!!! info More installer info found in the installation details
First you will need to download the starter files that will kick off the installation process found here: EQEmu Server Installer Files
.png)
Once you have the files downloaded, you need to make a folder somewhere that you would like your server to reside, the place I chose is C:\eqemu
Extract the files inside eqemu_installer_files_x64.zip to the folder C:\eqemu

Once extracted, right click eqemu_install.bat and Run as Administrator; from this point on the entire install will be automated and run on its own, this is assuming you have an internet connection so the installer can pull down all of the necessary server assets

!!! info Change your server name in eqemu_config.json under shortname and longname
To set your account as a GM account; use the t_set_gm_account.bat helper script to set your loginserver account to be flagged. You will need to ensure you login to character select first in order for your account to be in the database
The windows installer comes pre-configured with a **Local Login Server **
!!! info The server installer is configured to connect to the both the EQEmu Public Login Server and the Local Login Server
You can use both methods of logging into your server
Login Methods
- EQEmu Public Login Server
- Local Login Server (Private LAN Play)
Many server operators choose to keep things simple by only using the public login server
!!! info For information regarding the configuration and operation of a **Local Login Server; **please refer to the documentation in the Login Server Space
!!! info Remember that all EverQuest Clients on the local network will need to have a modified eqhost.txt (Client file) file that points at your Local Login Server
[LoginServer]
Host=192.168.0.1:5999
Be sure to adjust the IP address to the IP address of your login server on your local network.
!!! info
Port 5998 is required when using the Titanium or **Secrets of Faydwer **clients
Port 5999 is required when using the Seeds of Destruction, Underfoot or Rain of Fear client and above
Once you have configured your login server, restart your world server using the helper script; t_start_server_with_login_server and you should be good to go!
!!! info For more Local Login Server configuration options; see Login Server Space
Connect using your game client and you should see the server select screen
By default; the **login.json **used in the installer is set to auto_create_accounts when an account does not exist locally; making it very easy to get up and started. Resetting local login server accounts can be done through the login server command line also referenced in the login server documentation
"account": {
// ideal for local LAN setups, if you want a login attempt to automatically create an account
// this will automatically create the account using the username and password if it doesn't exist
"auto_create_accounts": true
},
