That's what I thought... Image is there a way to change this so we don't have to have our servers check in ?

I do not want to sound ungrateful but for some reason and I don't know why but for as long as this emulator has been around the people with the login server source has found it necessary to keep us all in binds to run things their way. I really do appreciate the Login but yet again feel I am being held captive if I use it.

I really do not think that everyone having a truly free loginserver for themselves is going to crash this community. Besides the login server there is TONS of work that needs to be done on the emulator itself and this is the ONLY place for people to come together and get that done..

1 recommendation from me: dynamically create an eqhost.txt file to make it easier to switch between servers:

PHP Code:
<?php

header
('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: text/plain');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=eqhost.txt');
ob_clean();
flush();

echo 
"[LoginServer]\r\n";
echo 
"#" $name "\r\n";
echo 
"Host=" $host ":" $port "\r\n\r\n";

?>
Which could result in this:
Code:
[LoginServer]
#Cripps Nug Blazers
Host=68.4.48.127:5999

I am not going to restore the restrictions of user limits; the server would have to be down for 6 hours total after losing connection. This will be reconsidered later on but not right now.

If it ever came to me going poof I'd give it out, either way I want it the way it is now for testing reasons. If you really get bugged that much you can disassemble it. But in the end won't make much difference

Thank you for putting this together! We've been using leaf and mini-login but it isn't a stellar solution.

I need to ask this though. I'm, we'll say, of average competency when it comes to this.

If I used PEQ installer and I'm running mini-login can I "upgrade" to this service or do I need to do a new install without the mini-login option and essentially "install" this fresh?

quite a few people have been converting their database, you just need to make the new accounts you setup to match the previous login id's that is in the character_ table, I suggest reading our forums and post questions should you have any problems.

OKay Image, thank you kindly.

I'll do that. I did post an issue on the old thread. I've been working on this with some success. I'll hop over to your forums as well.
