- - Missing world? (https://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=40071)

Hi all. Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but here goes. I have been running my private server with Titanium client for a little while, but got my hands on Rain of Fear (not clear at this point if it's RoF or RoF2). I can get past the log in to the server select screen, but my server isn't listed. Any ideas? Everything that I can think of looks like it should be working and I seem to have all the required files that I should have. I can connect to EZ Server just fine, just not my private one.

Thanks!

Titanium/SoF connect to login servers via port 5998. SoD/UF/RoF connect via port 5999. Make sure you've got your eqhost.txt set appropriately!

I have it set on 5999. I can log into the server select just fine. My server's just not showing up.

My most recent compile is maybe 2 days ago.

Ah, if you've recompiled recently, then check your world.exe window. It may be on the auto-update script awaiting your commands to stage and then apply database updates.

Ok, here's what I get from world.exe when I start the server...

Yeah, world's loading up fine. Any errors showing up in logs/*.txt ?

The only thing odd I can find is in a login log that says "[Network] [10.05.15 - 17:43:18] ServerManager listening on port 5998", which maybe is nothing, but shouldn't it be listening on port 5999?

Nah, that's normal. It's listening on both. Does it say "New world connection from 127.0.01:blahblah" and "Server (Your Name Here) successfully logged in" after those lines?

No. The Server Started line is the last one.

I tried to cross all my T's and dot all my I's before posting, but this one has me stumped lol.

Does it work if you connect from Titanium? If so, and the client's the only difference, then maybe you're missing the .conf files for the newer clients in your server folder.

It works great with Titanium, and in my server folder I have everything from https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/tree.../utils/patches, unless what I have are older versions of what's there.

You have a firewall rule on the server that's allowing connections to come in on 5998 but not a rule to allow for 5999?

Not a firewall rule that I set myself. Where would I look for that?

Server itself may have firewall rules to be opened up, too. Windows Firewall or whatever Linux equivalent if that's your game.

Not that I set myself. Where would I look for that?

In Windows, open Control Panel and type a search for 'firewall' to find it.

Though if you didn't set up the rule for 5998, I wouldn't think you'd have to go in and add a rule for 5999.

You're using up all the easy fixes, you bastard! Hehe.

Bahahaha, gotta keep you on your toes :)

I double checked the Firewall on both Windows and the router and they look good.

Disabled Firewall to try it just in case. No go.

Paste your eqhost.txt and eqemu_config.xml (after removing your usernames/passwords) in code blocks and maybe something will stick out.

eqhost.txt

How up-to-date is your server code?

The entire server was installed a couple days ago after I broke my previous one horribly lol, so everything should be up to date.

Yeah, given that, my thought is off the table...

Did you change your server's address between the Titanium and RoF attempts?

I don't think that you can use an external login server when on localhost.

The only thing that's changed between the two attempts is going from 5998 to 5999.

Maybe a corrupted RoF installation. Or an incompatible version of the Rof client.

Could be. Can try downloading again and see what happens.

Take a look at this too, when that is finished:

Code:

                <loginserver>

                        <host>127.0.0.1</host>

                        <port>5999</port>

Pretty sure that needs to be 5998.

I thought 5998 was for Titanium and 5999 was for RoF?

that's for the eqhost file only.

Uleat nailed it. I changed it back to 5998 in eqemu_config.xml but left it 5999 in eqhost.txt and was able to get in just fine. Thanks!
