I know it's not very hard to copy folders, create folders and such. Some people, and believe me, I know people who don't even know how to access DOS, but they know how to connect to the internet, chat on AIM, AOL, surf the web, etc.. My girlfriend is one of those, but I am teaching her how to use the computer, and how they operate.
With that being said, people should seriously either i) make a seperate copy of EverQuest so they can play exclusively on the EQEmu servers, and a seperate copy exclusively for the EverQuest main servers. This would avoid all heck with the questions, "I am getting a 10060 error!", which I am as of now, just waiting it out to see if the login server is down, before I do anything over here. Or, I keep getting "Incorrect version!", what can I do? etc. Seriously, here are my suggestions (not being mean to anyone, or flaming anyone. So you know, I am not off my rocker.)
1. Before you submit a bug, please, search to see if it has already been submitted.
2. Before asking why you are getting a 10060 error, search for "10060", as with any other error code. You may have to narrow your issue down to be more technical to what you are having. Others
may have already submitted this very same error.
3. The developers cannot exactly offer you support, and if they do, that is because they can -- they are busy developing the server itself. And that is why, we have support people here; to help support the server.
4. Before you ask this question, "Where do I get file [a-z]?", check out
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=41381 for the latest updates and patches, files, databases and such.
5. Before you ask, "How can I multi-task with EverQuest?", normally you cannot. I've written a program that you can find out more information at
http://forums.eqemu.net/showthread.p...;threadid=3788 -- This program allows you to use the regular EverQuest client, without having to use EQW or relying on EQW.
6. IF you want to be able to multi-task with EverQuest, than I suggest that you check out
http://www.eqwindows.com/ for more information and latest downlods.
7. Don't request warez, spam us for cshome, or other files. They are against the policy of EQEmu.net, and I sure as heck would hate to see this site go down the drain because of this. (this means, copyrighted material, trademark material, patented material, etc.. in electronical form, or any medium.)
8. (my suggestion), if you are going to release code for others, please make sure that it functions close to 100%, or very near. Should you be releasing beta source code and programs (such as my program, EverQuest Game Launcher), please make it clear that it is beta and may have issues, etc.
9. (my request) If you are going to say that you are going to do something, please do it. By saying, "I will do yadayada.", may get people's hopes up, and in turn if you don't deliver, may cause people to be upset, dislike, hate, or even do a #damage 10000000000000000000 on you, to hit you for max-damage.
10. Long live EQEmu and it's fine software. Though it has bugs, heck, my server, database both have bugs. We all have them, but it can only get better.
Thanks EQEmu-Devs.
I guess I did fall off my rocker a bit, hehe. Been sitting back having a couple drinks tonight and relaxing. Catch ya all later, and I didn't submit this message as a flame, bash, hate, spam, or otherwise to anyone. Just saying it as a reminder, request, and update to existing messages that
image has said, and others.
And Darkyth, I do apologize for not catching what you meant completely. But as far as copying, there are some that do not know how to do it. A lot do, but some to a lot don't. :(
