zone.exe closing

Whenever I try to run my own server, the zone.exe file gets screwed up and closes. Everything else works fine.

zone.exe

Code:

Using database 'eq' at localhost

[STATUS] CURRENT_ZONE_VERSION: EQEmu 0.4.3

[ERROR] CURRENT_ZONE_VERSION: EQEmu 0.4.3

Usage: zone zone_name  address port worldaddress

At that point it closes.

Any clues? Also, what order should I run the files in? World Zone Boot5Zones? etc? Thanks

did you modify your .bat file to have the right info in it, ie IP and what not?

Posting some of your config files might help...

db.ini

Code:

[Database]

host=localhost

user=harpy

password=village

database=eq

LoginServer.ini

Code:

[LoginServer]

loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemu.net

loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemu.net

loginport=5999

loginport2=5999

worldname=&lt;My Server Name>

worldaddress=&lt;My IP>

locked=false

account=

password=



[WorldServer]

Defaultstatus=

Unavailzone=



[LoginConfig]

ServerMode=Standalone

ServerPort=5999

UplinkAddress=

Boot5zones.bat

Code:

REM:--------------Start-----------------------

@echo off



if NOT exist spells_en.txt goto NOSPELL



start zone . localhost 7995 localhost

start zone . localhost 7996 localhost

start zone . localhost 7997 localhost

start zone . localhost 7998 localhost

start zone . localhost 7999 localhost

exit

cls



:NOSPELL

echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one.  Please do so or zones will crash on startup.

PAUSE



REM:---------------END------------------------

You dont run zone by itself, thats what the zone.bat file is for, starting the zones...

The zone error is because you are trying to click on zone to start it, it requires command line paramters (like in the .bat file) to start properly...

the order is

minilogon - > world - > boot5zones.bat
