Patcher going down for a long time

DeletedUser · #1 06-22-2003, 09:14 AM

Im taking the patch server down until we redo the system. I am tired of it being leached by everyone (Hackersquest & our users) that have not helped pay for the bandwidth for it.

The new system will have a username/password and a log of everything you download, so if we ever get sued by Sony, I have all these nice logs of people that they can ban accounts on.

If you do have problems with this, why dont you do what we have always said, and KEEP ANOTHER EQ FOLDER.

We understand your problem. My question is, I am setting up a new computer, how do I patch EverQuest without your server so that I can sign into eqemu servers?

so what now? can i host a server for this to work? or is there another server that offers hosing? im willing to pay, but i thought that was the whole idea of eqemu, so we didnt have to pay to play? i have a couple comps i am willing to share, i just need help setting them up. im new to all this, but i know i have spent three days putting up a server and i cant get in to play :(

Basically you're fuc ked, sorry for the language. Or if you are dying to play EQ on the new computer... you can simply set up a network and copy the eq folder from one to the other.

:lol: bit ironic but lol nm for now.

i have a server setup on the emu atm, how would i go about changing and what files would i change to make it playable from my own computer network? please, i am ambitious about creating my new world. any help would be appreciated. thank you.

i already have eq on both comps and a network is set up.

Just wondering, but what downloads will you keep track of? Every download we make? or just on your site?

Also, could you please give a guess on how long this will take
(Days?, Months?)

Thank you,

if you still want to get on EQEmu read my post in the EQEmu forum named "patcher fix"

it will tell you how to get on without the patcher. although it wont help you if you have repatcher EQLive, if thats the case you have to wait till the patcher comes back up

Krusty posted this on other thread, but this seems to be the place for the answer.

provided you have your eqemu Everquest Folder where this command is.

since the patcher is down there is another way of getting on.

steps:

1.go to your start menu
2.click run
3. type this:
"C:\Program Files\Everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme

include parenthesis's and the patchme at the end type it exactly as it is

this will only work if you patched the EQEmu Patcher and didnt unpatch it. dont repatch EQLive or you wont be able to get back on until the EQEmu patcher is back up

It would help if you guys would make 2 copies of your everquest folder. Drives are cheap, bandwidth is not!

Barench · #13 06-22-2003, 11:24 AM

here is a batch file that will work:

@echo off
cls
c:
cd\progra~1\everqu~1
eqgame.exe patchme

now for us who went to live eq when the server went down and now have a way not to use the patcher in the future... could we please have the patch server up for atleast a few hours to fix our systems?

I aplogize for my inexperience at this, but i had no idea you could connect to the server without using the patcher, i have two folders, one i use for emu and one for real eq. i assumed you had to run the patcher every time you connected. you may want to make a post available that is EASY to find, (like on your front page) i can tell by looking at all the posts about the patcher no being up that many people are like myself and probably run the patcher every time they would connect. sry, and also if there is anything i can do to help you all out feel free to drop me an email at cannon-emu@cfl.rr.com. good luck and best wishes.
