Zone9x/zoneNT

[DuDeMaN]

i can get into the minilogin server fine without useing one of these files, but as soon as i push enter world, i imeadeatly crash back to server, with no errors or anything, so im guessing i have to use one of these, im useing windows 98, but when i open zone9x it looks like this:

"Useing database 'EQ' at localhost
Usage: zone zone_name address port worldaddress".. without the "s of course, ive read everything i can find, any ideas anyone? :)

besides all those opcode erros... wich is obviously a problem but i guess it doesnt seem to mater cause it keeps goin past it, the only other error i can see is the "map not found"... any advice on how to fix this? thanks ;P

If you have a zone9x.exe then your not using 0.3.4. you're probably using 0.3.3.1 which requires an older EQ patch to work properly.

[DuDeMaN]

yeah i think what i did was get a zone9x out of the 0.3.3.1 and stick it with my 3.4 :P... but anyway i can still use zoneNT, even though i got win 98 ;)

[Shawn319]

but anyway i can still use zoneNT, even though i got win 98

Go ahead. but beware, it will probably crash every single time you try to log in or zone =P

well for one everyone crashes when they zone anyway :mad:, and 2, that was the reason i was posting this in the first place hehehe, i crash every time i log in, i spose that could solve it tho, but sence there is no 3.4 zone9x.... uhhhh.....

[Shawn319]

Yeah the reason there is a ZoneNT and Zone9x is because zoneNT doesnt work on Windows 98/ME and Zone9x doesnt work on WinNT/2k/XP. There is no zone9x.exe because none of the devs had a win9x box to test it on (cant release an untested product can we)....

[DuDeMaN]

well hell, id be glad to test stuff, just uhh... send me the stuff ill test it ;)

Zone9x should work fine on NT/2000/xp, just not the other way around. ZoneNT should be faster on the OS's it runs on though.

[Shawn319]

0.3.5 beta 5 has just a zone.exe now. its just ZoneNT.exe renamed since it works on all OS's now (according to the other devs).
