<p>Intodesi: /* Setting it up */</p> <hr /> <div>__NOTOC__<br /> This page details how to Install the Emulator on Linux.<br /> <br /> <br /> In this tutorial we are going to download the latest version of the source code from the repository, compile it and then start a server.<br /> <br /> == Ubuntu ==<br /> <br /> First you must install MySQL as well as the required dependencies needed from the repositories.<br /> <br /> sudo apt-get install mysql-server libmysqlclient15-dev build-essential subversion<br /> <br /> == Download the source ==<br /> <br /> To compile and run the server you must install download the source code. For this example we are going to run our server in a folder called eq2server and download the code into a folder called eq2emulator.<br /> <br /> mkdir eq2server<br /> cd eq2server<br /> svn co https://eq2emulator.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/eq2emulator eq2emulator<br /> <br /> Before downloading the svn, Ubuntu will give you the following.<br /> <br /> Error validating server certificate for 'https://eq2emulator.svn.sourceforge.net:443':<br /> - The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the<br /> fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!<br /> Certificate information:<br /> - Hostname: *.svn.sourceforge.net<br /> - Valid: from Tue, 09 Oct 2007 14:15:07 GMT until Mon, 08 Dec 2008 15:15:07 GMT<br /> - Issuer: Equifax Secure Certificate Authority, Equifax, US<br /> - Fingerprint: fb:75:6c:40:58:ae:21:8c:63:dd:1b:7b:6a:7d:bb:8c:74:36:e7:8a<br /> (R)eject, accept (t)emporarily or accept (p)ermanently? <br /> <br /> Type P and enter, it will then download the SVN<br /> <br /> == Compile it ==<br /> <br /> Now we have downloaded the source we need to compile it. If you are compiling the source on a 64 bit OS then you will need to change the makefile located in the Source/World folder.<br /> <br /> cd eq2emulator/Source/World/<br /> make<br /> <br /> This should compile the source code and you will be left with a program called World.<br /> <br /> == Setting it up ==<br /> <br /> Now you have built the program you need to put all the pieces together. Copy the following files into the eq2server folder.<br /> <br /> /eq2emulator/Source/World/eq2world<br /> /eq2emulator/Config Files/EQ2_Structs.xml<br /> /eq2emulator/Config Files/LoginServer.ini<br /> /eq2emulator/Config Files/world_db.ini<br /> /eq2emulator/Config Files/World Structs/WorldStructs.xml<br /> /eq2emulator/Config Files/World Structs/charactersheet_struct.txt<br /> /eq2emulator/Config Files/Common Structs/CommonStructs.xml<br /> <br /> Once you have done that you will now have to edit a few files. First open LoginServer.ini<br /> <br /> worldname=WORLD_NAME_HERE<br /> worldaddress=EXTERNAL_IP_HERE<br /> #internalworldaddress=INTERNAL_IP_HERE (If used, otherwise blank)<br /> <br /> * worldname should be the name you registered your server as on eq2emulator.net. <br /> * worldaddress should be your IP address as seen by other people. If you do not know your IP address you can get it from [http://www.whatismyip.com/ whatismyip.com]<br /> * internalworldaddress is your internal IP address in cases where you are behind a router you may have a different IP address as seen from the outside.<br /> <br /> After that you must then edit world_db.ini which holds your database information.<br /> <br /> host=ip address<br /> user=username<br /> password=password<br /> database=eq2<br /> <br /> * host refers to your MySQL IP address. If your MySQL database is on the same computer that is running that server then put &quot;localhost&quot; (without quotes)<br /> * user is your MySQL username that you want the login server to connect to your database with<br /> * password is your MySQL password<br /> * database is the name of the database on your MySQL server. You must create this database before you start the server.<br /> <br /> ==== Guide Written By: Andrew ====</div>
