The solution to your problems

[ellis]

Got all of it working now. Except for everquest... lol

Guess I need to wait for new version of EQEmu...

Thank You

I am having the exact same problem Ellis is (Was?)... You say in your post that the emulator will not work with the newest patch, however, a mere 9 days ago, you said, and I quote, "*corrects*.. 0.3.4 does work with latest patch but is it buggy. ".... Any pointer? lol... Kinda hard for me to get an earlier version of EQ, seeing as how I had to reinstall from a crash... So I was glad to see that the new patch will work... But for me - it doesnt =(

well I found the readme and step by step guide awesome as they are very explicit, but I,ve got stucked at step four of the part two in the readme...

Problem isthat I've downloaded the stable version of mysql and cant seem to have it working right, fact is that create a database doesn't appear at all on my menu, all I get is -flush options.

would anyone have the answer to this? I've browsed the board and haven't come up on something aobut it...

[Lurker_005]

The best thing to do is run mysql.exe and enter the commands to create a DB manually. Learning some basic mysql commands is good anyhow.

so start mysql.exe then:

mysql> create database eq;
mysql> exit;

and your done. See the mysql readme for what that means and more info if you want to do something different.

Is anyone else having this problem:

When I open MySQL, under the Environment tab in the MyODBC box it says

Not Found

Driver Version 03.51
Driver C:\WINDOWS\System32\myodbc3.dll
API Level 2
Setup C:\WINDOWS\System32\myodbc3.dll
SQL Level 1

Also, the Enviroment (Yeah, it's spelled different than in the tab for some reason) box I can't click any of the stuff to change it. And then under the Database tab in the Databases box when I right click I get the Flush options but not create database or anything... I need help, lots of it

I am having the exact same problem, Elkezix

No matter what I do I keep getting the 10017 error. I am trying the minilogin and can't get it to work.

I've tried everything including searching the forum. and nothing.

I even manually updated the database for eqemu.


But I can log into the public servers. But I want to do it on my own. lol.

[Lurker_005]

To create the database, see my above post.

The envoroment in winmysqladmin is display only, see the my.ini edit tab for what you can change. myODBC is not required to run a server, the emu links directly to mySQL myODBC is used by other utilities though, and can be downloaded seperatly from the www.mysql.org

Hey check it, would it be possible... to come out with an emulator version... that worked just off a fresh install? Is that at all possible?

Also i am still testing out my beta update server, i seem to be able to FORCE the logged in computer to download MY version of EQ files. Here is why i am doing this. Lets say that 100 users told 10 friends each about eqemu. Thats 1000 CURRENT & UP TO DATE SoE EQ players that wish to play eq but SoE keeps updating their software. Now what do they need to play on my EQ server??? Well my beta sends them the SAME EXACT signature that the Sony servers send users to tell them wether or not they need to update. Now i have it set so that they will receive the string, and their computer automatically downloads from me. Only 2 problems.. if your a dev and know anything about what im not doing correctly please reply in post....

Symptom:
1. I cannot figure out where in the string sony tells the computer that they are CURRENT, i have only found where they say you are NOT CURRENT.

Q. is there a way that i can set up my update server to automatically determine what setup they have, VIA having my server execute a command on the user end that will send my Server end a file that has the current listings???

2. Whenever a fresh install is made using PoP disc ONLY, i get a weird 2nd packet that is requested from the users end that my server does not have when they try to update off my update server.

Q. What is this packet and why does it not show up in Everquest (original or trillogy)?

My Setup :
Network = hp 64-port fibre channel director switch
Server = Dell PowerEdge 2600
Update Server = Dell Optiplex GX240
Workstations = Dell Precision Workstation 450's (42)
OS = Win XP Professional

The original post has been updated for the EQEmu 4.1 release.

[lunatic987]

I got the eqemu account to actually login.

I had to go into the console mysql.exe and type the following, since the world adduser no longer works at this time.
use eq

then

INSERT INTO account SET name='eqemu', password='eqemu', status 200,lsaccount_id=0;


Now I can get in, but no items, npc's, or anything.... But the doors work!!! lol.

[Elkezix]

Huh? What console? X_X My mysql still says "Not Found" and I can't do anything...

[lunatic987]

ignore the winmysqladmin's message.

if you haven't created the database yet, do the following. If you have, skip to the next part.

make sure you have db.sql in the bin folder first.

open a command prompt (command for win9x, cmd for winnt,2k,xp)

go to the bin folder if it's not already open. (I'm assuming it's in c:\mysql since that is the default)

cd\mysql\bin
mysqladmin create eq

then open mysql.exe and do the following

use eq
source db.sql
INSERT INTO account SET name='eqemu', password='eqemu', status 200,lsaccount_id=0;

then you can login with eqemu/eqemu through everquest with the emu open.ignore the winmysqladmin's message.
