Can we create a server with 0.5.5 DR1?

[DeathMan]

Please Tell me in full detail how....I patched and creating a server lower....well,that would be pointless....

Please.

[Monrezz]

No support for 5.5DR-1, so don't ask.

There is no point going into full detail, if you can't figure it out yourself you shouldn't be using a DR.

Just search and use the posts for errors concerning lower versions.

Is the source to compile for 0.5.5DR1 available? It doesnt seem to be in CVS so I assume not... but recent posts seem to imply otherwise.

[Monrezz]

Its avaliable off Shawns site, binaries and CVS.

Found it on search... thanks! Shoulda waited for your edit.

[tofuwarrior]

I know... no support.. but if anyone working on it wants to comment....

Got it compiled and sure enough I can make a characeter with latest client... but there was a failure when it was getting zone info from the database in Database::GetStartZone

On my system the line:

if(result) mysql_free_result(result);

called before row was used to getting starting point caused row to go out of scope and crash it. I moved that line to the end of the function and characters created just fine.

However, when I try and enter the game (into freportw) I get
Zoneserver SetZone: localhost:7995 freportw <9>
Enter world: testchar: freportw <9>
Zoneserver SetZone: localhost:7995 freportw <9>
Client disconnected

I first thought that the second setzone was screwing it up so I modified ServerOP_SetZone to not boot it again if it was already up.. but that made no difference.

I presume the version I downloaded today is actually working so perhaps my database is messed up? I grabbed latest MWNPCMOVDB and applied the .sql files on shawn's site.

! C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\EQEmu-0.5.5-DR1-Source.rar: Invalid or corrupt authenticity information


rar file corrupt?

[Trumpcard]

The source is on CVS in the NewSource folder. Grab it there...

[Conan]

Thanks Trumpcard!

[Maulgak]

ok so if i wait long enough they'll come out with a precompiled version for making a server? awsome

[Monrezz]

Maul: Yes, precompiled binaries will be released when the Devs think that it is stable enough so that you don't crash every other zone, and you don't get things like the spellbar bug. They aren't going to release binaries until major bugs are fixed though, otherwise the forums wil be cluttered with more junk just like day after a patch :roll:

[Maulgak]

thanks, sorry for my ignorance

[massa]

i don't think he meant it that way 8)

the only stupid questions are the ones not asked....

[TheEvilTwin]

Can anyone send me the compiled versions? Ive tried six different ways and programs and its all messed up. PM me for email address =)

[samandhi]

The binaries were take off the site, because too many people were asking for support for something that says in big letters "NO SUPPORT". So, unfortuately if you dont know how to compile, then you will have to wait until the binaries are released and that version becomes supported (read becomes a release not a Developers Release)....

[RexChaos]

Seems to me there's an equal number of posts asking them to compile the binaries as there was for support with the old binaries. :)

[samandhi]

Well, I would imagine that when the DR becomes stable enough to run without a 2000% increase of support requests just because of THAT, they will release it...

Sounds fair to me....HURRY UP DAMN IT! ;)

/em goes back to twiddling thumbs...

[Armanthuz]

Thought id mention its extremely rude to ask developers to "hurry up"

If your that impatient, spend the time learning how to program and jump on board..

I thought I'd mention that there's a thing known as sarcasm as evidenced by the winking emoticon. The "hurry up" comment was meant in a half joking manner.

No thanks on the invite to program. It's not my thing and never will be. If you get 5.5 working you can send me the files though. I'd let you.

[Arremis]

Hey it's me again....

If your that impatient, spend the time learning how to program and jump on board..

I think I'll just do that....other than MySQL, what other programming do I need to know?

And by the way, how do you do the "RexChaos Said:" in your quote thingy?

Arremis - The most techinical term you will ever use in your entire technical career is when you describe something as "that THINGY"

[samandhi]

I think I'll just do that....other than MySQL, what other programming do I need to know?C/C++

And by the way, how do you do the "RexChaos Said:" in your quote thingy? When going to reply look in the lower left corner there is a link labeled BBcode and it takes you to a page on how to type some {tags} for this forum like the quote thing and text size and color and so on.

[DeathMan]

Well,Ive seen random servers come up...and they are 5.5.1.DR`

Are these made by Admins or Mods or something?

[RexChaos]

Most of those new servers have come from a collaboration of "noobs" and non-devs on these boards. :)

Special thanks to Nilar (binaries), Tertiary (binaries), Jezebel (tutorial), and Ripmage (hosting) for their assistance.
