No World Created

kryones · #1 01-23-2009, 04:38 AM

I followed the steps in
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...kka=ws1129r222

and everything appears to be working properly, except for when I log in the EQ program and go to where I would join a server, there is no server listed. I've noted that when I run the "ServerStart.bat" file the title bar displays that there is "1 client", but also notes that there are "0 servers."

Anyone have any idea what may be the case?

not sure how to fix your issue my friend, never had any luck getting the wikki install to work myself. (likely my own fault i figure)

but have you tried the PEQ installer?

http://www.projecteq.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4346

also with upgrade packs for the newer code revisions.

(stay away from rev233~!! just upgrade to rev89 as 233 has/had some errors which im not sure Cave dude has had a chance to fix quite yet)

or if you are trying to setup a minilogin..

(possibly the easiest server setter-upper w/tools in the history of EqEmu!)

Ok, so I figured I'd try to better understand my problem before I attempted to ask again. I've gone through the guides that you listed to me, even used one guide linked in a signature of a senior member that posted on one of them. I'm very confident that my minilogin is working, because when I log into the EQ client it confirms that a client has connected.

I'm attempting to set up a server on my computer to have multiple clients on my LAN connect to it. I'm pretty confident that my database is up-to-date and all files are where they're supposed to be.

The Link that I seem to be missing is how the game world that the users will connect to is created on the server that my computer is acting as. Because the client works fine, but when it comes time to pick a world/server to join in-game, there are no options.

Does that clarify the problem any? - Sorry I'm such a newb :P

here's the code for my config files, maybe you'll see what I'm doing wrong?

(I've assigned my TCP/IP address to 192.168.1.2 via properties when TCP/IP is selected in the properties window of my LAN connection.)

eqemu_config.xml:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
        <world>
                <shortname>Classic</shortname>
                <longname>Classic</longname>
                <!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
		<address>192.168.1.2</address>
		<localaddress>192.168.1.2</localaddress>
		
		<!-- Loginserver information.  -->
        <loginserver>
		<host>192.168.1.2</host>
		<port>5999</port>
		<account></account>
		<password></password>
	</loginserver>
	<unlocked></unlocked>
       <!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
                <key>kiw9083wdfgesiwud</key>
                <!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
                <http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
        </world>

                <!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
        <database>
                <host>localhost</host>
                <port>3306</port>
                <username>Bill</username>
                <password>password</password>
                <db>ax_classic</db>
        </database>
</server>

LoginServer Configuration Settings File:

Code:

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

# READ README.TXT

[LoginServer]
loginserver=192.168.1.2
#loginserver2=
loginport=5999
#loginport2=
#worldname=
#worldaddress=
#locked=false
#account=
#password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[ChatChannelServer]
worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=MiniLogin
ServerPort=5999

I also changed my host file in the WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc directory to:

Code:

 
192.168.1.2	localhost

Also, I'm using a .bat file to startup my server, the code reads:

Code:

@echo off
Echo Starting MiniLogin Server
c:
cd c:\minilogin
start minilogin.exe
echo.
echo.

cd C:\eqemu
start world.exe
echo waiting a bit for world to finish loading...
echo.
echo.
ping -n 10 192.168.1.2 > nul

echo starting zone
start eqlaunch.exe zone
exit

if you need to see any other file's contents to help solve this problem I'd gladly supply the info. Thanks so much for your help thus far!

after a little more search and siezure, and a couple edits on the code above (I updated it) I also noticed that I wasn't fully updated on my EQEMU files, so I'm at REV89 now.

Now I have an error upon server startup that says:

Code:

[Debug]---------------------------------------------

After it retried did you get anything? I get this fairly commonly but on retry it usually connects. Did you fix your client shortcut and your eqhosts.txt file?
