New Offline Server - Having isssues

[orpheusisland]

********* Update: Resolved ********

Hi there, I've downloaded and installed the latest for Windows and out the box changed only the server name and ip address and port to 5558 which is for titanium client.

Tried to run T_start_server_with_bots and it just keeps repeating this: "World tried to login but there already exists a server that has that name"





The Json files are untouched other than ip/servername/port:



and



I've tried this on two Windows 10 machines now and getting the same error on both.

Unsure if there's anything I've missed here?

My Lan settings:

Wireless LAN adapter WiFi 2:

Just trying to get it working offline / on the local PC for now.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

If you are running it as an offline / LAN only server, perhaps run your own login server as well? In the config file, put in your server's IP in the "loginserver1" line. And when you start your server, be sure to use the script with login server (in Linux it is the: server_start_with_login.sh, sorry I am not familiar with Windows version).

Hi thanks for the reply, I'm starting it all using the bat file: t_start_server_with_login_server.bat



Is there anything else you know of that I should be doing to get the login server running?

updated json:

I tried updating it all with my current IP local address which is 192.168.1.131 in the json files and now still similar error:

Just an update:

Thanks to some help from joedit, i removed:

the two additional login servers (login server 2 and 3) in json and also changed legacy from 1 to 0 and that seems to have fixed it.

Now I just need to figure out how to get the client to connect, I double clicked everquest.exe but it's trying to patch to the sony servers.

I changed the eqhost.txt to:

[LoginServer]
Host=192.168.1.131:5998

any other suggestions?

Thanks again Joedit fixed the login issue with adding to the icon

eqgame.exe patchme
