Coming home to find only 2 zones running instead of 5...

Perhaps someone here might be able to shed some light on the subject and also some way around the current dilemma.

I am able to run my server on eqemu without any issues except really this one. I started up EqEmu and ran the boot5zones.bat to load up my first 5 zones and all was well. I then went to sleep with it running only to wake up in the morning to find that only 4 out of the 5 zones still running, the 5th no longer there.

So then I restarted the 5th zone manually and all was well again, till I came home from work to find only 2 out of the 5 running. So after playing aruond with it last night I decided to load up 5 more for a total of 10 (as my system was able to handle it) and went to sleep.

When I woke this morning I discovered that 6 out of the 10 were running and XP had this nice little error saying that World.exe had crashed and needed to be closed. Funny enough, until I clicked on the "Do not sent" for the bug report, the world.exe was still operational.

Anyway I redid the world.exe and the 10 zones before I came to work but I forgot to send the eqdebug.txt so I dont have that. However what I would like to know is if there is a way to have it reopen the zone that crashed as soon as the window closes ? If so how?.

I know the code is not perfect and thats why I am not complaining hehe I think the devs have done a fantastic job so far with it all, but if this can be worked around it would be perfect for my 24/7 world that I plan to keep up and running

..

Thanks for your help !!

Your using a program thats in its alpha stages, its going to be buggy... However, we are working on a lot of bugs and last night I only had 3 zone servers crash out of 20, usually i would lose about 15.

hehe yeah you dev guys are doing a great job =)

I usually loose about 5 zones when I put 15 up during the night but thats because I only get half the number of users compared to what Image gets =) or else I would loose them all =)

And the PoD quest is working great btw =)
