So I went all the way through this guide, have everything set up (or so I believe), and I'm puzzled as to how I am supposed to launch my private client EQ now. Once I created the .bat file, I went ahead and moved it to the 'EQEmu' folder since it wouldn't work anywhere else, then ran it. It popped up 3 windows which looked like they were initiating all the files and loading zones. Then I went to my client (running the server on a VM), and changed the eqhost.txt file to reflect my svr's IP:5998. I'm not sure if the shortcut still needs to have in the Target: "...eqgame.exe patchme -w", or if that was for the public servers only ? Anyway, I left it as is and tried launching it. I get up to login and tried the root and pass for mysql (the only account which was actually set up during that guide), and nothing. I also tried admin password with all variations of capitals, etc. Am I to be running a different load file or what is going on? When I try those user/pass combinations, it just tells me it's not valid. I'd love to get this at least launching soon if anyone can give me insight. Thanks!
