Chat and Mail problems Q&A

[Irreverent]

Oh and to mention, I did put all of the rule_values in and set to use to true for mail server.

[Irreverent]

Ok, had to edit the mail opcodes...they were all run together, make them on their own lines...


But, now I'm getting Unhandled mail opcode
unable to convernt eq opcode 0x0002 to an application opcode

[Derision]

The mail_opcodes.conf may look like it's all run together on one line in notepad, but that is just because it has UNIX line endings, but it will still work fine. You may have broken something while editing in the line endings. It should look like this:

#Mail and Chat Channel opcodes
OP_MailLogin=0x01
OP_Mail=0x02
OP_ChannelMessage=0x03
OP_ChannelAnnounceJoin=0x04
OP_ChannelAnnounceLeave=0x05
OP_MailSendHeaders=0x00
OP_MailHeaderCount=0x0d
OP_MailHeader=0x0e
OP_MailSendBody=0x0f
OP_MailDeliveryStatus=0x12
OP_MailboxChange=0x14
OP_MailNew=0x10

As for the mail/chat key not matching, post the sections of your eqemu_config.xml with the <address>, <localaddress>, <chatserver> and <mailserver> blocks.

Sounds like you may have the same problem as this post:

Tried adding my internal IP to the localhost and it doesn't seem to resolve anything...seem to keep getting the opcode unhandled

		<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to.  (read: You don't) -->
		
		<!-- <address>some.server.com</address> -->
		
		<!-- <localaddress>192.168.0.5</localaddress> -->

		


	<!-- Chatserver (channels) information.  Defaults shown -->
	
	<chatserver>
		
		<host>68.57.224.73</host>
		
		<port>10234</port>
	
	</chatserver>

	

	<!-- Mailserver (in-game mail) information.  Defaults shown -->
	
	<mailserver>
		
		<host>68.57.224.73</host>
		
		<port>7779</port>
	
	</mailserver>

For the opcode problem, re-extract them from the rar/zip they came in, or create a new copy with what I posted above.

Although the guide says not to set the address and localaddress values in eqemu_config.xml, I think you might have to in this case.

Get a dyndns name, e.g. yourserver.dyndns.com, then make your config:

		<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to.  (read: You don't) -->
		
		<address>yourserver.dyndns.com</address>
		
		<localaddress>Your internal IP address</localaddress>

		


	<!-- Chatserver (channels) information.  Defaults shown -->
	
	<chatserver>
		<host>yourserver.dyndns.com</host>
		<port>10234</port>
	</chatserver>

	<!-- Mailserver (in-game mail) information.  Defaults shown -->
	
	<mailserver>
		<host>yourserver.dyndns.com</host>
		<port>7779</port>
	</mailserver>

And add a line with your internal IP address and yourserver.dyndns.com to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc hosts on your internal clients.

I haven't run a public server for years, so any ServerOPs who have mail/chat working on a public server feel free to correct me.

You also need to forward those two ports on your firewall for external clients to connect to mail/chat.

[John Adams]

Derision, do those ports have to be those exact numbers? Or can they be in a range that is already pointing to the eqemu server?

Here's mine, for instance - and I am getting the same results as Irreverent:

.
.
.
		<address>my.dyndns.url</address>
		<localaddress>192.168.1.32</localaddress>
.
.
.
	<!-- Chatserver (channels) information.  Defaults shown -->
	<chatserver>
		<host>my.dyndns.url</host>
		<port>7099</port>
	</chatserver>

	<!-- Mailserver (in-game mail) information.  Defaults shown -->
	<mailserver>
		<host>192.168.1.32</host>
		<port>7100</port>
	</mailserver>
	<zones>
		<defaultstatus>0</defaultstatus>

		<!-- Sets port range for world to use to auto configure zones -->
		<ports low="7000" high="7090"/>
	</zones>

So my zones will only use 7000 - 7090, the chat server will use 7099 and the mail server will use 7100 - and on the router, 7000 - 7100 are fowarded to 192.168.1.32 (the eqemu server)

Truth is, I got an ancient router and I am out of fwds so I was trying to pile them all up. Maybe this won't work?

[John Adams]

Forgot the content of the Chat window... mine too ends abruptly, and does not look like the example.

[Debug] [RULES__CHANGE] Set rule Mail:EnableMailSystem to value true
[Debug] [CHANNELS__INIT] Client (UDP) Chat listener started on port 7099.
[Debug] [CHANNELS__INIT] Loading chat channels from the database.
[Debug] [CHANNELS__ERROR] Chat Key for tess.Orunnicle does not match, closing co
nnection.

Update: Oop, it appears the Mail portion is fine, just chat that's giving me problems.
