### --- This file tells world.exe what computer mySQL is on. Host should
### --- be left "localhost" unless mysql is on a differant computer than world.exe.

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We recommend using the eqemulator.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: You can NOT use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automatically.

To debug zone.exe errors, what you need to do (in XP), is click on start/run then enter cmd in the dialog box that comes up. This will start a command prompt.

Type CD <path to where your zone.exe is>

then type, e.g.

zone . a.b.c.d 7995 w.x.y.z

I.e. take the first 'start zone ...' line in your boot5zones.bat, omit the 'start' command and type in the zone command and its parameters (i.e. putting your IP address(es) in place of a.b.c.d and w.x.y.z. This way zone.exe will show what errors it found and the window should not close.

change them from eqlogin1.eqemulator.net to login1.eqemulator.net and so on.

see if that fixes it

[manglervirus]

ok but the first post was to complicated and to the secound post it still doinig it

[molimo140]

3 Things:

1) Not enough information here, you need to post output of world.exe and zone.exe(s). Also post boot5zones.bat

2) Your DB.ini doesnt look to be correct..

host=**.***.**.**

It should be localhost, not an acutal IP address UNLESS mysql is not on the computer you're trying to host from.

3) Your [Loginserver] Block of your loginserver.ini is incorrect

loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net
loginserver3=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net
loginport=5995
loginport2=5995
loginport3=5995

Should be:

loginserver=eqemulator.net
loginport=5995

Post other info, might be more problems, but try those fixes.

i cant put localhost instead of my ip becuse it gives me an error mysqlpassword and or mysqlusername invalid

OK, let's try and make it simpler ....

Edit your boot5zones.bat file,

for every line that begins with :

start zone ....

change that to

zone ....

I.e., omitting the 'start' command should cause zone.exe to show the errors that is causing it to close. Copy and paste the output of that zone.exe here.

I believe that will only make it close in the same window. Lol. Add a pause before the last 'exit' in boot5zones.bat

[molimo140]

Look for a file called my.ini (found in C:\) ..Delete this file

run winmysqladmin.exe (c:\mysql\bin)

the choose a username/pword screen should pop up...make a new one

Close it and run mysql.exe (c:\mysql\bin)

type

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * TO user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'pass' WITH GRANT OPTION;

Replace user w/ the new username you picked and pass with the new password you picked

that should fix the rejecting of your mysql username / pword.

[manglervirus]

none of these are helping please i reinstaled my mysql username and mysql password and now it still doing the same thing this is what world looks like

guess what world botted fine but boot5zones dosent work still whats the soloution

now what do i do

[sotonin]

sounds like you are using a really old source. ...

is it 5.6 DR 7 .... <---- DR 7 is the important part.

It didnt say it in the portion you posted. So i'm going to assume you are trying to use the 5.6 binariares on sourceforge.

it wont work. sorry

[Tangeleno]

You need to change a line of code in the file NpcTypes.h

You prolly have a smaller number like this*

#define MMF_MAX_NPCTYPE_ID		10000

change it to somthing along the lines of

#define MMF_MAX_NPCTYPE_ID		400000

then recompile.


*Number in the first code might be off! It's just an example.

*Edit* After reading sotonin's post not sure if this will work but worth a try. Who knows maybe he has an older version of the client... or is that login server no longer around either?

[manglervirus]

so were can i get the right binareies

[manglervirus]

it says #define MMF_MAX_NPCTYPE_ID 200000
