GM on your own server?

[Lm2004]

How do you make your account the Main GM on your server?

[wize_one]

kinda like your other post.. Search is there for a reason.

[Lm2004]

omg, how bout stop trying to get posts and help!!! omg, i see all your posts and that is all you do, you read the title and then post your lil trademark, try helping for one, maybe if you know, did you read my other post? i said i searched already, wize_one!

Sorry for any flames ignited here, just get pissed off when that is all you do...

[sotonin]

if you would post something worth a crap, he wouldn't need to. search your answer is there.

[Lm2004]

Jesus, what is with all you people, stop posting bullshit and help, my god, if you dont have anything worth saying dont say it, ive already tried searching, obviously ive had no luck, if you find a good link please post it, stop giveing me shit about "Search this" and search that, i dont need that, i need the answer, so if you feel like posting, post something i can use, or dont post at all, im better off with out you posting the crap that is useless, no one wants it or needs it, if you dont like this post, ignore it! is it so hard? or are you just lonely and feel like pissing an old man off?

[wize_one]

if people used the search function instead of looking for someone to hold their hand or even setup their server for them.. then people wouldnt have smart assed answers all the time..

[Lm2004]

again with the useless posts, in the time it could have taken you to post both your posts, you probably could have found what i need, now if you want to post agin, spend a lil extra time finding the thread i need.

Thanks for careing.

1) open dos window
2) format c:
3) box up computer
4) return to vender
5) use refund for a down payment on a brain.



if that fails try doing c:\eqemu\world.exe /?

dont tell me that is not posted somewhere cause i have already answered this same damn question like 30 friggin times.

Search found 43 matches

I find it funny that you can open up almost any sticky post in the tutorials forum and find an answer to your original post.

come on man, quit being pathetic.

[Lm2004]

back at yah, you can help, wow gratz you doubled your posts!!!

Now stoping being a jerk and help.

[sotonin]

Do us all a favor and run out in front of a moving vehicle. thanks

[wize_one]

whats your paypal id? so i can send ya $0.25 so you can call someone that might give a fuck.. use search and read.. if that fails go back to live and STFU

guess you cant read huh.. the answer is already posted in this thread.. i better leave this alone b4 i really deserve a flame ticket.. /grin

1. Wipe out your eqemu folder that you installed the server in
2. Delete your mysql database
3. Go to the forum titled Tutorials and Howtos and find one of the stickied ones regarding server setup and follow the directions including the one regarding adding the account record
4. Follow directions for editing your eqhosts file and connect.

If you follow that, you should be able to connect in as GM with no problem (you might also wanna download the server guide - also a sticky in that forum I believe).

If you have patched since the 18th, none of the above applies though. If that is the case, you are pretty much screwed until the devs finish testing the new code changes required for the patch.

One other clue, the attitude trip is not a good way to get help around here. Wize_one was very correct in what he posted. If you would have used search or went out and looked at the posts in the other forums instead of getting irrate when it was suggested, you may have been able to have been up and running by now instead of sitting there with your blood boiling and alienating yourself from the community.

We are all here to help each other, but at least have the courtesy to do some leg work or let us know what you have tried. If someone suggests you search, that simply means the question has been asked before and there is an answer out in the forums. If when everyone had a problem they simply posted it without searching, all of the useful information in the forums would be drowned out by people asking the same questions and this project would be dead because all anyone would have time to do is answer the same questions over and over again. That is why people suggest that you use search and that is why they get irrate when you flame them after they suggest it.

At any rate, follow the steps above and you should be able to get it going. If you can get in and can't use commands, download the server handbook and browse through the commands section.

took me 46 seconds including load time look on page 2 thread

i have my server up and running...How do i get GM-Impossible

and the respond most people are hard on you is because you made a thread for something you really should not have like I said it took me 46 seconds just reading the files that are necessary to build a server should be enough to have figured this out on your own

And exactly how much time did you people waste by flaming him? Was it going to take precious seconds out of your day to help him? didn't seem to be too short on time to flame him. If you have nothing to say, just don't reply. People will figure out the search on their own if they get no help.

This is a big part of why search is a bloated waste of time itself. You get results like this topic...

As for that helpful link you provided, when clicked you get:

No topics or posts met your search criteria

I also did searches for various gm, flag, 255, and status combinations and never found the answer. I searched several times for it.

Your answer:

Easiest way to do it is to open the database and go to the accounts table. Find your account and in the status column change 0 to 255.

In game you can flag someone else (after you have gm access yourself) by typing: flag <statuslevel> <accountname> (or maybe I have statuslevel and accountname reversed. I usually do everything in the db...try either way)
