Problems with 6.0

[Elkay]

Couple problems I've encountered so far. Got the latest CVS, compiled fine after the second update hit SF. Ran the SQL update for WR. Launched World and Zones, everything appeared fine, stating it was running 6.0. However, I get to server select, and I see a couple 6.0 servers, yet mine still reports 5.9dr3. I was still able to connect to my server, get to character select, however as soon as I tried to get into the game, I was booted to server select and I noticed that the Zone.exe that World tried to send my character to had closed (assuming it crashed). Not sure where to go from here since I can't see any error codes, it just closes down the Zone.exe silently.

A little extra information:

World.exe shows right before the crash:

Enter world: Toonx: podisease (205)

Zone.exe displays (before it closes):

I have been running fine since 5.7 .. then 5.8 .. then 5.9dr1/dr2/dr3 all without problems up until now. I also tried creating a fresh character from scratch and upon trying to enter Gloomingdeep got the same problem.

[Elkay]

Just an update.. I sourced a clean database and ran the emu.. was able to log in fine. I also verified that all of the table changes took in the sql updates, and they did. Knowing this, either some data somewhere in my database is no longer compatible, or there is some specific piece of data in my database that most poeple don't have but I do, and the code does not support it for whatever the reason. I'll try to narrow it down today 1 table at a time. :?

[Elkay]

Ok I've been messing around with it for a while now. I've narrowed it down but have no idea why what's breaking is. I can load any zone fine that has no mobs in it, but as soon as I try to zone in with 1 mob in the zone it won't load. I tried an interesting experiment. I wiped my entire spawn2 spawnarea spawnentry and spawngroup table, and removed all records from npc_types except for 1 mob with ogre race that I set to ID 1 with 0 faction and 0 loot. I zoned into gfaydark and loaded fine. I issued '#dbspawn 1' and the mob was spawned fine. I issued '#npcspawn add' and it said it added the spawn record successfully. I issued '#repop' and the zone repopped without the mob spawning, which is normal but I had forgotten that. The zone did not crash at that point however. I camped, and then tried to load back into gfaydark, at which point my Zone.exe closed (or silently crashed). I'm pretty stumped at this point and starting to think the problem is in the code and not in any of the data I am using. Anyone else having this problem? I also compare all of the spawn and npc tables to the barebones database and all columns are the same, though a few are in a different order in my database (AC being the last column and lastname being right after name in my database).

Edit:

Ok I may have figured out the problem, but I can't test because World.exe crashes on my now. Apparently I downloaded from CVS mid update, so some of my files were not updated. Weird that it still compiled with no errors though lol.

[mystic414]

I'm having the same problem. If I start up zone.exe from the command prompt, it only gets as far as "loading doors" for the particular zone before it just silently crashes.

I'm pretty sure the problem isn't that you got your files mid-update, because I got mine pre-compiled from CVS.

FYI, I'm using the PEQ Classic database and I sourced the wr_update.sql mentioned on the main page.

[Edgar1898]

Could both of you post the last couple of lines from your eqemudebug.log file. It should be located in the same directory from where you are running the zone. I dont have any of those problems (or I would have fixed them).

[zephyr325]

I'm having the problem where I create a brand-new 6.0 DR1+ db as shown, I can create my character, the client hangs. I'm using the current compiled source code.

Note - I was having a different problem (the zone would show the client getting disconnected almost immediately) but I patched the client and now I'm getting something different in the zone window.

Any thoughts here?

[mystic414]

Could both of you post the last couple of lines from your eqemudebug.log file. It should be located in the same directory from where you are running the zone. I dont have any of those problems (or I would have fixed them).

Here you go:
2004/10/16 21:11:49 GMT: Zone 8780 crashed. Errorcode: 1/6. Current zone loaded:neriaka. Current clients:0. Caused by:

That's the only error in the entire log file, just repeated 5 or 6 times. There is nothing after "Caused by:". Let me know if you'd like any more info.

[Edgar1898]

could you run this sql query and paste the resullts:

desc altadv_vars;

[finwe]

i have a problem with 6.0 precompiled version too... alll works fine but when i chose the charapter and click enter world i got black screen and nothing loads... world.exe windows shows that:

Attempting autobootup of felwithea (61) for Finwes
Zoneserver SetZone: 212.170.xxx.xxx:8780 felwithea (61)

And i always get the same result when trying to connect.
world loads nice and boot5zonees too but i have this problem. I have client patched to live. Any clue????

Tks

could you run this sql query and paste the resullts:

Also, as another test, I patched fully to live, can log into the "regular" everquest, but I can't get into any 6.0DR1 server.

Ed, I've fixed this problem but am onto the next problem I have where nothing crashes now but my client hangs at a black screen zoning into most zones if there are any mobs in the zone. I have that discussion going in a different thread. The problem I actually had here was that my copy from CVS was missing a couple updates. Guess I jumped the gun by a couple minutes and caught it mid-update. Now onto the next problem.. lol.

[Edgar1898]

Most (if not all) of the zone crashes that result in a 1/6 errorcode is causes by an incompatible database. Make sure you have done the sets outlined here:

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's something DB related. It's just a matter of finding out what. I've done that conversion from 5.9dr3 to 60.dr1 so many times restoring it from testing what's broken that I'm sure I got the process right and could probably do it with my eyes closed lol. It's definitely a spawn related issue, as I have no problems anywhere if I remove all the spawns from the zone. It's just a matter of narrowing it down now. I thought it was pathing for a while but it was too inconsistent with my testing to be just that. I'm thinking I actually have a couple problems that together are making it hard to track down. I'll keep you updated.

I just dumped my DB last night, and recreated according to the instructions posted on the database thread. This is a brand new fresh database. =/ As you can see, it's not just me having issues logging in to my server here. Just get dumped back to the server select screen with a 1017.

I had set the server to use minilogin, but have since reversed the changes made to do this.

Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

I run the Xothins Playland server. =)

[Edgar1898]

you forgot to remove the ServerType variable from your variables table. You can just rename the value to anything except minilogin and it will work again.

[Elkay]

Lol yeah I had run into the same problem. Took me a good 15-20 minutes to remember about that variable lol.

Most (if not all) of the zone crashes that result in a 1/6 errorcode is causes by an incompatible database. Make sure you have done the sets outlined here:

http://www.eqemulator.net/databases_v6.php

Edgar - Here's the steps I've followed:

Database
=======
- Blown away the database & created a new one
- Loaded up the PEQ_Classic database
- sourced the files listed on the 6.0DR1 DB page (aa_levels, altadv_vars, wr_update) => No errors observered
- Ran the sql command the world.exe process requested (about 'unknown008') => No errors observed

Client
====
- patched my client to live EQ to make sure its current

Server
=====
- Grabbed the latest software from WINCVS/compiled


Observations
==========
- I still get the black screen after I create a character and try to zone in (see detail below).
- When trying to zone in, the client will do a (quick) load of the first completion bar, will pause for about 10-15 seconds, will NOT do the second load I usually see, but just go straight to a black screen.
- Also, I get the same symptoms when trying to log into anyone else's 6.0DR1 servers.
- There's nothing that goes into the server error log

One thing I've noticed - when I run the process to load up the barebones database, I zone in fine and everything works as expected. Its only when using the PEQ database that I run into this.

Thanks for all your help with this.

I too am running into the exact same error when i left Erudin palace and into the heavier populated mob zone. Things seemed ok until then. I too am running 6.0 dr1 and had problems on other peoples servers, at least two others i tried, especially when zoning.

enable berserkers and it will fix this problem

[zephyr325]

enable berserkers and it will fix this problem How do you do that? I'm assuming its a sql/database command? I did a search for "enable beserker" and couldn't find a match.

[Snoopdog]

I have no idea either, pretend i know nothing. Which is very true. What is the actual command ?

[schoppew]

i think you have to put a 255 in the variable table under expansions

[zephyr325]

i think you have to put a 255 in the variable table under expansionsIf it is that, here's the command:

update variables set value=255 where varname like 'expansions';

That's already in my database; it's step 16 in this post (on page 6, Chrysm's post).

[Elkay]

Mine has always been set to 255, same black screens. That's not the problem.

[Xothin]

I too get these occasionally, with or without the 255 variable set.

Normally this happens after I've attempted(and failed) to load in due to some other issue with my DB.

To correct it, normally, all I do is reboot the system that EQEmu is running on and everything works normal.


After updating to the latest compiled release and getting the error about the rezzed field not being there, I started getting the black screen on login. I rebooted the system, and on the next login everything was fine.

When fighting mobs with pets, if you kill the pet first, you cannot kill its master afterwards, unless it summons another pet.

I've noticed that when fighting a mob with a pet, when the pet is damaged by you, its not reflecting that its the pet, but its master instead. The pet itself takes the damage, but EQEmu does not show in the log that the pet is the one taking damage.

IE - I fight an Innoruuks Chosen who has an SK pet. My damage shield is constantly beating on this pet(and showing as though I'm doing the DS damage to the mob), and it dies before the chosen does. I can no longer do any damage to the chosen. I feign, wait for the mob to go back to spawn and recast a pet. As soon as the pet comes out, I break feign, and attack the chosen again, I'm able to do damage to the chosen now that another pet has popped.

Interesting.. I'll try that tonight just for the hell of it. I haven't rebooted that box in probably 3 weeks.

[zephyr325]

Agreed - I'm going to try that now. If anyone wants to test to Zorpomatic server at about 2:00 PST CST and post back here to see if you can login, we can see if that clears the issue (I don't have access to an EQ client at work).

[Xothin]

Sounds like me until I started running EQEmu... now I reboot that box every day or so. ^.^

I tried this when i got home today, when going into Erudin Palace i still get....

Over and over again, but some zones seem fine.

[Elkay]

Ok tried rebooting the computer, still hanging at black screen on zoning in.

[Snoopdog]

I have the same problems, showing BL pet errors. I also tried rebooting and both server and client, same thing. I have some time this weekend to mess with it but i know nothing about SQL, at least not yet.
