6.2-DR1 Perl Working

Ive noticed alot of posts about people not being able to get zone.exe to compile with perl and still be able to attack targets.
Well I finally got it to work myself.
I did notice that when I pulled the normal CVS branch I couldnt get zone.exe or world.exe to compile at all , but I then pulled the development branch and that compiled just fine. I then logged into my own server to test it.

I was able to create a character fine , zone fine , cast buffs fine , cast damage spells on mobs fine , melee attack mobs fine , buy/sell fine , hail targets fine , log fine.

The only errors Ive found are :

ZonePerl.exe gives : Unhandeled Incomming Opcode: OP_AnnoyingZoneUnknown

Here is a link to download my compiled version.

(new compile and have tested for over an hour with no errors or crashes)

Thanks man! Can't wait to give this a shot when I get home from work today!

np , let me know if it works for you.

Blaah..Zoneperl is crashing while trying to enter zone. I will keep trying though..Keeping my fingers crossed..

Hmm , I havent had any crashing problems. It could be due to the one error message I listed earlier (not really sure). Guess I'll go and try to make it crash and see what output it gives.

getting the same issue with the crashing perlzone. can get to character select screen choose character,but when i hit enter world it boots the zone up then throw's a M$ error saying zoneperl has encountered an error and needs to be shut down. After this i can reloggin and the next zone window boots up fine but eventually throws a M$ error and closes out.

Awsome! Thank goodness there are people smarter than me!! I can't wait to get home and try this out!

Ok I got it to crash for me :) here is the recent output from zoneperl.exe

- and then crash.

When I did a debug it came up and hilighted

int32 GetNPCTypeID() { return npctype_id; } // rembrant, Dec. 20, 2001

now Im no programmer , so I'll fiddle around and see what I can find. But I was in game for about half hour until it crashed. (I had 5 zoneperl.exe running , and was randomly zoning around and it crashed while #repop'ing halas)

- hopefully this build will work for someone other than me , otherwise Im just gona feel stupid.

OP_BecomeCorpse is missing from ./opcodes.cfg

Use the newest opcodes.cfg from CVS.

As for the crash, that looks like specific mobs are causing it to freak out. What db are you using?

Im using the PEQ_Velious_RC1 db

I know on my end i got this error

Code:

[Status] WARNING: error compiling quest file quests/thurgadina/Lorekeeper_Einar.

pl: Perl runtime error: syntax error at (eval 7859) line 67, near ".)"

syntax error at (eval 7859) line 75, near ".)"

 (reverting to default questfile)

i attempted to edit it and fixxed a few of the errors for this file but this one i can't. with the Lorekeeper_Einar.pl in the quest folder zone crashed everytime i would enter the game or try to zone. i removed the file and have not had an issue entering the world nor zoning and i bounced all over using #zone and no crashing. So either this crash is seaming to be very random now if not at all.

That error is with the quest itself.
I have recompiled the sources and played for over an hour with no problems and reuploaded the file. Also the download link is updated to reflect these changes.

Did you forget to zip up your newly compikled EMUShareMem.dll or is the old one still ok? I know a lot of data structures that world and zone use are used in the dll from the "common" source code.

I used my opcodes.cfg with all the errors in it..Came from the original release.. Working like a charm now!! Thanks!

aw crud i did forget to put in emusharemem.dll , updated again :)

and glad to hear its working - I forgot I messed with opcodes.cfg earlier - so that may have been it.
