Connecting to server, please wait...

[Apokalypse]

after trying to sort my server out (believe me it took a while) i finnaly got everything sorted, i log in and create a char but when i try to log into the game itself it comes up with the "connecting to server please wait" message.

but it doesnt seem to get past there, now i havent got the most up to date pc but its enough to run the server so does anyone know whats going on?


p.s. all server components load fine

:bump:

okay a bit more detail, i think i have isolated where the problem is.

when eiserver.exe runs it comes up with an error message saying :
"map file cannot be loaded, code=- 1"

it then asks if i would like to leave the server, i click yes and ti shuts down, i click no and it keeps coming up with the line :
"not ready (ip here)"

now if i click initialiaze it says :
"loading client version information..
Ok."

and then the not ready message keeps appearing

===============================================
Ready to load ini file.
!setup.txt loaded..
Connected to common database.
loading StdItem.DB...
StdItem.DB loaded.
loading MiniMap.txt...
MiniMap information loaded.
loading MapFiles...
Read Emergency Map : [0] 459,261
Not ready (ip here)
===============================================

thats where i think the problem is, thats a fair bit more detail so hopefully someone can help me out now.

look at the path to your map files best you copy yor maps to your server folder and do the change to the setup files for the path

BaseDir=C:\Mud3\Mir300\Share\
GuildDir=C:\Mud3\Mir300\GuildBase\Guilds\
GuildFile=C:\Mud3\Mir300\GuildBase\Guildlist.txt

MapDir=C:\mud3\mir300\map\<---- this bit

i copied the maps over from the client into the server folder, the !setup.txt line that asks for map directory is pointing at this copied folder. is te !setup.txt file in mir300 the only one which asks for the map directory?

 

[iamdeath]

and put this in the DB server options

c:\mud3\mir300\envir "map path"

[iamdeath]

im only keeping it local not sure how to change ip etc to allow it to be open to other ppl, but that error message seems to have gone.

how long does it take to load map files? its taking ages :S

==edit==

it all seems to have loaded now, wish me luck

 

[iamdeath]

good luck you use the net IP in all files to go on line or if got a router i can set it up for you so you can use 1 comp for the server and 1 comp to play no lag for you or the players
