Setting up server for Offline play

[Ikeren]

Hey guys, it's me again!

I set up my server successfully following that excellent guide and even was able to log in and run around a few zones (while connected to the internet) with mild success.

I, however, am having a lot of trouble figuring out how to set my server up so I can play while not connected to the internet.

Lerxst suggested that this thread would help me change my server to work for offline play, in particular the "Gather EQEmuLoginServer files", "Setup PEQLoginDB DB and Logins", and "Finalize Connection Settings" sections.

Right on the first section I started having problems:

Gather EQEmuLoginServer files (.ini, .conf, .dll) from EQEmu Build
• Go to the folder where you downloaded the server sources (C:\EQEmuSVNFiles\EQEmu) and navigate to:
o trunk > EQEmuServer > EQEmuLoginServer > login_util.
 Then copy: eqemulogin.ini and login_opcodes.conf to your server folder (C:\EQEmu).
• Next, navigate to:
• trunk > EQEmuServer > EQEmuLoginServer > login_util > ms >debug
• Then copy: EQEmuAuthCrypto.dll to your server folder (C:\EQEmu)

1) The path EQEmuSever>EQEmuLoginServer>Login_utils doesn't exist. I have a similar C:\EQ\Source\loginserver\login_util, which has the files:
login.ini (is this = to eqemulogin.ini?) and login_opcodes.conf and login_opcodes_sod.conf. I'm hoping these are the right ones.

2) I also don't have a C:\EQEmu folder. Is this the same as the C:\EQ\EQEmuServer folder ?

3) My login_util folder does not have ms or debug folders. A search on my computer doesn't reveal an EQEmuAuthCrypto.dll file.


I'm wondering if Kavren's 2010 guide is the most up to date guide for setting up an offline login system, and if so, if we can help me through this, I'm willing to update and document steps such that it's compatible and straight forward and able to be added to the 2013 server set up guide --- and thanks again for all the help.
