Ok and then theres some stuff in the listed folder but, thats too much.

Umm, i did overwrite the world zone and that other file (forgot which one)

The packeges i downloaded are
EQEmu-0.5.2-Win32
EQEmu-0.5.3-DR3-Source&Win32
mysql-3.23.58-win
EQEmu-0.5.5-DR1-Source.rar (i didnt use this yet)


If you need any more information i will gladly post it. Thank you in advanced

I forgot some of my questions too...

1: IF there are no errors on which of what i listed above. Why doesnt my server pop up

2:I read that, where is my database? lol

You have to install mysql and load the database

Umm mysql is installed. Atleast it says so on my add/remove programs list but i dont see an icon :?

What database do i load?

Go to the world builders forum. you will find a sticky there with a list of available databases and links to them.

First off you will need to follow this: I noticed you have spells_us NOT spells_en...

ALso, set all instances of IP address to localhost or 127.0.0.1 if you are playing on the same computer that your server is on... If not then use your internal IP address.

Note that you will have to have the eq client (the game) pathed up to current but before 2/10/04 in order to play on server version 0.5.3......... 0.5.2 you will not be able to play as there is no way to backwards-patch to the date that would be required to make it compatible with this version of the server.

You will also have to compile (if it isnt in your folder) emusharmem.dll.

You dont have to take a picture of what those things are, just use bbcode to put it in code or brackets. Dont have to but just makes the actual contents of the files easier to read...

Make note of this. If, when you created the file in notepad, you pressed space after the last eqemu, THEN pressed return to go to the next line, you will have an error... You MUST leave the cursor on the same line and press save-as..... JUST an F.Y.I. for you.

So i need to get Spells_en in my folder
Grab a database thing from the other forum

Since im going to play on THIS computer only, offline. Ill need 127.0.0.1 instead of my internal IP

Umm, i just reinstalled EQ and patched it overnight last night. POP and Luclin. So i can only play on 5.2 servers?

Download emusharmem.dll. and compile

And on the minilogin account there is no extra line so it is done right.


Ok i think thats what i gathered up. I have a hard time comprehending things so thank you for your time

o, i see why you asked if there was a empty space on that one ini file...

Umm, i hate to be a burden but since this is my first time using any extraction tools and such (i used winace before but this is kinda different)

i was looking around for some answers on what else i should do with the database but i dont know what most of these things are

Such as

cd...thats the only one i can think of right now
But anything having to do with cmd prompt thing.

Btw i downloaded the Myra DB. And i just found out where my winmysqladmin file is located but i dont know how to use that either... :?

there's a program called mysql in the same folder... that's the one you will use to source the db in

When i click on mysql it comes up as a blank DOS window and says something really fast then shuts off and goes BEEP

I must be missing something :cry:

Until the 0.5.5 DR1 becomes a release and not dev (read you have to compile the files), you will only be able to play on 0.5.5 servers, if you indeed DID patch anytime after the 10th of this month... So unless you are making a 0.5.5 DR1 server, you WONT be able to play on your own server....

[edit] This also means you dont need to download ANYTHING, if you are just going to play on someone else's server... Just need to change your eqhost.txt file.... See the guide on How To Play on EQEMu, in the tutorials and howtos forum here..

You need to run it via a command prompt window, not just double clicking. Read the sticky at the top of the page telling you how...
