Make sure you downloaded the windows version and not the linux/unix one...

*sigh* Ok, got Mysql to work. Now, I am having a problem with the creating a database by right clicking on the hsot name. All that it is giving me is some flush options in the drop down menu...

The search button is your best friend.

Thats a problem with the new windows mysqladmin tool.

Search for 'flush database' and you'll find the answer about 104 times.

Ok, I have been able to understand everything so far, except adding the lines to the boot5zones.bat file. I just doesn't give me the option, it runs a few windows then finishes giving me the directory the eqemu is in, without letting me modify anything...

Oh, I forgot one other thing, now when I run the boot5zones thing, i get illigal operation error...

Editing Boot5.bat
 

right click on the boot5.bat icon and it gives you the option to edit from there

im trying to the the step in CMD where you go:

c:\eqemu\world adduser eqemu eqemu 200

but it says

couldn't open db.ini!!

i dont see what im doin wrong here...

when i try to load minilogin it says "Incomplete LoginServer.INI file"
whats wrong? :(

PLEASE assist me in helping
 

Ok here is the line,
here is what comes out,

FRESH installation of Windows XP
1.6 Ghz; 768 Megs DDR; ATI Radeon 8500 128DDR
Using the EXACT version of MySQL as in the instructions.

did you make sure you did granted all the privilages to the user "test"??

For those using the new world.exe look at the following.

look here http://forums.eqemu.net/viewtopic.php?p=26918#26918

It will explain what you should do now.

They broke the commands for world.exe and you have to manually add them yourself till they fix it.


For you, you do need to grant permission to test. by doing the following:

you can also do the following
Grant all privileges on *.* to 'username' Identified by 'password';

No server? What is going On?
 

I followed your instructions perfectly, it seems everything is working fine.. no errors of any kind, but when I log in to the spot where is shows all the servers, it shows none. in the loginserver.ini I put the world name and ip and everything but still my world will not show up. :cry: any suggestions?

did you run minilogin, then world, then boot5zones.bat then eq?

and did you set up boot5zones.bat correctly?

If you need to, in most cases you can replace localhost with 127.0.0.1 and make sure localhost is one word. it may (and probably won't) work if it is local host.

otherwise, anyone else have any ideas? lol, I removed eq until the emulator is fixed again, and the database addon is done, so that I can have the hard drive space to play other things.

Error 1017.... HELP i think i need patch 4.1 but i got it i dont know where to unzip it though PLEASE HELP!

-------20-------

Its me again :D ....You lost me in that first post.... i dont even think i have some of that stuff? is there a place to Download all that so i dont have to do anything? :D That would make me Happy :D

i can do step #1 easily (which i did) but Step 2, i dont know what he means??? or Mysql thing :?

Well... I need to Unzip 4.1 to something and i havent found out... evertime i go on it it says EQW Beta 2.32, Can anyone help me out?

-------20-------

Holy Crap i posted 4 Times in a Row...

I tried going to your links above for posting problems but the link did not work so here I am. Everything seems to be working fine, except when I try to flag eqemu from the command prompt. I got into my eqemu folder (c:\eqemu) but when I type the following command:
world.exe flag eqemu 200
Everything works fine until it gets to the following I get an error:
Worlf server listening on: port 9000
Error: LoginServer: :Connect: 'TCPConnection: :Connect<>: connect <> failed. Error 10061'

I am running this on a single computer with Windows 2000 Pro. with latest patches, updates and all that. This computer has over 700mb of RAM, plenty of HD space.
Thank you for taking the time to help me.
I went ahead and followed the rest of the directions but when I ran EQW (I did not know what u meant about eqgame.exe patch) when I got to the login screen my username and password eqemu did not work.

world.exe doesn't accept any arguments in 0.4.1+.

Try downloading EQAdmin and add an account "eqemu" with password "eqemu", commit the change, then change the status to 200, then commit that change.

See how you go then :)

I'm assuming you read the post, as I did, about "if you get error 1017, try this" and found that not to solve the error that you're most likely getting with minilogin. Bummer. Me too. I'm about to try something different. MOHAA just recommended I try his "best local lan setup I can make" post in the "Tutorials and how-to's" section. You might also want to read the extra bit of advice he told me in reply to my post "Does v4.2 db.sql work by itself?" in the Win32 support. Myself, I've been working on this for over a week now, about to give up. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I haven't actually reinstalled Everquest since I reinstalled Windows fresh on my computer, wiping out my old configuration (mind you, I have directx 8.1 and all my drivers updated). I'm just running EQ from the program files\Everquest folder without an official re-install. It always worked before like that, playing Eqlive or Eqemu. When you're running out of combinations of things to try, these are the kinds of things that run through your mind. More likely though, is you and I should be trying Eqemu 0.4.1 with telmet's database, like MOHAA recommended.

Code?
 

What do you mean by, download the lastest code?
What code and where is it?

Please reply to this!
Thanks,

Patching EQ
 

I have the original game cd. Is it possible to download a patch so that I don't need to connect to the EQ Servers to update?

Any ideas on what is going wrong here? I am running EQEmu 0.4.3 and I am pretty sure all my files up to date.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sephik

I've had to modify a few things he told us to do, cause they weren't working.. IE: Right click on my name is databases and create one called EQ.. I found out how to do that, but got stuck a few other times...

Could someone AIM me? dtKurbytb. thank you!

Hi when I log in to the game I look on my server windows and there are no servers? Everything works fine other than that anyone able to help me?

MYSQL = Not working for me!
 

Hello, I recently tried to make my own server, but i am running into one problem...MYSQL, doesn't work. I followed sticky's easy server thing on the forum, did everything it says to do. The problem is everytime I download it, I open it then it just shutsdown. So what i did was remove it then redownloaded from another source from the same site, and still it keep heppening.
