Eqemu: Wrong nickname or password

[Hmm]

i has sucessfully set publiclogin to work but it wont accept my normal account i set in eqadmin?

or does it store it elsewhere?

apperently if its same computer as the server the ip MUST be set as 127.0.0.1 if you want to log in from same computer as login server.

heres what i did..

downloaded lurker's account macro and choice.exe it needs ( nice batch work!! )

made this batch file to automate input

start set-login eq Server TheSuperPassword 192.168.0.2
pause

start set-login eq Hmm RandomPassword 127.0.0.1

make sure this new batch and lurkers is in same dir. run the new batch file, when the new window appears press a then z when back in choices menu.

now run all servers see if theres any errors etc. if theres NO error then

go back to first window and press any key. a new window will appear again but this time just press b then z when back in menu window.

now start eq and log in and enjoy the fun!

eqadmin was based on 0.2.6 and stores info in accounts.
0.3.0 and 0.3.1 store the info login_accounts. so its not going to work. I have only been able to make it work by entering them line by line in the mysql consol. Would be nice if the publiclogin.exe had commands for add or remove accounts...hehe **hint hint** :p

also how can you make sql purge unused account_id number so they can be reused? anybody know?

[Ruzkz]

if you're asking how to delete an account: DELETE FROM login_accounts WHERE id = <id of account to delete>;
(don't forget the WHERE part )

If you mean when you insert an account and the id it gives you is not in sequence you can use (from readme):
update login_accounts set id='whateveryouwant' where name='usersname';

to move it to.

yeah, i got that working already. with the accout_id being the primary key you have to manually edit the account in sql to get it be 12 or less. was wondering if we can make the id a nonprimary key. In which case when you create the account you can specify by entering the id number. seems like im chasing number trying to get accounts made. just my 2cp

See http://forums.eqemu.net/showthread.p...;threadid=1471 for seting up publiclogin easily.

For the publiclogin don't try to add the accounts to the account table, you only need to work with the login_* tables

NOTE: Setup the worldserver account, run the emu. Then when creating and loging in accounts for the first time, do it WHILE the server is running.

[Hmm]

ohh i didnt run login server when i was setting accounts. gues thats where i went wrong on. thanks!

[Hmm]

i must be still doing something wrong. i made a batch file to run your batch file since theres no way to input variables in windows :P

anyway i ran login server, i picked a to set worldserver settings then b to set my account.

both had no errors at all.

but when i log into server it still says 'bad userpass/password"

If running all on the same computer

Run the batch file, and chose A
Start your server, it should run without any errors.
Then go back to the batch file and chose C
Now log in with the client (worldserver and the client are using the same account here)


If running server on 1 and a client on another computer

Run the batch file, and chose A and exit
Start your server, it should run without any errors.
Run the batch file with different user/pass/ip info and chose B
Now log in with the client


Once you login you should be set. I havn't checked if you can login from a different IP once your authenticated. But with this batch file it is pretty easy to add accounts, or wipe em and start over.

[Hmm]

i did exactly what you suggested but i still am getting same error. i triple verified the acct and pw is correct.

[Lurker_005]

Hmm <- no not you, I am thinking

Hmm, <- That is you (sorry couldn't resist)

The error is when the client logs in correct?

And the IP for that login is the same as the computer loging in?

While I don't know if it matters or not, make sure you don't have the same user in the accounts table.

Also if running all on the same computer, try to second option anyhow. (creating a second login)

[Hmm]

ok made new account but its still same error.

[morpheus014]

I have a problem very similar to this, so if anyone who posts a fix on this can u also post on mine (listed as problems w/ login.exe on network) Thanks in advance!

[Lurker_005]

It sounds like your doing things right.

Lets try this, you describe what your doing in as much detail as you can. Step by step preferably starting with a new(or different) database.
