Help with 6.0-DR2 setup. No server on server select.

Here's my files first so we can get that out of the way, then i'll ask a simple question that hopefully you guys can answer...My first server, so please dont bash! :)

EQHOST.TXT

Code:

[LoginServer]

Host=eqemulator.net:5998

DB.INI

Code:

 # READ README.TXT!

[Database]

host=localhost

user=******

password=****

database=eq



### --- This file tells world.exe what computer mySQL is on. Host should

### --- be left "localhost" unless mysql is on a differant computer than world.exe

LOGINSERVER.INI

Code:

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.

### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.

### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

# READ README.TXT

[LoginServer]

loginserver=eqemulator.net

loginport=5994

worldname=JustTestingThanks

worldaddress=70.240.135.110

locked=false

account=

password=



[WorldServer]

Defaultstatus=0

Unavailzone=

[ChatChannelServer]

worldshortname=

chataddress=

chatport=

And finally,

Boot5Zones.BAT

Code:

REM: ****Read this first!!!****

REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "YourIP" when you are connecting

REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.

REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say 127.0.0.1

REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1

REM:--------------Start-----------------------

@echo off

if NOT exist spells_us.txt goto NOSPELL

start zoneperl . 70.240.135.110 7995 70.240.135.110

start zoneperl . 70.240.135.110 7996 70.240.135.110

start zoneperl . 70.240.135.110 7999 70.240.135.110

exit

cls

:NOSPELL

echo You did not copy the spells_us.txt from your everquest directory to this one.  Please do so or zones will crash on startup.

PAUSE

REM:---------------END------------------------

That's basically all...

If you see an issue, let me know...I'll try it.

Everything connects fine to eqemu, but again I dont see my server called "JustTestingThanks Server" on there...any help would be appreciated.

Your loginserver.ini has the login port to 5994 which is different than your eqhost.txt.
I am not sure which login server 6.0dr2 uses, however you need to have both fields the same. I am assuming it uses 5994.

Your boot5zones might be incorrect, if your internal ip address is different that your internet ip address.

GL

EQHOST.TXT

Code:
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5994

This is the server for 6.0 Dr2 all 6.0 servers run on 5994. 6.1 runs on 5998.

Getting 1017 error, that's incorrect version right? How do I know how far to patch up to?....

EDIT: I just loaded Kunark CD and thats it, ran patcher to download Kunark files and nothing else....So I ask again, how do I figure out how far to patch up to to get the correct version?

But no matter how many expansions you DL you will still have a live compatible version wich is a 0.6.2DR1 emu version of client.

So if you want a client to play on a 6.0 server you would have had to copy your eq folder back when 6.0 was live compatible with emu.

So unless you are doing something Im totally unfamiliar with then you have to wait for a compiled 6.2 server version to become available to create a server compatible with your client.

Oh, so even uninstalling EverQuest totally and installing from the Kunark CD won't do it? Because if I patch it screws it up? No matter how much I patch?

Ok, so I guess i'll have to patch up to live and just play on another server until 6.2 is compiled for server creation.

Thanks...I guess I was misunderstanding everything about creating a server =/

So the first ever version of emu was based on the live patched version at the time. So you have to patch to live no matter what.
But you are in luck for now. PEQ is live compatible for testing so you can play there for awhile.(5998) There may be a time when you want to patch again if the emu version goes beyond 6.2. Then you want to copy/paste your eq folder before patching to live again. That way you will have this version and a new live compatible version. Dont ever patch to live of your emu compatible version until you copy/paste it first.
