Title: EQBC won't start Post by: schmoodawg33 on January 10, 2022, 05:06:23 pm New to the server. Everything is working great except for EQBC. Right click MQ2 icon to start it nothing. Double click icon from MQ2 folder window pops up says "Waiting for connections on port: 2112... Any ideas would be great. Looks like a fun version of the game can't wait to dive in...

Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: schmoodawg33 on January 11, 2022, 04:05:38 am I can get in game with 4 toons... all went well with DL. EQBC just won't start.
Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: Denzig on January 11, 2022, 05:20:14 am Run EQBCServer.exe and Macroquest2.exe as admin
Make sure to give eqbcs firewall permissions when prompted Type /bccmd connect 127.0.0.1 (your local loopback IP address) in the eqbcs window once in game Once connected on main toon, load in others then test it with something like /bcaa //say test If a toon is not responding go to that client and type in /bccmd force Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: schmoodawg33 on January 11, 2022, 09:10:24 am That's just it I never get the prompt to let it through firewall it just sit there saying waiting for connections on 2112

Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: Chieftan on January 11, 2022, 11:22:50 am /echo ${EQBC.Port}
/echo ${EQBC.Server} try both those commands in eqchat, see what's reported in the mq chat window, see if its working Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: wachna on January 11, 2022, 11:24:45 am Did you start ecbc as an admin?
Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: schmoodawg33 on January 11, 2022, 11:26:37 am Both commands yielded a {MQ2} OFFLINE
Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: schmoodawg33 on January 11, 2022, 11:27:50 am Started as admin. Tried right clicking MQ@ icon b4 logging. Tried in game commands as well. All nogo
Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: schmoodawg33 on January 11, 2022, 11:29:26 am Had all this running on a live server once. No idea.
Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: Chieftan on January 11, 2022, 11:29:57 am and you have box saying "waiting for connections on port 2112" ?
if you do, then something is blocking it where do have installed?, dont put in a windows/program files sub folder, Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: schmoodawg33 on January 11, 2022, 11:32:02 am Aye. Hmmm let me move some files around
Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: schmoodawg33 on January 11, 2022, 12:01:07 pm One thing I am noting is 3 diff eqbc server links in firewall exceptions when I go to change permissions.

Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: schmoodawg33 on January 11, 2022, 12:34:46 pm Tank that didnt work
Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: schmoodawg33 on January 11, 2022, 12:39:18 pm Err chieftan that didn't work either
Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: Chieftan on January 11, 2022, 12:56:35 pm all i can suggest is temporally disabling any firewall / antivirus and try, to help pinpoint
as i said earlier, if you have the waiting for connection box up, and the /echo commands report OFFLINE, then something on your system is blocking it all you should need to run is the EQBCServer.exe / Macroquest.exe (as admin) when in game, it should auto connect to 127.0.0.1 (default server address) - that would need to change if running other eq clients from other pc(s) Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: schmoodawg33 on January 15, 2022, 07:04:12 am Thanks Tank. Draca set me straight. eqhost file was incorrect.
Title: Re: EQBC won't start Post by: wachna on January 15, 2022, 08:47:32 am Glad it worked. Welcome to the fun place
