step 1) i downloaded a program it's a free macro recorder. the name is autohotkey.
i chose the installer option.
step 2) after i installed the autohotkey program i made a .bat file. i did this by opening notepad and this is what mine looks like:
taskkill /f /im DW20.EXE
taskkill /f /im CoAccountServer.exe
start E:\Lineage2\mycoserver\zfserver\GameServer\CoAccou ntServer.exe
ok what this does for other dummies like me is, it finds the error message in the computers processes the first one is the error message it has to shut that down if it is running or in my experience the new account server it opens will fail to connect cause the old one won't be fully closed.
the next line kills the currant 5065 server process. ok people may ask why this is in there because if you close the error message then there is no need to close the process again but i will explain it later.
the last line of the .bat file opens the account server again. just change it to the location of your account server's AccountServer.exe file.
with that done save it as whatever name u want, just make sure it ends with .bat
now to make it easier for the auto hotkeys to open it i experimented a little bit and found that if you put it in the start menu it is a lot easier for the program to select it than putting it somewhere and haveing the program open all kinds of folders to do it.
step 3) i opened the autohot keys recorder. a window pops up. one of the options is to record. here is where you want to be very accurate in what you do. try to do everything you need to do perfectly and kind of slowly also.
here is what i did.
when i hit record i then waited like 5 seconds then i pressed my keyboards windows button to bring up the start menu. i then clicked on the .bat file i created. the .bat file did what it was supposed to do then when my account server came up i wated like 5 seconds again then i deleted the ip that was there by clicking in the external ip box then useing the backspace key to delete it. after it was deleted i put in my ip address then i clicked start. then i minimized the account server when it connected. then i pressed stop to end the recording.
step 4) in the auto hotkey window it shows u what it recorded. well i found out that the program moves way to fast sometimes and doesn't w8 for the next step long enough so i changed all the instances of wait. example: wait 800 i changed the 800 to like 3000 then i clicked save. and chose a location to save it. and closed the recorder when it was done saving.
step 5) now i opened the auto hot key converter to .exe program and used it to convert the file i saved to a .exe file i found it necessary to enter the capital N/A in the lines like the program suggests. then i converted it.
step 6) i went to my control panel's scheduled tasks and i scheduled the .exe file to run daily. as you continue to go through schedule wizard it gives u the option to open the advanced properties tab when completed i checked that box and finished. when the advance tab came up here are the options i chose i chose to run it every 10 minutes, wake up my computer to run process. run the process for 24 hours i unselected end process if running, i unselected both of the battery boxes and then i clicked apply and save.
this has worked very well for me and was a huge relief when i came home and found that the log in was running and i had more people online than ever. i use windows xp pro and i have found that the auto hotkey program doesn't work well on some computers with vista. i hate vista and i don't know why it has issues. i will probably get flamed for this but like i said this is a dummies fix for it and so hence i use it and it works for me. hope i helped you. any problems i will try to answer them for you. goodluck.
