Having problems compiling zone
 

Hello, I am trying to make a server on linux since I have gcc and I am runing into some trouble. I have world working it connects to the net fine even with errors poping up in the compile, but I can't say the same for zone. When I get to database.cpp I get this error :

database.cpp: In member function `bool Database::GetInventory(uint32, char*, Inventory*)':
database.cpp:2902: error: invalid conversion from `const ItemCommonInst*' to `uint32'
database.cpp:2902: error: initializing argument 1 of `ItemCommonInst::ItemCommonInst(uint32, sint16, uint32, uint32, uint32, uint32, uint32)'

I found the code that is was complaning about, but havn't a clue as to what is wrong.

#ifndef WORLD
for(int i=0;i<5;i++) {
if (aug[i]) {
ItemCommonInst aug(aug[i]);
common.PutAugment(aug,i);
}
}
if (instnodrop)
common.SetInstNoDrop(true);
#endif

If anyone has any ideas please share.
EDIT: Ok I chaned ItemCommonInst aug(aug[i]); to ItemCommonInst aug(aug,i); and it was able to compile without any problems. That was the line giving trouble, but not sure if that is a good idea. Had some trouble with lib files but now I have a zone exacutalbe hopfuly it will work right.

The problem is that there's a new object being named "aug" and there's an array named "aug" there. I think the C++ standard says they are in seperate namespaces, but I get that error with gcc-3.4. I worked around it by appending an "X" to the name of the new ug (the one that's a ItemCommonInst, so we have:

Note that although this compiles, I have NO IDEA if it's what should be happening...

Since my Linux box is so terribly underpowered I've given up trying to build a server that works until I can find a P4 class machine with decent ram that I can afford.

Zone startup FAILED!
 

I got zone to compile but when I start it up I get these error's.

I guess the reason the zone bootup failed it because the SpellsMMF.IsLoaded() didn't load. What would cause this I got the spells_us.txt file in the sever folder. There were not errors when I compiled the ShareMem just got a few warrings not related.

If you got any ideas please post.

just a note, it dosent look like your using code from cvs...

its not gunna fix it, but you might have better luck.

What is your distrib linux ?

I have a Debian sarge core 2.6
With GCC 3.3.5 (perl and mysql up to date)
and compilation is easy, no changes, i have just "Make clean; make" and that work !
here my source : http://eqfroggy.ath.cx/download/EQEmuCVS_09.28.2005.rar
for spell error use the latest Spell_us.txt (that work!).

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.

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

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.

if (MaxSpellID == -1)
{
LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Debug, "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.

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

It is working
 

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;
}
