SOD client and MiniLogin "login" solution

[Congdar]

i run everthing on the same system too... but I use the actual IP. Please follow the steps in my link and tell me where it fails?

In the 'variables' table in your database is your "LoginType" set to the value of "MiniLogin" (without the quotes)?

Your config files look almost identical to mine.

However in your 'eqemu_config.xml' you have this section:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<server>
<world>

<shortname>walkworld</shortname>
<longname>walks EQ world of madness</longname>


<!-- address has to be specified for minilogin to work -->
<address>localhost</address>
<localaddress>localhost</localaddress>

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

I have it this way:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
        <world>
                <shortname>minilogin</shortname>
                <longname>My Minilogin</longname>
                
                <!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
		<address>127.0.0.1</address>
		<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>
		
		<!-- Loginserver information.  -->
        <loginserver>
		<host>127.0.0.1</host>
		<port>5999</port>
		<account></account>
		<password></password>
        </loginserver>

In my case I was running SOF and emy ver 1316 runs fine. Switching to SOD also does not work. Password rejected after the password entry in the client.

So there's more to running SOD than appears - especially if SOF works great.

...still waiting to get SOD working as well
If there's another minilogin - anyone have the compiled version?

GeorgeS, you can always setup the Open Source Login Server from here if you wanted:

http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/downloads/list

It isn't too hard to set up and once you do, it works much better than MiniLogin. As far as I know, there is only 1 version of MiniLogin binaries around, so if that isn't working for you for SoD, maybe something else is wrong with it. I haven't tried the changes that Zandig suggested in this thread on for MiniLogin, because I don't use it anymore, just the open source one.

So you have the 127... ip instead of "localhost" - I just tried that, no help.. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the connections.. I am GETTING connections, it's just that the client hangs up.

I really don't think the Steam SoD client works with Minilogin.. at least not the version I have (6.2)

I don't know.. how do I check this? I'm a total mysql noob.. I did follow the guide and set it up correctly as far as I can tell.. If you look at the screenshots Minilogin says "Server mode: Minilogin" and World.exe says something similar "[WORLD_LS] Setting World to MiniLogin Server type"...

Thanks, well I have no idea where it fails, but this

6. You must have an entry in your database account table for each system on your lan

I *think* I did this. I did enter a few mysql commands following the guide..

7. The account entries must have the IP of the connecting system in the minilogin_ip field

Not sure what this is... how do I check it?

8. If you have set the status field to GM status (200+) you must also have a matching entry in the gm_ips table

NO clue what this means I did set the GM status to 250.

Again, I don't get any "bad account/password" or any other kind of error messages from the client, it just hangs up forever...

It does the same thing when I try to connect to the public Loginserver.
When I try to connect to PEQ's loginserver (which is supposed to support SoD) it kicks back immediately with "account/password not found" etc... so I know it works, at least that far.... :/

I seem to have a similar problem described here: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/sho...953#post188953 (Third post, first two for other files and stuff) I've tried everything i could come across but it still does not go past the login screen.. Could anyone please help me out?

I struggled with this same issue last night. Couldnt figure out why SOD just hung.

So I woke up this morning and realized my minilogin is in a subdirectory of eqemu. Once i updated those opcodes SOD connected just fine. Make sure you are updating the correct opcode file
