Starting Zone - Trying to set global start zone

Firstly I read this...
http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=34027

This is the code i used

Code:

update start_zones set zone_id = 152;

update start_zones set start_zone = 152;

update start_zones set bind_x =  25;

update start_zones set bind_y = 0;

update start_zones set bind_z = -28.5;

Under variables tables I have nothing mentioning start zones at all.

Under rule_values I have

Code:

world:SoFStartZoneID -1

world:tutorialzoneID -1

I tried setting SOF and Tutorial zone to 152 also, didn't help so i kept it at 152.

Any help would be appreciated, I just want all new characters to end up in Nexus.

Also in my world.exe I get "No Start_Zones entry in database, using defaults"

Adding a VARIABLE

StartZone 152 didn't work
StarZone Nexus worked.... oddly enough.

You need to finish the code.

UPDATE start_zone set startzone = 152 where startzone = XXX

The XXX is where the old start currently is, like if they start in South Qeynos

It would look like

UPDATE start_zone SET start_zone = 152 where start_zone = 1

That will update every class / race combo who start(ed?) in South Q. to be moved to Nexus as start zone...unsure if you need to add more coding to clean up the starting location try it out just change the last digit(s) to the WHERE START_ZONE = 1 is. Good luck hope this helps.

where start_zone = XXX would only do a filter of it ONLY changes start zones that equal the value, Bohbo you had it right in the first place, the sql for changing all classes/all races is.

Code:

update start_zones set zone_id = 152 and x = 25 and y = 0 and z = -28.5;  



update start_zones set start_zone = 152 and bind_x = 25 and bind_y = 0 and bind_z = -28.5;

then change

World:SoFStartZoneID
World:TutorialZoneID

to -1

this will make it so everyone should start in the same zone.. in theroy, right now i'm not 100% sure since there is a lot of bugs with the database system and how it works. for some reason i'm seeing quite a few people having the issue of start zones not working.
