Creating a lan server-Confusion!

[techguy84]

That guide is fairly old, try to follow the newest one to get your server going, then switch over and follow the MiniLogin guide to set up a LAN type server. If you can hold off until tommorw night, I will have my guide up in PDF with screenies, but the best part is it will have the minilogin information to set up with no hassles.

Thanks a ton man. I'm going to just start from scratch. I'm re-downloading all the required files and I'll have at it tomorrow night.

Yeah, techguy's 992 build guide is quite nice. I've set up emu servers several times over now, but his guide is still very easy to follow.

Allright, I'm stuck (again) at a different part. When trying to get the PEQ DB stuff using WinCVS I get an odd error.

TCL or Python are not available, shell is disabled

cvs -d : pserver:anonymous@eqemuquests.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/eqemuquests checkout -P -- peq_dp (in directory C:\peqdb)

cvs checkout: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password

cvs checkout: cwd=C:\peqdb ,current=C:\peqdb

cvs server: cannot find module `peq_dp' - ignored

cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

Note there is no space between the : and the p in the second line. I added the space so it wouldn't make this face :p.

I've tried several things, including starting from scratch and I get the same thing each time.

Well, I'm in another pickle. I've got my server up and running just fine. I can log on, do all the GM stuff I want, etc. I also have the EQOffline bots set up and working (took me a while to figure out the tables and what not).

So I made a character, made a quick companion, and started moving around. The first thing I noticed was that my latency was pretty big considering I'm right here at home (same computer). My companion was pretty laggy.

I ran around, looking at the monsters when I realized "Hey, these things aren't attacking me... and they aren't moving... and when I attack them they just stand there... hmm." I adjusted the XP rate earlier to make it a bit faster (this worked, as well as all the loot adjustments I made) and leveled up.

And here I am. I searched the wiki for awhile and had no idea what to search for. I also used the search function pretty extensively (about 10 minutes) and couldn't find anything on why my local latency is so huge as well as why no NPC's attack me. Note I can hail NPC's and some respond. I can also buy and sell from merchants just fine.

I'll be so peachy happy once I get this all worked out.

peq_db not peq_dp

I think that's your problem.

Edit: Curse you, jimbabwe. :p
