Emu Guide For Idiots

[ldrakken]

I am new to EQEMU. I have herd great things about it, but also that it is a bear to setup. As a person who was once an Everquest addict, and no longer has access to the internet due to the phone companies screwed up lines. I am trying to find out how to setup my own EQEMU system by using my computer at work to find any files, and information I may need. If I have to do any updates to Everquest game itself I can manage that by taking the PC to work. I only want to just be able to play on a single PC. I am currently running XP. SO the question is what all do I need and in what order do I do them in? If someone could please send me this information I would be very thankful.

The readme can take care of nearly all of what you need. but a quick rundown.

mySQL from www.mysql.org
get the odbc drivers too while your at it
eqemu win32 files, minilogin, and db (linked from the latest news post)
For spawns and such, get my latest DB release from the worldbuilders forum. (don't use the magelo items atm)
a patched copy of everquest <-- hardest one for someone without internet at home.

Thanks Friend. I brought my PC up to work. When bossman isnt around I will patch it and download all I need. He best not say anything considering I caught him on some porn chat channels, and newsgroups.
