cannot get packetcollector to populate textfiles nor upload

[AverageJoe]

Hello,

I recently found this site and am quite interested by your project. My main interest is the packetcollector and I was hoping to contribute to the db, however, I cannot get it to work properly.

I've used lucy's item collector without issue, so winpcap is up and running fine. When I run your packetcollector, I get the following data:

Error: InflatePacket: inflate() returned -3 'unknown compression method'
0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 - DA 00 55 06 01 01 0E 00 | ..........U.....

It then displays info about my guild, including guild MOTD. So, it leads me to believe it is working, however, I then get:

Decompression failure: Must be running at time of zone entry!
Error: size > left (size=139, left=32, opcode=0x20f. Dumping remains:

16: 42 00 00 00 00 E7 00 00 - 00 00 CD 02 00 00 15 9C | B...............

Now, if I run packetcollector before zoning, I get tons of those 'must be running...' messages, over and over. I only get that msg once, right after I zone. Then, I keep getting those 'error: size > left' type messages, over and over. When I hit ctrl-C I get:

Got signal: 2
Failed to connect to database: Error: Access denied for user: 'items@cpe-my-i-
p-here.my.domainname.org' (Using password: YES)
Not connected. Cannot upload items.
Not connected. Cannot upload texts.

I then check the txt files that are made and they're empty. I figure the fail to upload might be that you guys are releasing a new version and needed to change acts/pwds, but why don't the txt files get populated?

I tried everything, between sending links to my char via tells as well as hitting bazaar and normal NPC vendors in bazaar. I also zoned to 'the nexus' to no avail.

I run packetcollectore -d # my.ip.add.ress for my internal network. I have to specify -d else it grabs the firewire adapter. I tried using my external IP address, but it doesn't show anything on the screen for output. I have a run of the mill, cheap-ass internet gateway off my cable modem.

Any help, would be most appreciated!
