Titanium vs. RoF?

[NickW]

It took some digging. But, I found the solution. There is a service pack for Visual Studio 10. I installed it and presto! Back in business. Might want to add that to the wiki. Without it that error just keeps popping up in CMake.

Edit: Here's a link to the service pack. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=23691

I ran into a snag here:

"c) Now it is time to create the database.

The following assumes you have used my tip to rename the files to something easier to type!
Launch a command prompt window and navigate to your C:\EQ\SQL folder by typing:

cd c:\EQ\SQL


Then enter mysql -uroot -ppassword where password is the password you chose when installing MySQL.
You should be presented with a mysql> prompt. If you do not, and it says it cannot find "mysql" please refer to (link) Adding MySql to your "Path"
Assuming you are now logged in, you can now create your database."

Back in step 3b using method 2. I was never asked to setup a password for MySQL when installing XAMPP. I messed around with it a bit and got past it using this site:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...st-using-passw

Figured I would mention it.

What command did you actually type in then? I assumed that it wouldn't have a password set so you'd just need to log in using an empty password (since you never supplied one)

I went through most of the suggestions on that webpage I mentioned. I think what ended up working was "mysql -uroot".

Ok so I am down to:

"Launching your server for the first time

OK, If you've done all that, been there and back again, and your 300% sure that you followed these steps exactly, crossed all t's and dotted all i's - Your done.
Before you click on that Start.bat file, a couple things to know. When you run start.bat, a new command window with the title C:\EQ\EQEmuServer\world.exe should appear.
After 10 seconds, three more command windows should appear with the following titles:

?
1
2
3

C:\EQ\EQEmuServer\eqlaunch.exe
C:\EQ\EQEmuServer\queryserv.exe
C:\EQ\EQEmuServer\ucs.exe
If one or all four of the windows does not appear then the corresponding program failed to launch for some reason. Launch a new command prompt window and navigate to C:\EQ\EQEmuServer
and run the command manually, e.g. type
world.exe
and press enter.


This will display any error messages that is causing the program to fail to start. You should look at the errors and go back over the guide to see if you can figure out what you did wrong. If all else fails, make a post on the EQEmu forums asking for assistance.
*NOTE* - Your server places it's log files in the logs folder. This is where you look for troubleshooting problems.
After you have run start.bat and you have the four windows displayed you can now log in the EQEmu public logon server, find your server in the list and login to it."

I'm getting this:



And when I execute each one individually I get this:



I think I have to either create a user or give the user 'eq' a password? I've looked up how to do both. Neither seem to have worked. Any ideas?

I found the solution here in this thread:

https://www.eqemulator.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=38082

I had to log into mysql using "mysql -uroot". Then I had to set a password for the user "root" via "SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('myrootpw');". Where myrootpw = whatever you want your password to be.

Then I had to edit the "eqemu_config" file in my EqEmuServer folder. I had to change the user lines to "root", the password lines to my password i selected above AND the database (db) lines to peq.

Phew. I think that sorted it.

And a new problem arises. It seems never ending.

I went through the "Windows Private Login Server Setup Guide". I finished all the steps. When I run start.bat I get four windows. But, the last one that is supposed to be, "C:\EQ\EQEmuServer\eqlaunch.exe" is shown as "0:sleeping".

First this pops up:



Then these four windows:



I've been waiting for something to happen.. Nada.

On my Everquest client I am getting:

"A connection to the server could not be reached. Please check your internet connection to make sure you are online."

Any ideas?

Edit: Does this look right for the host.txt file?

[LoginServer]
Host=127.0.0.1:5999

The eqlaunch.exe one should be sleeping that's normal. If it its not sleeping then there's a problem.

Ah, ok. Any idea why my EQ client keeps saying, "A connection to the server could not be reached. Please check your internet connection to make sure you are online"?

Edit: I should of mentioned I can connect to TGC and the other public servers just fine. I just can't connect to my personal server.
