Windows Server Installer :: Modular & Scripted

[askyn]

First off .. OMGoosh thank you !

This is fantastic ! Super easy to install / use and works like a charm.

That being said I have 2 questions / problems that are most likely related.

I have gotten it installed and running, and am able to access my server using ROF2 from the eqemulater server list just fine.

My first problem is I cannt seem to configure it for off line / local login properly.

When I try, I get the login screen ok, but after that it goes to a blank black screen were it would normaly show the server name and number of people logged in.

The second problem is most likely related to the above problem. I have Georges item editor installed and am able to run it with other versions of eqemus (axclassic specifically) but am unable to connect to this server when its running no matter how I configure it.

I can get it started just fine, but when I go to import a character / inventory it doesn't show the server / characters to import.

Any suggests? thank you very much.

Going from a public login to private login can be a real pain. Here are some links to help you out.

Sigh ... seems like it should be way easier then that.

I would think that you would just be able to change setting in the configuration file for the server to point to LOCALHOST, but I cant seem it get it working properly.

Should be as simple as what I've already provided:

First off ... thank you again /bow

I KNOW I did that before, ROFL, but this time it seemed to work !

I am now able to see the sever locally / offline, however my next problem is that while I can see and connect to the sever, it wont display the character select screen.

After selecting the sever I just get a blank black screen that just sits there.

Sorry for being a bother, and thank you for your help.

I wanted to say thank you again, my problems appear to be related to my windows set up, I had to reinstall windows to get rid of some related problems and then this worked perfectly ! THANK YOU.

I did have a question relating to your design philosophy for this server.

Why do you have bots / mercs disabled/not installed by default? I'm just wondering because it would seem easier for those that wanted to use those features for solo play etc.

Those that didn't want to use them wouldn't have too, but those that were interested them would be able to?

I appreciate all your hard work and I wouldn't have this server to play on with out it.

Thank you again

It's all setup so you can in the future be able to 'plug' features into it, download bots binaries and setup a bots schema etc. This is a base, as long as the base works, its easy to extend other topical installations into it.

Hello there, I'd like to say that this script is amazing! However, I have encountered a problem when running t_start_server.bat. After attempting to start the server i run into a loop with loading the UP and DOWN zones, it just keeps going 0/30 UP and 0/30 DOWN. There is nothing in the t_server_crash_report so i haven't a clue what is happening. If you have any idea what could be happening, please help. Also, I am unable to get zone.exe to open, it just shoots up a quick blank cmd prompt and goes away. Thanks!

I am running this in Windows 10.

I am running this in Windows 10.

I, too, am having the exact same issue as well! The only difference is for me is that i'm running on Windows 8.1.

Anyone able to shed some light please? When I manually run world.exe through admin cmd I get "failed to open eqemu_config".

Okay... total newb at this stuff. I'm primarily a player, and I profoundly appreciate all the work Akkadius and others have put into making this a reality.

Now to the question... it's twofold.
1st: Will this new installer have the same conflicts some have reported in windows like the repack did?
2nd: I assumed the answer to the first was "yes" to be safe... and I installed virtual box and bumbled through getting windows 7 installed on it. I've loaded the server onto it, and all appears to be well. The issues come when I try to log into said sever. I can't connect to it. From browsing the forums, I know this is related to the eqemu_config, login.ini, and eqhost.txt files and the addresses found therein. The address suggestions Akkadius lists on his installer page for the login server don't appear to work under these circumstances. Akkadius himself has mentioned he sometimes uses a sandbox like Virtual box... does anyone know how this may be resolved? I know jack about all this stuff. I've tried plugging addresses from ipconfig in MSDOS from both machines (actual and virtual) and I'm probably making a horrible mess of something very simple.

Thanks for listening, and hopefully helping!

I thought, why not just run this for kicks, and see if it will run on Windows 10 Home, and also connect to the server from the same machine... So I did. And it works flawlessly. I used the default folder path C:\EQEmuServer for install, and everything installed perfectly running the bat file as admin.

The server appeared in the server list as the default "Change server name" and I was able to open a clean install of Titanium with an edited host and shortcut (patchme), login and play. Upon entering the zone it gave me messages about meming abilities and spells. 30 zones started, character creation worked and I edited the status of my toon to 255, logged out and back in to gain GM access. This package is awesome.

Haha, right?!
