Problem logging in

[FlitTastic]

Still doing the same thing after 3 try's. 2 windows are supposed to pop up, one says to wait for world to load, other one opens and closes so fast that you would miss it if you blinked. Has done this on all my attempts. So I dont know what to do anymore. Cant find anything in the forums that covers this or on the wiki. Can anyone please help or at least point me in the right direction?? Thank you.

What version do you have, and what are you clicking on to start the server ?

BTW, there is no uninstallation of the server, just delete world.exe, zone.exe and EmShareMem.dll and replace them with the newer versions. Of course the database is a different issue.

Which version of what?

im clicking the start.bat file that techguys guide had me set up. the one that starts with @echo something something something etc.

What version of eqemulator server are you using ?

Do you not have emu.bat ?

I hate to say anything cause it always comes back and bites me right in the ass
But I'll say it anyways; You need to aquire a little understanding on what you are doing; What does MySql mean? Perl? what is a batch file?
When I started I knew a bit of Perl but nothing of MySql or any other SQL for that matter, other than it was a database.
These things are very simple to learn (hell, I learned it!), and I suggest anyone starting in EqEmu, become familiarized with it all first.
You can break down EqEmu into three areas:
the source (executables, or emulator), MySql (EqEmu will NOT work without it), and Perl (for all the quests, what npc's say, etc.)
The "start.bat" file is just a DOS command-line script for running all the emulator executables.

Ok, so unless I understand what these things are, then following the guide wont work at all? Ill start reading up on it over the net. Im sure ill be able to find something out there.

I wish that I didnt have to make a server at all. I would be more than happy to just play on someone elses if I could. The problem with it is that I dont want to switch to anniversary. There is only one reason that I came to eqemu and that is that it has the old, un-revamped zones. I read on the forums that you guys will be switching at some point and so im a little anxious about getting this up and running on my lan.

Anyway, thank you all for the help.
