zone.exe crash on server startup can be easily fixed
I saw many people complaining about ZONE.EXE crash during server startup (i had same problem). I looked up into sources and discovered that this problem may occur because most people use latest version of MySQL (i use 3.23.54) which probably behaves differently from older versions.
Current version of MySQL returns 1 row of data (with NULL value) for "select max" query even if table is empty, this causes code in loottables.cpp to crash.
Here:
line 42:
max_loottable = atoi(row[0]);
i've changed to
if (row[0] != 0) max_loottable = atoi(row[0]);
same at line 60:
max_lootdrop = atoi(row[0]);
changed to
if (row[0] != 0) max_lootdrop = atoi(row[0]);
Maybe this problem is already fixed, but i'm letting you know just in case....
NOTE: Still, i could not make the game itself to work, zone.exe crashes when i finish character creation and enter the area itself. This is, probably, because i have latest EQ patch...
Is it possible to get an EQEMU compatible game version somewhere? because i dont have a game itself... i downloaded eqfull from SONY, but it seems unplayable without patching and if i patch, it still wont work because of incompatibility with EQEMU.
I used EQEMUPatcher, but, still, no results...
