akkadius scripts + static zones

[DanCanDo]

Uleat pretty much says it all. You need one zone launcher available for each and every
seperate zone that a player is trying to zone in to (even from login).
I personally don't run statics. I have 75 dynamics which right now is an overkill, but the
resources are plenty enough.
If you're simply trying to run statics to control mob spawns, it's not really needed.
The respawn timers work well enough for me, that even trying to do a #repop will not
reset that timer.

How did you get it to have 75 dynamics? This is getting a little more complicated than I anticipated, I guess I'll just set increased shutdown delay in Zone table and run extra dynamic zones as a good compromise.

The issue though with dynamics is like for lockjaw for instance if he isn't popped you could leave the zone then come back and he may be up.

Also what are the benefits to running extra dynamics?

I actually have to apologize, simply because I've never used Akka's installer
and I don't even know what the start scripts look like, as I've done all my own
source compiling/installs, etc., but in the database, the 'launcher" table, which
has 2 columns, 'Name' and 'Dynamics' I use zone for name and 75 for dynamics.
Then when running the cmd eqlaunch.exe zone in my own script, it will launch
those 75 dynamics. But I run as much as I can from the database without the
use of scripts. As far as how many dynamics, don't use mine as "needed", it's
far from what I do need right now. I'm just doing my own thing.

Hmm so with akka's db it has a peq entry and a zone entry. By default peq dynamics is 40 and zone is 5 so I would assume peq is the amount of zones up? Or should I set both to my higher number just to be safe?
