Install Help 0.7.0

[tenge911]

I am very new to this emulator stuff, and am looking for some guidance. I have been lurking in the shadows for about three weeks now reading the posts and trying certain things. I am unable to get this emulator working, everytime I try something new, I get a little farther, or a little farther behind.

Also, I was not sure if this was the right place for this one. Or if the forum about connectivity problems was the correct place.


I have mostly only worked with the 7.0 system that is up. I have downloaded all the files and the instructions. Put them on a CD for safe keeping.

I initially tried this on my machine to do this locally, or at least a machine with a fresh install of Titanium. For me, it did not work.

I tried another machine, but formatted it first. Put on XP, SP2 and thats it.

So here is where I am at...

-I have XP, SP2 installed fresh. Reboot.
- I have followed this page http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...indowsServer70 and this is my step by step account
-I have installed mysql as per the 7.0 instruction page, rebooted
-I have installed mysqlcc as per the 7.0 instruction page, rebooted
-I have installed Perl, then opened ppm, and installed the 3 modules, as per the 7.0 instruction page
-I have installed cavedudes server pack, the 7.0 instruction page says 3.25, but what i was able to download was EQEmuServerPack-3.52
-While installing that, I chose 7.0 Server Files, Source Code, Mini Login, Quests, Cavedudes Database, Third Party Tools, Documentation, Minilogin Client
-I have edited the eqemu_config.xml file to show the Minimal/Recommened Configuration as per this page . . .
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...rConfiguration
-I then opened up a runbox and typed --> C:\mysql\bin\mysql -u root eq and hit enter
-I then typed in the now open black mysql window --> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eq.* TO eq@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'eq' WITH GRANT OPTION and then hit enter
-I then created an account called player with as pass of eq and gave my ip address that i have on the lan, as well as the 250 code.
-I copied the spells_us and spells_en files as directed, however, they were already there.
-I have extracted the Map files to here . . C:\EQEMU\maps ( there are 262 files in here )
-I copied the two dlls as requested to the system32 folder on the server
-I then double click the Run EQEMU shortcut on my desktop.
-3 Black Dos boxes open up;
--c:\EQEmuWorld.exe opens and displays three lines

--- {Status} Using database eq at localhost:3306
--- {Status} EMuShareMem loaded
--- {Status} Loading Items from database: count = 54535

--0: sleeping
---loading server config
---starting main loop . . .
---and then it basically starts 5 dynamic zones at 20000 ms intervals

--0 Server(s), 0 Client(s) Connected
---{Status} loading opcodes
---server mode: MiniLogin
---Login server listening on port:5999


At that point, I edit the eqhosts.txt file on my titanium install. I point it to the adress of the sever machine. I can login with mini/mini or with player/eq no problem. But there are no servers availible for me to chose from.


I originally wanted to do this through a router and have it online as I have hosted WoW and think this is a much better game. I figured the best way to start learning this is Lan based Minilogin. So this is where I am starting to prove this works.

I appreciate any help that can be provided.

Also, it should be noted that when I connect with a client, in the 0 Servers, 0 Clients Connected box, I can see a connction sayiing ...
New Client from ip:10.1.35.32 port : 2312

Might want to post your config files. :p

If I understood correclty you are using a minilogin server...
You have to specify 127.0.0.1 as minilogin_ip in your client.
And of course run the client on the same computer as the server...

I don't know if it's clear for you

This is an example of someone who did a lot of work on there own and wont be flaimed, I protect these people. Its the people who come here and didnt read a thing that get flaimed.

"do I need Titanium?"
"can I host a server?"
"ok I have the EQ2 client now what?"

those people need to RTFM before posting, and nothing you say will change that.

As stated above it looks like an issue with the IP you set, post your config files and XXX out any passwords.

Hey, I too am having the same problem as the original poster, with the server select screen not showing up anything once the server is up and running.

It loads all 5 starter zones, shows IP connection in the server/client dos box, but the server select in-game is empty (none).

Using the exact same items as the original poster, here are my config files:

eqhost.txt

[LoginServer]
Host=127.0.0.1:5999

loginserver.ini

###Your current configuration is as follows:

loginserver.ini:
[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginport=5999
worldname=EQEmu
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=
[ChatChannelServer]

worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Minilogin
ServerPort=5999

eqemu_config.xml

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
        <world>
                <shortname>EQEmu</shortname>
                <longname>EQEmulator</longname>
                
                <!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
                <key>some long random string</key>
        </world>
</server>

Any help would be appreciated. This is the last hurdle of getting the entire system running.
Thanks ahead of time.

Did you guys forward the right ports for the server by any chance?
