Problem in world.exe and boot5zones.bat
 
I'm new to this, and trying to log into the single player mode with minilogin, etc. I can get to the character select, but my problem is when I try to log into an actual character, the game crashes. I think this may have something to do with an error I'm getting in both world.exe and boot5zones.bat, which I suspect are connected somehow. They are both listed below.

Did you source the files from the Db-Addon-3.11.zip? = )

If you are running mini-login, you'll need to edit your loginserver.ini file to remove these two lines:

loginserver2=localhost
loginport2=5999

That should solve your problem. Let me know if that worked for you.

:D

Still having problems in boot5zones
 
Ok, world.exe no longer has any problems after I did what both of you suggested, but boot5zones still says:

Cannot find file '***' (or one of its components). Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available.

The asterisks standing for the name of the zone I wish to visit. Do I need to type something more than the zone name, like the path for the eq directory?

And thank you all for such quick and useful help, I'm well on my way to getting this wonderful little program working :D .

Try this instead, just as a test:

boot5zones.bat file contents
@echo off
start zone . localhost 7995 localhost
exit
cls

Also check to make sure all your zone.cfg files are in c:\eqemu\cfg or wherever your path is.

When you put zone names in the boot5zone, I THINK you have to take the period out ... I may be wrong....

Yubazafum 11-22-2002 04:35 PM

I've done all you've said since my last post, I can still get to character selection, but when I try to enter, it says the zone is unavailable. When I put "zone" into boot5zones.bat, it loaded up fine:

Using database 'eq at localhost
EQEMu 0.3.13 - Verbesserungen
Loading zone names, items & NPCs...
EMuShareMem.dll loaded.
Loading NPCTypes from database...
...done.
Loading doors from database...
done.

but then I got an error message saying "zone has caused an error in zone.exe, zone will now close" twice, and it shut off. However, periods or no, when I try a proper name, such as gfaydark, all I get is:

Cannot find file 'gfaydark' (or one of its components). Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available.

All of my *.cfg files are present, though when I try to put them into the zone area (Example: start "C:\EQEMU\cfg\gfaydark.cfg" . localhost 7995 localhost), I get a message saying

No application is associated with the specified file. Create an association by using the explorer.

I'm all out of ideas, any suggestions?

Well, the General Protection Fault or whatever it is causing zone.exe to crash is curious. The way to force a certain zone open is actually:

If you are using Minilogin:

start zone gfaydark 127.0.0.1 7995 127.0.0.1

If you are using eqemu.net login server:

start zone gfaydark youriphere 7995 127.0.0.1

A normal non specified zone start running minilogin:

start zone . 127.0.0.1 7995 127.0.0.1

A normal non specified zone start eqemu.net login:

start zone . youriphere 7995 127.0.0.1

You see, the period after zone is what is replaced when you want a certain zone to open. Don't use the path directly to the gfaydark.cfg. Let's try and figure out why zone.exe is crashing though, that is the current issue here.

P.S. I have not been able to get Minilogin to work with the latest client patches. I don't know if it is broken or not, but I assume it is. Best to use eqemu.net login server instead of minilogin. If you want to restrict acces then simply lock the server by specifying in your loginserver.ini:

locked=true

Syntaks 11-23-2002 01:19 AM

Just out of curiosity, you did say all your (zonename).cfg files are in the cfg folder in your emulator directory, correct?

Yubazafum 11-24-2002 02:23 AM

I have tried all of the commands:

"If you are using Minilogin:

start zone gfaydark 127.0.0.1 7995 127.0.0.1

If you are using eqemu.net login server:

start zone gfaydark youriphere 7995 127.0.0.1

A normal non specified zone start running minilogin:

start zone . 127.0.0.1 7995 127.0.0.1

A normal non specified zone start eqemu.net login:

start zone . youriphere 7995 127.0.0.1"

listed here, with, of course, their respective loginserver.ini setups and prerequisites or lack of. In each case I have come up with the error in zone.exe. My *.cfg files are indeed in the cfg folder in the emulator directory. All I need to do is get around this zone.exe crash and I'm done with all my problems, I should hope. Any suggestions on how?

Same here
 
I'm getting the same errors after trying all iterations of the boot5zones file... everything looks fine, even the zones say "...done" after names etc. I'm using winXP sp1 with the newest DB addons installed. Anyone been able to pin down what could be causing the errors? Here's the basic info from the error:

AppName: zone.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: zone.exe
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0005ae11
