How to use eqgame.exe

[Shawn319]

We dont write EQW. you need to e-mail "justsomedude"

Ok, no problem...

[rubydefiance]

What's the difference without 'patchme'? I just did a right-click+drag to my desktop and have no issues...

Every time i try to change the EQHost.txt to what it says to change it to:

[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemu.org:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemu.org:5999"
"eqlogin2.eqemu.org:5999"
}


EQ just redownloads the old version of it again , ive tried changing it AFTER i run the patch, but..uhh, that dont work, and ive tried doing everything else in this thread like changing the target in the EQ shortcut.... im outa ideas :(, EQW doesnt work for me either ... any help would be appriceated

Your not doing it right. If you dont want to use EQW (yes it does work if you use it right), you need to run eqGAME.exe, not everquest.exe. Everquest.exe is the patcher and will re-download eqhost.txt again if you run it. there is another way though, you can patch (dont hit Play or close it), then change eqhost.txt, then hit play.

well i tried running eqGAME.exe, but that told me to run everquest.exe.. hehe.. but i changed it after the patch and it worked just fine...thanks alot!! now i just need to figure out how to work EQW, and make my own server ....

BTW, here is the error i get when i try to run EQW:

"CreateSurface (Primary) failed! (88760091)"... ive tried everything i can think of on this one too, but then again im prolly just thinkin wrong ..... again any help with anything would be greatly appriceated


I would be interest in helping you guys develop more if you still need the help, im a quick learner :p...


-------------------

ok nm, i got it figured out... just i get the "You need to rerun the EQ patch" error when i try to connect ... ...

Hmm, well you can always ask JSD to make an option in eqw to run eq without any border and to resize screen. :o

[lenwu]

Click Start
Click Run
Type in 'command'
Type in 'cd..'
Type in 'cd PROGRA~1'
Type in 'cd Everquest'
Type in 'eqgame.exe patchme'



the only reason im doin it this way is my EQW aint working for some reason.....
But i get the cd part...go to type in 'cd PROGRA~1' ....i get Invalid directory

any help?

I tried to find "patchme" but no files on my comp I also did the patch and then swap out the eqhost.txt files, I connect buy it tells le to rerun the patch.Whats going on anyone tell me pls?

[singalots]

Error 1017 Im posting this everywhere so i might get some help incase you dont see it some where else now, i just need to unzip the 4.1 patch into something i dont know which might some one help me there? this is starting to get frusterating :evil:

[Piska]

Just so you guys know in the next version of my program I am adding an option to start eq with the patchme parameter. Look for it in the 3rd party tools.

[EQLvr]

I have two questions. I just intsalled eq on my computer after a while of rebuildin it, i know i shouldn't patch cause itll patch me all the way up, but it is in the state of no patches heh. WHat do i do?

Also, i cannot get the eq patchme thing. Iwent into the dos thing and cannot get it to work. My eq file is located in c:\program files\sony\everquest trilogy\whatever. thanks

EDIT

Oh and i went to http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=41381 but i donot know what to download there. Thanks!

run eq, the patch, after its done searching for files, dont have autoplay on, once its done patching, go to your everquest folder wherever you may have it, and open up your eqhost, copy and past this and then go to file and hit save, close out of that, and go back to the patch, and hit play, dont repatch it, then go to the login screen and login with your eqemu acct and password, easy as 123abc

please some help me i need a guide from start to finish on how to make eq emu work im new please some one help!?
