Windows Server Repack (EQEmu Akka's PEQ Repack)

[Uleat]

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know much about Akkadius's repack...

If you didn't find either *.conf file, then it may not be setup by default to run RoF+ clients..someone else will have to verify that.


As far as whether those *.conf files are registered in the repack, check this file in your local repository:
https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/blob...es/patches.cpp

Both functions need to have the StructStrategy method calls for the client that you are attempting to use.

If they are not present, you should be able to add them, recompile and then copy over the new binary files to the
repack's server directory.

As this now makes your content 'custom,' I don't know how updates to the repack are handled and you may need to ask
some more questions.


IF they are present in your local copy, then there are still some other issues that need to be addressed..but, we need to
first determine if those methods are being called.

markusdabrave tried Titanium, UF, and RoF. Titanium and UF worked. RoF did not.

Maybe I'll just need to compile myself.

It's the only major thing not in the repack.

It's a hell of a lot better than the alternative, doing it all from scratch having no clue what you're doing.

Even if you do know what you're doing, people get hung up on many stupid things.

The repack is definitely a massive time saver.

I really don't feel like spending 10 hours going through and getting everything just weeded out just right and tested on several platforms to change one small thing to build another repack.

Also make sure the C:\program files\mariadb 10.0\bin precedes the C:\program files\mariadb 10.0\ statement. Otherwise the search will stop in the C:\program files\mariadb 10.0\ folder and will not search the \bin folder. At that point it will error out. Old DOS trick and problem. The repack installs both path statements, but it doesn't install the \bin statement first. Well, it didn't in my installation.

I think the Repack is great. Vsab brought the variable solution to me.

I was just letting everyone know that if they do have this problem to check the path statement to make sure the \bin precedes the other mariadb path statement. You shouldn't have to change it not even implying that you should.

I just wanted anyone who is running into this problem and don't have any xp in the old dos path environment to know what to look for.

The correction is a simple one.

Just add \bin to the first mariadb path statement and delete it from the other one.

Takes longer to find it in the path than to correct it.

Hello...

I have a fresh install using Titanium client. I can launch the server just fine, get the four console windows as expected. When I try running the client, I can't see any servers and login fails. Anyone have a clue as to what may be the problem?

[karekiz03]

I got it up and running, but when I restarted the installer tried to re-install on bootup. Anyway to kill the installer from launching on restart?

Running Windows 7 64-bit

*Edit: Fixed it, was problem with corrupted registry on startup. Used Fixit to fix the registry.

Not sure this is the right place to post this, but I as well was trying to dabble in the setting up my own server. I did the install of Akka's PEQ repack, and everything works great as far as running the server, being able to log in (through the eqemu login server). I was even able to change the name based on the notes provided. The one thing I am confused on is being able to edit the tables. I have basic database familiarity, but I always have a server address/tns to which to connect along with my username/schema and password. I tried opening the HeidiSQL but it wants me to try to set up the session and I don't seem to have much direction on that. I tried using the my.ini to load settings, as well looking in the file to try to use some of the values but that seems to fail.
I tried running the MySQL Client (Maria DB 10.0) directly but it prompts for a password, which I do not have.

Does anyone have links to where I can find more information on editing the db for this? I tried looking around on the wiki, but i am missing any details around this. So far my searches so far are not turning up anything which is getting me the details i need as well, but I may be searching for the wrong keywords.

Assuming you're trying to log into the database from the local machine, all you need is the password from the eqemu_config.xml file.

It is recommend that you use a Virtual Machine if you do not want this repack to affect your main operating system as uninstalling does not always work the best for some people

Could always try CCleaner might be able to clean registry and fix uninstall problems works wonders for a lot of stuff for me at least.
