EQ2Emulator ServerPack 1.6 Release!

Post by John Adams » Mon Jun 02, 2014 5:55 pm

Here is the newest ServerPack 1.5 Release for EQ2Emulator 0.7.3-dev. Due to the problems encountered with the newer clients and so many bug fixes being applied since last Dec, I am putting out an interim ServerPack before the full release of 0.7.3 later this year.

Download: EQ2Emulator-ServerPack1.6.zip (252mb)

Link: The Admin Guide


What's Included?
  • EQ2LoginServer (minilogin) v1.04
    EQ2Emulator Release 0.7.3-dev (svn 2492- May 29, 2014) World server (32-bit and 64-bit* binaries for Windows)
    EQ2Emulator Database Milestone 2 including current LUA Scripts (ongoing development)
    Client Compatibility: 11042L (current live client!)
What's New?
See this post for release info for EQ2Emulator 0.7.2 rev 2364.

UPDATE: For ServerPack1.6, the only change is the binaries, structs, opcodes and content have been refreshed. Stay tuned for the 0.7.3 full release later this year.

FYI, you'll need to disable all your local instances of MySQL (port 3306) for this to work as designed. This is an unzip-and-go package, there should be ZERO configuration at all. I even found a way to make Xampp work on any drive.

Please report bugs or oddities here. Enjoy.

Wow! downloading now.

[EDIT] Everything is working flawlessly, got skills too!
I'm not sure what it was but I'm guessing the old code and new code were messing things up something fierce with the new client and old server files, just a shame you had to spend a day repacking the server. But on the bright side for the next few months everyone who wants to get a server going will have a really easy time of it!

No bugs so far but the server did stop responding. (log doesn't shed any light on it.)

Thank you!
I cant see it killing the server but it may have an incorrect tooltip. Muhahaha :twisted:

Don't worry about my time, I do things when life allows :) I was more concerned at your continued valiant attempts, seeing your struggles and knowing full well it was a mixture of many things. The least I could do after your tribulations was update the pack to see if it solved your problems.

Good to see it has. Now when SOE updates the client again, be ready for more hurt. I suggest backing up the current client you have (that works) before connecting to SOE servers again for the live game.

Normally we keep up with live (we were only 2 weeks behind this time) but VGOEmu has taken 2/3rds of us because that game is going away in 2 mos, so we have to get all the data we can before then. Then I should be able to turn my attention back to EQ2Emu and at least get our world populated once and for all.

I did hear about vanguard, shame that... altho i never played it. put 3 years into EQ2 from 2004-2007 and when i came back in 2010 the player base had died, was like a ghost town lol. Its good to have an emu tho! its just a pitty SoE couldn't just give out the data as a sign of good faith... Let the player's host and or update it. Hell if people can make an emulator they can damn sure add content lol, would save people like you a lot of time AND give SoE some actual credit for once lol. But as i picture them scurrying away, faces plastered with mud and bits of trees in there hair and handfuls of cash muttering and laughing hysterically i know that will never happen.

Still! awesome job on the 1.6 update. I did have a thought though. Would it be easier for youz to have a structured svn package like the serverpack? so if i went to your svn it would look like the serverpack instead of files all over the place (which made it hard for me to figure out what went where and what was updated and what wasn't) and if I'm not mistaken, when you download it with tortoise it will have a green tick if its up to date and a red ! if it isn't, making it really easy to see not only that that file/s has been updated but also reacquiring the file and more importantly knowing where to put it!

Just my thoughts on it, gotta think of the simpletons :roll: hahaha.
Oh and its not really a bug but its the only thing iv found: the berserker doesn't have any ability's past level 1 (excluding heroic op)

Thanks and bye for now.

We can not distribute the client as that is where legal issues come in.

Have you tried a non streaming live client? If a current live client does not work let me know then give me a few days and I will get it logging in at the least.

I have updated the opcodes locally to get the live client to connect to emu servers, I ran into a problem with the DB updater though so I have to wait for John before they get pushed to the patcher, should be a day or two.

New opcodes are on the DB patcher (for those who run a server) and our server is updated and accepting live clients (11356L).

You connect to the DB patcher when you run your world. It has to be configured for public login. You will not get DB updates if you are using mini-login.
There are instructions included with the server pack, or click http://files.eq2emulator.net/files/Serv ... Guide.html

With John's permission I have made an update to his 1.6 release. This has a newer minilogin thanks to Jabantz, an update to the db as well as updated world 32 and 64 bit exe files. The server might allow for the latest live client to connect, as long as it is before the June 2nd patch. If you have the client before the May 19th patch (60069) it should be working. Thought I would share this if anyone was interested.
