COMPLETE PUBLIC SERVER SETUP - Jan-2011

[lerxst2112]

You only apply updates newer than your database version, so unless there are updates named 2093+ then you don't need to apply any.

Keep in mind this guide was written a long time ago, so you may have to use some common sense about a few things, like the updates.

I just realized that when I read on further and actually READ what the hell it said... That there was a duplicate detected, there for, the DB already had it made, my apologies, it's like, 2 AM, and I'm a bit tired... Heh, THANKS FOR THE GUIDE IT WORKS WONDERS! Now to edit everything =)..

By the way, Solo progression server (2 bots allowed and 2 box total) is up. =) Come have some fun.

Without any information on why it fails, like the actual error messages, no we have no ideas.

Ha, I'm getting the exact same thing. I'm going to look for a guide that doesn't involve Mucking around in C++, seems like a recipe for failure to me.

Upon launching the login server, at the end, i get:

[Database] [1.11.12 - 00:31:38] Mysql query failed: SELECT max(ServerID) FROM tblworldserverregisteration
[Database] [1.11.12 - 00:31:38] Mysql query failed: UPDATE tblworldserverregisteration SET ServerLastLoginDate = now(), ServerLastIPAddr = '127.0.0.1' where ServerID = 0

Where would be a good place to start looking? I checked out login.ini and eqemulogin.ini so far both look perfect...

**UPDATE** Fixed it myself =)

Posting you have 4 that failed to build means you that you missed one or more steps in the guide. Posting the exact errors you receive means someone can tell you exactly what you did wrong and how to fix it. You pick which one helps you best.

Got it down to two by doing everything over again with different version of Visual...

left operand must be l-value Are the only two errors i know of.

in EQWParser.cpp

If you're using Visual Studio 2010 then install Perl 5.14.

If you're using Visual Studio 2008 install Perl 5.10 or 5.12.

If you install Perl 5.12 you'll need to find the two places in the code that reference perl510.lib and change them to perl512.lib.

You got me there, now I got it all compiled and after a few hours managed to get the login server to actually be logged into by World.exe ... now the problem is I have no idea how to make ana ccount I tried typing one manually in with navicat by entering a name and apssword but nothing appears int he database according to login.

So, I can't figure out why quests/hails aren't working. I've done everything three times on three different computers to test maybe it was something with my OS or what not, and no, nothing seems to work... Any help would be great.

Maps in the correct folder (server/Maps)? Quests in the right folder (server/quests/zonename/npcname.pl)?

[Valdis01]

C:\eqemu\Maps\eqemu-maps is my map folder (Where it defaulted during install..)

C:\eqemu\quests\quests is my quest folder (Where it defaulted during install..)

[joligario]

They're both incorrect. Steps 15 and 16 showed how to get the proper directories.

No need to redownload. Just move them all up one level.
