Ok, the idea here is that I will try to setup a server using eqemu 7.0 one step at a time. That way, if there are any problems along the way, the experts like Cavedude can help out.
Ok, as it stands I have my shiny new chromatic Everquest Titanium box here and I have just finished installing it. (btw, did anyone else have the install process just freeze after clicking "Ok" when it asks for a new disk and have to keep starting over?)
According to the guide here:
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...owsServerGuide
The next step is to check things out with EQVerCheck. (3.1.1 is available to download at the bottom of the page linked to by the words "EQVerCheck" instead of "here") This is what I get:
Code:

EQVerCheck has identified this EQ Version, SEQB6367, to be compatible with the Titanium EQEmu server releases, and is available at the eqemulator.net:5998 loginserver.
Looks good so far right? The guide next goes over some steps to see if your client can connect to a public server that is already running. The directions are pretty straight forward with one tiny exception: after renaming your old eqhost.txt file to eqhost.legit.txt, you want to open your text editor and type in the lines shown
and name it eqhost.txt. Make sure you save after your done.
Now the guide goes through setting up Mysql and Perl and the Perl Modules. Is this the next step for 7.0? Are the commands listed there still ok for 7.0?
