caveman serverpack lan setup

armflailing · #1 04-23-2006, 02:59 PM

Hi, I installed caveman's serverpack3.5 installer, and I have titanium eq installed. I'm trying to setup a LAN server. Could someone give me an easy rundown of the settings I need to change after installing the serverpack3.5 installer to run it on a LAN setup. I'm a noob at this and I was about to give up but I found caveman's installer and everything seems to be running fine if I was going to host a public server, but I can't login to my server because it's not setup for LAN. Any help is appreciated thanks.

Choose the 'Minilogin' option when you install.

i chose that option, I can login and get to server select screen but there are no servers in the list to choose from.

That is due to a lack of the "variables" table, setting "servertype" to "1", as well as not specifying "localhost" in the XML for "Address" and "LocalAddress".

Meaning:

SQL, Table "Variables", set "ServerType" to "1"
SQL, Table "Variables", set "LoginType" to "minilogin"
XML, in <world>, set <address>localhost</address>
XML, in <world>, set <localaddress>localhost</localaddress>

World.exe has issues sending "127.0.0.1" to minilogin.

Also, make sure that you've set up the XML for using
<host>localhost</host>
<port>5999</port>
under <loginserver>

Thanks for the information, I made the changes to the xml file, i'm not sure how to edit the variables table. Could you explain in a bit more detail how to edit the variables table and where its located. Thanks

Loads easier than using the cmd console.

i'm downloading the program, gonna take a while (dialup sucks). While I'm downloading that, a few questions. What should my eqhost.txt look like? Should it just say:

[LoginServer]
Host=localhost:5999

also, now I get a msg from eqlauncher that says error 10061, and its trying to connect to 127.0.0.1:9000, is this because I haven't changed the variables table yet?

Do i need to change anything in db.ini or loginserver.ini?

EQhost.txt:

[LoginServer]
Host=localhost:5999

as far as eqlauncher, it's trying to connect to world.exe (9000)

make sure world.exe is running

world.exe may crash (exit) on startup if it can't conect to MySQL, so make sure that the XML isn't missing any <'s or >'s, and that the username and password match (and DB name)..

also, if you are using newer than MySQL 4.0 (this includes 4.1.x and newer.. try not to use 5.x, stick with 4.1 or 4.0)...

http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20294

The error is typical since MySQL 4.1 has a newer password format than 4.0 (EMU is based on 4.0's)

-edit: added comment-

Logging off for the night, may not be able to help (post here) for a few nights. good luck with it.

keep in mind, if you're using 0.7.0, that word.exe 8will* crash (close) randomly when zoning in game. Just restart it and wait for EQ to dump you to login.

well, i got the server name to show up in server select but when I click on play everquest I get booted back to the login screen. I get an unkown packet error also.

klinzhai · #10 04-23-2006, 07:35 PM

Did you ever run "Everquest.exe"? If you've patched, you're borked and have to reinstall Titanium fresh.

I was having the same issue as the first post originally this weekend. I changed my MySQl to 4.0.10 and then reinstalled 3.5 and all worked out. Just FYI

armflailing · #12 04-24-2006, 03:59 AM

Right now when I try to play on my server I get an error from minilogin that say's unknown packet and then it just kicks me back to login screen. I'm using mysql 4.0.26. There's got to be a setting somewhere that I've screwed up on, I can't figure it out.

looks good, will try that when I get home.

First of all, thanks for all your help, I can finally log into my own server from the server machine. Now I just need your help to figure out how to log on from a different machine. I tried to log onto another machine on my lan with ip of 192.168.0.3, and it crashes back to login screen like my server machine used to, also sometimes I get the msg that I need to rerun the eq patcher but I'm using the titanium install on my other machine too.
