1002 with minilogin....

[Bisketus]

I just stumbled onto EQEmu yesterday for the first time, so I'm very new to all this...so please be patient with my ignorance.

I read through the readme page that explains how to run your own server on a LAN, and downloaded the files (newest EQEmu, mySQL..etc) and installed them and followed the instructions for creating the eq database and changing the login info in the various files. No problems at all during that process.

I hadn't played EQ for months, so it wasn't on my computer, so I reinstalled up through SOL...patched to the current version because I read the post that seemed to indicate the newest patch was running ok. Then I loaded up the minilogin followed by world.exe and watched for any error messages. The world.exe window showed it connected to the Minilogin, and the minilogin window showed the world had connected. So I loaded up the zones, waited for them to load and received no errors. Then with my second computer which also had a newly patched EQ version, started up with the "eqgame.exe patchme" method and got to the login screen. Here's where I had the problem. I entered the accountname and password I had added before using "world adduser eqemu eqemu 200" and right away got the 1002 message.

I'm a little confused because the newest version of EQEmu appears to be released at the beginning of this month. Any ideas on what the problem might be? Is it an outdated version of Minilogin? I checked for anything newer than what came with the newest EQEmu version, but it didn't seem there was any. Do I just have to wait until they release another version of the minilogin? I tried using Public Login too but that gives me the "Incorrect Version" error.

I was able to login to EQEmu's login server just fine...logged into one of the listed servers too without any problems. So I'm stuck. I searched the forums for posts on 1002 errors, but they are so outdated now I'm not sure how valid the info was.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
