Windows Server Installer :: Modular & Scripted

[Esildor]

Fingered it out again :P

Great work x2 Akka !

[morbidpoet]

I have the server on a 32 bit windows 7 laptop using a wifi connection. I had to dl perl 32 bit and changed the name to the 64 bit file and your prog worked great after that!!!! The problem I am having now is the online connect works just the lan does not connect. I have the client on a win 10 system but I have ran it on a windows 7 system using VM workstation 11. its not seeing the the server accost the lan . In the server eqemu_config.xml file I have tried leaving 127.0.0.1 and I have tried replacing it with the server laptops ip address. I have been putting the servers ip. Any thoughts on this and has any of the log in tools like MiniLogin that might help with this. I have been searching and trying things for 2 weeks.

There is nothing in the t_server_crash_report so i haven't a clue what is happening. If you have any idea what could be happening, please help. Also, I am unable to get zone.exe to open, it just shoots up a quick blank cmd prompt and goes away. Thanks!

I am running this in Windows 10.

I, too, am having the exact same issue as well! The only difference is for me is that i'm running on Windows 8.1.

Only issue I'm running into with it; it gets to '[Saved] :: t_stop_server.bat' and doesn't progress past there. It's downloaded everything else, but it gets to that part and hasn't moved in an hour.

Just re-run the installer, a web request has probably become hung.

It should skip program installations and just go through a bunch of the other routines again, no big deal.

Did and same thing, except this time it's saying everything else is updated, but still does this. -- Windows 8 x64, should add, I guess.

Delete eqemu_update.pl and re-run the installer

[Nerdgasm]

EDIT 2: Deleted the eqemu_update.pl and re-ran (using admin, course)

Grabbed the binaries;

Extracted the maps;

Downloaded the OP Codes;

Fetched the Quest plugins//extracted them; (No plugin updates found//No quest updates found)

Fetched the LUA Modules//extract them; (No LUA updates found)

Grabbed the .dll//.bat files

and stopped again.

--Got work in the morning I'll let it sit here through the night and check on it in the morning, if it doesn't work I'll post again.--

[Nerdgasm]

Still stuck at the same place.

Those t-start/stop files, etc from that option, the update script comes to a halt when
choosing to download those. It just hangs there forever, without going back to the
script menu.
I never worried about it, I use my own start/stop scripts but just wanted to check them
out anyways.

Think I found the issue in the script actually, was recently changed.

Delete eqemu_update.pl and start again, or, if you can run eqemu_update.pl standalone, hit option 20 to refetch a clean version of the script

[Akkadius]

Tested a clean install after making these script changes and everything works flawlessly.

[Nerdgasm]

Went ahead and re-ran the eqemu_install and now it's at the MariaDB :: Installing :: peqbeta.sql..

Thanks Akka! Will post back with any additional issues should I have them! =)

[DanCanDo]

I just downloaded updated script and option 15 worked great now.
It was previously hanging on the t-stop-server.bat, but now it grabs
the other files as well, then goes back to menu. Thanks Akka

First Akkadius, thank you so much for taking time to make this complete package. It really is a great thing you've done for people such as myself and others.

Having said that, I am experiencing some frustrations getting everything actually doing what It's supposed to.

I have been trying to set up a Private Offline server with little success to get it all off the ground
Your install package went off fine, and I had no issues. I changed the eqhost file to reflect the internal connection, and changed my server name. I forwarded port 5998 on my router as well. (I may be missing further forwards Im not certain).

I ran the server start, and everything loads quickly and without issue save for one, My login server window shows the error:

[Error] "Handle_NewLSInfo error, remote address was null, defaulting to stream address 127.0.0.1
[World Server] Server KHAL(Test) did not attempt to log in but unregistered servers are allowed.

I can load up the game, but when I try to login it sits on "Logging into server, please wait" indefinatly.

I assumed I needed to add a login account to the database and attempted to use a portion of the guide posted here
http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?Windows...er_Setup_Guide

that still made no difference and I am unable to get past the logging into server screen.

my login server window does show new titanium connection from 127.0.0.1 and that application packet was recieved from client, as well as a session ready recieved from client. But that is where it ends.

I am obviously missing somthing, and if anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate them. Im not certain where it is that I am goofing up, but Im sure its me. I have been trawling forums and old posts with similar issues, but most of them just sort of stop without a fix (or maybe the person figured it out)

Thanks again

For people trying to get the local loginserver to work like this, follow this guide I've just put together.
