New Server setup aid needed.

Lokymean · #1 09-25-2008, 11:05 AM

I looked through the guides and as a noob here, I don't know what I don't know. I am trying to find a guide to setting my server up on my own machine for only me and a few friends. The location we will be playing at will not have internet access but we will have a working network between us.

Can I get a list of files I need or setup instrustions? I have it mostly setup now but world fails to load. inside my config.xml there is a referrence to eqemulator.net and I think this is hanging me up as I remove access to the internet for testing.

Help??

Click http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...MiniLoginSetup and follow the instructions. This will allow you to setup minilogin, you need minilogin to play on a lan that is not connected to the internet.

I guess I am mentally impaired or the circus in my head lost its clowns and they took over because I cant seem to get this working.

IS anyone willing to set up everything but the passwords and database for me? He is my IP
192.168.1.7.

I just want to get it working on an internet free LAN for me and three friends.

I keep getting

Code:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>D:\EQEmu\world.exe
Failed to open log file: logs/eqemu_debug_world_3648.log

Went through the steps 3 times....

I am trying to use minilogin.

This error doesn't have anything to do with minilogin. Try editing the eqemu_config file under dos and running world.exe after editing it. The eqemu_config.xml file should be in the same directory as world.exe. Don't believe what windows explorer tells you. Open a dos window to edit and run world.exe. You just need to edit eqemu_config to make sure all the settings are right.
In order for this to work, after you edit eqemu_config.xml, type:

Code:

start minilogin.exe
world.exe

Pause to let minilogin.exe completely start.
The start minilogin.exe will start minilogin in a seperate window. World.exe will run it in the same window and you can see any errors.

I edited under dos...NO Joy.

I edited both 'eqemu_config.xml' , LoginServer.ini AND
'eqemu_config.xml.full'

Made sure all common info was the same.

I got this error

Code:

D:\EQEmu>world
[Debug] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_world_0780.log
[Debug] [WORLD__INIT] Loading server configuration..
Unable to load 'eqemu_config.xml': Error reading end tag.
