Start_Zones problem

Well Ive decided to have every race/class/deity spawn in one spot. And ive made it in a unique stop in crushbone in the cave.... Ive modified the start_zones table with navicat and ive put these in .. x: 78.14 , y:366.23, z:-15.23 , zoneid: 58 , startzone: 58, i didnt touch any other column as i added these numbers to every record there...

Now when i made my level 1 high elf pally it spawned him right at the zone in of crushbone, every character i make it seems to be doing this. With the coordinates i provided it should be spawning the characters inside the cave of the crushbone zone... any suggestions on how i can make this work?

Figured it partially out... I had to edit the safe coords for the zone in the zone table ... but some races / classes show up in their actual city like Shar Vhal for a vah shir berserker or Halas for a Barbarian Berserker .. hmm

And im not too sure if this would solve my problem with certain class/races spawning in their real city, but im not too sure how to navigate through cmd through my C Drive hmmm... and i cant type in my world.exe prompt when its open ...

Open the command prompt and navigate to the directory in which your World.exe file is located in. Then type "world startzone zonename" without the quotes. There, done. Also be sure to use the zone's short name, not long name.

anyone able to lend a helping hand?

navigate with command prompt?

cd.. (that will back up one directory)
dir (that will list everything in your current directory
cd FOLDER (that will open a folder called FOLDER in your current directory)

so with some basic commands down.. here's an example:

open command prompt and you get..

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName>



C:\Documents and Settings\UserName>cd..   (press enter)



C:\Documents and Settings>   (this is what you'll get)



C:\Documents and Settings>cd..  (press enter)



C:\>    (this is what you'll get)

now to open your DB files.. lets say you had a folder on the C drive called SERVER and inside that you had a folder called eqemu_DB for your database then..

Code:

C:\>cd SERVER\eqemu_DB  (press enter)



C:\SERVER\eqemu_DB>   (this is what you'll get)

that's the basic and LONG way of doing it shown only to help understand how the command prompt works.

The short way to do the same thing?

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName>  (thats what you started with)



C:\Documents and Settings\UserName>cd c:\SERVER\eqemu_DB  (press enter)

Thats about it.

Now to do what Sonic was suggesting, just changing the red text to your directory for your EMU folder is (not your DB as shown above). Then type something like

Code:

c:\SERVER>world startzone poknowledge (press enter)
