i saw a post that said the time of day does not matter do i ran boot5zone and it did not work. it begins to load and brings up 4 dos windows i wait about 10 seconds then i get 4 errors (windows xp errors, the ones that want you to send info to MS). then i get cut off. any ideas?

all i need to download is mysql and eqemu-0.4.3-win32?

now as far as i know world.exe is ok but when i run boot5zones
i crash the error says it was zone.exe and i had a chance to check all 4 dos windows 3 seem to load correctly but the last one is trying to load NPCtypes seems to be the one with the error because all the other ones say that they are done loading before the error

ok i solved the NPC_types problem by using 4.1 instead of 4.2. now i can load the server with no errors but, it starts out locked. how do i unlock it withouth joining the server? also when i try to log in it gives me the re-run patch error? please help!!!

:confused:

there is something in the ini files about the locked status of the server. you can change it in there. or you can also use telnet to lock it and unlock it. / boot people /send server wide messages/ shutdown the server and more. for the telnet i know you use your ip that the server is on but i cant remember the port you use.
