==What is it?==

The LoginServer.ini file contains valuable information that is used by the world server to communicate with the Login server. All the basic fields in the file should be completed respectively to allow stability and compatibility with every client.

=== Syntax ===
All comments are prefixed with the # character. For example
#READ Readme.txt
is a comment and would be totally disregarded by the world server, only visible to those actually viewing the file in Unicode format.

Everything between [ ] are considered to be sections within the file. These sections are usually predefined and cannot be altered to allow any other kind of functionality. For example
[LoginServer]
is the section used to hold the data that has to do with the login server (IP, Port, World Name, etc...)

The basic way of editing this file is by replacing all the values after the = (equals) character. The structure is like this:
variable_name = variable_value

Okay, let's understand what all these variables mean!

== Understanding the variables ==

[LoginServer] -
The login server category as mentioned above
loginserver -
The DNS address or IP address of the login server. This is used to tell the world server what login server to connect to.
worldname -
The name of the world server, that is to be shown after the character creation screen (Not yet fully implemented)
worldaddress -
The external IP address of the world server you are hosting (www.whatismyip.com)
internalworldaddress -
The internal IP address of the world server you are hosting, mainly used for LAN functionality (192.168.x.x)
worldport -
The port that the world server is going to be listening on. Make sure this port is properly forwarded on your firewall or router (www.portforward.com)
locked -
Used to decide whether the world server is locked to normal clients. When it is locked, maintenance is usually performed on the server. (Only admins are allowed entry)
account -
The account used to connect to the login server with your world server. (Register an account at http://eq2emulator.net/accountregistration.php , the second choice for WORLD servers)
password -
The password you registered above with
autotableupdates -
Determines whether to retrieve the latest updates and update your tables in your database
autoupdateverbose -
Determines whether to show a lot of debug information while updating the MySQL tables
autotabledata -
Determines whether to get the latest table updates such as the OP_Code tables (Very important)
[WorldServer] -
The world server category used to understand all data the world server uses
DefaultStatus -
The default status of the zones
Unavailzone -
The zone to show when the world server is unavailable
[UpdateServer] -
The category used to direct all the server/table updates
updateserveraddress -
The IP address or DNS name of the update server
updateserverport
The port the update server listens on (must be 9101)
[LoginConfig] -
The category used to understand all the login configuration data
ServerMode -
The mode the server works with. It is usually StandAlone as a login server will always be provided for you
ServerPort -
The port with which to connect to the login server with.

== Allowed Values ==
loginserver = ANY IP ADDRESS OR DNS NAME
loginport = ANY numerical port 0-65000
worldname = ANY ASCII-Unicode compatible name
worldaddress = ANY IP-compatible address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
internalworldaddress = ANY Internal IP-compatible address (192.168.xxx.xxx)
worldport = ANY numerical port 0-65000
locked = true or false
account = ANY characters
password = ANY characters
autotableupdates = always, ask or never
autotableverbose = true or false
autotabledata = true or false
DefaultStatus = ?
Unavailzone = ANY zone name from your SQL zones table
updateserveraddress = eq2emulator.net
updateserverport = 9101
ServerMode = StandAlone or MiniLogin (Not yet Implemented)
ServerPort = ANY numerical port 0-65000
