COMPLETE PUBLIC SERVER SETUP - Jan-2011

[lerxst2112]

Yes, use perl 5.12.

You'll also need to edit the source code to use the proper libraries. Find in files for perl510, and change both lines it lists to perl512.

These are the lines you should see after your search:

  C:\EQEmu\ServerCode\trunk\EQEmuServer\world\EQWParser.cpp(35):#pragma comment(lib, "perl510.lib")
  C:\EQEmu\ServerCode\trunk\EQEmuServer\zone\embperl.cpp(26):#pragma comment(lib, "perl510.lib")

Where can I get it? ActivePerl is at 514.

I compiled the server files Note: Missing Registered patch House of Thule
From http://projecteqemu.googlecode.com/svn/
Downloaded Oct-2011

[WORLD__INIT] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEmulator 0.8.0
[NET__IDENTIFY] Registered patch 6.2
[NET__IDENTIFY] Registered patch Titanium
[NET__IDENTIFY] Registered patch SoF
[NET__IDENTIFY] Registered patch SoD
[NET__IDENTIFY] Registered patch Underfoot

Added #include "HoT.h"
Added HoT::Register(into);
Added HoT::Reload();

Edit Patches.cpp Example: Z:\ServerFiles\trunk\EQEmuServer\common\patches

#include "../debug.h"
#include "patches.h"
#include "Client62.h"
#include "Titanium.h"
#include "Anniversary.h"
#include "Underfoot.h"
#include "SoF.h"
#include "SoD.h"
#include "HoT.h"

void RegisterAllPatches(EQStreamIdentifier &into) {
Client62::Register(into);
Titanium::Register(into);
SoF::Register(into);
SoD::Register(into);
Underfoot::Register(into);
HoT::Register(into);
}

void ReloadAllPatches() {
Client62::Reload();
Titanium::Reload();
SoF::Reload();
SoD::Reload();
Underfoot::Reload();
HoT::Reload();
}

I have no idea why it was remarked in the file patches.cpp so i added it back.
I'll be running some test on standalone server.

The HoT patch is commented out because it is not in a playable state. The HoT patch has a minimal set of working Opcodes/structs to get in game with the live client (well the live client as it was the last time I updated it a couple of months ago).

Note that the House Of Thule client from Steam is really what we would class as Underfoot, the only difference from the Underfoot Steam download is the CD key gives you access to the HoT expansion, if you should choose to open an account with SOE and patch up to EQLive.

Thanks. Got it going server-wise except I am getting [Debug] [World__LS_ERR] Unable to resolve 'PEQ' to an IP.

I plan to delete my folders and start over to try to repeat the process and maybe fix the IP issue.

Its been awhile since I played with this but I put mine back up today on a new machine. Started fresh and it took roughly 2hours because I was being dumb.
The guide is still pretty much spot on.

I used a copy of the following that I had saved:
ActivePerl-5.10.1.1007-MSWin32-x86
Mysql-5.0.82-win32
zlib123-dll
Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition with SP1

[Debug] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_3012.log
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Loading server configuration..
[Debug] [NET__WORLD] WorldConnection connect: Connecting to the server localhost
:9000 failed: TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error: 10061
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__ERROR] worldserver.Connect() FAILED! Will retry.
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Starting main loop...

This is getting frustrating.

It's normal to see that when you start everything as things get in sync. If you're still having trouble after it has been running a few minutes then you need to post those errors.

[dhgbrown]

I am getting this error message on the client:

Sorry %3, you already have the maximum number of active tasks.

What did I miss now?

Ok after reading and searching the forums this tutorial is to establish a server online with a login server remotely.

I need to setup this server so that it is Lan only because it will soon not have internet access indefinately. So with that said. After checking on the server the world.exe was failing due to not finding end statement. Fixed that.

Then Started batch file again and I get Handle_NewLSInfo error, remote address was null, defaulting to stream address ... Login server crashes.

What can I do to get a Lan only server running? Do I need two boxes on with login server and another with database server?

I have my sql pearl and apache up as portable but i dont know how to get the DB into it every time i try i get some error another and it never goes in correctly i dont understand what it means to sorce something or how to do it i cant even find matching maps to matching db files its all so scattered around that its to complex to just find the right things you need
Im just trying to get a server up for offline use for a new SOF un patched install that works on all the content. I figured out how to write uests and add content but the repack i used is so outdated and gimped i cant get sof to work on it
This is all so very frustrating that the people making the emu expect all of us to be devs and programmers and we arent :( More people might do eqemu if it was simplified alot more ...
Just so frustrated sorry for the rant but ive been trying to make mine work for 2 weeks and every time i get close it all gets screwed up and i have to start over i have so much crap downloaded none of it is ever versioned corectly its hard to tell what goes with what . im just going to have to delete everything and start all over

[joligario]

You don't have to set up a server just to play. There also isn't a need for new servers. So if it is too complicated for the given step-by-step instructions, just join an existing server.

[wolfwalkereci]

If you really really must have your own local server I can assist you with compiled binaries but its up to you to get everything else working.
I have copy/pasted the guide from here to my forums and made it prettier and easier to follow (my opinion) however its almost exactly word for word what is posted here.
The only thing I do is provide downloads of the required files and compiled binaries starting with I believe 2027.
PM me if you want to go that route.
