HOWTO: Setup an EQEmu server as of 06/01/2004
This guide assumes you are using Microsoft Windows and have basic knowledge of computers and Windows and how to create batch/text files. Nothing I post here is supported, but I will try to answer any questions. I am not a programmer and my knowledge of the MySQL databases is very limited but I am learning as I go along. Just a fyi, DR stands for Developers Release, which means it is not official. You will need WinRAR to open some of the files. If you have a router look here Router Guide, if you have a firewall it needs to be configured to allow access to the ports.
I highly recommend downloading MySQL-Front to manage your database. Other third-party programs I recommend for managing your database such as items, loot, merchants, factions, etc. Sandy's Loot Editor 1.2 Mangoo's Item Editor 1.9.1 capusr5's IEQ FIRST STEP: 1. Download MySQL 4.0.18 , after that install the downloaded file 2. click 5.7-DR3 3. click EQEMu 5.6 Config and download EQEmu-0.5.6-Configuration.zip 4. Extract everything to C:\EQEmu 5. Download ProjectEQ.com Alpha 1 database Download Govtcheeze loot updates Extract them to C:\mysql\bin SECOND STEP: 1. Browse to C:\mysql\bin and run winmysqladmin.exe, enter a username and password. 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 3. Run MySQL.bat and type: Code:
grant all privileges on *.* to username@localhost identified by 'password' with grant option;Press Enter....type: Code:
create database eq;Code:
use eq;Code:
source MW_057DR2_alpha_1.sql;Lots of stuff should fly by with no errors. Type: Code:
source loot_update.sql;Lots of stuff should fly by with no errors. Type: Code:
source npc_types_update.sql;Lots of stuff should fly by with no errors. Type: Code:
quitTHIRD STEP: 1. Open db.ini and make sure it looks like this: Code:
[Database]Code:
[LoginServer]You can find your External IP by going to http://www.whatismyip.com and your Internal IP by running the command prompt and typing IPCONFIG 3. Edit boot5zones.bat and make sure it looks like this: Code:
REM: ****Read this first!!!**** 5. Close Everything, Browse to C:\EQEmu and run World.exe, after it is done, run boot5zones.bat and you are ready to go. |
The 0.5.5 binaries are down atm because Rex's website banwith was exceeded. I will get them up again soon.
|
Here is the site to download the 0.5.5 DR1 binaries from
http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13409 update it on the guide :D |
I've updated the link at my site to point to your main page Nilar.
|
This is great.. gonna try it out tomorrow.
look out for an all gm server>< p.s i'll be watching :!: :?: :!: :?: |
hmm i dont have debugworld.exe or zonedebug.exe just going to skip that step see if it works any reson it shouldnt?
|
Yes rofl, thats a very important step.
You need World.exe and Zone.exe If you have Worlddebug.exe and zonedebug.exe rename them world and zone. |
no i already have world and zone.exe but it says delete them and rename zonedebug and worlddebug
i do not have zonedebug or world debug im trying to run world.exe and getting this error Code:
Code:
im sure my un and password are the same i used with winmysqladmin peace |
Redo the grant all privileges command in mysql. I get this error when I dont enter that command correctly.
|
Also Worlddebug = World and Zonebug = Zone
The guide is just saying to rename them if the are named with debug after them. |
so the whole debug renaming thing doesnt matter as mine are already renamed cool
ill try re granting privliges |
ok ive re granted the privliges sevrel times now
still getting the same errors im also trying to set up a server with minilogon but i get the same error |
i got the [loginserver] block not found in "./loginserver.ini"
after i run the world.exe |
thats because you have a space at the end of one of your lines in the LoginServer.ini file
|
wow im impressed thanks for the fiX
IM getting an error bout incorrect servername now though but i think i might know what to do :) |
ok i found the error there server name was too short
but now i can logon see my server up but whe i goto connect i get a #1017 error i should add this is using minilogin.exe for a localhost i found this lil piece in world.exe when i exit eq Code:
New client from ip: 127.0.0.1 port: 1913 127.0.0.1: Wrong name/pass: name='eqemu' Removing client from ip:127.0.0.1 port:1913im not sure where it got eqemu but it might be when i added this account Code:
INSERT INTO account (id, name, charname, packencrypt, sharedplat, password, status, lsaccount_id, gmspeed, revoked) VALUES (1, 'eqemu', '', '', 0, 'eqemu', 250, NULL, 0, 0);Code:
INSERT INTO account (id, name, charname, packencrypt, sharedplat, password, status, lsaccount_id, gmspeed, revoked) VALUES (2, 'MYLOGIN', '', '', 0, 'MYPASSWORD', 250, NULL, 0, 0);im going to try get my server online (not minilogin) later tonight or tommorow i know im asking alot of questions :) peace mushy |
you get eqemu in world.exe from your miniloginaccounts.ini
It does not match the pass you set in the accounts table. Check that first line of MiniloginAccounts.ini has your client's ip adress, then a space, then eqemu, then a space, then the pass, then a space before end of line. i hope it's of some help. |
ok tried that but i still get the erorr about it saying loss of conectivity
|
i have the same problem too
|
ok i fixxed the connectivity error (see a post about minilogin problems a couple threads down)
now i can get in create a character and logong where after loading the game runs and crashes almost immeaditly anyone know why btw im running p4 2.6 ghz 256mb of ram peace |
where are the db.ini and zoneserverlogin.ini at??
|
db.ini is in the 0.5.2 zip files and there is no zoneserverlogin.ini, if you mean LoginServer.ini it is in the 0.5.2 zip also.
|
If the loginserver.ini and db.ini dont look the same do we edit them so they look the same and where it says your IP address and Mysqlname or mysqlpassword do we put in our mysql name and password and IP address?? thx for the help with my small confusions :D
|
Check the guide lol. It explains everything there
|
If you can't figure this guide out then honestly you shouldn't try to run a server, take my advice.
|
like i said mines going i just crash
nothing in the guide bout that |
I am getting this error also when I run world.exe and I have done what nilar said to do to re grant privaliges in mysql and its not doing anything
Code:
Code:

I keep getting the error spells_en.txt was not copied to directory when I start up zones5boot, and, I did copy and paste it from EQ, but it still wont work? Am I supposed to put it in to another folder other than the main EQEmu folder?
Been working on trying to get my server up for 3 days now and I am almost there =) |
You need spells_us.txt too.
|
I have finished my server and its unlocked its on the server selaction screen but when I try to log on it I get the error 1017 I have used search and found a bunch of things but I none of them seemed to work. :cry: I am using a cable connection, windows XP (the firewall is truned off). Would it be better using windows 98 or a dialup connection or does that not matter. This 1017 error is really starting to &#$# me :x off and I am just out of ideas and don't know what to do anymore. Any help would be great. thanks :D
p.s. Jezebell this is a very good guide :D |
Server
Everything worked perfect when i made it! good help here! but i cant log on to it from EQemu:P i get a 1017.. any suggestions? Thanks for answers =)

Well, to start with you will need to provide us with more information for us to be able to help you... Please post your loginserver.ini, load5zones.bat, eqhost.txt files, and past the output of your world.exe and zone.exe when you try and log on and get this error...
|
Well, i get no errors, so here is my Db.ini:

Then i run EQemu as usual, and get the 1017..

There is nothing wrong with any of that coregamer10 that I can see.

@coregamer10
There are a couple of things to change here that may or may not solve the issue, but will help things later down the road.. The first thing (and this is PROBABLY what is causing your 1017), make your server name longer... Also in DB.ini change it to localhost (that probalby wont matter, but just in case it seems to like localhost better than 127.0.0.1 on some machines, go figure). Are you using a dynamic IP or static? Are you using a router that needs to be configured to forward the ports needed by EQEMu? Do you have a firewall that needs to be disabled? If you do NOT know the answers to all of those questions, try this: Change all instances where you put your IP to say localhost and or 127.0.0.1 and see if you can connect...(except your world address) This will ensure that the only thing you HAVE to make sure works (internet-wise) is your connection to the loginserver, the rest will be read directly from your machine without looping back... Try these things, if they dont work post back here, and we'll see what we cant do... @Longear You have this: Quote:
This is the meat and potatoes of your problem (probably) you have this: Quote:
Code:
[LoginServer] Also, the questions I asked earlier DO apply to you too. Such as, do you have a router? Do you use a dynamic IP and so on... |
lol, now nothing works:P starting from scratch with your ini's :)
|
one fact!: i have mysql in C: and eqemu in h: . . doews taht make a diff?
|
Samadhi: i have a broadband, with routers, and windows firewall is not up. ill try the longer name thing, and the ip :)
