EQ2 Emulator?

[John Adams]

Now that I got my mits on the source, I was hoping to get familiar with it. Do you know >>exactly<< what client is compatible with this current server version (if any)? I'd like to set it up and take a look later.

Currently the only know version of EQ2 to work with the server is:

SOEBuild= 1700 English

But this is pointless, theres no way to even access the world, as LE hasnt released the server that logs you into the world.

You can however, grab yourself a copy of the world source from the SVN (Links in the other post)

To get it working you need mysql, a mysql client (eg. navicat) and you need to execute eq2.sql (A file included in the SVN repository)

Then just configure the server to execute properly in the "db.ini" file.

Server should run just perfectly, until it gets to the stage where it needs a loginserver to continue. Here is an example of it if you dont want to go through all the effort.

Heh, oh yeah... the loginserver problem again.

Well this'll never get done then. hee! If I cannot login, I cannot do much. I'm a visual learner.

Rofl Now, we patiently wait. . . and wait. . . and . . .wait.

Could this be where someone could work ManGOS to work with world. I think ManGOS could act as a login server to handle that client connections, since it just passes them off to world once its done.

Maybe wrong altogether though. Is the minilogin opensource. Possible to recode it to handle client connections from EQ2 instead of EQ1.

Haha, there is currently three problems with this idea (That im aware of)

* EQ2 Needs the login server to do more than just simply log the char in, I think it requires additional info from login server, where the mangos login server only checks account username/password and injects char into the world.
* The mangos login server is basically integrated into the world server, code there weaves into each other. . .I dont know how hard it would be to seperate the two.
* EQ2 has different opcode than WoW, different packet sizes and different encryption.

You would need some lethal genius to engineer something like that
