how do i fix this?

create a text file called eqtime.cfg and put it in your c:\eqemu folder. Put this in the eqtime.cfg file:

1000
4
26
1
2
1600930
1196215337

I used this same file and it worked fine. But can someone break down what each number refers to?

Thks.

What do these numbers represent?

dunno, I copied them from another post about eqtime.cfg. It does seem to set the date and time but it never changes or updates so it's always the same time at server startup.

It looks like support for eqtime.cfg was added back in 0.3.13:

Time of day now saves in a file (eqtime.cfg).

I just checked mine, and this is what it looks like:

Code:

So it looks like it does change (mine shows last modified a few days ago, possibly when the server was last restarted).

In-game, the time is showing as Sunday, January 01, 3100 - 3PM. So, the 3100 (6th line) seems to correspond to the year. I would assume that the first row is the binary form of the day of the week, and the 2nd & 5th rows are the month & day. Everything else I'm not sure about.

The best thing to do would be change some values & restart the server. Worse case scenario, you have to change it back

ok thanks alot not one more question is there a way to auto load zones where i dont have to start them manually?

**Congdar** · #9 03-08-2008, 04:42 AM

you shouldn't need to manually load a zone. your start.bat file should have a line:

start eqlaunch.exe zone

and in your database the table: launcher should have name=zone and dynamics=5 and this should be all you need. This will have all your zones be dynamically loaded when you zone to them. If there are particular zones that you want to be running at all times (static zone) then enter them into the table launcher_zones for example the Plane of Knowledge zone would be: launcher=zone zone=poknowledge and port=0
