Converting from minilogin to public login

[Joshjje]

OK finally got something to work. Im using the minilogin and can connect to my own server.

I was wondering what would be the steps i would have to take (IE what files to change, commands to execute, etc.) to use the public login and allow other players to connect to my server? I dont think any of my info is required, but if so just ask.

Read the guides bro, ton of info on what to change is on the board as well as the guides section from the main website.

Pretty easy to do and very easy to find out how.

[Joshjje]

Well the main thing is there are so many guides, and so many posts many of which are conflicting.

I think i know what to change as far as the ini files go, but is that all i have to do? What about that eqemu/eqemu account in the DB, etc...

Very simple. Just change Loginserver.ini to point to the public login servers ratehr than your minilogin.

[Joshjje]

Yeah changed everything...get 1017 error :( Works fine using minilogin...

Are you behind a router or firewall of some kind?

[Joshjje]

Woot finally figured it out. And yes im behind a router.

joshjje.no-ip.org resolves to my external ip

@echo off

if NOT exist spells_en.txt goto NOSPELL

start zone . joshjje.no-ip.org 7995 192.168.2.34
start zone . joshjje.no-ip.org 7996 192.168.2.34

start zone . joshjje.no-ip.org 7999 192.168.2.34
exit
cls

:NOSPELL
echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.
PAUSE



[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginport=5997
worldname=Joshjje-Test
worldaddress=joshjje.no-ip.org
locked=false

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=

Also had to change my hosts file in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc to:

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.2.34 joshjje.no-ip.org


Now, to see if others can join, and to populate this poor existence :\
