World_Launch Unknown launcher 'zone' problem

ChadwickVM · #1 12-26-2006, 12:28 PM

Preface: I am just starting out with EQEmu and have tried both the PEQ+MySQL 5 setup and the Server Package by Cavedude. Have the same problem.

Here is the problem I'm getting after eqlaunch and zone are executed.

My concern is with this at the top.
[Error] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_error_world_3220.log
[Error] Could not load EQTime file eqtime.cfg
[Debug] [WORLD__INIT_ERR] Unable to load eqtime.cfg

And then after the program gets going, you can see a pattern develop.

It says this:
[Debug] [WORLD__LAUNCH] Unknown launcher 'zone' connected. Disconnecting.
[Debug] [WORLD__LAUNCH] Removing pending launcher 4. Adding zone to active list.

And it continues through 4, 5, 6, 7, etc etc until I stop it.

Now, I've found a similar problem here:
http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/sho...her+%27zone%27
But I looked at my files and DB and they are correct in terms of the solutions provided here.

Is there any suggested method on how to go about testing for a solution?

Thanks for reading,
Chad

post the contents of the start.bat file you made please.

ChadwickVM · #3 12-26-2006, 02:00 PM

Here is what my Start.bat file has.

--------------------------------------------------------
@echo off
start minilogin
start world
echo Please wait for World to connect into login server...
Pause
start eqlaunch zone
--------------------------------------------------------

I've also tried it like this.

--------------------------------------------------------
@echo off
start minilogin
start world
echo Please wait for World to connect into login server...
Pause
start eqlaunch
startzone
--------------------------------------------------------

i will assume you are familiar with mysql enough to do this... but run 2 queries for me and post the result sets please

Code:

SELECT * FROM `launcher`;

and

Code:

SELECT * FROM `launcher_zones`;

ChadwickVM · #5 12-26-2006, 02:16 PM

My peq database has this in it.

for launcher

Code:

These fields:
(Primary Key) name   |    dynamics  

Contains this one row:
zones                    |     5            |

for launcher_zones

Code:

These fields:
(key) launcher | (key) zone | port

It contains 0 rows. (no data)

Aerewen · #6 12-26-2006, 02:28 PM

that'd be the problem :p

run this query as many times as you want to add a few startup zones... replace [zone] with the shortname of the zone... it MUST be the short name (ie: pok would be 'poknowledge', the nexus would be 'nexus' and so forth.) make sure to leave the single quotes around it. and increment the last number by 1 each time to specify a different port... it doesnt really matter because eqemu will auto-configure a new port if the specified one is in use, but to speed up the loading process you should do this.

Code:

INSERT INTO `launcher_zones` (`launcher`,`zone`,`port`) VALUES ('zone','[zone]',7001);

when the batch file runs: start eqlaunch zone
it is telling the eqlaunch file to boot up all the zones in the group 'zone' as static zones.

the value of 5 you saw in launcher is telling it to boot 5 dynamic zones to be used for instances (ie: #zonebootup commands etc)

Awesome! Thanks so much for the help. I haven't tried it yet but I'll let you know how it turns out for me. I'm also having some mini log in problems so I'll probably have to wait until tomorrow to test my server. Anyway, thanks a again for the help!

Aerewen · #8 12-26-2006, 02:37 PM

check the minilogin support forum... tons of people including myself have posted a lot of threads in there to help people figure it out.

ChadwickVM · #9 12-26-2006, 02:52 PM

Yep, thats what I'm planning on doing.
I'm actually still getting that same error even past the update but I'm wondering if its b/c I have a problem with my EQemu. Considering it says
unknown launcher 'zone'
i'm wondering if its not recognizing zone.exe as the launcher or something of that nature. Anyway I'm going to see if I can get it working tonight and if I can't I'll keep looking for a solution tomorrow.
Going to dump my db and eqemu and start from scratch.

ChadwickVM · #10 12-26-2006, 06:34 PM

I believe I may have found the problem.

I changed the start.bat file to this:

Code:

@echo off
start minilogin
start world
echo Please wait for World to connect into login server...
Pause
start eqlaunch zones

note that it says ZONES instead of zone.

I have no idea why this works or why I tried it... but I'm no longer getting the error. Hopefully, this is what the output for the world.exe window is supposed to show as apposed to what is in the first post:

Note, I only have 1 zone (erudnint) in my launcher_zones.

EDIT: I just realized that I had specified launcher.names as zones instead of zone. Thats probably why zones worked and zone didn't.
