Windows Server Installer :: Modular & Scripted

[marianoryu]

Greetings!

Please forgive the inconvenience - I am new to EQEmu, and I will admit things get a little complex for me sometimes.

I am interested in setting up a private server, I am running Everquest Titanium in Windows 10 x64.

I am trying to follow this guide.

I have just ran eqemu_install.bat as Administrator. What should I do once the process is finished?

[rixcraven]

Thanks fot the previous answers!.. a quick wipe and the installer is great under 2012r2 server.
There are just Two things, one is whenever I try to run the server updater (eqemu_server.pl) I get the following message :- "wget is not recognised as an internal or external command". world is not recognised either. And finally,
no database connection found...running without.
Everything else works great, stable under 2012.
I have tried setting the path for wget, no luck, tried running wget as admin, no luck, DL'd the latest version of wget, no luck.
I'd really like to get this working!!!... please let me know your thoughts.

Did you install the server as admin? is this a VM server? if so did you give it enough resources to operate with?

[rixcraven]

Yep, its on VMware, installed with admin level security.
its got resources to spare... 80gb drive (60% spare right now), 8gb mem.
the host is VR ready, so we're not short of computing power!.

Install went ok I think, but when I run t_start_server_with_login_server.bat it tries to start up then just says Windows cannot find 'perl' Any clue ?

[marianoryu]

Everything seems to install fine, as well as the HeidiSQL database starts too, but somehow the client gets stuck on "Patching EverQuest...", and then tells me it couldn't establish a connection.

Help please and thank you!

When you setup your "client" did you read Step 5 - Creating Shortcut on the setup guide ?

I get in, but I don't know what the account name and password are. I tried using the ones in the MySQL database, but no go.

[The_Beast]

Check your login.ini file. This setup is fail proof (if your loginserver.exe binary is working)

[database]
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 3306
db = peq <--edit database name to yours
user = user <--edit database username to yours
password = password <--edit database password to yours
subsystem = MySQL

[options]
unregistered_allowed = TRUE
reject_duplicate_servers = FALSE
trace = TRUE
world_trace = FALSE
dump_packets_in = FALSE
dump_packets_out = FALSE
listen_port = 5998
local_network = 127.0.0.
auto_create_accounts = TRUE

[security]
plugin = EQEmuAuthCrypto
mode = 5

[Titanium]
port = 5998
opcodes = login_opcodes.conf

[SoD]
port = 5999
opcodes = login_opcodes_sod.conf

[schema]
account_table = tblLoginServerAccounts
world_registration_table = tblWorldServerRegistration
world_admin_registration_table = tblServerAdminRegistration
world_server_type_table = tblServerListType

[The_Beast]

Also, this type of eqemu_config.xml works good for local (same puter as client)
Edit the values in RED to whatever your user/names/passwords are.

Hello,

I am curious if anyone else has noticed this problem after using this installer.

If I try to use any warrior discs like Defensive etc, I get an error that I am too distracted to use a skill. After receiving that error I can no longer click anything or attack anything as it just says I am too distracted. I have been running for almost a year and it is a recent development without any changes to the server.

Using Windows 2012 R2 as server
Using SOD Client.

[jedder1977]

Just as an update, I did a completely fresh install with the newest package on a new VM and it is doing the same thing. Warrior discs don't seem to work.

I have two further questions:

1- When opening t_start_with_login_server, I get the following.



Is this meant to happen or am I doing something wrong?

2 - The second has to do with not being able to create or login with any name or password I input in the launcher (I'm trying to set this up in a local LAN). How do I get past that?

[jia_jacky]

I think records of tblWorldServerRegistration table in your database are not consistent with your eqemu_config.xml.
But it shouldn't affect playing. You can still login and play, can't you?
