EZ Server

Need UF my client went for a crap, cant get it working!!

I still have the ezuf files but cant get 7zip to open them,..../cry

cant get the torrent noted in the filepack for Tweaks and settings to download either no seeders... /cry

I have the full game files, but it isn't "installed" any Idea how to make that work?

Doesn't need to be "installed". Just keep it out of the Program Files Folder since Windows 7 security likes to complain about stuff.

So just place it here:

C:\Everquest\

and you should be fine.

Don't forget the shortcut with patchme at the end of the command line. See online guides for more details.

oh yeah, and have to edit that eqhost.txt file, or whatever name it is, forgot.

Eqemu website has a player guide how to set up.

/\ ya what he said /\
if for some reason you need to re-download i'll turn the planter on for ya =D

was getting a xul.dll error. pulled file from laptop and fixed that. now when i start it says please run everquest.exe trying to get all the missing uf files now, good god what a pain

i cant get it to stop saying start everquest.exe

there is no everquest exe...

Well, it sounds like you didn't follow the guide correctly and add "patchme" to the end of the eqgame.exe shortcut.  That said, all my Underfoot clients have an Everquest.exe in them, so if you don't have that then you may have lost something along the way, especially if you did something that made the game patch itself.

yup thought i did that but missed it. Now i have xml file errors. get to server select and once past there it just quits. Trying to get client off laptop to overwrite one I have on this comp. wish me luck

Soon as I hit play everquest from server select screen EQ poofs.
Client works on laptop but for whatever reason poofs here. Any suggestions?

Try updating dirrectX? Had xml errors once and that fixed it.
do you have different os on your pc's?

I also heard updating DirectX should fix that too.

For an easy way to get all the Directx files, do a google search for Direct x Web setup. The first result should be a microsoft page with the correct file. If you open that, your computer will get all the DirectX 9 files it is missing. Even if you have a new computer with vista/7/8 you should do this since those usually don't have the files for DirectX9.

Moved all my xml files from my laptop. Stopped the errors but EQ just stops after server screen. No error nothing program just vanishes.

Just a long shot but do we need to open a port on the router?

I remember going to black screen or crash at or after char select screen every time my test server's IP (or local IP) address changes. (I'm on DSL here which changes IP a lot).

EZ Server however is a static IP.

If not port, then maybe someone else has idea? I know that DirectX was a big one for people that download UF. Wish they kept it on Steam for everyone to buy/download, was no real reason to take it down.

Ok got it. Did a full EQ directory swap from my laptop and its seemed to work. Now comes the fun process of process of configuring everything again...

Thanks for all your help

much appreciated.
