Login issue

[sf411]

Ok so everything is working now world, loginserver, etc. But when I open the game and try to login it always says "Could not connect to...blah blah blah" (cant remeber all of it at time of post). I am using the steam SoD client if that has anything to do with it. But I made a shortcut with - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme - aswell.

Make sure that if you are using the SoD client, that you set the eqhost.txt port to 5999 instead of 5998.

Ah OK, I'll see if I did that and post back if the problem still exist.

Ok, new issue. When I start up the start.bat World crashes right off the bat. It seems to just rushes through whatever it does and bloop crash.

Could not load EQTime file eqtime.cfg

[trevius]

I think you can ignore eqtime errors. I don't think that is required for the server to run.

[sf411]

Yeah I fixed that issue, it was happening because I already had world opened and didnt notice. But now all works except I am still getting the unable connect to logins server, when trying to login to the game.

Either your eqemu config file is wrong, or your eqhost.txt file is pointing to the wrong place.

There is my eqemuconfig file.


and the eqhost files is set with eqemulator.net:5999

Currently, the SoD client cannot connect log into the Public Login Server until Rogean gets it added there. For now, the only way to connect via SoD is to use your own private Login Server from the open source one on the SVN.

Hopefully Rogean will get SoD added to the public LS soon though...

Also, your server config should be using port 5998 to log into the public Login Server:

		<loginserver>
			<host>eqemulator.net</host>
			<port>5998</port>
			<account>*edited*</account>
			<password>*edited*</password>
		</loginserver>

Ok so I set it to localhost. Still keep getting unable to connect to server. I am also using minilogin, so if that is an issue let me know.

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
loginserver2=newlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginport=5998
loginport2=5999
worldname=EQR
worldaddress=localhost
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[ChatChannelServer]
worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=StandAlone
ServerPort=5999

Here is my mini login ini file. Also do I need to fill out the Account and Password field under the login server part, if so with what? The account I set in the mysql command?
This is what I changed in the eqemulogin file.

	<!-- Loginserver information.  Defaults shown -->
		<loginserver>
			<host>localhost</host>
			<port>5998</port>
			<account></account>
			<password></password>
		</loginserver>

not exactly positive but i do believe you set port to 5999 for SoD in the above post. Please correct me if i am wrong
