I'm new to eqemu but I like the idea. I have some friends who have played or wanted to play EQ and they don't wan't to pay SOE every month. I setup a server with a little time last friday and for the most part I got it up and running with minilogin and running linux as the server core.
I have a few questsions that I don't really see so I though I'd ask them here:
(BTW please ignore my newbness
)
Is there anyway to let minilogin work by anyother means besides IP auth. I was able to get an account setup for me (and my brother) but sometimes he comes over to my place and I'd hate to be updating mysql to fix this or worse having to write a PHP frontend to let users in. I was able to get the password auth to work with a little work in mysql. The database took the * and % but the program couldn't parce that to mean anywhere. What do I need to put in to sql to do that? Anyway I can have the same account use more than one IP?
While I have this server up and running there isn't much there aside from the stunning landscape. I've played a few other servers and they have NPC's, mob's and doors. From everything I've read all of this work is realated to the database. I pulled what parts I could see from the installer and the parts that I found from PEQ but I'm not sure I'm on the right one. Is Velious Beta 1 where I should start for EQTi support? I'm more than happy to donate to whom ever created such a database (I know it had to be quite a bit of work).
Thanks!
