Setting up pre5/11 Velious Beta1 + 6.1DR1 + Minilogin(windows)

[Grim]

Thanks Iwantavr4, my issue is when i type username and password in EQ (after the patchme thing) it just pauses for a minute then says, make sure you are online, can't connect to server. I can't get past that when using minilogin. If i use eqemu login i can get to others servers and such, and even see mine if i start world.exe and all, Course i can't play on mine i get 1017 so i tried getting a dns $15.00 and all kinds of other combos

Not going to give up. I have had this working, and im awesome at database work.. i populated like 12 zones with correct mob named and itemized drops. I really liked doing that and am trying to get this working so i can do it again lol. May have to wait for eqemu to catch live. Would probably be best.

sorry bout that i see it now thanks.... one last question im not clear on. on step 14 I dont put the bracket around username and password right

No brackets around the user/password.

Course i can't play on mine i get 1017 so i tried getting a dns $15.00 and all kinds of other combos

If youre trying to set this up with a network i cant help you... I didnt set mine up that way. I set it up to fly solo on my own PC. 127.0.0.1 is local loopback for computers.

dropping server and redoing it fixed the database prob
in world.exe it does this
[status] loading ./addon.ini'
couldn't open './addon.ini'.
[status] loading EQ time of day..
Failed to open log file: logs/emu_error_world_3044.log
[error] could not load EQTime file ./eqtime.cfg
[error] Unable to load ./egtime.cfg
and in all boot5zones it does this
[quest] loading perl commands...
[quest] Warning - commands.pl: perl runtime error: open 'commands.pl' No such file or directory at (eval 4) line 1.

other then that everything else loads fine

Okay, i was wondering if some files would be missing. Now that you mention it, there are a few other files.

The commands.pl is a file i havent been able to find and the folks at PEQ said its not neccisary. So no worries on that one. Ill update the guide in a couple hours, but for now, CHOW!

Edit: Cant get those extra files. For some reason i cant upload anything here. Probably has to do with the firewall. See post below, updated main guide also to reflect changes.

the file says the archive is either in unknown format or damaged

Oh, also! I feel i should mention i tried this on my laptop, which is running windows XP with service pack 2. You need to make sure your XP Firewall is set to prompt you when you have programs trying to run servers, open ports, or connect to stuff... Otherwise this wont work. I think i had to set 3 or 4 different programs when they popped up to 'unblock'. If you are running winXP this may be why some of you arent seeing your servers. Because XP Firewall is blocking the server programs from broadcasting or recieving information!
