OK, banged my head against this long enough...

Ok, now I am connected to the server in mysqlcc. I have an emusp3 and an eq database. They look pretty similar. Which one do I want to use to insert into the account table?

How does one do this insert?

[klinzhai]

Oh the beauties... they're possibly both the same thing, you probably just installed again, so it created another db. Check and see which one was created most recently (look at the tables and see which ones were created more recently) and that's probably the more recent of the two.

That being said, I tried out 'mini' and 'mini' and while they aren't in the db, they do still seem to work. Maybe this is a minilogin feature that I didn't know about.

Either way though, if you want anyone else to be able to connect to your game, you'll need to be able to add more users.

BTW, I've reinstalled about 3 times and I think that my problem is related to whatever is causing my one command session to eventually switch over to saying "0: sleeping". If I can figure out what's going on with that, I think it will start working (redownloaded 3.5 about a 1/2 hour ago and reinstalled and it just kind of keeps doing the same thing).

ok, but how do you actually insert a record? I can open the table now and I see an "insert record" button, but when I click it, it just turns gray. Is there room on that wall for me to bang my head on it too? Together we can probably knock it down.

[klinzhai]

When you choose "Insert Record" you'll notice that you'll have one spreadsheet-esque row underneath the column names. Simply click on the 'name' field for that row and enter something in, then tab across to the password field and enter a password there (yes, this means that anyone that has access to your db can find out anyone's username/password), then enter an IP address in the minilogin_ip field, etc...

Edit: Apparently the sleeping thing isn't the problem :( Well, at least I probably only have 1 more problem left.

[Kirgothi]

argh, when I click on "insert record" the areas you are talking about where you can enter data do not appear. The button just turns gray.

Let me try reinstalling mysqlcc.

[klinzhai]

Yeah, that sounds a little weird... but you should still be able to use mini for username and password to see if you get to the server selection list.

ok, I reinstalled and now I am able to connect to the database and I inserted the record into the emusp3 account table. I also had to copy the patch_6.2.conf file into the opcodes.conf file before I was able to get past the login screen. YAY!!

Now I am right back where I was before serverpack 3.5, a server selection screen with no servers listed.
