Oh crap! You are doing it lol! You should have let me know!
Ok, here are a few tips:
Casting issue should be only for detrimental spells and that is because you didn't install the .map files in your home/eqemu/server/maps directory.
And, you won't see the spam in the window the same as you do in windows. Instead, everything gets logged into separate log files in your /home/eqemu/server/logs directory. So, if you want to watch the spam go by to see if there are any errors, you can do this:
Code:
cd /home/eqemu/server/logs
tail -f *.*
And, if you just want to look for errors, you could run this tail command instead:
Code:
tail -f *.* | grep ERR
When you start the server, you use the ./start command as you already know. And, when you do a reset, you can shut down the server in game using the #worldshutdown command and then go to your command prompt and run the ./stop command. And you will probably have to use the chmod on the stop command like you did for the start command. Basically, the stop command ends all of the processes and I think clears out RAM and stuff.
One thing to note is that once you have your server running smoothly, you will never need to do another actual reboot of the PC again lol. Only the server needs to be reset every now and then, not the PC itself.
Max number of spells on the server isn't an issue for Windows or Linux. Both server types can use unlimited numbers of spell IDs. It is the client that is limited to 9999 as the max spell ID number. And that doesn't change from a Linux to Windows server.
Lemme know if you have any other issues. Following the wiki isn't too bad really. The only complex part IMO is getting your tools working from another Windows PC on your LAN. But, once you get mysql setup correctly and make an account for the windows PC on your LAN, it isn't bad. I think the worst part for me is always getting Windows and Linux to share files so I can map to the quests directory.
