Hey, I don't know what OS you guys are using, but with WinXP, or pretty much any other Windows OS, if your "Dos" windows which are launched from .exe or .bat (such as world.exe, boot5zones.bat) are closing immediatly after opening, a solution is to launch them manually with Cmd. First, go to START -> RUN, and type cmd. This brings up your standard Dos Command window, from here you can direct the prompt to your eqemu directory where you are trying to launch world.exe, and boot5zones.bat. Then you can just manually run it, note that you need a seperate copy of cmd (from START -> RUN) running for EACH instance of World.exe, and zone.exe. Then you can launch it manually, examples below.
I went to START > Run, types Cmd, did this three times so I had 3 windows running. I navigated them all to my c:\eqemu (or wherever its located!), then ran world.exe in one. And in the other two, I ran Zone localhost 7995 localhost (or whatever), for running Zone.exe directly, you need to pass it the parameters that are in the boot5zones, I dont have it infront of me at the university here, but it was somthing like C:\eqemu\zone 127.0.0.1 7995 127.0.0.1 , I also had another cmd window running for my minilogin too of course. Anyways, the main point is to launch everything from a command(cmd) window so windows dosn't close it automatically.
Sorry if I get technical, its what I do.....
