5.0 minilogin unable to connect to world server
 

I have the latest 0.50 CVS, the 0.5.0+ minilogin.exe and the latest db.sql downloaded from the CVS site.
However the world server seems to be unable to connect to the login server. The world server gives this
error :

Login server responded with FatalError. Disabling reconnect.
Error message: 'Bad server name. Unknown reason.'
127.0.0.1:5999: TCPConnection::RecvData(): Error: 10054

and the minilogin server gives this error:

Server failed name check: 127.0.0.1:1875

The server name I normally use is "eqemu" but I have tried changing it to other names, which gives the same
error.

This is the data in loginserver.ini:
[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
loginport=5999
worldname=eqemu
worldaddress=localhost
locked=false

Strangely, the old 0.44 minilogin connected OK, but it gave an "incorrect version" message in the EQ client.

I dont use minilogin, but the 0.5.0 minilogin might run on 5997 instead of 5999.. Thats a big guess though...

Try a longer server name. Server name of BUCKS was no good but BAD_ASS_BOB worked.

Thanks for the help, after increasing the server name length it works OK now.
A couple of bug/broken feature reports (probably been reported already, but just in case)

- NPCs do not equip items in their inventory.
- Looted items are transferred directly to your inventory when clicked on, they cannot be picked up on the cursor.
- Throwing weapons do not appear to work (haven't tried archery yet)

I'll post more when I get the time to try out 0.5.0 more and will also post a new
beta version of my DB addon, once I confirm it works OK with 0.5.0
