eqEMU server GUI.

[Teppen]

A gui for server will actually hurt your server performance more than it will help you in the long run. When a server loads any gui it consumes a chunk out of your memory and slows system performance. On a windows server, you are already hurting your system performance by loading windows. On a linux server loading gnome or kde still hogs memory but not as much as windows hogs, however for optium performance on a linux server, if you have to have gui then xwindows is the way to go, if you dont need a gui then a text based distro is the way to go. Another thing to consider on any server os is processes, the less processes you have running the better performance you will get out of your server. I assume the poster of this thread is a windows user, and not to start an attack on windows users but why do you guys need a gui for everything? The emu works fine without a gui, if you want to hurt the performance of the server by kicking it in the balls then by all means create a gui.

Note: Im not going to reply to any replies or look at this thread again, just saying my opinion about how this will hurt the emu. have a nice day.

If he's talking about a web based enhancement gui for the built in http server, it wouldn't be that bad at all.. and would only cause a performance hit when the admin console was actually being used.

The idea itself is a good one.. but would most likely require major tweaking of the internal http code as well as the html/php/whatever pages loaded for the gui itself.

i was looking at lineage2 and WoW, server emulators, and thinking to myself christ, why can't eqemu be so point and click simple. but at every turn in this project i'm hitting walls

This is a problem with the version of ZLib that you are using. You may need to find a different install package for ZLib and reinstall it.

VS8 said i had to convert the "older" files, so they would work with it,
