couple of newbie questions.

[candlesaccount]

well i found this error a couple of times in the log files.

[11:30. - 12:36:37] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_0512.log
[11.30. - 12:36:37] [LAUNCHER__ERROR] You must specfify a launcher name as the first argument to this program.

as for the armor. i'll just have to wait till my character has enough money to buy chainmail/leather armor to see if the character model changes when i equip it. (having trouble getting my server to recognise a 2nd (gm)account)

is there a way to override the disconnect on death or am i biting off more than i can chew already?

I gathered the hair and face bug from trying the other publice servers. its become routine to me now to set those each time. small price to pay to play a great game

hmm, goto your MySQL Query Browser and look under the launcher table.
see if you have one called zones (under the name field) and how many dynamic zones you want to startup under dynamics ( I recommend at least 1/ each player that might have access + 2 or 3 extra. If not, try adding these in.

I'm not sure if that is what is causing the error, but worth a shot. It might be a simple cause of you not haveing enough dynamics to open a new zone while the other is still active.

If you have GM access, do a #search big bag of
this will give you the number for a big bag of platinum, which you can sell during this test phase. (simple destroy the extra coin afterwards)
then do a #si (item number) -- without the parenthesis
sell that bag to a merchant and viola.. lots of coin, oh, be sure to do this AT the armor merchant. As you will be VERY encumbered. hehe

only by not hunting in the zone you are bound in, I tend to recommend for my players to use PoK as a local bind spot until this is fixed. Since it is unlikely they will die there.

I posted this somewhere else, but can't find the link. Another way to fix your face, hair, and I think even armor bits is to target yourself and re-set your #gender (if this is your own server). If not, bald, nude chicks are hot anyway.

went there. there are 2 listed. the first field in the first entry says name. the error says i must specify a name for that field. problem solved? mysql would let me edit those fields. i cant post a new entry, or edit the existing ones.
