[Debug] [WORLD__LAUNCH] Removing launcher zone (2)

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Here are some other things that i forgot to add:
I am running windows xp.
I am not trying to use minilogin.
When i tried to copy the dll files that i downloaded to my c:\windows\system32 folder it wouldn't let me overwrite, but it would let me take the files out of the folder and put the new ones in, although i could not delete the old ones. I thought was kind of strange and perhaps worth mentioning.
I have checked all of the work I have done so far multiple times.

Not to sure what the first problem is, but this is what fixed it for me on the second thing on your screen shot. use zones instead of zone

Code:

@echo off

start world.exe

cls

Echo Wait for World to finish loading... Press Enter when done.

pause

start eqlaunch.exe zones

exit

Techguy had stated this in a post i read, can;t find it at the moment
hope this helps ya

Looks like that fixed that problem, the server is up and running and i logged on successfully, thanks.

I have the same problem but changing the start.bat line to zones did not help. Any other known causes?

If you are still having issues, you would need to post more information and your configurations.

My apologies. I used the guide mentioned by the OP and have the same setup (XP, No MiniLogin). The only difference is that I am trying to use the old Zebuxoruk db which I received no errors on while sourcing.

When launching my start.bat, I get hung before and this last line never appears (Connected to Loginserver: MYIP). My server shows up in the server list as Locked and I can get to the char screen but just get 'zone unavailable' if trying to go into game. This makes sense since I can't get the zones to start.

Let me know what else I need to provide. I am VERY new to this.

Well I tried following the instructions with the peq db and it worked so the problem must be in using the zebdb. Once I am set up with peq, how can I switch to a different db? Can I just source the new sql in?

try changing in your start.bat file "start eqlaunch.exe zones" to start "eqlaunch.exe zone"

Didn't see this, do you even have a launcher table with entries? Go to MySql site and download/install MySql Query Browser, so you can look at these tables.
If you don't have, that means you have to set up an entry to zone(s) in the launcher table.

The Zebdb has auncher and launcher_zones tables with only one row each. launcher has
id: Main
dynamics: 35

and launcher_zones has
launcher: zones
zone: draniksewerc
port: 7101

so then your bat file should read like this

@echo off
start world.exe
cls
Echo Wait for World to finish loading... Press Enter when done.
pause
start eqlaunch.exe main
exit

That was it!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!

I can't seem to get this working:

Code:

mysql> select * from launcher;

+-------+----------+

| name  | dynamics |

+-------+----------+

| zones |        2 | 

| peq   |        5 | 

+-------+----------+

2 rows in set (0.00 sec)



mysql> select * from launcher_zones;

+----------+-----------+------+

| launcher | zone      | port |

+----------+-----------+------+

| zones    | freporte  | 7001 | 

| zones    | rivervale | 7002 | 

+----------+-----------+------+

2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

I start the server with:
./eqlaunch zones

I see it say rivervale is started, but I can't get passed it.

Code:

[eqemu@gamer logs]$ grep rivervale *

eqemu_debug_23266.log:[10.12. - 09:25:42] [LAUNCHER__WORLD] World told us to start zone rivervale.
