Private Login Server

image · #1 03-29-2009, 05:56 PM

Hi Everyone,

I have been having a few people test this and I have gotten positive results so far so I figure there is no reason not to let others try it.

I have made a new build (Private Login) which will allow unlimited users and a max of 3 worlds (like the minilogin setup was). This version requires Internet access to have the unlimited users enabled, but only has to check once every 6 hours (So far the testers have not seen any issues with the stats server going down and any disruption with their LS).

This is an individual login server and they run independent databases, so yes this is a downside but at least its an alternative. Stats will be uploaded to http://eqemu.devnoob.com/register/status.php

If you have any questions please let me know.

Without further babbling...

I just called the fire department because my insurance does not cover the fire damage which is about to occur.

LOL Yeormom, I personally don't see why anyone (including the emu team) would have an issue with this. The only thing that people had disagreements about was the secondary Public LS. With this option, it makes that secondary Public LS obsolete. There was never anything negative said about the Private LS released by Image as far as I know.

Image,

Thanks for providing an unrestricted version of the Private LS you created

This is a nice option for all servers to have available to them. I think this has alot of potential to really make a positive impact on the project. And, I am very sure that many people will be very glad to see this. I bet AX just peed his pants when he read this thread :P

so whats the deal with this, does the operator of the server have to put theirs up, or does the user of the private login choose 3 servers it can connect to?

The server admin would setup their server to use this and players would edit their eqhost.txt file to point to that particular server's Private LS. Having a limit of 3 servers per private LS would give a few servers the option to share a single LS if they wanted. This would be useful for servers like SoA that have their normal server and also a progression server that they run as well as their test server. No reason to have each on it's own private LS, so they could set them all up to use the one.

Guessing no source?? )

Nope. Would be irresponsible to release the source code.

I think it would be best if we could keep communication of your username/password secure in the most possible way. EQ is an old game and just isn't on the bleeding edge if you will

So did you totally rewrite the login or did you take the old login and mod it?

I kept the functionality of the database and some of the old features from the old Login Source I worked on. I took the 0.7.0 common directory and built it into this LS, had to rework a lot of the base netcode to be compatible with the LS. This is the same source I worked on with Lyenu which was leaked.

Technically, the source code could be released while keeping the crypto secure, as it was done with the last leak.

shit thats slick, how often does it update the page?? Booting up zones and it doesnt show how many are loaded. Nice job on making it easy to use.

Edit:nevermind its showing zones now

You're probably already using a compiled EQCrypto.dll anyway~ maybe even the "Athlon" special edition!
