Hope thats what you wanted?

Its possible your logs are short because you selected less than 5 when you ran cmake for log level, but that does not explain your issue..

The nexus zone looks good until:

---- Zone server nexus, listening on port:0 ----

It should then connect to your world and the world would have assigned it port 7005 assuming you use 5 dynamics zones...

In the launched window did it try to connect to world? Is the world window seeing the request from the zones?

Was world running? Try running world via command prompt as you did with zone.

World window looks like the picture above and the log file above. Just two lines.

Nothing every happens after that just stops.

Edit: Yeah if I have world window up and then run a zone window the world window stays the same nothing every happens in it.
Second Edit: Checked CMake and I just used the defaults like the guide said EQEMU_DEBUG_LEVEL is set to 5.

[rencro]

Looks fishy, dont want to send you on a wild goose chase, but it looks like none of the services are communicating with the world.

In a command prompt, with all eqemu services off run

netstat -ano

And look for port :9000, if anything is using 9000 and eqemu service are off then something has taken over that port, blocking the world.

If there is nothing using it, launch your emu as normal(assume bat file) then try the netstat again and see if anything is atttaching to port :9000 typically on 127.0.0.1

Yeah looks like something is using it.



Edit 1: Let me restart just to be sure nothing funny is happening and re run test.

Edit 2: Ah I figured it out with help from https://secure.dslreports.com/faq/9444 I found that my twonky server is using port 9000. Let me turn that off and try your next step!

Edit 3: OOOOOOHHH yeah I can log in to the game finally!! Thank you rencro so much that was making my head hurt, something so simple!

You can use the "Windows Task manager" to determine what program is using it by comparing the "pids" on the "Details" tab if using windows8
