0.5.1DR2 snapshot while you wait.

[Trumpcard]

Until I can get the cvs import issue corrected (waiting on sourceforge support to process the ticket), here is a cvs snapshot to hold you over.

http://denial.dyndns.org/EQSource/eqemu051DR2.tar.gz


Changes include lots of crash fixes, pet fixes, performance fixes, and insertion of Eglins perl parser implementation.. (use -DEMBPERL and -DEMBPERL_PLUGIN to test it out/play with it. Its just in, still needs work)

NOTE : THIS WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE FOR A DAY OR 2, ONCE ITS GONE, DONT BOTHER ASKING FOR IT.

Trumpcard its great and all I just cant open it my compilers screaming at me saying it cant open (memshare, zone, world) sais they have a corupted project file??? what kind of things on my end could cause this and is this problem on my end most likely?

I even tried pasting your files in with my 5.1 in case mabe not all the files were included in your zip still no dice ill mess around with it some more but is this even compilable or is it just somthing we can use to check out the source with? and if so how do i open it to see it?

p.s. im using open project to open it.
p.s. open file wont work either

thanks in advance

[Trumpcard]

What are you trying to do with it???

Its a tar.gz file, you have to extract it first...

You have to un-gzip it first, then untar it... WinZip will do that...

[Wumpas]

Woot nope me no that green :D

I extracted it and put it in my cvs directory i use for eqemu right over my 5.1 its set up the same same directory structure i dont see what could cause it

C:\EqEmu\cvs\eqemu\EQEMu Release

C:\EqEmu\cvs\eqemu\NewSource

no dice yet ive redownloaded reetracted made sure subdirectory structure stayed intacked im at a loss here

ok got a more detailed reson herer i clicked help in the error box sais this

The project system was not able to open a project from a previous version of Visual C++ in Visual C++ .NET. Possible reasons include:

A valid project file was not specified.
The project did not contain a Win32 platform configuration. In order for a C++ project from a previous version of Visual C++ to be opened in Visual C++ .NET, there needs to be at least one configuration with a Win32 platform target.

[Trumpcard]

No idea, works fine in linux.. compare the old project file to the new one, maybe its goofed up... This is the exact same code that would be pushed to CVS so dont see what it should be any different...

[Wumpas]

LOL here I go headfirst lets see if i can work it out inside of 6 hours LOL

hehe eqemu sure is great to have on a snowy day. keeps me busy :wink:

[Eglin]

Works great. Thanks.

Those wishing to play with embperl under Windows will need to add the embperl.cpp/h, embparser.cpp/h to the _zone_ project in addition to defining EMBPERL and optionally EMBPERL_PLUGIN. Also, command.h is included twice in command.cpp. You will need to remove the _first_ #include statement to avoid conflicts.

[Wumpas]

Im so glad that someone that knows what therer doing figured this out id never have discoverd that Thank you Eglin :D :D :D


Now to implement it hehe. chalenges chalenges

thank you for figuring this out I was so exited to see the dr2 but my spirits sank when i couldn't open it hehe now therer back up

Compiled great. Now to give it a try

[cybermax]

Compiled without errors, and everything seems fine, but i got problems even getting into a zone..

Pls.. if any of you got a spare minute, could you take a peep at my post : http://www.everquestserver.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11372

I just dont know what i do wrong to make the CVS versions this unstable.. :(

[Wumpas]

Ok eglin I folowed all your steps except

Defining EMBPERL and optionally EMBPERL_PLUGIN

Im kind of green to this so bear with me please

How and whare do I perform this step? everything else went easy I added those extra members (corect term?) to my project file and that went smooth.

thank you for the help

[Eglin]

Defining EMBPERL and optionally EMBPERL_PLUGIN

Im kind of green to this so bear with me please

How and whare do i do this step? Right-click on "Zone" in the solution explorer inside Visual Studio. Select "Properties". In the left tree-view, select C/C++->Preprocessor. In the right pane, add EMBPERL,EMBPERL_PLUGIN, to the list of defines.

Of course, you don't want to define these guys if you don't already have Perl (http://www.activestate.com/Products/Download/Download.plex?id=ActivePerl) installed. You will also need to add Perl's directories to your search path in the same way that you did for zlib.

[Wumpas]

Woot i figured it out i did a build option from inside the project files instead of rebuild solution and i selected release configuration and it compiled :D :D :D :D :D

SO HAPPY IT WORKS


playing it right now :D :D :D

Thank you trump and whole team

Shit.

I missed the snapshot file. I just installed a new linux distro (Mandrake) and I am having errors in my compiles. I kept suspecting a pathing issue with my new installation, but then I saw something about the CVS trouble. Now I'm not sure where the trouble lies. I have not gotten a new changelog.txt file from CVS in about 3 weeks.

I wiped the entire CVS download folder and got it all again. I tried compiling it and recieved an error and I tried compiling the source from sourceforge page, and got the same errors. In zone compile I get an error in ../common/crc32.o and in world I get the same error.

Ok, updated this before I posted it. That file did NOT exist in my current CVS folder, but it did in my backup folder, copied it over and everything compiled ok. strange. Any ideas on why I'm still showing an "old" version of the source from CVS? any help is appreciated.
