start zone

[Jest]

How exactly do you modify the DB to have static zones?
I have just been using the command line.

[Ven-elexver1]

i use Navicat and add both types of zones in it under Launcher for Dynamics and under Launcher_zones for static

[Jest]

So under launcher_zones what would I put in there?
Just the line tutorialb ?

Launcher just has the name of your launcher , default is zone and the amount of dynamic zones you want it to load.

launcher_zones contains three entries per line

launcher --------- zone ------------- port
zone ----------- tutoriala ----------- 7001
zone ----------- tutorialb ----------- 7002
zone ----------- nexus -------------- 7003

This makes the above 3 zones STATIC zones that will boot up and stay up when you start your server, even if no one is in them.

BTW: MySQL GUI Tools 5 are free and will let you work with your DB.

Yes, but you are talking about DYNAMIC Zones and I am talking about STATIC Zones. Apples and Oranges

yea just letting him know how to do them also. Only thing i do diff on static is in navicat i go to Launcher_Zones .

Launcher zone Port
peq poknowledge 0

Peq tutorialb 0


Mysql sets the ports auto but you must use short names for zones can be found in navicat under zones

Ven-elexver1, under Launcher all I have is
name:Zone
dynamics:25

Aramid, for static zones, can I leave the port at 0 to avoid me fubaring it up?

I've never tried it, but apparently you can. Only way to tell is to try it and see what happens.
