Zone.EXE (Finally got my server) But need little more help

[Richardo]

Oki doke guys thanks for the help so far all I need help on is this... I got my server up.. But its locked- Because I have no zone's up... I have the Zone.exe now how do I use it? I double click it and it opens and closes in a flash... I dont know how to set it up to open which zones, could someone explain to me how to open up zones on my server.. Sorry about all the trouble but I need to learn somewhere... I have a great server box.. 2.4ghz 1.5gig of ram

You will get a better responce if you read the walkthrough and use the search feture. Most of the questions you have asked / are probable going to ask have already been answered many many time.

[Richardo]

Sorry, what search? lol I did read the walkthrough, thats how I got where I am now.. But I dont fully understand it all.. Theres a diffrence between seeing and understanding

[Kgaul]

have you edited your Boot5zone.bat file? you need to open it if you have not. Right click on the file and select edit then make the changes the walk through says... then all you have to do is double click on that once you have your zone up and running....

Yes I did that, 5Zone's Come up but no zones are designated, they all say...

The Window is called, it is in MsDos
C:\EqEmu\cvs\eqemu\NewSource\Build\ZoneDebug.exe.e xe

[Status] CURRENT_ZONE_VERSION: EQEMu 0.5.0
[Status] Loading Variables
[Status] Loading zone names
[Status] Loading items
[Status] EMuShareMem loaded

What do I do?

[ndnet]

start zone . IP 7995 IP

This line in your Boot5Zones.bat file starts up a dynamic zone server. When a client attempts to login to a specific zone, a zone server will boot the zone for the client to enter. Unless you want to create static zone servers whose zone inhabitants persist without a client being in the zone, leave it the way it is. Otherwise, replace the period between "zone" and the first address with the zone's shortname (like "nexus" for The Nexus).

Obviously im doing something wrong... I read the Tutorial on win32 server, many many times and im just stuck on this part now...

(I have the spells_us.txt in the C:\EqEmu\cvs\eqemu\NewSource\Build directory)

I cant find out whats the deal...

Also, how do I make it set up a specific zone? does it set up random zones or? what

[ndnet]

What does your boot5zones.bat look like?

Personally, I vote you scrap the whole thing and download the precomiled binaries packaged up all nice and neatly, and working to setup a server from there.

[Richardo]

Thats my Bat. File... And Where do I get the pack you are talking about?

24.162.26.61 is my IP
192.168.1.1 Gate IP
(I made a guess on the 2nd IP and used my Gate IP)

@echo off

if NOT exist spells_en.txt goto NOSPELL

start ZoneDebug.exe . 24.162.26.61 7995 192.168.1.1
start ZoneDebug.exe . 24.162.26.61 7996 192.168.1.1
start ZoneDebug.exe . 24.162.26.61 7997 192.168.1.1
start ZoneDebug.exe . 24.162.26.61 7998 192.168.1.1
start ZoneDebug.exe . 24.162.26.61 7999 192.168.1.1
exit
cls

:NOSPELL
echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.
PAUSE

[Richardo]

Ok! Got 5 Zones to run, boot up..

Now why is my server still locked?

[Kgaul]

check to see if

Locked=true

in your loginserver.ini


if so thats your prob..


Kgaul

[Richardo]

nope, its false
Perhaps my Login is incorrect, here take a look...

# READ README.TXT
[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net

[WorldServer]

[Kgaul]

Not sure what you mean by zone.exe output.. as soon as I try to open the zone.exe it opens and closes real quick...

Your DB is totle FUBAR....Drop that DB and start over from scratch.

[Richardo]

Is there a tutorial on how to get rid of DB's and implement new ones?

[mattmeck]

Drop database eq; or whatever you named your DB in place of "eq", i think thats the command anyway. been a wile since i used it. then just resouirce everything in.

Make sure everything you have is the newest ones proven to work.

[Muuss]

this is the output u get from tcsmyworld's DB. you need to update it with the 11/16 update :
