Zone.exe crashing at Loading quests
 

Zone.exe crashes when trying to start up server.. get error, "Zone.exe has stopped working" "Close program"

Tried to load zone.exe in cmd prompt to see if I can tell what is going on, and all that I can tell is that it halts at "loading quests"

World.exe, eqlauncher.exe seem to load fine.

Windows 7 Intel 3.4ghz
Running Perl 5.12, thought it was a perl issue, I've tried version 5.10
mysql server 5.0
zlib

Anyone have any clue?

Tried to post the code but the forum is giving me an error. I have checked the code throughout and there is no form of [img], <img>, or smileys. Seems to be glitched out.

"You have included 5 images in your message. You are limited to using 4 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.

Images include use of smilies, the vB code [img] tag and HTML <img> tags. The use of these is all subject to them being enabled by the administrator."

did you compile yourself or are you using pre-compiled binaries?

32 or 64 bit?

Compiling myself. 64-bit. I'm using the 32 bit version of everything. I noticed on many post where people have been successful with windows 7.

Then you're using the wrong Perl version, install 5.14 on the machine that the server is running on.

Well I'm using an old build. In the code it calls for perl58 lib

//link against your Perl Lib
#ifdef WIN32
#pragma comment(lib, "perl58.lib")
#endif

I changed it to this:

//link against your Perl Lib
#ifdef WIN32
#pragma comment(lib, "perl510.lib")
#endif

So it would be compatible with the build.

did you try 5.8?

Yes. Anything else that would cause it to stop at that spot? Thanks for your help.

you compiled with 5.8 and installed 5.8 on your system?

what source revision are you using?

Trying 5.8 now.

I think that fixed it. I'll let you know.

Yea, that fixed it. I installed perl 5.8, thanks guys for the help.
