the timeleft error is caused from a field missing in the spawn2 table.
Open mysql and add this to your DB.

ALTER TABLE spawn2 ADD COLUMN timeleft int(5) NOT NULL default '0';

that fixed the error for me.

The minstaus error is in the items table, to fix it open mysql and add this-

ALTER TABLE items ADD COLUMN minstatus tinyint(3) unsigned default '0' after raw_data;

I was having a population error in zone.exe .
This did the trick .

Thank you tcsmyworld !

thanks alot tcs, im gonna try that after i am done posting,

The thing is I haven't done any editing to the db though. It is all the original data.

Yes, but the binaries he posted require changes to the database to work.

Instead of launching zone.exe with the typical boot5zones.bat file:

start zone . 192.168.0.1 7995 192.168.0.1 etc etc

I created a new batch file that had it load a specific zone instead of the autozone thatit normally does.

start zone qeynos 192.168.0.1 7995 192.168.0.1

When I then launched bootazone.bat lol the zone file came up briefly and had an error but closed so i ran it again and took a screen shot when i looked atthe error it talked about something with object.

I then:
ran mysql.exe
use eq
delete from object; which deletes all entries within this table

after doing that bootazone.bat worked fine and i ran boot5zones.bat and was able to log in and play and everything.
so my question is two-fold i believe object is simply like ovens and what not is this right? and second has anyone else had any problems with this?

Thanks once again TCS, you are fast becoming my hero (who was that masked man - or girrr!!)
