downloaded and installed it, opened it, wrote all the data needed to open database, click ok, window disapears, nothing else happens. Itemeditor process sits on memory.

3 questions:

is it a memory resident program? If so, what is the key to call it?

If it is not a mem resident proggy , is it suppose to behave like this?

All I got is "uuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm". That is all. What OS are you using, information? Narrowing it down....

sysadmin · #4 03-06-2005, 12:51 AM

Windows XP, running 6dr2 + peq5.8 + perl as per one Malignus tutorial. All is working atm and I am working on adding fixing doors and adding classic quests content.

Same thing happened to me. It acts as if the program is still running although the window never shows up.

sysadmin · #6 03-06-2005, 03:12 AM

hopefully it is something we missed.

Ok, sorry for the wierd reply the last time, I won't explain that. Is it not showing at all or do you get an options dialog and then nothing? Hmmm I actually just duplicated the error while writing this up. What I did was not enter an interface file into the options dialog. While this should have attempted to load the Default.ini and if it failed that should have given a messagebox and then closed the application, it did not. This was working before, but maybe I made a last minute change or something that broke it. If this is the same scenario you all are having, please delete your settings.ini file and in the options dialog, load \ui\Default.ini as the interface file.

I did exactly as you asked, deleted settings.ini, used the default ui file as you asked, opened item editor, connection window opened, typed all info, used default ui file, click on ok, window blinked and stayed open. item editor is loaded and I can see it on the task manager but does not show up on windows GUI.

I tried different combinations of misinformation.

- Incorrect MySQL information, this resulted in a refresh of the Options dialog, after repeating this step Item Editor crashed.

- No EQ directory, Item Editor loads properly, but EQ Icons ands Spellsare unavailable.

- No UI file, Item Editor loads, but the interface is distorted.

This is all that I came up with. Do you have the following folders: Help, Load, Saves, UI and the following files in the main directory: ItemEditor.exe, libmySQL.dll, readme.txt, settings.ini (after running)?

sysadmin · #10 03-06-2005, 07:40 AM

Correct I have all those directories and the files, the only thing I can think of is that the eq directory is in a different drive, but that should not make any difference. Also I am using the same username and password world.exe is using to open the database, used root before but it seems the item editor does not like empty passwords since it re-opened the connection window.

mangoo · #11 03-06-2005, 07:43 AM

I don't think that should make a difference. Try loading without a specified EQ directory. Also, did 3.0 work okay for you?

P.S. this error "- No UI file, Item Editor loads, but the interface is distorted." has been fixed for 3.2 =)

sysadmin · #12 03-06-2005, 07:46 AM

did try no eq dir also, I am deleting this item editor and will download it again, maybe it got jacked somehow.

Edit:

I deleted and reinstalled, same thing, but another thing I noticed is that the CPU usage goes to 100 as soon as I hit connect in the connection window.

mangoo · #13 03-06-2005, 07:51 AM

Are you connecting to a remote database?

sysadmin · #14 03-06-2005, 07:57 AM

database is in same pc item editor is installed on, I just created a different user/pass for item editor same level as root, makes no difference.

mangoo · #15 03-06-2005, 08:01 AM

Are you using an internet ip address or "localhost". What I'm fishing at is it sounds as if Item Editor is working on loading items. It receives about 700kb from a populated items database. And say you're upload is about 13kb/s, then it will take a little while to load and may appear to be hanging.
