Can I create a server using Windows 98?
I have a top of the line system with 512 SD Ram etc etc very good system but am running Windows 98. I was told by a friend if I bring am server up that it will have to be actuvated in DOS mode.
I am VERY new to this and have yet to actually do a server, I had one on NWN but thats totally different.
Kinda looking for help. My son did the steps on his CPU and has windopws 98. He says by all rights it should be up but when he logs on he cant find it.
Kinda needs some help but those that add advise plse remember I need it explained simply hehe thks/

Read the readme on the main page. Also, win98 CAN run a server, I have win98 and ran a few test servers. The readme tells you step by step how to run a server, very easy.

Did your son follow the tutorial exactly? If so, you should be able to see the server. If you post your files, it's easier to receive help because others can look at it and point out where the problem lies. You'll need to post the following:
LoginServer.ini
eqhost.txt
boot5zones.bat
miniloginaccounts.ini (if you plan on hosting a local server)
db.ini
If you're getting errors, post the errors as well.

My son is using WIN 98 with the newest version of mysql. will the newest version affect him firing it up with 98 or should he use an older version.
Hes picking up an error Driver 3.21 is not found
ALso world.dat pulls up but doesnt stay up, it shuts down right after it finishes loading.

Please post the files I listed. They can be found in the same directory as your eqgame.exe (where you installed EQEmu).

If you are using v4.3 of the emu, try 4.4dr1, I had the same problem with 4.3, the world would boot up and then just shut down right away. Get 4.4dr1 right here: galileo.spaceports.com/~eqspace/4.4dr1.zip , copy/paste the link into the browser.
If that don't work and you followed the readme step by step, then come back here.

miniloginaccounts should be in the same place as the other files (where your eqgame.exe file is). Are you trying to make a local server? Or a public one?

If you're talking about the ones Hardy mentioned, the answer is yes. It's going to ask you if you want to replace or overwrite files. Answer yes to all.

the world, boot5zones, etc.. should be in eqemu folder, there are like 2 or 3 other folders for editor and stuff, they can just stay in the folders. If it didn't not overwrite anything, it probably made another folder. Just cut/paste it out and back into the eqemu folder to overwrite the older files.
*edit* I am not sure what folders there should be, I don't have eqemu on this machine right now.
