Launching the .bat and no server showing up

[joligario]

You are on a windows machine? Change the sleep.. windows doesn't have that command anymore. Use pause instead. This is mine (without the loginserver):

@echo off
echo Loading WORLD...
start world.exe
echo Waiting for WORLD to load...
pause
echo Starting launcher...
start eqlaunch.exe zone

You will need to press a key in the original window after world loads.

Did you remember to unpause your original window? Press the space bar.

For the eqtime.cfg:

1000
8
209
0
5
1600973
1259026482

And FYI, any characters that are created on your server will start out with default status of 20 instead of 0 because of your emu's config file.

How will I know if world successfully loads? It says it's at established the connection, does that mean it is finished? I have unpaused the window after that.. The issue Is loading the zones, I believe.
