Zone server disconnect

ok I can get into the char select screen but when I try to go into the zone it first said zone unavailable, then it crashed with a bunch of disconnected text over itself. When I boot the zones.bat they go to sleep.... are they supposed to?

That's right, they go to sleep until the world server detects a player entering a zone. Then they tell the zone server which zone to boot up.

I'm sure other people can answer your questions far better than I, but one "gotcha" I found was router settings. I run behind a Linksys router/firewall, and I had to make sure that ports 7995-7999 (one for each of the zone servers) was being redirected to the IP of the PC running the server. If they're not, then the client will crash when you try to zone in. If you add more zone servers (like me -- I'm running ten at the moment) then you need to make sure that all the ports you use are being redirected (like 7990-7999 in my case).

ok thanks for the info, and I am pretty sure I am not behind a firewall. any help would be appreciated

Ok, I am going to clarify alittle. I go to the char select screen and pick one of the 3 chars I made. and with all 3 when I try to enter I immediately get a something is not reoding and you have been disconnected text over itself. I am guessing thi means my zone servers arent connecting. This is on my own server by the way.

you need to post your loginserver.ini, boot5zones.bat, and world.exe and zones.bat output

to post my boot5zones.bat I am guessing I need notepad which mine is corrupt I will try to associate it with wordpad, and I have tryed fixing this problem many times but Microsoft just screws me over.

when I close the world and zones it has a odd memory error but it is system related and doesnt seem to effect anything as far as I can tell.

hmm the end of my zone looks diffrent than normal, I will run it again to see if it does that again

It all looks fine to me, can you post your miniloginserver.ini and db.ini also?

Sorry I am at work and forgot the name, lol, thats what I wanted. Everything looks fine, don't know what your problem could be :(

Actually I just noticed you posted the fresh World.exe and Zone.exe files, we need you to post the output of the files after you try to login and get the errors. Also you can try deletign your account from the database and logging in again.

ok brb with that I just posted a little more info on nilars general support thread

only the world server had any changes I have to leave for like 3 hours though and dont have time to read it but here it is

Hmm darn minilogin.... lol

I'm not real sure what to tell you. But if you wanted to make your server private (without having to fool with minilogin) all you would have to do is use the EqEmu login servers and set all of your IPs in loginserver and boot5zone to localhost and you would be the only one able to connect. Maybe this would fix the problem if you minilogin settings arn't right.

This is one problem....looks like your boot5zones.bat is not setup right. "YourIP" needs to be 127.0.0.1
