Hailing NPCs causes the zone to crash

[Dymerius]

This is an issue that I've been trying to puzzle out for the past few days.

I downloaded binaries for 0.7 build 827 and the server runs fine.

I downloaded the source for 0.7 build 827 and compiled it (I changed nothing) using Visual Studio 2005 Pro and it compiles Zone successfully. However, when I use this copy of Zone to run the server, if a player hails ANY npc (even NPCs that have no perl quests) the zone will crash.

I ran debugzone and when I trigger this error, I get a message from VS2k5 saying "Debug Assertion Failed"...

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Still trying to fix this problem. If anyone is able to do a successful build with Visual Studio 2005 Pro, please contact me via email (dwmaze at gmail dot com) if you wouldn't mind helping me out real quick. Thanks :)

You are using the only compiler that has this issue, only 3-4 people here use it and they cant find the issue either.

I did a debugperl build instead of release. Everything works fine.

Any ideas why it might have done that?

Also, are there any problems I should look for or anything I should be aware of with running the debugperl instead of release?

zone must be compiled as debugperl, world and emushare.dll can be compiled as release. If u compile zone as release then anytime u hail a npc with perl quest itll crash the zone period.

I was mistaken when I said this issue was resolved. Quests are still broken using the debugperl zone. Hailing an NPC will yield a response, but trading an item or any use of global flags seems to be broken right now. Any idea why that might be happening?

This issue was being caused by my plugin folder being empty.
