Small problem

[rodec]

when i run world.exe it loads find and i can see my server in the list. When i run boot5zones.exe it comes up and goes away quicly, then a folder appears with a debug folder inside it and a log. When i opewn the log at the end it says no warrnings and no errors but the zone handlers never load. Here is a cut and past of the log. It is rather long so i apploigize for the length.
If someone could help i would be greatfull

no sooner did i put this topic in do i think i figed it out.... if i am correct i made a stupid mistake and will delete my post in a sec

[rodec]

problem is still there when you click the boot5zones it opens a window to this path....

D:\eqemu\cvs\CVSNT\eqemu\eqemu\NewSource\Build\Zon e

any thoughts?

[samandhi]

Just build your own load5zones.bat file... Open notepad type in the text as follows

start zone . <your ip or localhost> 7995 <your ip or localhost>
start zone . <your ip or localhost> 7996 <your ip or localhost>
start zone . <your ip or localhost> 7997 <your ip or localhost>
start zone . <your ip or localhost> 7998 <your ip or localhost>
start zone . <your ip or localhost> 7999 <your ip or localhost>

And this is NOT needed, but will help remind you if you dont have the right txt file in the same directory as load5zones.bat. Just type this above the first line:

if NOT exist spells_us.txt goto NOSPELL

Then after the LAST line type this:

exit
cls

:NOSPELL
echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one.  Please do so or zones will crash on startup.
PAUSE

REM:---------------END------------------------

Then just do a save-as and save it as load5zones... but make sure to manually type in the .bat part... Now just plop this file in your eqemu server folder that contains the spell_en.txt file and run it...

Hope this alleviates your problem.

[rodec]

ok i have fixed all my problems but this one.. once i get this fixed i will finaly have this thing running

I tried rebuilding boot5zones.bat manualy and it does the same thing as the original. I did descover this though. When i ran boot5zones (original) i did a print screen just before it flashed away. It would seem that the window prints out all the rem statements refering to using the local host and such then flashes off. After it does that a window apears leading to the path i linked in my original post. I now know that the log i posted in here was the build log from when i compiled the zones source, and has nothing do to with the error its self. I did read somewhere else that in the release 5.5 there was a problem with the zone source and that it had to be recompiled. They did not however go into detail how they fixed it other then to say it hasts to be recompiled (which i have done 999999999 times). If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks

[rodec]

oops hit submit before i thought to link my boot5zones file

REM: ****Read this first!!!****

REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "YourIP" when you are connecting

Sorry for some many posts on this. I have learned quite a bit though if thats any consulation. Thanks a TON everyone once again for the help.

[samandhi]

Open up a command prompt then cd into your eqemu server folder (where your load5zones.bat should be) and then type this where xxxx is your internal IP (if applicable) and yyyy is your external IP (again where applicable)...

 start zone . xxxx 7995 yyyy

Dont overlook the "." (period character) after zone, but before your internal IP... This tells zone to open up a generic zone window.. If you want to open up a specific zone just subsititute the "." for a shortname for a zone (ie.. neriakc)....

If you are able to run a zone this way, then that means you are doing something wrong in the typing of, and creatiion of the file..

[rodec]

Well i tired what you said but i am still getting the same error i was getting before. It opens that folder and thats it. If you have anyother ideas i would be greatfull. This is the last thing that is blocking me from getting the server running. Thanks again for the help guys.

[rodec]

Well i have tired everything i can think of... has anyone ever had this kinda problem before or is it just my system that appears to be broken?

[samandhi]

Did you compile your server yourself from the CVS folder?
