Black screen of death is back.

It's back as of the last CVS update. Not sure what changed, but the problem had been fixed for a couple weeks and all of a sudden tonight it's back after I updated to the latest CVS. Zone shows the following:

For many, many lines before and after this. At the end I get:

Found a backup from a week ago and copied those back over, BSOD gone. Just a heads up since I figure you're in between updates right now anyway.

scaerick · #2 10-31-2004, 04:59 AM

yar, I'm getting that too. Got it after I recompiled from CVS last night. I'm going to go look in a bit.

Edgar1898 · #3 10-31-2004, 11:48 AM

I'm pretty sure I know whats causing it, I'll upload a fix to cvs within the next few hours.

scaerick · #4 10-31-2004, 02:39 PM

Turns out the problem was my inability to read simple english. I missed sourcing the LDoN sql. I'm fine now!

Thanks

Elkay · #5 10-31-2004, 05:49 PM

I'm sourced up to current with SQLs and still experiencing the problem. I'm pretty sure all of CVS is up to date at this point as well, as I saw your update propogate hours ago. Still experiencing the problem. I'm one to run a pretty customized database, so if it's a problem you think might be data related please let me know what you think you're fixing when it comes to that because I can verify whether my data corresponds to a code fix you make. My problem fix is "almost there" though, as I do get zoned in, but freeze almost exactly 1 second after I get into the zone and see mobs. Console from Zone.exe is as follows:

[Status] 476391 New client from ip:192.168.1.103 port:2114

I've tried this in multiple zones, some with pathing, some without, same issue. Let me know if I can provide you with any additional info. Thanks as always.

Somewhat odd, neither my live nor my eqemu copies of EQ have been creating dbg.txt files. Is there some option in the INI possibly that is disabling creation of that file? Never noticed it wasn't being used anymore until now.

Edgar1898 · #7 11-01-2004, 06:47 AM

could you email me your client's dbg.txt file? LethalEncounter@eqemulator.net

They moved it from the main EQ client directory into the logs subdirectory at some point, e.g. c:\everquest\logs\dbg.txt

Edgar1898 · #9 11-01-2004, 08:38 AM

one thing I did notice is that if you dont have any items the client doesnt send those unknowns. Try to change your characters id in the character_ table. (That will cause it to not send items assuming that the id that you change it to isnt in the inventory table.) Let me know if you still have the problem.

Elkay · #10 11-01-2004, 12:06 PM

Ok found the debug file, unfortunately it's from when I reverted back and ran successfully in game. Now I have no compile of the latest from CVS because what's on CVS right now has errors and won't compile. Next time CVS gets a clean update I'll try this out for you and send you the dbg.txt file too.

hypershadow66 · #11 11-01-2004, 02:18 PM

i have been having this problem with my server since i started and no new compile has been working

If we got a 6.0DR1 compile from like a week ago, will the black screen problem go away? and also, if its from a week ago, do we have to get rid of the whole LDON table as well since it was added just a few days ago?

Elkay · #12 11-01-2004, 02:53 PM

I didn't have to revert any SQL to get back to a working version.

hypershadow66 · #13 11-01-2004, 05:00 PM

Did you have the adventure table already added?

Elkay · #14 11-01-2004, 05:01 PM

Yep. Additional tables should not matter. You can have a table named poopie_poop_poop with column turd(float) and the program would still run fine.

hypershadow66 · #15 11-01-2004, 05:13 PM

ok i am gunna try to revert a while back and hope the black screen goes away
