                    "low" : "7000"
               }
          }
     }
}

Database info is correct as it is default to what is installed when it auto sets up MariaDB.

So, there is what I get after install, as said previously, all seems to work fine after editing the two files except disconnect after character enter world is selected.

Interesting update.... in client dbg.txt file, I saw this when crash happens, once again world/zone connect issue...

Code:

[Mon Feb 05 18:28:10 2018]00187:YOU HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED.

that was from ROF2 client, from Titanium, this is bad,

2018-02-05 17:38:26 Zone addr [24.176.84.30:22555] received...

that zone address is wrong, where is it coming from???

That is charter... which would point to first reply port forwarding... but....

even with port forwarding set in router, there is no changes. Same issue, which shouldn't make a difference (set or not)since my ip addresses are set up through router for client and server computer. Have run it this way before with no problems, and the connection is fine except when zoning in from char select, which is back to Uleats response of world and zone communicating. :/

Edit Note: on setting port forwarding in router, which shouldn't be necessary, client does not even reach character selection screen.... hangs and crashes

Trying to help but since my set up is old school, I am not sure if there is something wrong in those files or not.

Let me ask another question.

When you start your server, You should see 2 dos command windows.
One is World.exe
The other is Zone.exe nut it may not be titled that as it changes names eveytime some one zones.

Are you getting both command windows?

Quote:

2018-02-05 17:38:26 Zone addr [24.176.84.30:22555] received...

This is the problem according to what I see.

In my set up the address would be 127.0.0.1:22555

this is your zones the port # :22555 will change with every zone but for some reason it is trying to use the 24.176.84.30 address

Wish I knew more but thats the problem, need someone more familiar with the new set up to tell you how to fix it. sorry

ElvenWitchQueen · #4 02-06-2018, 05:38 PM

That's what I would think too, but there is no setting for 'zone' in the config file except the ports setting. Which makes me wonder, is there some missing code that should be added? But there was never a setting in the xml version for zone ip address either I may try temporarily removing the eqemu_config.json file and replace with old xml file, see what happens, but not sure this setup meant to use the xml version. Kind of stumped at this point, may try the old compile version again, but seems like it is just one glitch somewhere keeping it from loading.
