Now how do I run my server?

Hey, I just set up a server with the walkthrough that was posted, just remembered to accomodate the steps with the new location of the peq files. However, how do I start it. I run start.bat and when it gets to eqlaunche.exe it turns into 0:Sleeping. What do I do to fix this? Also when I try to log in I get a cannot find server error, how do I fix this as well?

Also how do I create more than one account on the server?

BTW here's my config:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<server>

        <world>

                <shortname>setme</shortname>

                <longname>I Forgot To Edit My Config</longname>

You may want to fill these fields in.

Filled that in as well. Still can't connect to server. Where do I find my username/pass btw?

This is eqhost btw:

Code:

[LoginServer]

Host=127.0.0.1:5998

Try to fix things one step at a time rather than rushing about.

What is your sever called?

Is it in this list?

It's not on this list, it's for my own use

My advice would be to go through the eqemulator.net loginserver.

Because a) nothing else seems to actually work without massive effort and b) pretty much no-one offers support for any other methods.

I disagree, using the EQEmuLoginServer that you can compile within the projects works amazing. Source all four SQL files and your good to go.

It's easier to mange your worlds and such.

So any help with this? How do I add my server to eqemulator.net loginserver anyways?

You leave this in the config;

Code:

<!-- Loginserver information.  Defaults shown -->

                <loginserver>

                        <host>eqemulator.net</host>

                        <port>5998</port>

                        <account></account>

                        <password></password>

                </loginserver>

Which you appear to have done. Are you sure its not in the list?

This is in my config. BTW my server name is:

Code:

<world>

                <shortname>xie323</shortname>

                <longname>Private server</longname>

Right, so looking at mine, when you run your batch file you should end up with four shell windows open.

"world.exe"; which should have a status line about your DB.
"####: Sleeping"; which will be four numbers where i put #### and will be blank.
"ucs.exe"; which should have a status line about your DB.
"quaryserve.exe"; which should have a status line about your DB.

Is that what you get?

Yes, that is what I get. Also my server is on the server list of the site, but not on the server list ingame.

EDIT: No, fixed, it is ingame. Thanks for the help.

Yay! Happy adventuring!
