Windows Server Repack (EQEmu Akka's PEQ Repack)

[provocating]

I think it is a long standing issue.

Thanks Provocating! I tried searching on Google and directly on the site but found nothing since I wasn't sure how to title the search query I guess.

I can give system particulars, I know for certain all clients that have reported the issue are using Titanium (including myself although I've never had it happen to me).

OS - WinSvr 2008R2 VM
CPU - 2vCPU
RAM - 4GB

It appears it would happen in any zone based on the other post, I've only had it reported in Hate/Sky so far. This also seems to coincide with another issue being seen with manastone and health ticks not updating till next server tick, and AOE mez ticks breaking much faster than when running the original repack code base. Do you think a client version change would make any difference?

[provocating]

Well I can say reliably I have never, ever seen or had it reported back on my servers when the clients are Underfoot.

My first report ever on this problem was last night and that was a player saying one used SoF and the other Titanium.

Haven't seen this problem either since moving to UF.

Let's take this back over to: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=39417

..since it's been identified as a base server code issue and not a problem singularly inherent to the repack.

This will make auditing the forums a little easier when it comes to researching the issue.


If the previously compiled repack didn't exhibit this behavior, it should give us a window for when the problem started.

Good point!

Very good, thanks sir! I couldn't find that thread initially as I just didn't know how to search apparently.

Hello, thanks for your work on this. Is this still working with Windows XP x64? I installed it per your instructions and I get a lot of errors saying they're not valid win32 applications.

I would not recommend the use of Windows XP

[nuceman2]

Ah, thanks for your quick response. Guess that was a bad idea to try it. Thought is strange that anything would run fine on XP x64

[nuceman2]

Do you happen to remember what you compiled the binaries with? I think it just needs some redist packages.

I just the port to 5999 and the server wont show up in the login server, whats the port? all ports are forwarded.

Not really sure if this repack is still supported, but I'm encountering issues not being able to connect to the database. I have previously set up a local server using http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?Complet...Guide&frm=Main . But my ISP doesnt allow hosting servers so I'm setting this up remote and thought that http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=38836 would be a great way to do it, so I installed, rebooted and when I run the server it cant connect to the DB. My first install made sense with XAMPP providing the sql service, but how does mariadb work? I'm assuming the service isnt running and kinda confused as how it's suppose to work.

Sorry not sure how i got on this thead haha

This is a resounding success for me. I am riding a perpetual high from the giddy feeling of achievement. Thanks all around. My biggest obstacle arose from attempting to log in using an invalid eq client build. Once I tested that and failing to log into other's servers I was golden.

Does this support Windows X?
