmy]

of course here we go

World.exe

[Status] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.5.7-DR2
[Status] Loading variables...
[Status] Loading items...

Warning: You need to get laid....
TCP Listening on: localhost:9000
World Server listening on: localhost:9000

This is without zone.exe loaded, once i start zone.exe the following line is added.

12156 New TCP connection: 137.0.0.1:2131
New zoneserver: #2 127.0.0.1:2123

There are a few more instances of this since i have it set up to load 4 zones.... but they all say the same thing... as for zone.exe the output is


Zone.exe

Thanks for looking at this =) hope it tells you more than it tells me.

wanted to add this is ofcourse with me running the minilogin server. hence the local connections, and there was one part where i put 137.0.0.1 it was suppose to say 127.0.0.1 =)

Add:

[ChatChannelServer]
ChatChannelServer=127.0.0.1

to the end of LoginServer.ini

[Charmy]

New error came out in character creation,

World.exe

Name approval request for:Froggie race:74 class :2

  Stat Wis is out of range
  Stat INT is out of range
  Stat CHA is out of range
Found 4 errors in character creation request
CheckCharCreateInfo did not validate the request (bad race/class/stats)
DeleteCharacter: succussfully deleted 'Froggie' (id 4)

not really sure why its giving me such odd ranges, perhaps i made a mistake in database.cpp i personally couldnt' tell from just looking at this but i will go check the chages i made before compiling and see if i missed or changed somthing incorrectly.
thanks again for all the help.

See Maximo's post in this thread:

Sounds like you made the same mistake in editing the file.

Also, if you get a version of the source from on or after 1st May from http://cvs.biosprite.net/ you shouldn't need to edit it at all.
