Hello, I just got my LAN server set up and running. As a note for others with trouble, I had to give each computer on my LAN an id number in the accounts table, via the Admin Tool. It works fine. Thanks for all the hard work, developers!
Now that I have a server up, I've had the kids zoning around to check things out. I'm running into a couple of snags and hope someone can assist.
1. I don't quite understand the relationship between LOC coordinates and the zone in coordinates. We hit some zones, like East Commonlands from West Freeport, and enter above the treetops, crashing to death. When I checked the Admin tool for the z coordinate, it was something like -2400. When we survive the fall, the LOC z coordinate is nothing like that.
-- Can someone give me a brief lesson on this relationship? I want to fix my zone in points to be the same as EQLive. Same LOCs and all.
2. Some zones lock up the character and crash to the server select screen. Permafrost, Befallen, Cazic Thule, so far, crash the client. The zone actually stays up and indicates one character still in the zone, but we can't get in to retrieve the character and the GM #summon command will not pull the character out.
-- Any idea why this happens?
-- Any idea how we can fix it?
-- Any tips on retrieving that character?
3. Relevant to #2, in Permafrost, the character suddenly falls down and the message indicates he is unconscious. He doesn't fall from a great height; I have no idea why he suddenly becomes unconscious. He can't camp out or get up for more than a few seconds before he's unconscious again or the client crashes. He seems to have about 60 seconds, but the GM #summon command from a different character can't pull him out.
Perhaps some of the zones are still a little buggy. That's okay. I appreciate the work done so far. If anyone can lend me any insight, I'll try to address these problems.
Thanks, again, for the emu and for all the help in the chatroom. I must have sounded like a complete bumblehead, at times, in the IRC.
