Having Problems

[MagicalRage]

I am trying to set up my own server and am having many problems.

I'm not really sure what information you will need to help, but if you need it let me know and i can post it.

After you download Minilogin where is it suppose to be located?
Also the file MiniLoginAccounts.ini where is that suppose to go?

Why does World.exe close when i try to open it?
is it suppose to do that or does it matter?

What is world.exe suppose to say if it is working correctly?

When i run it through ms-dos promt i get ...

Using database 'eq' at localhost
[Status] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.3
[Error] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.4.3
Loading Variables, zone names & items...
LoadEMuShareMemDLL::Load() failed error=120
Error: Could not load item data

What is LoadEMuShareMemDLL?
Do I need it? Where do i get it? Where do i put it?

thanks for any help anyone can give

Probably it says that there is no loginserver running.

No. First execute minilogin.exe than world.exe

it is included in any eqemu package (e.g. 0.4.3-Win32.zip)
just unzip everything as it is in the eqemu folder

:idea: in the eqemu/documents folder there are 3 html docs. They should help you to set up your server correctly

ok thanks for the help, still got more questions tho =)

I assume I need to get minilogin running correctly before anything else and I need some help with that

I looked at the site C:\EQEmu\documents\serversetup.html

and it says

***Minilogin Info***
Before exiting mysql.exe you will need to enter in another command to be able to use your minilogin account

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

do i type that exactly like that or do i replace anything?

as of now without doing that when i run minilogin i get

Couldn't open the LoginServer.ini file.
Couldn't open the MiniLoginAccounts.ini file.
Server mode: Standalone
Login server listening on port:5999

also I was only able to put a shortcut to minilogin in the EQEMu file
does that matter?
if so, how do i make it the regular thing and not a shortcut?

another question .. how do you find your IP address?
its says i need the IP address seen by the internet, not an internal network IP (i.e. NOT 192.168.x.x)

thanks for anyhelp

Posted Twice .. sorry

[imasianman]

you type the 'INSERT INTO...' in mysql exactly how it is... but you need to be using your database by typing 'use eq;' without the quotations

the couldn't open soandso.ini file, make sure you changed everything in LoginServer.ini to 127.0.0.1 or localhost
and to make the MiniLoginAccounts.ini just copy LoginServer.ini paste it in your eqemu folder, rename it to MiniLoginAccounts.ini, open it erase everything in there and put '127.0.0.1 eqemu eqemu' without the quotes and save it.

umm try cutting the minilogin exe file and pasting it to your eqemu folder

go to www.whatismyip.com for your ip, but if you're running your own server 127.0.0.1 or localhost will work.

ok i got minilogin to work... doing the cut and paste thing helped, thanks

when i run minilogin it says

LoginServer.ini read.
MiniLoginAccounts.ini read.
Server mode: Standalone
Login server listening on port:5999

which i assume is right anyway..

but im still having problems with world.exe closing when i open it
and it says LoadEMuShareMemDLL::Load() failed error=120

i did a search for that file and didnt get anything so i think i need it..

im also getting the error: could not load item data

don't know what to do .. but im making progess .. thanks for the help

try downloading the binary again from this site and use the whatever.dll it's complaining about.

some are different sizes, i think the one that should work is the 100ish kb one

the other error about the item data is with your database, i think.
for whatever db.sql you're using try to find addons for it or just do a 'drop database eq;' in mysql and recreating a new one with a new db.sql

I suppose you did not source the db.sql that is in the eqemu zip file. To resolve the problem, just source it in your mysql database.
