Static Zones

[Shiny151]

I've been looking around for info on how to configure static zones in PEQ using a Windows server. Can anyone shed some light on how to do this? Thanks.

I currently run 77 static zones, so I'll show you my setup. If it doesn't match up perfectly with your table schema, things might have changed since I have experimented with these.

Firstly, the launcher table. Since I do not want 77 independent windows, 3 launchers control the zones. Note I left 10 dynamic zones in case something crashed.

name dynamics
third 0
second 0
first 0
zones 10

Next, the launcher_zones table is split into 3 different launcher names of the static zones I wanted.

launcher zone port

first qeynos2 1201

And finally I have a .bat that starts everything for me.

@echo off
start world.exe
cls
echo Wait for World to finish loading... Press Enter when done.
pause
start eqlaunch.exe first
start eqlaunch.exe second
start eqlaunch.exe third
start eqlaunch.exe zones



exit

Hope this helps!

nilbog this is great. Thank you very much for the info. It all makes sense now that I look at the tables.

But 77 zones! What OS and how much RAM do you have installed? What is your server pop on an average day?

[nilbog]

This is on a server machine, running a 64 bit server OS and 8 gigs of ecc memory. The prekunark zones take up like 25% of it; not bad at all.

Average population:

Glad to be of help.
