Hi,

I am trying to update the WorldServer. I put all the SVN files in where it said too.

I changed the file in the Tools Folder to included my forum name and password, eg account=Celelond, then renames it LoginServer and overwrote the one in the WorldServer folder.
I then run the XAMPP, and then the Worldserver.
The world server then gives a login error but carries on loading up, am I right in guessing this means its not updating?
If this is true, any clues as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi there. Forum user/pass is not what it wants. It wants the World Name/Pass you created in the Account Manager app, under My Server Accounts.

To be clear, you need a Login account (to be a player) and a Server account (to run a world). Someday we may combine them all into one, but not currently.

My bad, got it to update now.

Seems my client is still not the same version, if I recall that's something we can do nothing about?

If you are trying to connect to your own Minilogin and local world on 127.0.0.1, be sure everyone is listening on that IP address (the default state of the ServerPacks) and once you update World's database with the current opcodes, you can copy eq2world.opcodes to eq2ls.opcodes to allow your client through. At least, it should. If SOE bumped their current client version since we last updated opcodes, you'll have to wait til someone validates the new values and provides another opcode update. Usually happens once or twice a month.

I think I am still doing something wrong.

I assumed opcodes where the xml files?
I updated yesterday and it did update, then i copy the xml files from the worldserver folder to the loginserver folder?

Sorry to be so dense.

The XML files are the structs to create the packets.

Opcodes are in the MySQL DB, the world server DB was probably updated so you need to move the opcodes table from the world server DB to the login server DB.

If your not that experienced with mysql stuff go download navicat for mysql, its a gui so it allows you to actually see whats going on.

Once in, make a new connection called EQ2 or something, keep the hostname, port and username the same and you have a connection. Then just double click on your new EQ2 connection and you will see the world and login databases.

Just go into the world database, copy opcodes to your desktop or whatever and then after deleting the opcodes in your login database drag and drop the world opcodes fine in.

Simples!
