Automatic zone.exe loader?

[jimbabwe]

all you have to do is edit the launcher table. Add an entry. we'll name it peq and set it's dynamics to 6.

Then boot world. Then run from batch, from shortcut or from command prompt launcher.exe peq.

Tada!

launcher_zones is for if you want to add static zones I believe.

Sweet ! that got me going Thanks now i would like to add some city's as static
zones im just i do the same in launcher_zone and then put in same batch file but not sure if in batch i use the start.exe zoneneame. or make a list of zones and at end of them add lancher.exe zone ? but ill try both

[jimbabwe]

CREATE TABLE `launcher_zones` (
`launcher` varchar(64) NOT NULL default '',
`zone` varchar(16) NOT NULL default '',
`port` mediumint(9) NOT NULL default '0',

so all you need to is insert some info into your database.

The launcher column holds the name of your launcher from name.launcher
the zone column holds the number of your zone from zoneidnumber.zone
port column holds the port number you want that specific zone to use. I am not sure what you should put in this one. there is probably an acceptable range someone has listed somehwere.

so you'll still only end up needing to execute launcher.exe 'launchernamehere' and it'll boot all the static zones too

oops, I was wrong. I didn't even read that sql statement! It uses the zone shortname, not the zone id number.

[cavedude]

INSERT INTO launcher_zones VALUES ('peq','poknowledge',0);

Is an example of how to add static zones, just replace poknowledge with the short name of which ever zone(s) you want static. The 0 tells the server to automatically determine the best port to use based on your range specified in eqemu_config.xml.
