Is the update server down? I looked at the forums all night last night, and tried everything I could find..

Need help...

I successfully ran the serverpack with the minilogin... but I can't get that version to work.
(you can connect to the server, get the create char thing, but can't get past that.)

Try changing

Code: Select all

[UpdateServer]
updateserveraddress=updates.eq2emulator.net
updateserverport=9102

to

Code: Select all

[UpdateServer]
updateserveraddress=updates.eq2emulator.net
updateserverport=9103

Same address, different port.

I tried 9101, 9102 & 9103, same result

Update: tried to ping updates.eq2emulator.net and got a timed-out result. So I looked up the IP and I am able to connect via the IP so a DNS problem obviously.

After it connects, I get 2 tables updates (commands and variables if I remember right) then it stops and times out after like 30 seconds.
Wouldn't it be way more simple to just post a .sql file that we could download?

Ping is blocked by my firewall. Are you running the executable on public SVN or compiling your own? If you are compiling, you might need to update as there was a bug that was causing hostnames to be resolved incorrectly.

The update server is FAR easier to use for most people than trying to explain how to import a file full of sql statements into a database. Why you are having problems, I'm not sure. Assuming you are able to connect to the update server, could you try deleting everything from your table_versions table so that it can recreate all the tables?

No.

The update finally went through as I tried again a couple times later. (had deleted the table already).

[Sylva1n]

Should I post the IP address and port that worked for me as a reference for future users that could encounter the same problem?

[LethalEncounter]

No, because the IP could change at any time and as far as I know noone else is having an issue with it.
