The Complete Idiots Guide to starting a EQemu server

[MceeD]

Hello,

I'm just a new face on the block here but I want to put in a little input. When I fisrt heard about EQemu and looked into it I shuttered at all the file transfers and seeminly sceachyness of it.

All Hail The Patcher. Thanks to everyone who was a part of that.

The biggest problem I had starting up a server was simply what files go where. My solution was files everywhere just in case. I'm sure my EQemu files total about a 20x more than they should be.

In the end I think I had problems with pretty much each of the programs. But I got a high school education... so /rude you. I was able to work around most problems and eventually got a server up. definatly the fun and excitment I was looking for but with a bit of frustration tossed in for good measure.

The Moral of my story (not that I have any right tossing out morals)

Would it be possible for someone to put together a complete How To build a EQemu server? More like a idiots guide to a EQemu server /w database. A list of all files needed and explicate instruction on where to put them.

I of course would offer to do this but in all honesty I am completly oblivious to half of what I did. Not even sure if the other half was really the right way ither. I would offer a Idiots Guide to being a EQemu Idiot, but let's face it we Idiots don;t need instructions.


THANKS TO ALL OF YOU. you know you rock
