Zone Unavailable

[Chad-4484]

World.exe and boot5zones.bat load up perfectly fine. No errors. Im on a minilogin server that was workin, but i had no items in the database. After i sourced a file to put items in there, now when i get to the char select screen i get Zone Unavailable everytime i try to enter. Someone please tell me wtf im doing wrong.

Yeah i have no idea why, i'm guessing that i have to download that big 70 meg file entitled "maps" in the eqemu dl section...

the message 'zone is unavailable' appears because the zone crashes. If you log out you'll notice that there's one DOS session less.

May the starting_items or books tables are empty?
To check it, simply open a dos session, go to your mysql/bin folder, type msql, type use eq and type SELECT * from books; and so on.
