Can't enter world/Zone.exe crash

[Jujubeez]

Hey we are debugging it now, but we get the assembly code and not the actual functions. Visual Studio says something about not having symbols loaded. What are we doing wrong? If we can find the function I think we can fix this. This is our call stack below. Thanks for your help!

There's two options.

1) Build a debug version - easier to debug, but may not crash.

2) Change the release version to include debug information - may be more difficult to debug depending on where the crash is.

To make a debug version:

• Change the dropdown at the top of the Visual Studio window to Debug or DebugBots, whichever is appropriate for your server
• Build the solution
• Copy the files from the Build directory to where you run the server. Zone and World will have different names, and you will need the ZonePerl.pdb file as well
• Edit the batch file you start the server with to start WorldDebug instead of World
• Edit your eqemu_config.xml file. Uncomment the <exe> element in the <launcher> section and change the name to ZonePerl.exe
• Launch everything and debug again

To add debug information to your release version:

• Right-click the Zone project in the solution explorer and choose Properties
• Under C/C++ -> General, select Program Database (/Zi)
• Under Linker -> Debugging, change Generate Debug Info from No to Yes (/DEBUG)
• Click OK and build. You may need to force a rebuild if build doesn't generate the files
• Copy zone.exe and zone.pdb from the Build directory to where you run your server
• Launch everything and debug again
