BTW, installed this on Windows Server 2012 R2 x64. Went flawlessly, without a hitch. Everything started up correctly.

I will see where this fits in with timetables right now, I have a lot going on.

I don't have any quick LS .MSI's but I could provide an easy setup guide unless someone else beats me to the punch

That'd be awesome if you could provide such a thing, Akka.

Hey Akkadius, loving all the hard work you do!

Is there a way I can access the the .cpp and .h files? They must be buried somewhere I have not thought to look.

If you want to compile your own binaries you will have to compile your own source entirely, I did not bundle the source with the repack. The point was to provide a stable build and not let people try to compile from our repo which is constantly changing and potentially introducing bugs and issues that people do not know how to troubleshoot.

We're going through a new process of developing where we will mark a point in time in which our code repo is stable and we'll announce an upgrade with an easy means of upgrading, it will be seamless.

I am so excited to try this, Thank you so much Akka. I am having one problem though, after install I go to run t_start_server.bat it goes to start then tells me it cant find world.exe, sharedmemory.exe, and so on and so forth. Any suggests for this? I am running windows 7 and have repaired the download, restarted and no luck


Thanks

Make sure the batch file is in the same directory as the exes.

Thanks, they are all in the same place though

I paid for Navicat, so I don't know HeidiSQL. However, edit your PEQ database and find the "account" table. Find the CharName of the character you wish to be GM and change the "status" field to 250. Save changes.

Relog your toon, then when in game issue a:

#gm on

Whilst your character is targeted.

Nothing major, at first i was running as administrator, and it didnt work. So, i decieded to not run as administrator and it worked perfectly fine. As for the GM i never knew you could navigate command prompt. So, when i learned that, everything went well.

Thanks for the help

Weird, at least it worked.

LOL, you should know Noport always seems to be on another topic. Should ever an EQEMu meet and greet go on in the future, I believe he'll be the first person I seek out for the laughs.

Woah!

This is amazing, thanks for putting this together!
