[Camaris]

Many thx for u work Edgar, u really have done that i get my best server update, i was playing on eqemu 0.5.6 (with any changues done for me...) due to the old minilogin only worked on this version.

But i now can play on the latest server version, it is so nice.......

MANY MANY THX MATE =)

finwe: you can dual box from the same account with EQemu, so no needs to have 2 different accounts, this should solve your problem, i guess.

Tk you, great work.

Your logic is flawed. The authentication of who you are is the IP Address, and the IP address alone.

[finwe]

sure, but future release can comprobe the login and password and then update the table with the current ip of the user... just if developers want it of course

Jesus i feel stupid reading this... All i want is a fricken link to download, lol. There is nothing to download or anywhere to get anything, i am just supposed to enter in these magic words and numbers into my makebelieve file. I am seemingly lost, i play EQ constantly and just want to check out emulator. Anyone have a link for more of a beginners look at getting going on this?

Someone obviously didn't do much of a search.
Have you tried the Tutorials and How-To's forum??
The information is there, if you would just freaking look.

Thank you! I hadn't upgraded my eqemu local server for months, and thought I'd never get it working again after patching and upgrading to 5.9 and discovering that the old minilogin didn't work anymore... now I have a working install again, at least to the extent of logging on and zoning in.

Hey Ed I've got an idea. what about adding another column to the account table that stores the encrypted password on first login, then from that point forward checking just the encrypted password sent against the encrypted password stored (requiring no decrypting). What this will allow is someone to log in remotely (as long as there are no duplicate passwords). The only reason I'd like this functionality is that I use Minilogin while I'm world developing, to keep the database clean and since the server is going up and down constantly and I don't want to piss people off disconnecting them all the time.

I'll think about adding that. It is extremely low priority though, so if I do decide to add that it wont be soon because I have so many other things to do.

No rush man, honestly figuring out that black screen of death is the only thing I'm worried about right now. And as always, thanks for all the great work you're doing for the community.

SWEET DUDE!

This actually allows basically... unlimited accounts, is the source on the CVS server? I enjoy LAN parties (for LAN without internet access =( and itll be a pain to enter all of the IPs, would be easier to just make it accept all...)

Could I just enter *.*.*.* for IP for it to accept all?

Also, how could I integerate it into a PHPBB forum like you used to do for the old loginserver?

[Elkay]

As far as I know, LE's code doesn't accept wildcards. It has to be an exact IP match. I myself have, however, logged into my ML from outside my LAN with the appropriate IP address set in the DB. The only workaround I've been able to think of was to store the encrypted login/password to the DB for comparison, but that's not a priority since ML does accomplish what it was meant to be used for already. Would be a nice feature for down the road, almost like a ML/LS hybrid lol.

Okay, I've perused every post I can find to try and find an answer to my 1017 problem but have found none, so I'm giving in and posting.

world.exe says

Any clues from anyone on what might be preventing me from getting in?

Back to fiddling around in hopes I can figure it out....

[Edgar1898]

What version of EQEMu are you running? And could you paste all the output of world?
