Windows Server Installer :: Modular & Scripted

[stringz07]

After a previous failed attempt to manually install and setup a server, I used this automated one (really not sure how I didn't come across this before....).

I am able to launch the client and see my private server name (though when I left it with the default name, it showed up as "Q Installer" instead of the actual default server name). After selecting my server (shows up green, with status "Up"), i hit play and get an unexpected error with the following error showing up in the login server log:

"[Login Server] Play received from client, server number *random string of numbers* sequence 5
[Error] Client requested a user to world but supplied an invalid id of *random string of numbers matching line above*"

I can't figure out what exactly is happening here. Additionally, when I try to connect using the EQEmu login server, I can get to the server select, select my server, but get the "Unexpected Error" message there as well.

Anyone have any suggestions here?

I reinstalled EQ from steam (have not launched the game in steam, and have made a backup of the game files immediately after the files were installed), and am no longer getting the previous error message (and my server names are appearing correctly now), but I am having a different problem now.

When attempting to connect to any server using the EQEmu Login Server, the client just turns black after hitting "Play Everquest" from the server select screen, and has to be shut down via task manager.

The same thing happens when using the private login server, but I get the following notice in the LoginServer window as soon as I hit "Play Everquest" in the server select screen:


"[Login Server] Play received from client, server number 4 sequence 5.
[LoginServer] Client disconnected from the server, removing client."

Not sure where to go from here...

EDIT: As I mentioned, I downloaded the Everquest F2P client from Steam (this was the recommended download in some 2015 posts...but have not seen anything after that). Is this not the right client any more? I know ROF2 specifically was listed on the wiki, but wanted to be clear...
