Windows Server Installer :: Modular & Scripted - Page 29

You use your IP for loginserver if you're using a loginserver. If your just using same comp to run server and play on it, you can literally start the server right from install without changing anything...

https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/wiki/Windows-Server

About halfway down it starts with:

Setting up the Loginserver for Local LANNow, assuming you've had all of the above done, you may need to do a little manual work to configure some of your network settings to get your server to properly show up.First you will need to get your local LAN IPOpen up 'cmd' by going to Start and typing in 'cmd'Type the command:ipconfig

You will need to use this address in all of the following files

EQEmuServer: (login.ini)

EQEmuServer: (eqemu_config.json)

"loginserver2" : { "account" : "", "host" : "192.168.197.129", "password" : "", "port" : "5998" },

Uncomment the address tag and put the local LAN IP

All EverQuest Clients on the local network will need this entry: (eqhost.txt)

Restart your server using*t_start_server_with_login_server*and you should be good to go!

Any suggestions on how I can manipulate source from this easy installer?

I know the old install method is backlogged. I had a server running use both methods years ago, but it's been ages, and when I tried to do the old way, I was having issues with the dependencies.

Not sure if you have old dependencies or not, but I have to use x86 dependencies. I zipped up my entire dependencies folder contents (the one I use now for compiling) if you feel like grabbing them. (includes boost)

I believe the server is running correctly, but everquest.exe looks for updates and always times-out. Is there a setting I am missing? I updated eqhost:

[LoginServer]
Host=192.***.*.**:5998

is there another client-side change I need to make? Am I supposed to use the everquest.exe or is it eqgame? Eqgame just tells me to use everquest.exe.

Thanks,

Sticz

Thank you! I shall give it another go!

The dependencies above fixed the build issue. Thank you!

Hi, as someone who is not very computer literate, I downloaded the windows server files and followed the instructions to install, and am not sure if I interrupted the install, as there was a line that said "press any key to continue" but there was additional lines of text below it.. No files have appeared in the folder I was installing into, other than updates staged. I have HeidiSQL installed but cant find the folder where the file where "eqemu_config.json, shortname/longname" is located? Is there a simplier install instruction sheet for idiots lol

i have windows 10 home installed, and already run p99, ezserver and can play online but can seem to follow these instructions very well...

Does the installer at https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/wiki/Windows-Server still work? I downloaded and ran it as admin, but keep getting the following error during the install script:

Could Not Find C:\EQEmuServer\mariadb-10.0.21-winx64.msi

I noticed that this file is NOT in the RAR file nor is it in my folder (see image):

Below is the install script log:

From what I can see it appears I am missing files, but I am not sure where to acquire them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Step 5 Here tells you how to setup client.

Sticz · #11 12-09-2019, 09:06 AM

Thank you, but this is for LAN play, that set of instructions is for connecting to one of the EQEMU servers. I am running into conflicts between the server instructions on the website and the instructions the installer tells me, basically two different IP addresses. everquest.exe never connects, it keeps looking for Sony.

If it's looking for Sony your eqhosts.txt is wrong or you haven't added "patchme" to the end of your eqgame.exe shortcut (described in Huppy's link). Local players will want your local IP and outside players will want your public IP.

EQEmu

Code:

[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5999

Public

Code:

[LoginServer]
Host=101.202.111.222:5999

Can use https://whatismyip.com to find you public IP.

Local

Code:

[LoginServer]
Host=192.168.0.1:5999

etc...

If you're not using the public loginserver then loginserver 1 will be public IP and loginserver 2 will be local IP.

If you have no interest in public access then you only need one entry for local IP.

I don't do a lot of stuff with IPs, is the local IP referenced by the IPv4 address as directed by the instructions? I did miss the patchme instructions as they were not mentioned in the instructions for LAN/Loginserver instructions, thank you.

Sticz

If you open CMD and type ipconfig, the ipv4 address is your local IP. Most start with 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x.

If you use the link above, that is your public IP.

Hence, I answered your first question
