Help with server setup

ok I followed the setup from the guide from 5.0 perfectly up until the msdos promt in the "Get EQEMu Source From CVS" section and it has a note about neglecting the above part if you get this error message

Quote:

'cvs' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

now I followed it the best I could but its not working and if anyone can help, the line in my path is
"%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\S ystem32\Wbem;%VDMS%;c:\EqEmu\cvs\wincvs;c:\EqEmu\c vs\wincvs\CVSNT;c:\mysql\bin"
Please help!

thanks for the fast reply I will give it a try

well got everything running, except I can't see the server when I log in I am thinking it has something to do with the world server connecting to a diff address from the login, if i am wrong please correct me otherwise ill just take a look around the forums

oh by the way if I change the serverport in loginserver.ini to the output in the world server, the wolrd server closes upon startup

Post what your loginserver.ini and boot5zones.bat looks like. Also post what comes up when you run world.exe and boot5zones.bat.

forgive me for my ignorance but I dont use dos much how can I copy it?

well here is the login anyway

Quote:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=24.209.23.53
loginport=5999
worldname=Norrath
worldaddress=24.209.23.53
locked=false

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999

This is what your loginserver should look like if you want your server to appear on the EqEmu server select screen

Code:

[LoginServer]

loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net

loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net

loginserver3=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net

loginport=5997

loginport2=5997

loginport3=5997

worldname=&lt;server name>

worldaddress=&lt;your IP>

locked=false





[WorldServer]

Defaultstatus=0

Unavailzone=



[LoginConfig]

ServerMode=Standalone

ServerPort=5999

UplinkAddress=

UplinkPort=

UplinkAccount=

UplinkPassword=

even if I am wanting to play offline?
*scratch this wasnt thinking*

also I tryed it with that login and it didnt change anything that I can see.

I am sorry I didnt tell you I am using minilogin and trying to just play offline, the minilogin has errors on lines 1,2 and 4 but I suspect that is just account lines that arent used and are registering with the login for some reason.

Sorry, I dont know a whole lot about minilogin...but try going here and following this guide

http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12644

oh ok, well I used that guide to setup but for whatever reason I still can't see my server in the list....but thanks anyway.

I was wondering if anyone could help me I found out I had a bunch of other errors going on and I fixed all of them, I still can't see my server on my personal server list, and I have a problem where the world server wont load eq time file. I dont know if its because I have never actully made into the game or what please help someone

I think its mentioned somewhere in all the documents/guides but can't remember exactly.

Sorry no idea on the eqtime file problem.

actully I tried that, it didnt work and I just figured out how to copy stuff from dos ahem :) so here are my minilogin world and zone outputs for anyone to help!

You need to change it to 5999 in your loginserver.ini file for minilogin, and also make sure your eqhost.txt file says the same....

Change all instances of your ip to either localhost or 127.0.0.1 if you are playing on minilogin....(as long as you are playing on the same computer you are running the server from)

Hey I am sorry I ment to post that Furyfitz helped me with that problem actully. Thanks anyway though, now I have that darned 1017 and there was no way I couldnt since I had just installed eq, if you know an older version of eqemu binaries that works for eq evolution I could do it again I guess. but when I runt hat patcher I am in trouble unless you can tell me the filename that screws it then Maybe I can backup the original and copy it. If not I need 5.5 binaries!!!! I posted about why I can't compile it myself on the one stop error thread.

Unless you are patched to just prior the 10th patch (read from Jan 24 to Feb 09th or something close to that) then there is just NO way to play on 0.5.3... If you cant compile the 0.5.5 then you will just have to wait for the release, and play on someone else's 0.5.5 servers... Sorry...
