Now the thing is this... I can get the server up and running but I can't connect to it with my client. I get kicked to desktop everytime. I have NOT patched the June 22nd patch yet. I am still running the June 16th patch as far as I know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My main goal is to get it where I can run it on a computer by itself with no internet connection. I want the server and client to be on the same computer. If anyone can assist on this, please let me know.

[x-scythe]

i may be wrong...but how do you intend to connect to the eqemu login servers without an internet connection?

also where exactly are you crashing at?

[Jezebell]

Sounds like he wants to use mini-login.

[x-scythe]

ya, isnt minilogin broken tho?

[Maldian]

I want to set up my own personal server where I login to it only and not have it on the internet eventually. Hell at this rate, i can't even log on to it myself when it is online. I had some other people log into it though.... weird.

[animepimp]

Currently there is no way to run a server without being conencted to the internet, how ever I beliebe I heard that someone volunteered to write a new minilogin that may get done eventually.

[bushman77]

I have been able to load in 5.7 dr6 server and have that connect to minilogin, then i was able to have my client connect up to that and successfully login to my world.

The catch is you must have a backed up version of eqmain.dll from the pre16th patch inorder to be able to login with minilogin

[Hal2010]

I can volunteer time to update minilogin. where do I get the source for it?

[animepimp]

The source for minilogin won't help since the login process fundamentally changed. Basically what is needed is you packet collect the login process and write a program that sends the same format of packets back to the client. The old minilogin also had some major flaws, like it only supported one login account, which would be better to start over so that the same flaws don't come up again. Plus the source was never released so there is no way to get it unless you get a good decompiler.

[Hal2010]

Sounds Logical. I will take a stab at Sniffing the login process and see what im up against. If anyone has any kind of source to the minilogin someplace, just to jump start the process send a link. There must be something out there. how does the eqemulator site process the logins?

[RangerDown]

The current Emu login server only supports pre-Jun22 clients. And to give you an idea of what you might be up against to try and code minilogin for current patch versions -- it's been how long? 3 weeks? between Jun 22 and now and still no public logon available for later patches.

Also, don't forget that client authentication is only 1/2 of what the login server does. You also accept world server connections and maintain the server list. Fortunately you have code from the emu sources to go off of for what kinds of packets the worldserver sends and receives, but it's still gotta be done, preferably with no more than a couple hundred bugs :lol:

client connects to the minilogin server but i cant get the world server to show up any ideas? networked with 3 other comps via syslink router

thanx in advance

[Hal2010]

If minilogin is broken, there must be some code at eqemulator.net used to process logins. How do logins get progessed at the eqemulator site? where is the source for it?

[rizzen04]

They have no plans to release that code at all to the public, I dont blame them after all the hard work they put into all of this project to keep some to themselves.

[Hal2010]

I seems at one time I was monkeying around with the emulator at the hackerquest site. It handled logins within the emulation code I think. I wonder if it can be stripped out and used to build the new minilogin program?
