problems with an unmodified from source build of zone.exe

[Whuppee]

Thank you for your reply, but I don't believe we're on quite the same page here.

I originally downloaded my binary from the eqemu downloads page (link). I'm quite new here.. so the binaries I downloaded happen to still be the newest on the list (12/25/06).

These run / work.


I then downloaded the source (from the same page and date).. which, when compiled, should be turning out the functionally-same binaries that I downloaded.

However, the files created from this source don't work.


Thanks for your time.

You still must execute any SQL statments in the change log from 12/25/06 till thye date of the source you downloaded.

Issue resolved.

How? Wish I knew. Updated to the just-released binaries.. made sure they ran without issues.. then recompiled the source that came along with them and substituted that build for the downloaded one. Was expecting it to fail just as the previous attempt did, but this one strangely succeeded.


Thank you both for your responses, all the same.
