World Crash Rebooter

[John Adams]

I cannot seem to d/l from your links. Mind if I mirror them from my site when I do get them? Unless they are changing rapidly, we could mirror when you are done.

Spider,
Yea I noticed that too - and I think I know why - i'm actualy surprised it's not broadcasting 3 times tbh.

I'll work on playing with that and get it to broadcast only once.

I guess it could be seen as a 'feature' in that if you're in the midst of battle-spam you may not see the 1st one! =)

John,
the links aren't changing. they're from my server, I just keep posting them so folks don't have to go hunting through the threads - but you're welcome to mirror them. Let me know if you're still having problems.

I got them that time, thanks! I'll throw a link to them in my d/l section and try and keep them updated with your releases.

Sounds good. The link should always be the same - so that should make it easier for you too!

noticed a problem i had a zone crash today and when i looked the box was up saying zone.exe crashed it was my static zone it reloaded as dynamic but still it did not kill the crash message or restart the zone i only had 20 out of 21 loaded.

i don't know if its something with the static zones or if its a bug though i have not had time to even look at the code.

anyways thought i would let you know.

note when i told it don't send to the error message it reopened the static zone. alone with the dynamic of the same name because someone was in the zone when it restarted.. but im pretty sure that was eqemu rebooting the crashed zone after i closed the error message.

This is a known problem in eqemu. Any crashed Static Zone will reboot as dynamic on the next highest port number that has not been used yet. Was told that it would take some major work to correct this problem.

Yea i've seen that too even before I started this proggy, so I'm sure Aramid's right. Sometimes I look at the status page and there are say 29 out of 33 zones running. clicking on '29 zones booted' and it shows 33 zones up. still haven't figured that one out yet. =)


When you say it didn't kill the crash message - are you talking about the popup error message box that windows shows?
If so, next time you see one, look at task manager and see if you see a process 'DW20.exe', or 'VSJITDEBUGGER.EXE'. Let me know which one you find, and also what buttons are on the popup window - ie SEND, DON'T SEND, etc etc (and which - if any) letters are underlined. I'll need that info to adjust my code to make sure it clicks on the appropriate button.

I've updated it again:

Fixed code that was killing zones that were not really hung
Log will now report that it is tracking a hung zone and the pid of the zone. Check against task manager to make sure it's at 49%+ cpu usage. if it drops back down to 0, log should report 'zone appears to have returned to normal.' and no longer track the hung zone.

When minimized it will sit in the system tray, until you click on the system tray icon.

Added an icon to make it look prettier.
