Having problems compiling zone

[dclark]

I have Fedora Core 4 and gcc 3.4.2. I tryed your source still needed to make some changes not as much, but still be the same error.

I tried changing to a different linux box. It is Red Hat and has a gcc version 3.2.2. It complied everything with no error's what at all, but I still get the same errors when I boot of zone as stated above. I used the source from cvs this time. The problem seems to be with my spells_us.txt file. My windows server runs fine with it, so why wouldn't linux.

[Belfedia]

Are you use spell_us.txt from last patch from sony ? that work fine

[dclark]

Yes is before 9/13 my window server works with that file, but not linux for some reason. I would like a linux server because I can do compiling on it.

I founded out why zone failed to boot up I was starting the zone wrong. I was doing ./zone compID . 7790 compID when I needed to do ./zone . comID 7790 compID. With that said I still have problems with spells_us.txt. It does read the file and get the max spell id, but then something goes wrong. This program goes all the way to my cout << SPDAT_RECORDS; and then prints out the error message. This code is in net.cpp, function void LoadSPDat, and at line 746.
This is the zone output.

and this is the code.
sint32 MaxSpellID = GetMaxSpellID();
cout << MaxSpellID; //ME
if (MaxSpellID == -1)
{
LogFile->write(EQEMuLog:ebug, "LoadSPDat() MaxSpellID == -1, %s missing?", SPELLS_FILE);
return;
}
cout << "(Max found)"; //ME
#ifdef SHAREMEM
cout << "(NEXT)"; //ME
if (!EMuShareMemDLL.Load())
{
cout << "(In the if statmant)"; //ME
return;
}
SPDAT_RECORDS = MaxSpellID+1;
cout << SPDAT_RECORDS; //ME
if (EMuShareMemDLL.Spells.DLLLoadSPDat((const CALLBACK_FileLoadSPDat)&extFileLoadSPDat, (const void**) &spells, &SPDAT_RECORDS, sizeof(SPDat_Spell_Struct)))
{
spells_loaded = true;
}
else
{
SPDAT_RECORDS = -1;
LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Error, "LoadSPDat() EMuShareMemDLL.Spells.DLLLoadSPDat() returned false");
cout << "(Am I an this error)"; //ME
return;
}
If anyone has any ideas please share. I realy don't understand why this error is happening.

[Belfedia]

yes, for spell don't use spell_us.txt before 09/13/2005 but LAST spell_us.txt (from fresh patch) that work better

[dclark]

I got it to work. It now loads. I added bool FileLoadSPDat(); after my cout << SPDAT_RECORDS; because the code would go to that point print out the return falas error. I am very happy I can now log in to my server and do something and with the ablity to compile.

SPDAT_RECORDS = MaxSpellID+1;
cout << SPDAT_RECORDS;
bool FileLoadSPDat(); //This fixed it
if (EMuShareMemDLL.Spells.DLLLoadSPDat((const CALLBACK_FileLoadSPDat)&extFileLoadSPDat, (const void**) &spells, &SPDAT_RECORDS, sizeof(SPDat_Spell_Struct)))
{
spells_loaded = true;
}
else
{
SPDAT_RECORDS = -1;
LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Error, "LoadSPDat() EMuShareMemDLL.Spells.DLLLoadSPDat() returned false");
cout << "(Am I an this error)";
return;
}
