Nice job New users rejoice! I'll test this out later tonight or tomorrow

Is there someplace I can download the real patcher for eq2 like back in the day or do I have to let the streaming client patch all 14 gigs of assets, then try it? Since it's all free now I'm letting the streaming one patch I guess. Can't wait to give this a test. I kinda let this project slide out of my view the last couple years and would love to stay updated with it once again.

This page has a link to the full install.

Much Appreciated Jab. I actually went looking for quite some time and found that exact page, I think about the same time you posted this. Unless Im just too tired, I think they made it hard to find for some reason, lol.

Latest Client does not work with 1.5

Any update coming ?

06:40:01 I Login: New client from ip: 127.0.0.1, port: 55649
06:40:01 E Login: Error bad version: 58483 - Login Denied.
06:40:01 E Login: Login Denied! Bad version: 58483 (resp 6)

Generally the server pack releases aren't maintained, you can get our DB and source from the SVN however. Run this query on your world and login DBs and you'll be able to connect, though.

Code: Select all

update opcodes set version_range2 = 58483 where version_range1 = 57121;

Thanks manged to figure out how to do it
I am used to working with HeidiSQL but it does not show the databases once connected.
Had to update the databases through Xampp.

Connected and logged in with no issues... thanks

So will 11042L work?

Cheers

[John Adams]

Current live should work, though you will need to connect your ServerPack world to our patch server to automatically update the opcodes, and grab any new structs. You can also source the opcodes data tables from eq2content SVN if you are mysql savvy.

Edit: Actually, opcodes have not been verified for a few weeks. Give us through this weekend to make sure the current client is still okay.

Thanks for the reply.

Iv been at it all day (mainly because of a crappy half meg connection) and iv managed to get the content, server and tools folders from the SVN, also downloaded the server pack 1.5 but this is where I'm stuck.

Had a few mmo servers in the past and mySQL was always a pain in the ass, but in the admin guide for the server i can follow it right up until i need to run the login server. Basically i installed mysql with XAMPP, problem is it wont start lol. So i then installed the whole 250mb mysql package and after that ran XAMPP and it was shown as running. (cant stop it but why would i want to! ) That's when i get the the minilogin stopped working situation and iv tried running as admin, running it from C:\ running it from D:\, E:\, F:\ AND S:\ then i ran after a dog but still it wont work. if i didn't shave my head id be pulling my hair out at this stage.

Any light you could shed on my situation would be a trillion candle light torch in this blackened hole I'm in.

Thanks


[EDIT] I'm always doing this, get stuck for 2/3h and ask for help and then within 17.28 seconds iv worked it out.

Anyway iv got XAMPP working with mysql starting and stopping with no issues. copied over the structs and exe's from 0.7.2 that i got earlier and also added the auto update ini to the world and login server so its getting any updates. BUT unsurprisingly im unable to connect because login and client versions don't match.

Client 11042L

Error bad version: 58544 - Login Denied.
Login Denied! Bad version: 58544 (resp 6)

Does that meen the login servers wanting 58544L clients or am i confusing myself?

Thanks. again.

[Jabantiz]

58544 is the data version, it is different from the client version (SOE likes to confuse us). I just checked what we have an we only go up to 58542, we should get this updated soon though. When it is updated the server will grab the new opcodes, you will then need to move the opcodes from the world db to the login db and you should be good to go.

And Welcome to the forums, nice to see another new member.

SoE and there confusing backwards ways lol, I guess iv broken something again because the login and world servers wont even run now, login stops working and world just vanishes. So ill get it back to a stage of running and wait until monday then.

Also due to the many usernames and passwords i had to make a new account because i didn't take note. but its like being new again

Thanks guys!

[Jabantiz]

Also if you don't want to wait you can try the exe linked on this post. Just drop it in the eq2 folder, overwrite the one that is there, and you should be able to log in.

If login crashes shortly after starting up it is usually because it is already running or the port it uses is already in use, same for world if it starts but then closes right away on its own.
