i know, but in order to load the zones, wouldn't you have to change the boot5zones.bat to add something like;

start zone.exe . 24.175.75.83 ZONE ID 192.168.1.2

No

start zone.exe . 24.175.75.83 7995 192.168.1.2 
start zone.exe . 24.175.75.83 7996 192.168.1.2

Will run ANY 2 zones 1 or the one your in one for whatever zone your going into

start zone.exe Halas 24.175.75.83 7997 192.168.1.2

would keep halas up 100% of the time.

as a better explination as I understand it

start zone.exe . 24.175.75.83 7995 192.168.1.2

In this example the "." is a wile card...you type #zone halas from NK.

you have a zone up for NK (your in it) when you type #zone halas world looks for a zone that is aval to boot up "." will allow that zone to become any zone thats needed.

start zone.exe Halas 24.175.75.83 7997 192.168.1.2

Will keep halas up even if there isnt anyone in the zone, BUT it wont allow this zone to become any other zone.

another thing you may want to know

start zone.exe . 24.175.75.83 7995 192.168.1.2 
start zone.exe . 24.175.75.83 7996 192.168.1.2 
start zone.exe . 24.175.75.83 7997 192.168.1.2 
start zone.exe . 24.175.75.83 7998 192.168.1.2 
start zone.exe . 24.175.75.83 7999 192.168.1.2

to add more zones

see the #'s in between your IP adresses?

7995
7996
7997
7998
7999

to get more then 5 zones running keep upping that # by 1 so the next zone would be

start zone.exe . 24.175.75.83 8000 192.168.1.2

A quick question about the zones, when you move from NK to Halas, will the zone that was previously NK become a wild card again or will it stay as NK? I ask because it seems that if it stayed as NK it would mean that after 5 zones are booted by clients, (say, Gfaydark, Nexus, Arena, Halas, and Nk) that anyone trying to log into (or zone into) and other zone would have problems.

also is it possible to run 1 static zone and 4 variable zones? Say i wanted to have the Arena stay open all the times and leave 4 variable zones.

and my boot5zones would look like this...
start zone 77 MyIpAdress 7995 MyIpAddress
start zone . MyIpAddress 7996 MyIpAddress
start zone . MyIpAddress 7997 MyIpAddress
start zone . MyIpAddress 7998 MyIpAddress
start zone . MyIpAddress 7999 MyIpAddress

is that doable?

Yes, after about 30 secs to a minute with no players in it, a dynamic zone will shut down and will be available to boot up any new zone. Static zones are started up with a zone shortname, so, assuming the shortname for the arena is 'arena', your boot5zones would be:

start zone arena MyIpAdress 7995 MyIpAddress
start zone . MyIpAddress 7996 MyIpAddress
start zone . MyIpAddress 7997 MyIpAddress
start zone . MyIpAddress 7998 MyIpAddress
start zone . MyIpAddress 7999 MyIpAddress

when the zone is empty it resets and waits for a new zone to be loaded.

you can run as many static as your system will hold. start with 7995 and go up one port per. i have 5 static and 5 avil atm.
