With regards to your 1017, If you want to HOST AND PLAY ON SAME COMPUTER:
Set up a server using jezebell's guide
In loginserver.ini:
replace your [loginserver] block to this:
[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net
loginserver=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net
loginport=5997
loginport=5997
loginport=5997
make worldaddress: localhost
in boot5zones.bat - MAKE ALL IPS localhost
In eqhost.txt :
[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin2.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin3.eqemulator.net:5997"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin2.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin3.eqemulator.net:5997"
}
then run world.exe, and boot5zones.bat
This will make your server show up on the public server select screen, but will only allow YOU to connect...this is how i have fixed 1017 on minilogin, HOWEVER - this will not work if your internet is down
Good luck.
