If someone has this and needs hosting for it I will host it.

Here's my compiled version which uses a variation of screamingogre's fix for the zone_id=0 problem. You can get the world.exe file here. The only difference I made is that it waits up to 20 seconds to get a zone_id that's not equal to zero rather than running through a counter. Here is the code incase anyone is interested.

In client.cpp in the World project replace the line

Code:

charid = database.GetCharacterInfo(char_name, &tmpaccid, &zoneID);

with this:

Code:

__time64_t curtime1,curtime2;

_time64(&amp;curtime1);                

do

{                                

   charid = database.GetCharacterInfo(char_name, &amp;tmpaccid, &amp;zoneID);                                

   _time64(&amp;curtime2);

}while(curtime2 - curtime1 &lt;= 20 &amp;&amp; zoneID == 0);

Nothing fancy, just a quick fix for now so we can zone without locking up.

Edit: Removed link as the file has been removed. Look my post later in this thread.

By the way, I would only suggest using this world.exe if you are just running locally. If I understand the code correctly, that do while loop will be executed every time someone zones. So if you've got 2 people zoning and the first one ends up timing out (20 secs later and the zone_id still equals 0), then the second person has to wait 20 seconds to zone. Am I thinking correctly about this? I've just starting looking at the code today so I'm not exactly sure how it is working.

I just took the dr3 cvs source and that's what I used. I don't know anything about the perl stuff. Is that in DR3?

I'm looking into it right now. It seems I need to get perl and then change some build settings. It looks like it just deals with zone.exe.

Ok wize and I tested a few things to make sure quests are working before I posted the link to the binaries. The file is here.
This has a world.exe that has a temp fix for the zone_id bug and a zone.exe with perl quest support. I included EMuShareMem.dll just incase. It may not be needed. No support for these by the way! Just trying to help the few of those out there with some problems.
