What did eqemu use before Titanium????

NightrainSrt4 · #1 10-06-2006, 04:36 PM

It says that eqemu supports titanium. but what did it use before titanium came out??????? what version of eqemu did that change to titanium? people before have said that titanium is the only one ever supported but if it is "now supported" than what really was before it, and what versions was that?

We used to have to patch to live. But that meant the emulator had to keep up with all the changes being made with almost every new patch. Also some one who happened to find the emulator in between patches could not play because there was no legal way to backpatch the client. Wich meant there werent very many players willing to wait.
So we were basicly slaves to Sony. Now we are not.

FYI..There was no client before titanium that was ever compatible with a CD out of the box. So you cant just find an old version of emulator and think you are going to play an old CD to see what it was like in the old days.

ya u got me lol, trying to find a way around my eq platinum version lol. but cant come out and just say that because everyone else i saw that asks something similar gets flamed or really huge letters pointing to Titanium Now Supported lol. Ok well thank you.

So there is no possiblel way of getting this to work? I saw somewhere a rumor of someone mentioning that they heard it might work lol. i dont care if its buggy, just want to kno if there is anyway i can get the single player server up and running enough to get into the game???

Just trying to find a use for the games i used to have legit accounts with...they sit on my shelf aquiring dust. I got wow up and running single player and that was cool. so i figured id look for everquest. was directed to a download site, but that site didnt say what version u needed so i went looking around and it said titanium...went looking for the game only to find out that i have platinum...damnit. lol. you think i should try getting it to work lol and see if i might. or is there no reason for technological issues????

do you guys think your gonna make two versions, this one and maybe one that supports platinum???What is different about how the programming works...

does the titanium version have an actual number (like patch number but what it is right out of the box...like wow, you can patch up to live but the version i had out of the box was 1.5.1 or something...) just curious. dont want anylinks just asking for what the numbered version is if any.

is everquest that good playing alone???is it worth going and spending another 20 just so i can play alone. I just wanted to put a use to an unused game so im debating on whether buying another game is really justified, seeing how i dont know how often i would actually play it.

if ur a gm can u give urself buffs and sow and stuff. cuz it would be annoying to be a class that doesnt have those and never have the chance to get them because theres no one else around. although i guess that means you would have to really role play your role...hmm might make the game better

No other version is being worked on were freezing on Titanium.

NO there is no ptch version because SOE didnt do patching the same way Blizzard did.

Buying Titanium is the only way to be able to play.

$20 isnt much to spend if you liked Clasic EQ.

GM's can do whatever they want, you controle everything.

ya so im prob gonna get the titanium version and try it. i dl'd the files to make teh server so that way ill have them if i want to play it. who knows down the line i may want to play it and maybe they'l drop the servers so you cant (no support) and this way ill be able to play. hmmm

should i even try running it on the platinum version. what errors do you think i will get. just wondering if anyone has actually tried it. i know ur now designed for titanium, but has anyone tried to get it working on platinum. what in the programming will make it not work. is it the way the platinum sends packets or is it something else. there should be a way to get it to work, just whether or not its worth doing.

ill prob just end up going to best buy and picking it up anyway...

good job guys for getting an emulator working. thanks for all the effort

Platinum and titanium are 100% diferent.

Your basicaly asking to use an Atari cartrige in a X-Box 360, it just wont work.

Reason for heavy flammage about asking for back patches has to do with the fact if we're distributing files - they can slap the whole project with a cease and desist order and *poof* no more EQEmu. This way - all that's offered is the custom coding - which Sony does not own so can't block.. what you do with it is your choice.. therefor - Sony can not slap cease and desist order - therefor EQEmu continues to exist

Coasters?

Frisbies?

Mirror to check your hair in?

Wall decorations?

See what happens when you add fire to them?

ya lol. so i got the game but i cant seem to get this stupid server up and running. i got my wow server up with little issues but i downloaded the things from the page that tells the downloads you need but i got stuck and am really pissed off. first i dont have db.ini in my eqemu folder. searched everywhere for it. all the contents from the rar that are supposed to be there are there, but cant find the stupid db.ini. i even searched the whole folder with windows looking for *.ini and came up with log or something. but not that. my loginserver.ini has extra things taht arent in the picture (i.e. login server 2, and login port 2. not sure waht to do about that).

INSERT INTO variables (varname, value, information) VALUES ('LoginType', 'Minilogin', 'Set this to Minilogin to login using a minilogin server

');
alter table account add minilogin_ip varchar(32) not null;

that tells me there isnt a mysql.variable.something and give me an error. i forget the stupid number. its not the 1017 tho, it was like 1134 or something like that.

at the end it says something about the shortcut that you added patchme too. didnt see that in the steps (havent actually gotten that far because of the stupid crap thats goin wrong before that point)...

on top of all of that now i cant delete that stupid crap (mysql) from my computer so i can just try again from fricken scratch. is there a repack or something where this crap is mostly done for you???? just wondering.

is there a better (more comprehensive) guide for setting this thing up. this doesnt seem complete or inline with the crap that is downloaded with it, seeing how im missing files that are supposed to be there.

i have a decent understanding of all this crap. got other ones working before. but i just cant get this crap workign and itl piss me off until i can. i feel like im being defeated by some stupid database program shit...aaaahhhhhhh

any help please...or a better guide, more step by step. thanks

STUPID WIKI!!!

ya i kno, sorry just got a little frustrated last night. trying to get the thing up and running. my girlfriend wanted to play the game and was getting all excited and im trying to get it working only to find that i cant find that file. quite frustrating, not only cuz its not the most basic thing to do, but then you have pressure from someone who just wants something and doesnt realize what it takes to make it work, and u just want to please them.

ya i know there are several guides, im just not sure which one is the most comprehensive and which ones to use. they use different versions of the same thing, so im not sure which is the best to go with or the most comprehensive. im gonna try again this afternoon so if you guys could point me to which individual guide worked (or worked best) for you that would be great, thanks.

NightrainSrt4 · #15 10-10-2006, 01:20 AM

ok so i was looking around and i think i found what i needed lol. i was trying to use an old version of all the db's and guide. didnt think about the 0.7.0 thing. so when i get home ill try to get it up and running. i think i should be able to handle it now (i was getting caught up on things that version didnt have...cuz the new ones dont have the login.ini or whatever it is so no wonder why it wasnt there). next time i will look and check compatablility issues with everything im using. i just assumed it would work cuz thats the first main guide i had found. but with some digging at the lower part of one of the pages i found one for what i needed i believe. so ill try it when i get home after my classes. woot! get to look at computer parts later lol (for A+ cert...my only class left today)...well ill keep you guys informed. thanks for the look it up approach, i needed that. its been a while (my older cousin used to do that all the time when i was a kid, tell me to go look it up any time i had an issue or wanted to know something...gotta say it helped alot so far in life. if only i could remember to use it more often instead of just asking how and why when i get frustrated. so sorry guys, and thanks for knocking me back)

i do have one more question tho, been looking online all over the place but cant find a definite answer...is there a working eq2 emu out yet? googling comes up with a lot of crap, mostly eq1 stuff...any ideas?
