Managing Zones

[techguy84]

Dam perty pdfs is actually a over statment for what I made. It has some nice things such as side captions and such, but its far from being top notch. It functions, and thats what I was wanting. I do wish it was Publication Worthy though, but I need to tweak some more and possible get some bookmarks in place before that happens.

Funny though, I just keep getting the itch to pick it back up and work on it some more, along with playing some EQ, but I keep getting side tracked with things and I always drop it. /sigh

Personally, I blame Bethesda and LethalEncounter for my lack of time here any more. If it wasnt for Oblivion and EQ2, I would be working on it still today.

Lets say you wanted to make the starting cities static- and akanon was the first one you were going to add;
first you need to make a new entry in table "launcher", you could call it "Cities" and the entry would look like

+---------+----------+
| name | dynamics |
+---------+----------+
| Cities | 0 |

next you need to go to "launcher_zones" and add aknon;

+----------+---------------+------+
| launcher | zone | port |
+----------+---------------+------+
| Cities | akanon | 1200 |

You can add all the zones you want and classify them under "Cities"

Finally, you make an entry in your start up script;

./eqlaunch Cities &

depending on how many cities you launch you should delay the script so they won't run into each other;

sleep 120

heres what mine looks like;
launcher_zones

+----------+---------------+------+
| launcher | zone | port |
+----------+---------------+------+
| Cities | akanon | 1200 |
| Cities | erudnext | 1201 |
| Cities | felwithea | 1202 |
| Cities | felwitheb | 1203 |
| Cities | freporte | 1204 |
| Cities | freportew | 1205 |
| Cities | freportn | 1206 |
| Cities | gfaydark | 1207 |
| Cities | halas | 1208 |
| Cities | kaladima | 1209 |
| Cities | kaladimb | 1210 |
| Cities | neriaka | 1211 |
| Cities | neriakb | 1212 |
| Cities | neriakc | 1213 |
| Cities | paineel | 1214 |
| Cities | qeynos | 1215 |
| Cities | qeynos2 | 1216 |
| Cities | rivervale | 1217 |
| Classic | crushbone | 1223 |
| Classic | kithicor | 1218 |
| Classic | lakerathe | 1219 |
| LoY | dulak | 1221 |
| LoY | gunthak | 1220 |
| LoY | nadox | 1222 |
| Cities | swampofnohope | 1223 |
| Cities | tutorialb | 1224 |
| Cities | poknowledge | 1225 |
+----------+---------------+------+

launcher;

+---------+----------+
| name | dynamics |
+---------+----------+
| Cities | 0 |
| Classic | 0 |
| DoD | 0 |
| GoD | 0 |
| Kunark | 0 |
| LoY | 0 |
| Luclin | 0 |
| OoW | 0 |
| PoP | 0 |
| Velious | 0 |
| zones | 5 |
+---------+----------+

I don't use a lot of the entries in launcher yet, but have them there incase I ever want to

[ChaosSlayer]

Just wondering here....but I have never edited anything besides my entires for the zones in the DB. Just one entry in "zones" for my dynamics, and my statics in the other. Works just fine with only editing those, question is, is that maybe not recommended? Just trying to see if I have unfinished editing to do.
