EZ Server

Server is down.

I moved upstate and I will not be placing the server back online due to bandwidth limitations.


-Hate

 ;D That's awesome Hate! keep rocking I'm diggin all the support you're helping to drive

Added a crap ton of files from here to the file server. Feel free to pass out link to anyone that asks. I am running 50MB/s, so I've got bandwidth to spare.

Does anyone know of or have the link to that GoogleDocs file containing ALL relevant info from PoT up to T4?

-Hate

Here is a shortcut I made to that sheet. www.tinyurl.com/ezhelp

Hate, I have the link to the googledocs spreadsheet. Looking over it, there appears to be some problems with the augments page. Not 100% sure how the googledocs works, so I'm not gonna mess with it. But here is your link.

Excellent, thank you. I will update the file and post to file server tomorrow.

-Hate

UPDATE!

TeamSpeak3 is now running. See first post for details.

-Hate

Sweet. Have been wanting to get a t.s. going

Hehe forgot to add startup script to rc.local on server. Will do that as soon as I get to work.

Should also mention that the server restarts every day at 3am EST.


-Hate

Good to know

Friend, it's rather straightforward if you are using Windows.

Right click, 7zip, Extract to..., and then wherever you want it extracted. Password (if exists) will be 'ezserver' (no quotes).

-Hate

Ok, dont know If you have figured it out, or not but i was able to Duplicate your "Error"

what you want to do is rt click the file, select 7zip, select open file (with the arrow to the right) and then select the astirisc ( * )


That should fix the Error as 7zip wasnt sure what the file type was and if you select any of the types for it, it would lock up.

I duplicated the error on a machine running vista, but didnt have the problem on my machine running XP or Win7. Not sure what you were running but, that should resolve it.. Good luck

Will be keeping clean spellfile in ezserver -> fixes

Clean spellfiles contain no particle effects, no cast messages, no receiving cast messages. May help cut down on some of the spammy garbage in game.

Take Care

-Hate

HA! Neat-o idea!

Any chance of a sticky for this (or posting the TS3 info as a news entry)?

The server is up 23h 55min a day. Allowing 5min for daily 3am EST restart.

-Hate

Just wanted to say I tried out the clean spellfile today and it made a huge difference for me in battle lag.  Thank you SO MUCH for making it!

Glad to hear it. I will try to keep cleaned spell files up within a day or so of a new one being posted.

-Hate

Yeah!

Hate, with your cleaned spell file I'm seeing particle effects on the spells now where as with the normal ez server one I don't, is there anything in your cleaned spell file that would turn those back on?

I was using the one posted all day and have had no issue. Did you just download or did you get one from a few days ago?

This spell file does not remove the particle effects. The last time I tried that, it FORCED all effects into view (even with particle effects turned off).


-Hate

Bump good server!! Use it!

Just Wanted to drop a line an say thanks a ton to Hate for hosting an awesome server. Been playing with a titanium client on the server for a few weeks now and unable to get y hands on a newer client to make he most of the custom content. Grabbed UF client last night, incredible speed.

Big props Hate, thanks much.

Edited: misspelling, blame typing on phone.

050612 Cleaned spell file up. ( http://hateborne.dyndns.org/ezserver/fixes/CLEAN_spells_us.zip )

For more files and goodness, http://hateborne.dyndns.org

-Hate

Woohoo  ;D

Thanks for the Frozenshadow fix!! Time to check the zone out on another server to see what its like... been way too long since I've been there

edit....


Zone looks fun... also looks like it will take some time getting to know this confusing zone

Thanks again for the updated clean spells!

Server is back up. The hiccup today was system failing to correctly boot some of the networking components (specifically iptables infinite looping). Go figure.

-Hate

I downloaded teamspeak for iphone and it seems to be working great. I don't have a headset any more, so this is an awesome alternative.

Good, glad to hear it :-D

-Hate

this  helped me out, was bout to send e-mail but it worked  8)

Cool. Walked someone my son knew online through the same problem last week. not sure why some peoples machine/install of 7zip have problems with the file association but  ??? and they were running XP.

You can turn off the file associations, if memory serves. If a program is installed before, say winRAR, and then 7zip after (without the file associations)...bad stuff happens. Essentially, file associations take the latest settings. Since there can only be one...setting per file type, any new setting will destroy the old one.

-Hate

Hate... in refrence to the UF client files... those the exact same that were posted back around February? can't rember by whom, but did you fine tune them a bit or just mirrored?

Devilbane.

Yes, they are from his post.

-Hate

So I unzipped the first file. ezuf.7z.001 and it just turns into a 5gig file called ezuf.7z Which then refuses to be extracted or opened or DO anything.

So... what the hell did I do wrong? no way is the underfoot client like 50gigs. So am i doing something horribly wrong or what? the only way i could extract the ORIGINAL file was to do the whole right click, open archive, then choose the * option. The second file doesn't even have that option. I am at a loss... I'm just going to start torrenting the damn thing atm in case I dont get a reply. Was hoping to just get up this morning unzip everything then play me some everquest... sigh

Well fuck... the torrented copy just keeps giving me this error

The procedure entry point ??0nsGetINterface@@QAE@PAVnsISupports@@PAI@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library xul.dll

So neither of these are working for me. FML...

Edit: Ok so I think my 001 file somehow got corrupted seeing as it was only a few KB large. I am re-downloading it currently to see if it unzips properly afterwards. fingers crossed!

I remember seeing that error before when I first installed the UF client (actually, it was the HoT client). I forget what fixed it. Try doing some google-fu on that xul.dll. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the ingame web browser in the EQ client.

put in all in 1 .rar file here http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7010148/EZUF.rar (http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7010148/EZUF.rar)
I'm always seeding it.

Oh, and missing files already in it

Guess I'll just be downloading it from you then fliker. I unzipped everything but the unzip process had over 5000 errors because of "Wrong password" even though I put ezserver as the password.

Now when i try to launch the game it says error in the XML, and EVERY SINGLE text file in the whole folder is just straight up blank. sooo... not sure what happened there.

Edit: Turns out, no you are NOT always seeding.... Also after testing the unzip with no password, every single file comes out as 0kb. so it literally unzips nothing but filenames. So i tried again with the ezserver password.

TURNS OUT half the fucking files have a different password.... which is pretty AWESOME... so hate what are the passwords?

....I'm done with shit for now. Everything is right there, stupid fast internet hosting, and it's all there. The password is the same across all files, ~50 people have downloaded the full client without issue. If you can't download all the files and extract using WinRAR or 7zip...I can no longer help you.

I've got too much to do for the next several days. Since it's clearly an issue, client files are off server for a while.

-Hate

I downloaded all 14 files. Right clicked the 001 file >7zip>extract here Put in the password ezserver.

It starts doing its thing, gets about 30 files in then gives me over 5000 errors that all say "Wrong password?" behind them.

Edit: Well guess I'll find a different download mirror... Thanks for the help?

Well after attempting pretty much every underfoot torrent I think is out there, none of them are working.

One of them gives me that error I previously mentioned with the xul.dll The other fucks up on 2 specific files chambersa.qrg and oldbloodfields.qrg Not sure what thats all about. The rest were either corrupted torrents or weren't even Everquest files (viruses im betting)

So im moving on to attempt a SoD client, pretty sure thats my only other option left with hate taking down the client files so here's hoping this works! /crossesfingers

Guess I'll just upgrade to UF later, or wait for the EQEMU team to finish their plans to make the live client viable now that its free to download. Will edit with results either way.

EDIT: OH MY GOD I HAD A SOD COPY SITTING ON MY EXTERNAL HARDDRIVE. HURGGGGGGGG SO MAD RIGHT NOW. It still not UF, but FUCK i could have saved myself a lot of goddamn time if i'd have just plugged the damn thing in and checked it first. FUCK.

Did you try just downloading a replacement xul.dll from somewhere? I know the problem is fixable, I just don't remember how I did it.

Yeah I tried that griz, turns out the UF i installed didnt even have the dll to begin with. it still didnt fix it though. so not sure what was going on. its ok though, i got at least a SoD client working so i can play. Made a necro, huzzah.

Sounds like a serious case of pebcak Terrial.

Oh totally, its totally that and not a random computer error at all. because computer errors dont exist right? Like the first time I downloaded the files off hates site they TOTALLY werent corrupted and 1/100th of the size they were SUPPOSED to be.

Right? Yeah shit like that never ever ever happens when it comes to computers. for sure. That and the whole issue where i had exactly zero problem installing both a titanium and a SoD install. Right. yup must be pebcak. You also must be a huge cunt. just saying.

I see. So when you have nothing relevant or intelligent to say, hurl insults. How 12 of you.

Decades working IT have shown me that when you have hundreds of users who use a system without issue, and one that DOES have an issue, the vast majority of the time its pebcak. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings. Wait. On second thought, no, I'm not. I can see now why one of the most patient and helpful people I've met on EZ is so completely fed up with you.

Edit: Had a big writeup here, but i've decided im not going to respond to your trolling mpano. good day.

Doubt you find Hate in game, he's a once in a blue moon type of player lately. Popped up and crushed t2 for a couple hours with me, then went back to coding and stuff lol.

Best bet is this: If UF won't work for you, use SoD. You don't lose out on any current content, just a few UI differences and slightly less lag when boxing from what I've heard. All the spells work, gear works, zones work, without UF.

Yeah thats what I ended up doing sebastian. Like I said, there is a very large chance the rest of the files i had were also somehow corrupted seeing as the first keyfile that started the rest unzipping originally only downloaded like 300kb. So I only re-downloaded that specific file thinking it was the only one with a problem.

Thing is the rest were probably all fuckered too, and that led to my who "Wrong password?" debacle. It was only like half the files too. Which caused the game to be unable to load because all of the Load files were literally just empty husks sitting at 0kb. I'm sure if I would have had time to just re-download them, It would have worked just fine.

Still not sure why I got jumped on, my request was a very typical "Well this isnt working and im getting annoyed" post, and I got met with some pretty irrational hostility. Oh well though, I got the game working regardless so no hard feelings. But seriously, what gives?

Edit: Oh that reminds me, Griz, fliker, and sebastian thanks for the helpful replies. :) (just read the readme file on hates filesite, Apparently I specifically am the reason It got taken down. So sorry to everyone in the future who cant download it. Dont know what to tell you. O.o)

Yeah. I'm a troll. I give you one piece of advice, that being "the issue is on your end" (pebcak) and I get called a cunt. And I'm the troll. And sorry, all I saw in your posts was incessant whining, so much that it prompted one of the most helpful people on this server to pretty much tell you, "I've had enough of your shit".

See, this is why a lot of older players have left. Summertime comes and we tend to get an influx of demanding, rude little entitlement kids. It gets to the point that spending even a few minutes keeping up to date on the boards makes you want to gouge out your eyes with a rusty spork.

No, you didnt give me a piece of advice, you basically just called me an idiot.

A piece of advice would have been something along the lines of "Oh well all the files have the same password so chances are if some of the files are not accepting your password they very wall may be corrupted" Ooooor you know "Hey can you give me a little more information about (insert thing here) I cant properly diagnose your issue"

anything really other than saying "Oh well it might just be you're an idiot" sure I may have been having a derptard moment, I'll be the first to admit that. But is pointing that out really helpful in ANY way? I'm sorry but if thats not trolling, well damn...

So yes, I lashed out at you and called you a cunt, Which I regret, and apologize for. But that tends to be my natural reaction when someone dismisses my problem and just assumes its "Because you're stupid" as it rightfully should be. I see no reason why I should be treated like shit just because something that worked fine for everyone else did NOT work for me. If anything I was expecting a reply along the lines of "Oh well thats weird, have you tried *insert solution here*" Instead I got... well I got what I got. I'm sure hate had his reasons. I'm not going to fault him for that or even try to understand why he did what he did, I'm sure it was justified.

But seriously, how is calling me an idiot and not offering any other useful information not trolling. Please tell me. I never came in to this post with the intentions of pissing everyone off, but apparently thats what happened, also I am apparently REALLY good at it. My apologies once again.

Nope. Saying "pebcak" isnt calling you an idiot. Sorry you took it to mean such. It means, quite simply, the issue is user related; its caused by something you're doing on your end, not a fault with the files or the system. If you think thats me calling you an idiot, then you have issues.

If I call you an idiot it will be something along the lines of "I've got 12 year old underwear smarter than you". I dont beat around the bush.

What he's saying is simply there's something you haven't tried yet, something small that you might not even notice (something like telling a file to open in administrator mode etc,) because the files have worked for plenty of other people before you.

Right, but the whole point is that isn't helpful in the least. Of course it was probably something I was doing. But a suggestion as to what that might be, or a request for more information to properly assess what my dumb ass was doing, or ANYTHING really would have been more helpful than "You're probably doing something wrong"

Of course I was, if I wasn't it would have been working. Heh... That's the whole reason I came here and asked for help, because I couldn't figure it out. /shrug

And still mpano, with all the hostility, why? Is it really needed? (If you think that's me calling you an idiot , then you have issues) There is no need for that. Usually when I use pebcak used is synonymous with "Idiot" or "Computer illiterate" at least that's what my IT buddy uses it as hehe. So you can understand my confusion. Something more specific and useful probably would have been a better bet.

But oh well, this is all just semantics by this point, I got a SoD install working and it doesn't matter anymore. If I need to upgrade to UF in the future god help us all, but in the meantime I've got everything working so no worries.

Still wish hate would bring his server files back up, the only people suffering are new players and people wanting to upgrade to UF  :-X

No hostility from me til you decided to hurl insults. After that, I dug a little and discovered that more than a few people (Hate included) tried to help you only to step into a crapfest. So I am gonna go with the conclusion that you're a waste of time and effort and go along my merry way. Luck to you.

Hate didnt try to help me. His first reply was when he brought the files down. The other people who tried to help, I attempted their fixes, nothing was working.

Which thread are you reading O.o

Edit: Although he did modify his post so maybe the original post was different. I only ended up reading the modified copy so I'm not sure what you might be talking about.

edit2: Im not sure what you mean by crapfest, I never once insulted anyone but you AFTER I had received what I thought was an insult from you. You are literally the only one I spoke ill of, or was rude to in any way. Needless to say thats why i'm seriously confused with hates reply. Your reply confused me as well. I asked for help and instead turned into EZserver public enemy #1. Seriously what did I do.

P.S: I realize now one of my previous posts that I modified because it was just a huge rant at mpano had my thank you's in it. I would sincerely like to thank griz, fliker, and sebastian for trying to help out. I really appreciate it guys.

Please See: http://ezserver.online/forums/index.php?topic=2781.msg38696#msg38696

The files are back up for now. Keep in mind these are hosted on a machine I bought specifically for this purpose and hosted through my bandwidth. If you are going to not read the README or try Google, at least ATTEMPT to be somewhat polite instead of dumping. A sense of entitlement will only get you ignored.

I have not been online in a bit because the place that I am at in EZ requires a few hours in a sitting to progress. I don't always have a few hours to go grind out T5. Plus, T5 is only beneficial in near full clears at the stages I am at. Don't worry, I've not left of abandoned EZ.

The last caster revision (until Hunter or I finds another neat idea) is coming soon. I am aware that caster dps is still in the floor, but at least the tools exist. Now I just have to sharpen/hone the tools (and no melees, your time investment will still leave you slightly ahead).

-Hate

Hate, I downloaded your files, and thanks for the hosting. 

I ran the optionseditor and all zones work except for the custom zones.  I downloaded and extracted the server files from the ezserver website and put them in your install and it still Crashes to Desktop on load.

Any idea what I can try differently?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Shawo

mm It seems to be Plane of Dragons only.

Nvm I got it thanks for the help ooc :)

Hate my good man, your server seems to be on da Fritz. Could you check it. Thanks

I brought server down for a bit. Need to adjust a few things and have not had time. The bulk of those using Underfoot got it from my server. Surely some else could share for a bit. :-)

-Hate

http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7010148/EZUF.rar (http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7010148/EZUF.rar)

still seeding

Does anyone have a seed of the particular files that are missing?  Or at least know what the files are that are missing that I can grab from my live client?

--Edit

Though I'm downing Fliker's torrent anyways. :P

The way I updated my build was to just copy/paste the entire live build over Underfoot and when asked to replace files say no, then copy and replace the dbstr_us.txt file.  I did this a while ago, but I don't expect there's anything in a more recent live build that would cause a problem.  Just keep a backup of the bare Underfoot in just in case.

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=UFMissingFilesList

Thanks.  I'll try that tomorrow, I've clocked for the night. :P

Missing files already added in EZUF.rar

Yeah, but I wasn't sure how fast I could download yours.  As it turns out, copying from the live client worked.  But I also finished the EZUF download overnight, because we're apparently on the same ISP.

Ah you must be the one from stl. Im 15 miles away

For those of us low on space and without room for the entire torrent (though it is much appreciated!), does there exist an upload of just the missing UF files?

http://tinyurl.com/eqfiles (http://tinyurl.com/eqfiles)

In another ~10 minutes I will be seeding it as well.  I tried to get 7zip to work and most likely due to my own incompetency I couldn't get it to unzip. 

Thanks for the upload. 

Hello guys.need some help for EZUF.I just downloaded the ZEUF client.But I dont know how to start it?.Do i  need to change the file like eqgame.exe patchme ?and also i tried change it. but this file eqgame can not change it.How sohuld i do plZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Thank you!

make shortcut from eqgame.exe then patchme in properties

WOW finaly start my UF now .Thank you Fliker!

All of the links are down.  Any chance that someone could link me to someplace with dbstr_us.txt or upload it somewhere?  My UF seems to be working fine except all of the AAs are missing information (Yes I did download/install the current EZ specific files  from over there <---)

Thanks!

dbstr_us.txt for UF (http://wikisend.com/download/514762/dbstr_us.txt)

Blurring, you are fracking awesome!  AAs are working fine now.  Let me know if you ever need some generic non-uber chanter buffs rofl.  Thanks!

Sorry to piss on the parade, but my file server is being repurposed Saturday October 6th at roughly 12pm EST.

If you need Underfoot or any of the files on there, GET THEM NOW. I will be backing up personal things (such as the master list) and will be posting on public sites the batch fixes (such as the underfoot missing file .zip file). The client will NOT be reposted anywhere else by me.

IF YOU WANT UNDERFOOT, GET IT NOW!

http://hateborne.dyndns.org/ezserver/clients/


-Hate

Thanks for bringing it back up one last time hate.

Hate, I have just made a mirror copy of all the files on that site, do you mind if I setup a file repo to everyone mirroring what you had there?  Would love to be able to contribute a bit back to everyone who has done so much for me in game, and to make this such a wonderful server!

Please do. I have to repurpose this machine for other, more nefarious purposes (I told you this day was coming, all gnomes shall fall).

I did not salvage the client from the machine (as I am running low on space on my gaming machine). Everything was salvaged. Let me know if I can assist.

Preferably through email, hateborne@gmail.com

-Hate

Thanks, I just wanted to clear it thru you before I done anything.  I will try to pretty much mirror what you had, just need to get a host setup for it.  Will try to work on that at tomorrow probably.  You defiantly have a good collection of files here, and hated to see it lost.  I shall post back once something is restored.

OneZero

Bumping, see first post.

http://tinyurl.com/ezteamspeak


-Hate

Re-post da info for TS when it's back up ;D

TeamSpeak should be using hostname: hateborne.com (and whatever the default port for teamspeak is).

I fixed most of my upload script and broke the piss out of the PHP Directory Lister.

If anyone can offer useful insight or suggest a clean (but puuuurty) looking Directory Listing (PHP, Javascript, or Perl) I'll pay 500kpp.

-Hate

I've never personally used this but I hear its pretty easy to use.

http://pdirl.newroots.de/

Ironically enough, I was working on this very one. Thanks for the heads up. The site is now mostly working again. I'm putting some finishing touches on it now, and then tweaking TeamSpeak. I should be online ~10pm EST and I owe you 500kp :-)


-Hate

Sorry, that called coincidence not irony. That's a pet peeve of mine :)

No need for the monies. Your services to this community is payment enough.

The file server is pretty much complete. The uploader works, the files are back in place, the master list is in place too.

For those new to it, the file server is a central spot for players to upload a variety of fixes/addons/etc for each other. It has a 100MB limit per file upload, one file at a time.

The server is also hosting a teamspeak (that I'm still working on getting fully organized).

The master list (/ezserver/fixes/m_list.txt) is a listing of all changes that I submit to Hunter. This exists to aid myself and Hunter in tracking changes, keeping a running log in case something needs to be undone, and giving a transparent view to players on what exactly is being changed. This list is not updated by Hunter, nor does he report his own adjustments. These are simply listing changes that I have submitted that have been pushed through. Even though most may not understand SQL, I have placed a comment out to the side to explain what each one does.

-Hate

Random bump and note:

The TeamSpeak will finally be getting cleaned up this week and looking decent. It's pretty much open to all, but if anyone gets ridiculous on it (spamming/yelling/etc) let me know please.


-Hate

cant find Team speak info anywhere hate - gawsh


Tankz~

you know your TOFS file is corrupt?

LOL pasted over it. I'll fix tonight.



Will also fix tonight.


-Hate

Go Hate! Go go go!

New ToFS file in place, cleaner version of UF client in place, and TeamSpeak info added to original post.


-Hate
