Trying to setup a RoF testing server

[prickle]

Are you guys working with an "unmodified" RoF client from Steam? Or did you have to add files to make it work?

I ask because I have a eqemu server setup on my LAN, and I can get to the Char Select screen with my RoF client, but when I try to zone in with a toon, I get "string not found (xxxx)" (where xxxx is a number).

However, I'm able to log in with my UF client with no problems.

It looks like I have everything. The patch files, the opcodes, the lot. The "string not found" error makes me think I'm missing a string file or something from the client, but it doesn't appear to be the eqstr_en.txt, eqstr_us.txt or eqtext.txt files...

clean F2P/RoF download from steam.

create database, build server, copy files, and RoF will load.
If it does not you missed something.

there are no special opcodes needed.

Have you tried logging into one of the public servers that have RoF enabled? There are a few including PEQ, Storm Haven, and some testing servers that I know of so far. If your client works on those servers, then the issue is with your server. If your client doesn't work on those servers or yours, then there is most likely a problem with your client. Either you modified something (UI or other custom files maybe), or you patched your client. It is possible that SOE updated their download, but I kinda doubt it. I know their latest Live patch would not allow you to even make it as far as Character Select.
