New: How To Setup a 0.6.1DR2 Server

[sesmar]

I have been working on putting together a Tutorial on setting up a EqEmu 0.6.1Dr2 Server. You can view this tutorial at http://eqemu.sesmar.net/eqemu_6_1dr2/

Check it out and let me know what you think or if I have left anything out.

Does this actually work with the current EQ live patch?

[Hellefire]

The database directory was named eqdr2_{something}. Might want to specify to rename it eqdr2. Also, you said to type in 'use eq' instead of 'use eqdr2'. Everything else seemed to work ok, though the eqhost file looked like this:
[Registration Servers]
{
"67.15.24.48:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"67.15.24.48:5997"
}

I changed the IP address for Login Servers to the eqemu address, inside the quotes. When I ran the shortcut (with patchme), the icon looked like the old EQ, the shield with blue letters. And it patched from live-eq and changed eqhost to look like you said it would in the tutorial. I exited out of Live and re-changed the eqhost file, but specifically to what you had suggested:
[LoginServer]
Host=newlogin1.eqemulator.net:5998

and I found the EQGame icon (black with gold letters) and made a shortcut for that, and added the patchme to the command line. Now it seems to jump in without patching, but after logging in I get a blank server list.

** edited to avoid looking too stupid **

not getting a server list at all, is my next dumb problem

Besides a couple typos, the use eq/use eqdr2 and renaming the eqdr2 folder were the only problems I found.

Thank you for your comments and what you have noticed I will look into these corrections.

This version of eqemu was live comaptable before the path on 6/29/05 however it is still extremely buggy and under development.

then why i get 1017 error?

I ran into a brick wall when you're supposed to open mysql through the command prompt, for some reason it just won't let me do it. It says it's not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

this picture says it all

just wont work

[kawika]

try

cd c:\mysql\bin

It's not that it won't work, it's that you haven't given the community enough time to help you...nor have you asked for help before saying "just wont work"

[vRandom]

according to the picture mysql is installed in the root of c: which is a bad thing, (not that it won't work, but could cause problems)

should have unziped the mysql with directorys...

cd \bin (since it's in the root dir)
vRandom

[kawika]

I have to disagree vRandom. The folder is named mysql and is in the root directory...hence making the path to the bin directory at

c:\mysql\bin

ignore this

I have the same version of everquest as PEQ has as of this very second.
<I mean is it compatible with PEQ as I know I can log in there>
I think I have everything working now. I made a few mods along the line(Dont ask me yet I need another month or so to give you an answer_LOL).

Anyway I have no errors in world.exe or boot5zones.bat.
My server shows up in the port 5998 login select along with PEQ and others.
<Yes I want it others to be able to play on my server(I hope)>

Now I set my server to open/Tried to log in/received 1017 error.
<The World.exe says Expecting OP login something or other Discontecting client IP xxxx.xxx so I assume Im communicating to the server>
So this leads me to my question of compatibility.
Also do I need to register my server or not? Is that necessary?
EDIT>> Oh and the server type says minilogin. Does that need to be changed? How can I do that if this thing is even gonna work with my version LOL!

Thanks..

EDIT>>>OK Forget the questions..I think I figured out that Im gonna need a No_IP account(To enable others to play) or something to login from the server select. Anyway I have months to do this..I guess I gotta quit with this for awhile and work on another project..Hopefully I can try again in a few weeks..

[Dr Zauis]

Rule #1..Always assume your client is not compatible!
Im using this database with a 0.6.1DR1 server. I hope there are no issues. I havent tried with perl yet. Ive been studying Mysql front and understand somewhat what is happening. I will try to flag my char as a GM. The EQemu Guidebook is a good thing.

[Iadas]

Howdy all,

Just trying to start up my own emu to play around with and was following this guide and had a question.

Was able to follow it very well, but when I went to try to play I didn't know what to type in for the username/password. WOuld it be the normal station password? I tried the DB User/pass that I set up but it wouldn't connect.

Thanks much.

[Ellengos]

I am able to log into the game and play on the preferred server, but the server I created does not work.


When I try to run world.exe, I keep getting these two errors:

Error message: 'Version invalid'


and

Error: DBAsyncCB_LoadVariables failed: !GetAnswer: '#1146: Table 'eq.variables' doesn't exist'
