Blackscreen - Public Login question

[balir]

Oh my bad..

But it WORKS locally! hehehe By Gotfrags, the documentation calls it that - I use the servers specified in the readme to try and host online.

Here's what I've got for local:

db.ini

[Database]
host=localhost
user=****** (Masked)
password=****** (Masked)
database=eq

LoginServer.ini

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost 
(I use eqlogin1.eqemu.net for online)
loginserver2=localhost 
(I use eqlogin2.eqemu.net for online)
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=Balir's Dungeon
locked=false
account=****** (Blank for online)
password=****** (Blank for online)
worldaddress=localhost

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

boot5zones.bat - local

@echo off
start zone . localhost 7995 localhost 
start zone . localhost 7996 localhost
start zone . localhost 7997 localhost
start zone . localhost 7998 localhost
start zone . localhost 7999 localhost
exit
cls

boot5zones.bat - online

@echo off
start zone . (My visible IP) 7995 localhost 
(I use local host since world.exe and the zone.exes run on the same box)
start zone . (My visible IP) 7996 localhost
start zone . (My visible IP) 7997 localhost
start zone . (My visible IP) 7998 localhost
start zone . (My visible IP) 7999 localhost
exit
cls

I've run the addon, added the public login tables to the db.. not sure what I'm doing wrong.. or maybe port 5999 is just blocked for incoming UDP/TCP? I've tried opening it, as well as 9000.

I may just be toast. I've run into similar situations with other games like Neverwinter Nights; but usually these are resolved with opening the affected ports..

Edit: By the way, thanks - reguardless, I've been having fun. Made a level 1 high elf pally, gave some plain ol mithril armor (ehheeh) and a Ghoulbane.. went to Crushbone, started at the entrance, and by the time I got to the castle I was level 11! w000t! :P

Edit2: Code came out too wide, sorry about that.
