Windows Server Repack (EQEmu Akka's PEQ Repack)

**Akkadius** · #1 09-27-2014, 03:55 AM

Day after day, I see so many threads of people having issues with their servers and trying to get one started or struggling to get a solid base together.

With all of my 7 years of expertise I have compiled a very precise, simple solution to getting a base PEQ server up and running and it takes as little as 2-5 minutes to install and get off the ground. It took a lot of time to get this repack right but here it is for all to use.

Enjoy - Please post if you have used this and share how easy it was for you.

Hey long time since we last talked!

Thanks for this tool!

Questions since I've been out for a while -

What Everquest version is this for (UF, SOF, SOD)?
What is the setting for eqhost.txt?

looking fwd to getting this going!
running t_start_server.bat, shows several dos windows open,but no text is seen in them - is that normal?

Thanks,
GeorgeS

Hey GeorgeS! Awesome to see you around!

This server will run Titanium/SoF/SoD/UF/RoF but UF is the most stable/recommended.

RoF is mostly supported.

The console doesn't show anything because that is how I setup the build options so that there isn't anything being written to logs, this burns up I/O. So yes this is perfectly normal.

The only thing that currently writes to logs is crash events, given that this build is approved and known working, you shouldn't need to debug much. You can always replace the binaries with others if you dare to try something that isn't pre-approved.

We're starting to work towards an approved 'stable' binary structure so that people can upgrade with as few issues as possible.

Amazing! My server finally up and running!

I created my character, and zoned in, but I'm floating in blue space in Mines of Gloomingdeep.

Is this because I don't have a clean client or is there a bug here?

Thanks again !!!

Hrmm you shouldn't be floating in blue space, what client are you using?

Did you try another character?

Tirkaz · #7 09-27-2014, 08:31 PM

Titanium client here.

I tried another character and the same thing.

I noticed when I logged onto another PEQ Repack server (I saw two on the server select screen, I didn't know if I was logging into mine or not) I had the same issue.

Weird.

Weird.

I've done all of my testing on UF/RoF and I've had no issues like that so I would try getting a hold of a more recent client.

Got the UF client, created a new toon, and it was in the correct spot.

Must have been a Titanium bug

Thanks again for this!

**GeorgeS** · #10 09-27-2014, 11:16 PM

Thanks again Akkadius

It works perfectly. (just needed correct Host=login.eqemulator.net:599

Hello, has anyone had any trouble installing the package? I'm getting this error below when trying to install:

"Error 1359. An internal error occurred"

I'm running win7 pro 64bit.

Thanks.

Have you made sure that you don't already have some components already installed such as MySQL or another version of Perl? Anything that could cause such conflicts?

I just wanted to say thank you for doing this. I was having a nightmare with character tables not showing up and finally got to the point where I fixed it but then other character tables weren't there and I had finally given up.

This made my life so much easier. I really appreciate your hard work in putting this together.

Just and fyi, it said I was missing the perl files, so I downloaded the most recent and installed it. This fixed the problem and server is running perfectly!

Again, thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you mean missing Perl files? It should have already had the latest.
