Errors from World.exe (Pic's Included)

[kolamer]

Well I had somewhat better luck today. I used the Ax DB and I was able to get all the way to the character select screen and make a character on my server. I just couldnt zone into any zones because it kept saying that the zones were unavailable. The server I am making is just for myself so I am using the minilogin server to keep it local.

Gonna surf around here on the forums and see if I can find something that stands out.

If you are using AX DB, make sure you set your start.bat to start the launcher named "zones" instead of "zone". It has to match what is in your database and the default for AX is named "zones" for some reason. You can also change that in the Launcher table if you wish instead of the start.bat. It doesn't matter what you call them as long as they both match.

Hmm let me give that a try and see how that works.

That did it! I am able to log onto my own server now locally!

I get the same "reported state STARTED/STOPPED" cycle that the OP shows above. Changing the name from "zone" to "zones" did not remedy the problem.

However, from the guide, it says I should see:

Connected to Loginserver: eqemulator.net:5998
Loginserver provided 75.117.218.2 as world address

I see the first line but not the second "Loginserver provided" line.

Suggestions?

Ok, I've progressed past this butnow encounter "Zone not found in database" and the characters are moved at the character creation screen to the Arena. However, the Arena never loads.

Anyone?

Make sure you have all of the tables in your database and that the server is able to get logged into your database. You should have a zones table in there.

Thanks T, but to help a newb out, where do I look for that? I have no idea how to manage though a DB, sadly.
