Minilogin - cannot see local server

Yep, almost beat you to it again, as I saw that mentioned either here or on Cavedude/Sesmar's forums and just checked which one I grabbed... 941...

Should I try an even older one that 940, or should 940 just do the trick?

[Angelox]

Actually I prefer 933, because most the quest globals features were working then - So I'd say 933.

Well, I just jumped the gun and grabbed 940, renamed my old directory copied the maps, quests, startup batch file and the 2 config files over to 940. Installed the 2 IIRC minilogin files, ran it, logged in, and BANG! I can move my char forwards and backwards!

Does 941 work for anyone? If not, I really think that they ought to retract it's release status...

933: IIRC that was the one that cavedude recomended and said that he used on sesmar.net, but if 940 works ok for me I'll just go with it as I've nothing to lose at this point, other than more time...

Thanks for all the help.

EDIT:
oops missed the part about the quests, maybe I'll go grab 933 now then...

940 is fine, just has some issues with quest globals is all, but if you ever use my database, you might miss out on some cool stuff.
In fact, here's my version of 940, I've been using it all week and it works fine;
http://www.nahunta.org/~angelox/file...940-source.rar
It's source, so you'd have to get someone to compile the executables for windows.
what i did was, revert the quest globals part of the source to what it was at 933 - the rest is 940.

I've seen some strangeness with 941, compiled on FC4. Sometimes when I zone, it'll say "You have entered perl5.8/blahblah/something.pl" (not sure what the text is exactly), and yesterday I could GM myself. but my name wouldn't go green. I switched to PEQ-raw (from Cavedudes old one I've been torturing to death) and I could GM myself fine. Not sure what I've done, cuz aside from a few doors and fog, I haven't really changed the database much.

But I too am starting to believe 941 might not be so stable.

[Angelox]

That last source I posted had files missing - this one was packed straight off my server source, should all be there.
http://www.nahunta.org/~angelox/file...lox-940.tar.gz

I've had this for a while and don't remember much about it, just a mess of files everywhere

[cutterjohn]

Sorry, been playing around with the base 933 + pew.

So you do the angelox db? I'll have to look and see what the difference are with that one...

Oh, the link in your post is broken. I'd like to try that version, but even if it wasn't broken, I'm not sure if a) I'd get around to building it, or b) still be able to figure out how to get what I presume is a VS7(?) project to build in VS6. I've done it once before, but it was quite a while ago... (That, and I never installed visual studio again since upgrading over the summer... )

Thanks again for all the help guys. This is really making me think about swapping out the old PII mb that I'm using for a server router ATM & put in that 1G Athlon, finding some cheap(hah!) PC133 memory and some more EIDE drives and getting a little more adventurous with this...

(I really don't like running it on my main x86 desktop, but I've not got much of a choice ATM. The PII is actually running a coppermine celeron @ 500M w/c. 164M RAM and an itty bitty 12G or so drive plus Ubuntu server 6.10... but If I can put all the pieces together, I should be able to swap that drive, add another and have fun... might even try getting it to work with postgresql, but I'll have to see what the diffs in the perl modules are like...)

On an entirely unrelated note, I never really realized how much Minions of Mirth was like the old Everquest after not having played EQ for 6 or 7y... I also never really realized just how database driven these games were until I browsed through the MoM stuff, then had it hammered home by eqemu setup and operation.

EQ's graphics haven't aged gracefully though, but I hope when the live version gets packed up for good, that somebody releases an official server or the means to allow the emulators to 100% impersonate them... of course knowing the parent company, I think that freezing and hell come to mind...

Ironic you would mention this, because just today I was walking around more of the EQLive landscape than I have in years... and I noticed the populations. 1 player in these zones, and that player was me, or one mage with their uberpet. Even PoK had 18 players. I about fell off my chair. Started me thinking, not if - but WHEN EQ1 dies, I hope to God this Emulator can pick up the slack, because while I am not an avid, hardcoregamer, I do love this game most. Crappy gfx or not.

This scenario is what has lit my fuse to get better data, and try to stablize this product. If SOE closes the door, what would we wish we still had access to? (I am on the enb-emulator project too, and believe me, that one hurts with no server to sniff from).

I'm with ya cutterjohn... working on resurrecting my old Abit dual Celeron 500MHz machine just so I can offload the EMU and MySQL from my desktop. With the DB, Emu, me, and two sons connected from the network, I get hammered everytime they zone.
