This page details how to Install the Emulator on Linux.

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.

== Ubuntu ==

First you must install MySQL as well as the required dependencies needed from the repositories.

sudo apt-get install mysql-server build-essential subversion

== Download the source ==

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.

mkdir eq2server
cd eq2server
svn co https://eq2emulator.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/eq2emulator eq2emulator

== Compile it ==

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.

cd eq2emulator/Source/World/
make

This should compile the source code and you will be left with a program called World.

== Setting it up ==

Now you have built the program you need to put all the pieces together. Copy the following files into the eq2server folder.

/eq2emulator/Source/World/World
/eq2emulator/Config Files/EQ2_Structs.xml
/eq2emulator/Config Files/LoginServer.ini
/eq2emulator/Config Files/world_db.ini
/eq2emulator/Config Files/World Structs/WorldStructs.xml
/eq2emulator/Config Files/World Structs/charactersheet_struct.txt
/eq2emulator/Config Files/Common Structs/CommonStructs.xml

Once you have done that you will now have to edit a few files. First open LoginServer.ini

worldname=WORLD_NAME_HERE
worldaddress=EXTERNAL_IP_HERE
#internalworldaddress=INTERNAL_IP_HERE (If used, otherwise blank)

* worldname should be the name you registered your server as on eq2emulator.net.
* 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]
* 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.

After that you must then edit world_db.ini which holds your database information.

host=ip address
user=username
password=password
database=eq2

* host refers to your MySQL IP address. If your MySQL database is on the same computer that is running that server then put "localhost" (without quotes)
* user is your MySQL username that you want the login server to connect to your database with
* password is your MySQL password
* database is the name of the database on your MySQL server. You must create this database before you start the server.

Zydria:

== Item Procs ==

* Item Procs have received a general increase in proc rate. As an average the prior mechanic would calculate the number to earn 1.0 procs per minute. The new mechanic raises this value to an average of 1.8 procs per minute. Given the speed of combat within EQ2 this should see more procs per fight on average for anything which had a lower than 9% chance to proc in the previous system.

* Items that proc from Physical Triggers:
** The proc rate for triggers such as successful attack, melee attack, or ranged attack can now be calculated by taking the delay of the weapon and multiplying it by 3.

* Items that proc from Spell Triggers:
** The proc rate for triggers such as hostile spell or beneficial spell can be calculated by taking the cast time of the spell plus the 0.5 second recovery time then multiplying it by 3.

* Items that proc from Combat Arts:
** The proc rate for combat arts works similar to spells. Most combat arts have a cast time of 0.5 seconds and a recovery time of 0.5 seconds and are treated as if you are using a 1 delay weapon. Longer cast combat arts obey the rules in the same manner as spell triggering procs.

* Spells and Poisons: Poisons remain unchanged in the rate at which they proc. Spells which apply a proc to a character also remain unchanged in the new system.

* Reactive Procs: Procs which take effect after a character has taken damage, been killed, cross below a threshold, or other 'reactive' triggers have not changed.

* Haste and Casting Speed Enhancements: The calculation for proc percentage uses the base value not the modified value. In this way the percentage will stay the same for chance to proc per trigger even if casting and attacking faster. It will raise the number of procs seen the higher the haste value.

== Haste and DPS Mods ==

* Haste and DPS are now shown as a modified score instead of a percentage.

* The Haste and DPS mods can be increased to a rating of 200

* Haste and DPS mods also use a diminishing returns curve to determine the amount of attack speed and DPS modification. This is a 125% modification when reaching the 200 point capped value.

* The values for most DPS and Haste spells have been increased slightly.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

I would like to point out that I am not a dev or even a member of the EQ2Emu team. So if I leave anything out here or give incorrect information, I appoligize, but I'm sure that a member of the team will correct it shortly.
<br />
Zydria
<br />
<br />
Q. I logged in but all I can do is run around, and there are no npc's or items or zone points etc...
<br />
A. The Emulator is currently in Open Alpha stage. At this point, most of the game will not work because it has not been coded into the server yet. You will just have to be patient and wait until a more stable and complete version is released.
<br />
<br />
Q. Ok, how long will that take or when will this feature be added.
<br />
A. It will be done when it is done. The emulator development is moving at a remarkable pace and the devs are doing an excellent job, however this does not mean that it will be completed within a week and it will certianly not get done any faster if devs spend all their time answering posts about when a certain feature will be added.
<br />
<br />
Q. Is there anything I can do to help out or to make the project move along any faster?
<br />
A. This is really more a question that the devs should be answering, However, I have seen that they have been asking for help on the forums to find some of the equations used in the game. They also need people to collect packets from the live server. <br />
You can find detailed instructions on how to do this [http://eq2emulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=160 here]

== '''Everquest 2 Emulator: Commands List''' ==

"Commands" are what you would type in your chat window to make something happen, like "/spawn" to spawn an object or NPC, or "/summonitem" to summon an item to your character. All commands begin with a slash "/", some have a sub-command, and most commands will have at least one parameter.

Example:
/spawn add [spawn group id] [spawn group name] (percentage)

This article is will focus mostly on custom in-game commands specifically relating to the functionality of the EQ2Emulator. Type "/help" in the game to see a list of commands you'd find in the Live version of the game.

Below you will find the major command, with a link to it's sub-commands and parameters. Feel free to add to this list as it grows.

----
*[[Commands:Spawn | /Spawn]] - Used to add or modify spawn information for NPCs.

*[[Commands:Zone | /Zone]] - Change zones or get a list of current zones.

*[[Commands:Speed | /Speed]] - Modify character motion speed.

== '''Everquest 2 Emulator: Spawn Commands''' ==

From a post by LethalEncounter regarding the new /spawn commands [http://eq2emulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=360]

Most of you are probably unaware of this, but I made a change to the emu that will be in version 0.5 affecting commands. Instead of using a underscore to differentiate between separate commands, I implemented John Adams idea of allowing commands to have subcommands like '/spawn add' (add being the subcommand). This makes commands easier to use, but more importantly it gives us the advantage of being able to specify minimum status requirements for each subcommand. If adding your own subcommands remember that all subcommands must have a parent command.

Anyways getting back to the point of this post. Below are a list of the spawn commands that I am implementing in accordance with #3 on my priority list. If you see one that I missed or you feel should be added/changed, let me know ASAP before I am finished with them.

Legend: parameters enclosed in [ ] are mandatory, those enclosed in ( ) are optional

=== Spawn Add ===
/spawn add [spawn group id] [spawn group name] (percentage)

Saves the Targeted spawn to DB using the given spawn group id. You can specify [i]new[/i] for [spawn group id] to generate a new spawn group id for this spawn. Put quotes around [spawn group name] if it is more than one word. Percentage defaults to 100 if not given

=== Spawn Create ===
/spawn create [spawn type] [race type] [class type] [level] [name] (difficulty) (size)

Unlike the original /spawn command which required an NPC or Object ID, this creates a new spawn that can be added to your database. Valid types are Object or NPC

=== Spawn Details ===
/spawn details

This will list details about the targeted spawn

=== Spawn Equipment ===
/spawn equipment [slot] [appearance id] (red) (green) (blue) (highlight red) (highlight green) (highlight blue)

Set the visual textures for a NPC. Slot is 0 to 24

=== Spawn List ===
/spawn list [spawn type] [name]

Name can be a partial portion of the NPC/Object's name.

=== Spawn Set ===
/spawn set [option] [value]

Sets the option to the selected value for the Targeted spawn. Spawn must be targeted for this to work. Options for this command havent been finalized yet but will include things like name, level, class, race, size, etc. Just about any option that I can think of that affects the display of the mob I will include.

=== Spawn Remove ===
/spawn remove

Removes the Targeted spawn from the zone. Note that this does not delete them from the NPC or Object tables.

=== Spawn Target ===
/spawn target [spawn type] [id]

This will set the given spawn as targetable. Used to change a spawn if it was set to untargetable.

=== Spawn ===
/spawn [spawn type] [id] (x) (y) (z) (heading) (location)

I modified the spawn command to get rid of the parameters that were obsolete when the /spawn create command was added.

----

The commands that modify the spawn's information immediately save the new information to the database if the given spawn was previously added to the database.

I didn't feel a need to add a /spawn delete command because once spawns are in the NPC or Object table they don't table up much space and if you use the /spawn remove command to get rid of all of them in your zones they won't be loaded. By not deleting them from your NPC or Objects table you can always re-add them to your zone. Note that names with spaces in them can be set by enclosing the name in quotes (" or '). If you don't, the parser will think the rest of the name is a separate parameter.

Zydria:

This page details how to Install the Emulator on Linux.

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.

== Ubuntu ==

First you must install MySQL as well as the required dependencies needed from the repositories.

sudo apt-get install mysql-server build-essential subversion

== Download the source ==

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.

mkdir eq2server
cd eq2server
svn co https://eq2emulator.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/eq2emulator eq2emulator

== Compile it ==

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.

cd eq2emulator/Source/World/
make

This should compile the source code and you will be left with a program called World.

== Setting it up ==

Now you have built the program you need to put all the pieces together. Copy the following files into the eq2server folder.

/eq2emulator/Source/World/World
/eq2emulator/Config Files/EQ2_Structs.xml
/eq2emulator/Config Files/LoginServer.ini
/eq2emulator/Config Files/world_db.ini
/eq2emulator/Config Files/World Structs/WorldStructs.xml
/eq2emulator/Config Files/World Structs/charactersheet_struct.txt
/eq2emulator/Config Files/Common Structs/CommonStructs.xml

Once you have done that you will now have to edit a few files. First open LoginServer.ini

worldname=WORLD_NAME_HERE
worldaddress=EXTERNAL_IP_HERE
#internalworldaddress=INTERNAL_IP_HERE (If used, otherwise blank)

* worldname should be the name you registered your server as on eq2emulator.net.
* 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]
* 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.

After that you must then edit world_db.ini which holds your database information.

host=ip address
user=username
password=password
database=eq2

* host refers to your MySQL IP address. If your MySQL database is on the same computer that is running that server then put "localhost" (without quotes)
* user is your MySQL username that you want the login server to connect to your database with
* password is your MySQL password
* database is the name of the database on your MySQL server. You must create this database before you start the server.

Players:How To Connect

2008-01-28T01:00:20Z

Zydria:

== What to expect ==

As of now you can only login to a server and run around with other people. Although combat has been implemented with some other features the server emulator hasn't gotten to a point where your experience will be similar to Sony's live servers.

== Getting a copy of Everquest 2 ==

To play on the emulator you must first have a legal copy of ''Everquest 2: Rise of Kunark'' or a patched version that will work on the emulator. Asking on the forums on how to illegally get Everquest 2 is frowned upon, you will not recieve an answer and you may possibly be banned, so please do not ask this question.

== Client versions that work ==

The client version number is displayed in the window title of the game when in windowed mode. The following is a list of clients that are known to work on the emulator.

* 4427L
* 4521L
* 4530L
* 4554L
* 4617L
* 4628L

== Connecting to a server ==

It is advised that you backup your Everquest 2 directory so that you can play both on Sony's Live servers while testing the server emulator out.

To connect to an emulator server you must first edit your eq_default.ini file.

Find the line similar to
cl_ls_address 199.108.12.33 199.108.........
and change it to
cl_ls_address www.eq2emulator.net

That's it.

Now run the Everquest2.exe to login to the server. There should not be any patching screen, you should be taken directly into the game login. If your game shows up with the sony patcher then it may be because you have clicked a shortcut link to the patcher instead of clicking on the Everquest2.exe program.
