zone.exe closing

kipmon · #1 05-18-2003, 06:57 AM

Whenever I try to run my own server, the zone.exe file gets screwed up and closes. Everything else works fine.

zone.exe

Code:

Using database 'eq' at localhost
[STATUS] CURRENT_ZONE_VERSION: EQEmu 0.4.3
[ERROR] CURRENT_ZONE_VERSION: EQEmu 0.4.3
Usage: zone zone_name  address port worldaddress

At that point it closes.

Any clues? Also, what order should I run the files in? World Zone Boot5Zones? etc? Thanks

did you modify your .bat file to have the right info in it, ie IP and what not?

Posting some of your config files might help...

You dont run zone by itself, thats what the zone.bat file is for, starting the zones...

The zone error is because you are trying to click on zone to start it, it requires command line paramters (like in the .bat file) to start properly...

the order is

minilogon - > world - > boot5zones.bat
