LAN Connect?
 

OK im kinda new at the build your own server idea so im trying a LAN only one to start with. So my question is, how do i connect to my server without internet connection? I'm in a place where i don't have access to the internet while i'm working on my server and want to see my mods as i make them.

Any help?

You will need to compile a login server (not sure if Akka's repack has a login server), and point your server to the local login server rather than the default eqemulator one.

Luckily, the login server hardly changes so you can compile the login server and use it with the repack. (I'd recommend using the repack where you can unless you're a developer).

Wiki page for compiling (ignore if the repack has a login server with it)
http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?Complet...Guide&frm=Main

Wiki page for setting up your config:-
http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?eqemu_config.xml&frm=Main


Wiki page for setting up the local login server:-

http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?Windows...Guide&frm=Main

Ok I have done all of that, now my EQ isn't connecting to my server. I got all 4 windows up on the server, is there something I'm missing, how does my EQ program find my server?

Have you changed your eqhost.txt file to point to 127.0.0.1?

Yep, with port 5998.

Of note when i get to the EQ login and put in my account name and password i get, (Error - A timeout occurred). I hope this helps you help me.

Are you using a Titanium client ?

Post your eqemuconfig file with the passwords redacted. Does the login server window show anything of note?

As a note just makeing sure, I got world.exe window, queryserv.exe window, ucs.exe window, and eqlaunch.exe window for my server.

you also need a loginserver.exe window ;)

Well the start.bat has loginserver.exe in it and i have the loginserver.exe and .pdb in my EQEmuServer folder. Every time i try to start the loginserver.exe it has 3 items on it and then closes, is that the problem?

You posted your emu_config.xml file contents..what's in your login.ini?

[database]
host = localhost
port = 3306
db = beq
user = root
password = REDACTED
subsystem = MySQL

[options]
unregistered_allowed = TRUE
reject_duplicate_servers = FALSE
trace = TRUE
world_trace = FALSE
dump_packets_in = FALSE
dump_packets_out = FALSE
listen_port = 5998
local_network = 192.168.1.

[security]
plugin = EQEmuAuthCrypto
mode = 5

[Titanium]
port = 5998
opcodes = login_opcodes.conf

[SoD]
port = 5999
opcodes = login_opcodes_sod.conf

[schema]
account_table = tblLoginServerAccounts
world_registration_table = tblWorldServerRegistration
world_admin_registration_table = tblServerAdminRegistration
world_server_type_table = tblServerListType

Yes i know that i have database set as beq, all instances of my database were changed to beq, would that make a difference.

So i ran the command program and tryed the loginserver.exe just like you say to try the world.exe if your having problems and this is what i got.

c:\EQ\EQEmuServer>loginserver.exe
[Debug] [03.18.15 - 21:00:23] Logging System Init.
[Debug] [03.18.15 - 21:00:23] Config System Init.
[Debug] [03.18.15 - 21:00:23] MySQL Database Init.
[Database] [03.18.15 - 21:00:24] Failed to connect to MySQL database. Error:

This is followed by a lot of vertical lines along the entire page.

I'm going to make a guess and say this is my problem and my question is what did i mess up?

So...

is your database called "peq" (like in your server config) or "beq" (like in your login server config)?

If changing them to match doesn't work, sometimes there are issues with using localhost - try 127.0.0.1 like in the server config file.
