Patch To EQLive
Run the normal Everquest patcher to bring your files up to date. You can verify that your files are up to date by connecting to the Sony servers and playing around on a character.
Point EQ to EQEMu
Open Notepad: Click Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad
Inside of Notepad, Click File -> Open
Navigate to your EQ directory (Typically c:\program files\everquest)
Open the file eqhost.txt
REPLACE everything in the file with the following:
[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
}
Save the file
Change your Data Rate

Navigate to your EQ directory (Typically c:\program files\everquest)
Open the file DataRate.txt
REPLACE everything in the file with the following:
8.0
Save the file
Make shortcut to run EQEMu
Open Windows Explorer
Navigate to your Everquest directory. Typically, this is c:\program files\everquest.
Locate the file eqgame.exe. This may take a while!
Using the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON, click and drag eqgame.exe from Windows Explorer to the desktop. This is what you should see:
In the menu that pops up after you complete the drag, select Create Shortcuts Here
A new icon has now been created on your desktop.
Right click on the newly created icon and select "Properties" on the menu.
In the Properties window that pops up, find the Target field on the Shortcut tab.
At the end of the text in this field, add a space with the space bar and then type in the word patchme. You should see something like the following:
Click OK in the properties window to save your change.
Create a forum account.
Visit
http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/pro...?mode=register to create a forum account. If you already have one, there's no need to create another.
Play EQEMu!
Double click on the icon created above on your desktop
NOTE: If you receive the message "Please run EverQuest.exe", you forgot to add patchme to your shortcut - which is part of this tutorial!
Logon to EQ like normal - USE YOUR FORUM ACCOUNT NAME AND PASSWORD TO LOGON TO EQEMU. Do not use your Sony station name and password.
If you receive the message "Invalid station name", you forgot to change eqhost.txt - which is part of this tutorial!
Connect to any servers that have a version number 0.5.0 or greater. You will not be able to connect to any previous versions.
