Eventually... This will probably work out better than the official servers did!

But yeah... Downloading now.

Man, I have my fingers crossed. So much for them to figure out...I just cant imagine how they will do it all. But, the devs seem optimistic, so Im waiting and hoping.....

Let me know if you have issues installing the emu client....it went very smoothly for me following the directions that I reposted here from the EMU site.

Plat · 15th February 2010, 14:24

im gonna be installing it later after i get my tower up and running. sucks that i deleted my mxo install.

Terracus · 15th February 2010, 15:31

Right. This is tomorrow's task. No, I mean it this time. A small window in my READ READ READ READ READ schedule for uni has opened up, so tomorrow's the day.

No hurry dude, not like its going anywhere!
In fact, I worry that Ive rallied the troops too early, when in fact this isn't going to change for a long time....

Is this not Win7 compatable?? Let me know if its not, so I can get a dual OS going.

sixxth · 18th February 2010, 17:06

Hey Ios - So Im actually unsure of that. I *think* that some have it working
on Win 7......Ill surf around the EMU forums and see if I can find a definitive answer.....

* * * Edit * * *

OK, so looks like its Win 7 should be fine. Here is a link to a post if you have problems....

Really though I think if you follow the main installion directions in the "idiots guide" you will good.

SO for those of you following this....some (sad) strange developments on the EMU. If you've surfed those forums for any length of time you know that there are 2 main guys that do developement: Morpheus and Rajkosto. I wont go into the long history of who was doing what - but it appears that Raj made the big breakthroughs in encryption breaking and packet understanding. Then he kinda stopped doing anything and Morph picked up the code. However, he doesnt code well in c++ ( I think that was the main mxo code) so ported over to Python for the server software. His multi server test didnt work well. Raj has one going right now with HIS emu server software, its working fine.

Well, there has always been alot of friction between the 2 of them (Raj is....blunt...in his criticism. Mean sometimes even). Anyhow, the devs have split, and NOW Morph is going restart his python server coding, and Raj will continue with his. I suspect that Raj's would be a better solution, but he seems to treat the EMU as a hobby, not a burning desire. Morph has stated, he loves this game and will never stop until he has a working EMU. SO who knows...

Not sure where this will end up. Im going to follow both, Ill keep everyone here posted. Im going to go into Raj's test server tonight. Morph has stated that he needs to do alot of re-writing so Im assuming that it will be a while before there is anything to test there.

This sucks, and is why we need a company running this. But oh well.

Yeah.. 'Cause that worked out so well in the past

Terracus · 19th February 2010, 17:20

I did notice that Raj, from my brief visits to the forum, was a cunt. Whereas Morpheus was not.

Sad news, but interesting to see where this will go.

Yeah, I can't figure Raj out, very sarcastic and mean at times. I will say, I think he is quite brilliant though, and no one would be anywhere without his initial understanding of what the game does with client and server.

Still, the standalone client remains good to download and fool with. Also, I will try to get into Raj's server test this weekend. They have been running for a couple of days with multiple people online, so who knows?

Iosaris · 19th February 2010, 22:53

**sigh** Cant we all just get along. I NEED MY FIX!!!

**grinds up disc 3 and snorts**

It would appear that drama follows MxO wherever it goes.

*snort*

Anyone else get the standalone installed?

Minnz · 20th February 2010, 13:35

*Slams face on wall repeatedly whilst saying.* I ... Dont ... Know ... Hows!! Argh!11

I sure hope so, as thats all I have at the moment. If you have a decent laptop, it should be no problem. Mine runs a dual core processor with 3 gigs of ram, but a crappy on board intel graphic card. **sighs** It supposedly is a direct x 10 card, so Im hoping it will be ok.

I will definetely get this installed on Tuesday or Wednesday, as I ll have all kinds of free time.

**snorts**

sixxth · 20th February 2010, 22:23

Yeah, I can't see why it wouldnt run on a newer laptop - hell Im running it on my ancient P4 cpu with an ATI 9800 - state of the art about 7 years ago lol

Minnz, whats it doing/not doing?

Minnz · 21st February 2010, 01:31

Well like ... Erm .. Things .. Erm ... Blah ... Erm ..

Hmm ok, well thats not *quite* enough info for me to help.

GO here: http://mxoemu.info/forum/thread-278.html

read through the directions again. One of the steps end with you clicking a "create" button, and another with you clicking a "go" button. Did you remember to do that?

Its a very step by step thing.......I had an instruction window open at the same time I was doing the steps.

Good luck - let me know if that was helpful at all?

Iosaris · 21st February 2010, 15:51

Ok. I just tried this, and Im already stuck. After installing the app server, when I try to enter in the address for Internet Explorer, it says "page not found". Any ideas sixxth?

I copied and pasted it directly into the web browser, and I did use IE and not Firefox as mentioned. This part of the thread http://mxoemu.info/forum/thread-278-...3.html#pid5003 may be useful?

If all else fails....start the steps from scratch? Not to be insulting, but be sure that you hit the "create" button when you are making the reality Db

Eve anyone? www.eve-online.com

Drop an "eve mail" to G.LightShiner if/when you decide to join up.

It's cool to see most of the regulars still hanging around.
