Quick setup guide to getting onto an EQEmu server.

[Garrfish]

Well it looks like this is an issue for a dev or someone who has had the same problem.

The best advise I can give you is to create a seperate copy of EQ on your hard drive (if you have the space). That way you can play on the live Sony servers without having to change any files and the other copy of EQ can be used for the emu.

Hey wondering if someone can help. I've made it to the part where i install the patcher. This is what happens:

I've installed the patcher to my EQ directory, i also had to install the mdac_typ files too. So far so good. Now when i run patch.exe, i get the message runtime (long bunch of numbers) then it says cannot find patchsrv.dat.

Please help, i've only just tried to play EQEmu again after giving up months ago.

When you patch everquest, your files are changed. Now, depending on which server (eqemu, regular everquest) you are logging into, you will have your files patched to their specifications. So this means that if you decided to change the eqhost file in your c:\Program Files\Everquest directory so that it logs you into the eqemu login server, you're going to need to run the EQEmuPatcher which will roll your files back to the way that works best for eqemu. This means that your files are no longer exactly the way that eqlive would like them to be. So, yes your eqgame.exe file may have been patched which would mean you can't get right back into eqlive.

The best way, or at least a good way to play around with eqemu is to copy your entire Everquest directory to some other location. Then install the EQEmuPatcher in that new everquest directory. Also, only change the eqhost file in the new everquest directory. Then, you will have two fully functional eq installs on your computer. One that is executed using the normal eq icon on your desktop and the other which is executed using the eqemupatcher icon which eqemupatcher will place on your desktop when you run it from the new everquest directory.

when i run the EQEMpatcher i get a message that says: Cannot connect to patcher server.

Is there another way to get around that?

Patcher is down. It will be down for a long time. It may never come back up.

[kikidersedge06]

so is there another way around? :(

[a_Guest03]

No. At this time, the only solution is to wait until the next release.

[kikidersedge06]

O.K i managed to get it patched but now when i go to connect and enter my sn and password that i got on this forum it closes its self. how can i fix that?

[kikidersedge06]
