Wow... so confused

[eqemuross]

All I want to do is make a public server that shows up on the eqemulator list and allows people to join.

I've been able to have my server show up on the list, but people couldn't get to char select? Do I need to use the EQEmulogin or is that for private servers that don't show up on the eqemulator list? You've guys have made this very confusing :(

I've gotten everything I wanted to work except people being able to log in :(

Is this the copy of the server? http://projecteqquests.googlecode.com/svn/ and then you combine that with PEQ DB? --- The guides aren't really clear on this.

Need help please!

I can also join the server myself and I am able to do whatever I want. It's just that other's cannot join the server. It shows for them on server select, but when they hit play everquest it never makes it to the char select.

If you can log in and no one else. But others can see your server on the Public list. Then I would take a guess at it being your Firewall blocking access. I have the following ports open on my server.

5999 This port might be different for Public.
9000
7000-7100

whats the deal w/ eqemulogin? do i NOT need to use it if im going through new.eqemulator.net?

No. Having your config file set up properly and your ports forwarded properly is all you need in order to have a public server listed on the public login server list.

Correct, not required for connecting through the public login. Its an alternative to minilogin for lan type servers.

here is how my config file is set up

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<server>
  <world>
    <shortname>crucify</shortname>
    <longname>Crucify PvP</longname>

  
    
    <loginserver>
      <host>new.eqemulator.net</host>
      <port>5998</port>
      <account></account>
      <password></password>
    </loginserver>
    
    <key>make up some random string of characters here</key>
    
    <http port="9080" enable="true" mimefile="mime.types"/>
  </world>

  <database>
    <host>localhost</host>
    <port>3306</port>
    <username>********</username>
    <password>********</password>
    <db>peq</db>
  </database>
</server>

where could i edit the ports to be open? ive tried going around my router and straight into my cable modem and still no luck as well.

i mean if the world loaded for myself that means everything should be installed properly -- yes?

[leslamarch]

the ports need to be opened in your router and firewall, here is a snippet that Angelox Posted in another thread.

Ports on your router that need to be opened;
3306/udp, 5999/udp, 9000/udp, 7000-7010/udp, 5999/tcp, 3306/tcp, 7000-7010/tcp
ports 7000-7010 are variable, pending on how many dynamic and static zones you start up. If you use 5 dynamic zones and 5 static, then 7000-7010, is ok, if you start more, then increase the amount accordingly.

i guess this worked setting my ports in my router:



thank you all
