Due to the fact that Im getting alot of zone.exe crashes lately Im now booting 12 zones instead of 8. I just took a peek at the server and there were only 2 zones up! So I hope I wont have to restart again for awhile.
Also..Now that we can see on server select the total users logged in to server I see that the linkdead players always remain logged in. When I reach 25 players I will restart the server. I think Im going to have to learn C++ so that I can try to make a way to log out the players if they go linkdead or dont move for 20 minutes or so.

Also..I think I will try a server on Win98se to see if it works any better. If not
maybe I will scrap Windows and learn linux. Or whatever it takes to stop the crashing.

Finally..I have enabled the command #npcstats. I think that will give the info for the mobs race and real name to use for the #makepet command and #attack command.

Things to do.. List my server in the wikki. Learn Apache and set up a website for the server. Learn as much as I can about computers communicating on the internet and security. I dont know very much about it as I have only had a modern computer for 3 or 4 years now and Im still looking for the cassette player! LOL!

Thanks for playing! Dr_Zauis..

Some advices (if can help)

Make Many virtual memory (if you have 512 mo take 1go VM)
Don't forget to set in the database, the holdzone parameter to 1 (Zone crashed restart automatic if possible)
Don't use Windows98 for server, prefer windows2000/xp or if you can't make other thing Windows98se.
Eqemu is better stable on linux than windows.

Thanks Belfadia..I have 1gig and nothing but what I need to run the server on the OS so I think thats OK.

Yes I have the autostart feature on but it dont restart when crash. Or maybe its not on for some reason. I will check variables in database to make sure.

I guess I go linux then....I will try to do this sometime this Summer..LOL

Hehe, put eqemu on linux isn't very hard, i make it and i don't know linux before
I'm remember a eqemu windows version on 0.6.0 DR3 making crash like you :(
Never find a solution :(

OK..I did have the holdzones set to 1 so maybe it dont work with Serverpack2. I know what its supposed to do cause I had it working when I was using PEQ database and the devs release server and/or SP1.(6.1)

Now..FYI..With SP1 or Devs release I could easily boot zone.exe and have no crashes. However when I booted zoneperl.exe it crash everytime I hail an npc that normally have no response. No crashing if I hail npc that have something to say.

SP2 have something different. I have zone.exe and no zoneperl.exe however
its zone.exe load some perl commands so I seem to get quests without crash most times but once in great while it crash.

So I know right now(Or 99% sure)that if I(maybe by changing default quest plugin or something)made it so all npcs had some kind of response like "Go away dont bother me" then zoneperl.exe will probably never crash and I could use devs release again.

Using the latest binarries from FNW from the download link and doing all the changelog things is working fine have not had any zoneperl.exe crash's in awhile.

These commands will make spell hunting a bit easier for people who don't know where to get all the spells..#sribespells and also for people who want all their skills at 255 #setallskills...I play on your server and i like it alot...it's just hard to find all the spells and also it takes a lot of time to perfect your skills. My Main chars on your server are Bloodrayne and Jetus...If you could do this, it would be a lot of help.



Thanks,
Bloodrayne
