I still use the old school method to start and stop the server with two simple batch files. Just put them in the main server
folder and away you go. It runs the shared_memory before loading world. Been using this method for a coon's age.
START.BAT
Code:
@echo off
start loginserver.exe
shared_memory.exe
ping -n 4 127.0.0.1 > nul
start world.exe
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > nul
start eqlaunch.exe zone
start queryserv.exe
start ucs.exe
STOP.BAT
Code:
taskkill /IM queryserv.exe /F
taskkill /IM ucs.exe /F
taskkill /IM eqlaunch.exe /F
taskkill /IM Zone.exe /F
taskkill /IM world.exe /F
taskkill /IM loginserver.exe /F
