Default Installation missing zlib-ng1.dll

Hi,

I am trying to install the egemu server to create my private server. The eqemu install bat starts fine and then somewhere mid point it ask for the above file. I have looked at the zlib download and that does not contain that file. So I am abit stuck whether this file is included and how to get it/fix it.

The installation was based on a clean windows 10 installation.

When I run world.exe it states the same message.

I hoping for help .

zlib-ng1.dll ?

Are you sure about the name of that file ? I've never heard of it personally and can't even find it existing on the internet, lol. Zlib1.dll makes more sense.

Absolutely. I did the same search both on the web and the forum and got to the same conclusion as you. I havent figured out how to put a screen shot in this forum, but I have it .

What is weird is that I tried yesterday to install on an "unclean/old" windows installation. There it hadnt that issue, it had some other ones. So I started today on a clean installation and then this problem pops up

It’s new as of yesterday. Should be in the bin folder.

I can confirm. Clean Win10 install with the first thing ran as admin was the eqemu_install bat file.

I just downloaded a new installer - ran it. Same mistake as Bytebait again. The Zlib-ng1.dll is not in the bin file.

Same issue here.
Just updated my Windows server to the commits on Feb 23, 2021.

Grabbed the latest commit with the perl script: eqemu_server.pl
and selecting: windows_server_latest

and now get this error when trying to start the sever:


Running the perl script again: eqemu_server.pl
results in this error:


* zlib-ng1.dll is not found in the bin folder

I submitted an issue ticket on the Github

Did you try [fetch_dlls] with that perl script to see if it grabbed that file? Also, did you try grabbing the latest "stable" binaries, as opposed to the latest unstable ?

I have looked at eqemu github. They are aware of the problem. So I guess nothing we can do at the moment until they have approved a new solution.

Yes - I tried fetch_dlls. No go.

Grabbing the stable binaries results in a 0 byte file [master_windows_build.zip] and thus errors out in the script as follows:

Code:
Enter a command #> windows_server_download
[Update] Fetching Latest Windows Binaries...
[Download] Saved [updates_staged/master_windows_build.zip] from [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Akkadius/eqemu-install-v2/master/master_windows_build.zip]

Once in a blue moon, a little unexpected glitch happens with that installer, but it's kind of like the good old days playing on live. Need a patch to fix the patch that broke the patch, hahaha
I always compile my own stuff, but I usually wait for awhile after an update. I want to see what side effects everyone has with the "vaccine".

I don't want to answer that too loosely, lol, but they are usually on it after priorities of RL are done for the day(or two), haha
