hmm
 

hmm, now World.exe is dead, 2 lines come up and poof :/

No, as long as your DB that you sourced in is in you \mysql\bin directory...

Sounds like you have pooched server files. Try re-downloading the files and redoing it.. Leave the DB unchanged as you dont need to mess with that... Starting from scratch may just be easier anyhow and see what happens (except the DB of course). Or you could open up a dos prompt and change to the directory that contains your world.exe and run it.. This way you can see what it says and it wont close... :)

Make sure that you forward the ports needed for your connection to the loginserver (at least). You may also try forwarding your zone ports, so you can use your external IP... Is your broadband IP static or dynamic? If it is dynamic, then that is your problem... It will change either daily, or when you turn off and then back on your machine. You will have to use something like DynDNS, a website where you can assign a NAME to your IP address, even if it changes, that way you can use the same thing over and over no matter what your IP is (as long as it is through your ISP that you sign up the account with on DynDNS)....

I am using Windows XP, Cabile connection, yes I am using a router, the Firewall is disabled, and I have no clue what kind of IP I am usen just usen what it gave me when I clicked on whatsmyip link and what the cammand prompt gave me when I did the ipconfig. thanks a ton for the help samandhi :D

boot5zones
 

think ive fixed most now, but still 1017 error, i think the major fault is the boot.bat, they get an 10057 error when someone comes in.

no, that was when i shut down world:P but i have svreenshots of world.exe, and zone.exe, but cant upload :/

Re: HOWTO: Setup an EQEmu server as of 03/18/04
 

FIRST STEP:

1. click http://www.mysql.com/get/Downloads/M...ysql.orst.edu/ to download MySQL, after that install the downloaded file

2. click http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/source....5.2-Win32.zip

and http://www.rama.demon.co.uk/5.5DR1VSNETBinaries.zip

My computer has determined that file directly above contains a virus.

whether this is in fact correct or not, my comp wont let off on the virus warnings that its spamming me with: virus name : win95/coke 22231

make of it what you will, i just downloaded the newest files from shawn319's cvs files rather than listening to my computer continue to complain about it.

And what virus does it contain? Please share your knowledge with everyone...

I scanned that file and found nothing.

If you are talkign about:

http://www.rama.demon.co.uk/5.5DR1VSNETBinaries.zip

As far as I know the version I have does not have a virus because I am running Norton Anti-Virus 2004 with the latest virus definitions, I will redownload it tonight to see if it has a virus now but I would say it is unlikely.

He's full of it. I'm totally updated as of 2 seconds before I downloaded that file and scanned it again. There's no virus. Nice way for him to start off his legacy here...first post and he's full of crap. :evil:

Rofl I think thats his signature guys :D

Then what the heck did he post for? lol

thats what i was trying to figure out

There's no line above it. Notice everyone else's sig has a line above it?

This is true. Well he is full of himself because I have Norton Antivirus 2004 edition and I have yet to run into a virus on any of these files.

sometimes i think the worst virus is the person at the keyboard

I think this is a nice way to sum up the last few comments...

I was trying to follow this tutorial and set this all up i got this far

2. Right-click the desktop, go to New > Text file, name it MySQL.bat, edit it to include this and then save it.

Code:
cd\mysql\bin
mysql -u root mysql


anytime you need to enter something in the MySQL command line just run MySQL.bat.

3. Run MySQL.bat and type:

Code:
grant all privileges on *.* to username@localhost identified by 'password' with grant option;


(replace username/password with your winmysqladmin username//password)

Press Enter....type:

Code:
create database eq;


Press Enter....type:

Code:
use eq;


Press Enter....type:

Code:
source MW055_alpha_02.sql;


Lots of stuff should fly by with no errors. Type:

Code:
quit

I right clicked the desktop make the text file named it that wrote cd\mysql\bin
mysql -u root mysql that in it saved it and then ughh my nooberness kicked in and i just got confused it says to run the file and type all that stuff in and ugh maybe im missing somthing but i dont understand it how do u run a text file do i just type all that stuff in there or isnt it suppost to be a text file anymore.. help please lol

P.S. can somone explain to me the diffrence between External IP and Internal IP .. and a fast way to figure out what both are.. i have Windows 98 SE and run dsl on my computer which is hooked up to a router with 4 other computers..

how do i do this... i dont get it ...
Edit boot5zones.bat and make sure it looks like this:

Code:
REM: ****Read this first!!!****

REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "YourIP" when you are connecting
REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.

REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say 127.0.0.1

REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1

REM:--------------Start-----------------------
@echo off

if NOT exist spells_us.txt goto NOSPELL

start zone . YourExternalIP 7995 YourInternalIP
start zone . YourExternalIP 7996 YourInternalIP
start zone . YourExternalIP 7997 YourInternalIP
start zone . YourExternalIP 7998 YourInternalIP
start zone . YourExternalIP 7999 YourInternalIP
exit
cls

:NOSPELL
echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.
PAUSE

REM:---------------END------------------------

Read the guides... :)

well obviously im posting on one guide ...
after the boot5zones.bat it doesnt tell u how to name server or anything unless i have misread it 5 times

NM lol sorry i got it up :) but its 5.2 ...
Anyway i can update it to 5.5 ?

Update Binaries

and where do i get binaries and how do i update them .. sorry new at this

Download the 5.5 DR-1 Binaries:

http://www.rama.demon.co.uk/5.5DR1VSNETBinaries.zip

Unzip that to your EQEmu folder..shoud be something like C:\EQEmu

Click YES TO OVERWRITE FILES when a window pops up.

That should do it.
