Yes, you can limit which expansions are enabled.

Hello, I'm pretty new so please don't destroy me, but I'm so lost.

1. I installed the repack but how do I create a new account? In other words, What do I do in Heidisql to insert a new account? The one provided says name schecterx but no password so I can't seem to pass the login screen without inputting a password?

2. What should my eqhost.txt be? localhost:5998? Or 127.0.0.1:5998?

P.S. In the login screen, after I click 'connect' it hangs at "Logging into the server. Please wait..." so it seems to be trying to connect somewhere.

And if you hadn't followed those instructions your current installation -may- be "busted" (as in patched, thus not able to be used to play on EQEmu servers). So a fresh installation will be in order using the above link.

It seems to be working now. Great! One little itsy bitsy thing.

I noticed the mobs in the game never miss. Is there a way to change that so it's fair? Which table would I have to edit? Thanks in advance!

Forget that last question, I figured that out, I have another question. How do I make it so that it doesn't show up in the server list? I would like to make it private because I'm not comfortable yet when other people join, (it's just family for now) Thanks in advance!

Build and run your own login server. Then, only give your IP to people that you want to have access to it.

The same process applies to both WAN/LAN servers..just that LAN servers don't require the port-forwarding from your router.

How would I build my own login server? I understand that eqemu_config has it pointed to login.eqemulator.net so do I simply change that to my ip? I've done this before but it just hangs when I connect so there must be more files that I have to edit no? I'm also aware that I would have to manually add a row for accounts but would that work as well?

I haven't tested the repack..but, based on what I've read in this thread, you should be able to follow the guide with no problems.

Yeah, this page is very handy but: In this Akka's repack, there is no login.ini and that is where the database login needs to be configured. I've done repacks in the past, but this one seems to be missing this important *.ini file.

I have inserted an account into my sql and pointed the login server to 127.0.0.1 but again in the login screen it hangs with 'trying to connect'. I've tried setting eqhost.txt to point at localhost:5998, then 127.0.0.1:5998, and even my tcp ip address at 192.168.1.9:5998 but still no go. Something seems to be missing, and I can't seem to find how it runs without login.ini. Does anyone know? I know I'm missing an important step here..

You can always access it directly from the repo:

https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/tree...ver/login_util

Do you think if I place the 3 files into akka's repack it will work? (login.ini, login_opcodes.conf, and login_opcodes_sod.conf?

As long as you copy the files, build the login server binary and update your configuration files, I don't see a problem.

I'm not sure how the repack starts the eqemu processes, so you would either need to add the login server to any provided startup batch file, or..
manually start the login server before initiating any start-up process.

It never hurts to make back-up copies of any files that you alter, for worst case scenarios.

Oh I see, Ok I'll get back to you once I dig into that...

I wiped my laptop. did a fresh install of this repack on win 7 ultimate 64bit. i followed the instructions and read this forum but could not get it to work. when i double click the start.bat i get 1 window with 4 lines clearing text. then it just freezes. if i right click and run as admin it tries to open the .exe's but tells me that they cant be located...any ideas?
