zoneing crash useing mw_052_053_alpha2

[toolh3]

I based mine on time passed, that way it doesn't matter how fast your machine is. This code waits 20 seconds before it gives up. Note that if it does get a good zone id, it breaks out of the loop.

__time64_t curtime1,curtime2;
_time64(&curtime1);      
do
{            
   charid = database.GetCharacterInfo(char_name, &tmpaccid, &zoneID);            
   _time64(&curtime2);
}while(curtime2 - curtime1 <= 20 && zoneID == 0);

__time64_t curtime1,curtime2;
_time64(&curtime1);      
do
{            
   charid = database.GetCharacterInfo(char_name, &tmpaccid, &zoneID);            
   _time64(&curtime2);
}while(curtime2 - curtime1 <= 20 && zoneID == 0);

Has anyone using Dev-C++ or Win32 tried to compile using this? I get the following log when trying to compile:

Looks pretty simple to fix...but I know no C at all :(

Any help would be appreciated,

I seem to be having the same problem.

I've had a great time setting it up. I absorbed the boards and searched twice for all of my questions. I've edited database tables, added and removed fields. I'm having a great time!

I am not able to zone however. It's 4pm now and i've been fiddling with everything I could get my hands into all day. I've broke it and fixed it all day long.... Last night was the server set up.

I suppose the next thing to do is start playing with the code. That I will save for tomorow.

yikes, is this my first post?

Add this to the Client.cpp file for the world compile. Under case OP_EnterWorld: // Enter world.

Replace the Current call "charid = database.GetCharacterInfo(char_name, &tmpaccid, &zoneID);" with this

long LOCounter;
			do {
			    charid = database.GetCharacterInfo(char_name, &tmpaccid, &zoneID);
				LOCounter++;
			}while ((zoneID == 0) && (LOCounter > 10000));

This will call the database until the ZoneID is not equal to 0 or the counter hits 10001. You may need to tweek the counter number for your server depending on how fast or slow it is.

**SO

Id just like to point out that i was having the zoneid=0 problem, and was getting frustrated, Until i noticed that:
}while ((zoneID == 0) && (LOCounter > 10000));
should be
}while ((zoneID == 0) && (LOCounter < 10000));

Its checking if LOCounter is LESS THAN 10k and entering the loop if is, and increasing it by 1 every time it loops until its GREATER THAN 10k.

And that's rogean's math lesson of the day. tks

Hehe, I pointed this out about 10 messages ago - although to be fair my message wasn't very clear. Also LOCounter is uninitialised too in the version of code printed. Best add an "=0" to it's declaration.
