AoC database install notes 1. These instructions tested under zmud 7.21 2. download database program zipfile (AoCEQ.zip) 3. extract zip file to any folder in my case, the zip file extracted to: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\AoCEQ 4. close zmud 5. run AoCEQ program (located in the folder you just extracted to) depending on if you've run the program before, an aoceq settings dialog may appear. things like: local port 4000, and item: item, queryeq: qeq... etc. just leave those default. i left (Use MXP) unchecked, and i left (Use Windows clipboard) checked. 6. if the above settings window appear, click Ok. If the above settings window does not appear, Dont freak out. Continue reading. Also, Windows Security Alert (a one time thing maybe) appears: To help protect your computer, Windows Firewall has blocked ... Do you want to keep blocking this program? Name: Age of Chaos EQ DB Proxy Application Publisher: Shadrach (Eglin) [Keep Blocking] [Unblock] [Ask me Later] 7. If this message appears, obviously click UNBLOCK! If this security alert does not appear, dont freak out, but understand i cannot provide technical assistance for any of your particular firewall problems. 8. Now a spinning Wheel of Time appears in the windows clock area. (if you move your mouse over it should say "not connected") 9. Right click WoT spinning wheel, click settings. Change the local port to: 3000 this will be the port zmud connects to the aocdb program the aocdb program will use port 4000 natively to connect to aoc.pandapub.com 9. You're almost there! With the AoCDB program running (i.e. wheel of time is spinning)! 10. Open zmud. Right click your aoc.pandapub.com connection link In the host box (where you have "aoc.pandapub.com" change it to "localhost") change the port to 3000. Click Save above. connect to that new "localhost" 11. Zmud should now connect proxy to aoc.pandapub.com via port 3000 (localhost) the Wheel of Time wheel should now stop spinning and mouse-over should say connected. 12.
