No server listed on server select (Local Host)
 

Hello,

I was following one of the guides here on this site to try to setup my own personal server to play around on. I was able to get everything working (or so it seemed). I did a fresh install of Titanium, I am using PEQ DB, and I am using the MiniLogin as the login service for the game.

I fire up the MiniLogin, then I run the Start.bat batch file and everything looks good from what I can tell. When I launch the game, I am able to put in the account name and password (which I did notice I can enter any password and it works apperently). Once I get to the server select screen however there are no servers listed. Below are copies of the config files code.

EQ Host Code
Eqemu_config
LoginServer
I did some research here on the forums and I did see that if you are using titanium that you should be using port 5998 instead of 5999. The problem that I run into if I change all of the ports to 5998 is that when I launch EQ, I cant get past the login screen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I thought I would add in what each of my output screens look like.

C:\EQEMU\World.exe
0: sleeping
1 Server(s), 0 Client(s) Connected
The "New Client" posts at the bottom are me logging into the game trying to see if the server select screen will refresh and show the server.

if, for whatever reason, you want to use your own login server, i would highly recommend the EQEmuLoginServer instead of minilogin. using the public login server is easiest, however. if you want to restrict who can login, you can always give those accounts elevated status and keep your world locked via the config file.

have you tried using 192.168.1.114 instead of localhost?

I have changed all of the 127.0.0.1 to 192.168.1.114 I am still having the same issue. Is this a problem with the miniogin or is it an issue with my server config?

Here is what my config files look like now.

eqemu_config
LoginServer.ini
EQHost

Oh and the only reason I was using minilogin was because was what the guide I was using said to use. I am not opposed to using another login server if you can provide an easy guide on how to set it up. I have seen several times that using the public login server is easiest but I am trying to get an offline server setup to play on my laptop when I am away from home and have no internet connection.

keep it simple and sweet c0ncrete

kolamer using minilogin.exe
edit loginserver.ini change
loginport=5998
ServerPort=5998

edit eqemu_config.xml put the username and password of mysql
<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<port>5998</port>
<account>xxxxxxxxxx</account>
<password>xxxxxxxxx</password>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>xxxxxxxxxxx</key> check mysql database under variables at the bottom of the list
ZSPassword xxxxxxxxxxxx put that as your key.

edit opcodes.conf
don't forget to match EQHost with the server ip address
xxx.x.x.x:5998

you would be better off changing back the ip to 127.0.0.1
after you made the changes you should be able to see the server now in offline mode using minilogin.exe

simple? it'd be much easier to use the public login server.

all of what you need to run EQEmuLoginServer is in <source_dir>\EQEmuLoginServer\login_util

just copy the ini and conf files to your main server directory and edit and source in EQEmuLoginServerInstall.sql.

you'll have to have a build of the executable, of course. but if you have those files, you already have the source to compile it.

you can set up your server to run off both the public and your private login server simultaneously as well.

I changed all of the ports to 5998 and changed the IP's back to 127.0.0.1

When I do this, I can no longer get past the login screen. It says that everquest cannot connect to the server.

that's because he usually gives incredibly horrible advice.

did you change your database under variables to minilogin?
i'm sorry kolamer this is for local only
opcode.conf
eqemu_config.xml
Loginsever.ini
EQHost
config.ini
db.ini

Thanks for the list of corrections. I will have to let you know in a few days if I am able to get it up and running with what those corrections. I say in a few days because I am currently now sitting in the labor and delivery room with my wife waiting on our first child (a boy) to be born!

congratulations!

that's the second time i've said that today for the same reason on these very forums...

Come on man, are you for real? Like, is this real life?

It's a damn wonder that EQEMU works at all, seeing that you've successfully claimed every single opcode was wrong -- mind you, that's considering the hundreds of posts where you suggest people change them.
