static zones from batchfile

[sdabbs65]

if you don''twant to dig up that silly sleep command
theres work arounds for it.
Windows XP does not come with such a command, there are tricks to emulate it, such as a 'ping' command trick to emulate the sleep command

For DOS, Windows 95, and Windows 98 machines

Create the following batch file and name it WAIT.BAT.

@CHOICE /T:N,%1% > NUL

Now, in order to wait 10 seconds in a batch file, just call the WAIT.BAT batch file as follows:

CALL WAIT 10

For Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003 machines

You can use the following WAIT.BAT, as the CHOICE command is not included in the default install on Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003:

@ping 127.0.0.1 -n 2 -w 1000 > nul
@ping 127.0.0.1 -n %1% -w 1000> nul

i couldn't find this anywhere either, but for the sake of explore.exe's already mem hogging ways you can drop multi zones into a launcher and only get one window. open your DB with a Gui viewer editer, and find the launcher table add a table here with your new launcher name, then move over to launcher_zones the add in the zones you want your new launcher to handle, format should be
launcher name | short zone name


now that this is all done edit start.bat

@echo off 
start world.exe
echo Waiting for World to finish before starting Zone...
sleep 20
start eqlaunch.exe zones
sleep 60 <!--gives your dynamic zones one minute to start before moving on ----> 
start eqlaunch.exe #*#new launcher name#*#

just replace #*#new launcher name#*# with your launcher's name..
