Eqlaunch issues

[Havocide]

I followed the http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...indowsServer70 guide for my setup and when i run the "RunEQEmu" from the shortcut on the desktop it loads 2 windows. World.exe & eqlaunch.exe.

(Debug)(Launcher_Error) World told us to start zone dynamic 1-5 but it is already running.

The launch window goes to sleep not sure if I have edited my eqemu_config wrong. Any ideas ? I cant post post any picks of the screens its not allowing me to load them.

Could really use some help here with getting a simple server set up, getting really frustrated with this emu. Have experience in making WoW, Lineage2, and UO Emu's and have never had this much trouble. Any insite would be helpful.

This is what my eqemu_config has in it.

I think I've got something wrong in this that makes the zones stop after 5.

You shouldn't need to post more than 1 post about your problem. If someone is capable, they will assist.

Open your launchers table in mysql, see that you have at least 1 launcher named 'zones', with a value of 5. table 'launcher_zones' does not need info unless you plan to run static zones (which you shouldn't if you haven't succeeded in running things dynamically first).

Then, launch "eqlaunch.exe zones" and that will tell the launcher to go to mysql and fetch the launcher config named "zones", with 5 dynamic zones, and start them.

The only other thing I see wrong is the blatantly obvious "setme" and "I Forgot To Edit My Config". If you are running a Minilogin server, I am pretty sure this has to be set to match LoginServer.ini before it'll work (not sure if that still applies). If you are running Public, that *still* needs to be edited, or your server will show up on eqemulator.net's LS server as "[0.7.0] I Forgot To Edit My Config 0 players online" and we will point and laugh amongst ourselves.
