ive found two more situations that cause Zone.exe errors... which normally shouldnt... so im not sure whats going on with my Zone.exe file if its working right...
If i modify the table for launcher_Zones and set the first value to read 'zones' instead of 'zone' (as it was set by default)...
The zone is noticed and loaded up. Shortly after however it crashes. Within a minute.
Not sure why, but then the console gets filled with auto-reboot attempts that spawns an infinite number of Zone.exe crash popup windows...
heres some screens
---------------------
SECONDLY Ive found that I CANNOT use Launch-5-zones.bat type methods for booting up static zones.
The zones are created, they work just fine, then crash quickly. Here is a screenshot of the zone.exe console just as it crashes so you can see what point its getting an error!
sooo.. im guessing it comes down to this... the problem with my Zone.exe crashing seems to be related to how it cant connect to the server? Ive tried varying my IP ranges in the config files from the network addy (192.etc.etc)
to 127.0.0.1....
could it be a port or something? I dont know how to open ports, im not on a router or anything =/
im so dumb! ><
anyone see what i dont see? Thanks SO much for all the help, it will work soon i know it! ALMOST THERE!
