What I did, was in the rule_value table, there is a rule that you can change to change the start zone. You simply go into your zone table and search by the zone name, and then go to the column labled zoneid and it use that number.
The command(s) for changing the base zones are:
Code:
World:SoFStartZoneID
World:TutorialZoneID
Those should be the two. There are a LOT of rules that you can change to your liking, you will have to just go through all 282 rules.
When you change the rules, this will not stop them from returning to thier "bind point" should they die.
You can run these codes in your DB to change the startzones for everyone by using command:
Code:
update start_zones set zone_id = 302 and x = -1480.9 and y = -1354.4 and z = 225.1;
update start_zones set start_zone = 302 and bind_x = -1480.9 and bind_y = -1354.4 and bind_z = 225.1;
#The first line changed all the start zones in my DB to to zone 302 (draniksscar) with the cords I chose
#The second line changed all my bind points, so this is where they are now auto bound should they die.
To change all of your zones that you are not using, you can change the client status of the zone(s) and then just go in and manually set the one(s) that you are wanting to use.
Code:
update zone set min_status = 250;
The status of 250 means you HAVE to have atleast a client with that status in order to go into that zone.
How to change the account status upon creation, I am not sure. I believe it has to do with the select_rank column under the start_zones table, but I am not 100% sure. Right now it is set at 50, which is enough for a few commands (Command levels can be changed via commands table).
You will just have to play around with it. But I hope this helps you just a little more in trying to get to where you are wanting.
Good Luck.
Post anything you find, as I am sure it will help someone out.
*EDIT* Not sure if this is relevant or not, but you can change the status from legit, to semi-legit, to non-legit by going into your eqemu_config.xml file and changing this line:
Code:
<defaultstatus>20</defaultstatus>
