just want to make sure of something
 

I finally smartened up and made a complete copy of my everquest folder to use just with eqemu.

I am using 5.7 DR4
database source MW_057DR2_alpha_1.sql
Everquest patched up until today 6-9-04
Using minilogin

added my account info into the database
INSERT INTO account (id, name, charname, packencrypt, sharedplat, password, status, lsaccount_id, gmspeed, revoked) VALUES (2, 'eqemuusername', '', '', 0, 'eqemupassword', 250, NULL, 0, 0);


MiniLoginAccounts.ini
localhost eqemuusername eqemupassword(space)

db.ini
[Database]
host=localhost
user=mysqlusername
password=mysqlpassword
database=eq1
compression=off

loginserver.ini
# READ README.TXT

loginserver=localhost
loginport=5999
worldname=mynewplace
worldaddress=localhost
locked=false
account=eqemuusername
password=eqemupassword

[LoginConfig]

Bootzones.bat
REM:--------------Start-----------------------
@echo off

if NOT exist spells_us.txt goto NOSPELL

start zone . localhost 7995 localhost
start zone . localhost 7996 localhost
REM: start zone . YourIP 7997 localhost
REM: start zone . YourIP 7998 localhost
REM: start zone . YourIP 7999 localhost
exit
cls

(note) I REMed out 3 ports to save time and as I am the only player on my server it seemed like a good idea (note)

eqhost.txt
[Login Servers]
Host=localhost:5999

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am able to start minilogin with no errors
I am able to start world.exe with no errors
I am able to start Boot5zones.bat with no errors

I start up everquest with my new shortcut
"D:\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme

I get to the login screen and type in my eqemuusername and eqemypassword and get a message saying incorrect username or password.

going back to my minilogin, world.exe and Boot5zones.bat there are NO changes or error messages. Everything is exactly the same as before I started up everquest using the new shortcut.

As I am using the new interface I assume this is the reason I can not connect. From all my searching on the forums I see that all I need to do is find a eqmain.dll file from a patch BEFORE the new login interface came into being.

Is this correct?
All I need to get past this issue is the 1 file eqmain.dll?

Thanks in advance,

I am having the same Problem, when enter eqemu through "Shortcut to eqgame" patchme, the minute the screen goes black and it takes me to the Eula, right then it changes my Eqhost.txt back to EQlives host. and i cant figure out how to stop it from changing it. im also using the new interface.

Yes you are correct about the eqmain.dll. Nothing else is needed.
