Trouble with zones

[Bandor]

I cant find any error logs anywhere. Just eqemu_zone log and zone debug logs.

When you updated your source, did you complete the auto-db update menu options to continue starting world? If you do not run the required SQL and then exit that menu, world will not load and zones won't be able to connect to it which will cause the launcher to keep booting them I think. I assume you are running the server on Windows. What does your world command prompt window say in it after you start the server?


Also, you increased your zone count in your launcher table and forwarded the ports in your router, but did you also increase your port range in your server config file to match?

Good call, it is also in your eqemu_config.xml file

To add to that, once you ensure the following:

<!-- Sets port range for world to use to auto configure zones -->
<ports low="7000" high="7100"/>
</zones>

Port range allows for enough ports are open to match the number of zones being used (or planned to be used), I personally wouldn't forward any more ports than necessary. You stated you had set ports 7000-8000 in your port forwarding.. that's excessive, unless of course you plan to have 1000 zones open.

Reduce the security risk, 100 ports (i.e. open zones & instanced zones) should very likely be plenty. (7000-7099 for example)
