OK I got the update too..Maybe I need it or something later for my new box.
Thanks soo much for this!

Ugghh, my zones are crashing totally when I hail something that has a quest, attack in melee, or attack with spells. Although, I can zone just fine.

What version of perl do you have when you compiled? I have perl 5.8. I hope the problem is something configuration related.

heh i should have left well enough alone lol. with the new uploads i can't even get in game with out crashing. when i do get in it crashes when i try to zone. Sadly i can't rember what i did to get it all to work right the first time around whaaaaaa. lol

well i figured out on my end what to do. kind of wierd but it works. Using the world.exe out of the non perl release and the perlzone.exe EMuShareMem.dll out of his compile. I have to wait for the first crash then relogin choose character enter game then hit boot5zones again (i only run 2 zone's) then all is fine. i can hail npcs with quest mellee attack and spell attack and zone with no crashes. till i close everything out have to do it all over again.

also using perl 5.8 here and when it crashes in the error window it is saying
app name zone.exe then something else about perl58.dll in the error report.

Wow..I just started mine again and it crashed the first time! Im thinking I didnt fix anything with the opcodes swap but I cant be sure..

Well Im starting to think its a fluke that it works on my end. Perhaps its because Im using MiniLogin? Guess I'll try using the eqemulator.net login server and check.

Otherwise I cant think of anything. I compiled the source using MS Visual C++ 6.0 and recieved no errors or warnings. Ive played on my personal server for well over an hour with no crashes (including hails , spells , attacking , zoning , #zone , #repop , #level , Create new Character , summon items)
Im using the PEQ-Velious-RC1 DataBase and PEQ Editor , with no other modifications.
... So Ive put up a quick site containing downloads of the stuff in my eqemu folder (along with perl58.dll). Some files are in .zip format to help with size.

The only thing I can say is try a clean install of everything and see if that helps.

OK..I replaced the first zoneperl I DLed with the third one you provided..So far no crashing. I camped/ect.. with 2 toons in different zones..Did a bunch of random stuff. So its lookin good..Knock on wood.

Bah you just broke it now :)

well i just fixed mine here and it was not the files.

i think it was an IO::Scalar issue. i saved an old howto for the 6.0 server and decide to reinstall IO::Scalar the way in that tut instead of the way i initially did it from a newer tut. Well i can now start it select toon enter world and no crashes what so ever starts up alot faster also.

so if any one whats to try if they are still haveing issues can try this

Open a Command Prompt (Start menu -> run -> type cmd -> hit enter

type

Code:
perl -MCPAN -e shell

It will ask you if you want to configure Manually. Say no.

RESTART YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE PROCEEDING.

When that is done type
Code:
install IO::Scalar

Glad to hear its working for you.

Yep! Still broke...I will try the scalar thing maybe..Ill have to DL all the individual files tomarro..Im just gonna quit for the night..

I have added the file I used to install IO::Scalar to the download site , it is IO-stringy-2.110.zip (which is from one of the tutorials on this site , just cant remember which)

Preliminarly speaking, looks like install io:stringy works for me.. I can attack and hail and not crash so far. I'm gonna test it for a few hours and see if its consistent behavior.

When everyone (or at least a few others) are able to have a stable server going , Im going to write up an install how to.

nope.. still crashes.. It seems to be random.. I bet if I keep stop and restarting my server, most of the time my zones will crash when i attack something, but sometimes it will work ok until i restart my server. Truly madenning.. hehe
