Have you tried deleting your files and re-installing? Works for everything else I've had a problem with.

Does this release include the fix for an issue with the network code for people using routers and dynamic IP's ect that was posted in one of the boards a while back (cant find it anymore =/)? That seemed to work for a lot of people, and using a router myself would like to be able to host a server again =)

Yes, if this gets fixed, I will worship a new deity, Image.

Tried the network thing last night here's my setup :

2 XP pro PC's Hooked together using a Hub, One PC Sharing it's internet connection (cable) with the network (has 2 NIC's in it).

Installed the EMU on the PC which has the internet connection.
Friends from the outside connected to it fine (tho they got booted off after a while, think that's because the PC I was using is only a P2 350

)

I got exatcly what Trumpcard was saying on the Linux forum.

Quote:

The behavior Im seeing is that once you login, and try to pick the worldserver in the server list, I'll get 10-15 Logged in: LS#106 Trumpcard messages, this is happening in client.cpp. The login in wrapped in a big while with a switch.. The log on is never completing so it never gets to sending the list of guilds..

Guess it dont work yet

This is an ancient problem that I dont think ever is going to get fixed in the EMU, the emulator binds to INET_ANY rather than a specific interface on your MASQ machine. Theres a code fix that solves the problem for most of us on Linux (I haven't used it on a windows box since version 2.something), but it works fine on mulithomed Linux boxes. Personally. I think there should be an option to pass into the emulator (say in addon.ini, or loginserver.ini) where you can specify which interface to bind to.

The work around is this.

1) Go get a dynamic dns name (www.dyndns.org is a good one), get one of there automatic ip updaters while you are at it, then your dns entry will get updated anytime your ip changes.

2) In your internal machines /windows/host (/windows/drivers/etc/host, your location may vary depending on your version of windows), map your INTERNAL ip address to the dns name you created. For instance, something like this

192.168.0.1 firewall.dyndns.org

Reboot after this to make sure.. Then try pinging your internal box dns name and verify you see the internal ip rather than the external.

for those that dont know how to ping, you should if you know how to set up network sharing so I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader to figure out.

3) When you start zones on your firewall box, start them with
zone . firewall.dyndns.org 7995 firewall.dyndns.org

This work around works for some people, not for others. There is a code fix posted in the Linux forum that should work too if you know how to recompile.

http://freshmeat.net/

I updated eqemu yesterday morning, it showed up early this morning. Im going to have to learn to update freshmeat late at night, so it will be one of the last ones put in the next morning, and it might actually show up on the front page for longer than 5 seconds.

Madforit · #24 11-13-2002, 02:57 AM

Thanks Trumpcard, I have seen that way explained somewhere on this forum

Dont think I will try it untill I upgrade the server box next month. The poor ole P2 just cant hack it me thinks

quester · #25 11-14-2002, 07:32 AM

Can you tell me which of my fixes/additions were included in this release? I saw no mention in the changelog of any of them.

I just want to know so that I can make new diffs for those people who are upgrading and want those fixes/additions. Also so I know which ones I need to reapply myself.

Drawde · #26 11-14-2002, 09:08 AM

0.3.12 seems much stabler and less "laggy" than previous versions for me.
However I'm still encountering the non-randomised loot and merchant crash problems, both with my DB and others.
Is there any chance of these being fixed in the forseeable future?
If not I'll probably give up on my DB work for now (I suppose I could still work on adding some more spawns for Velious etc. but I wouldn't be able to do the loot for them.

Nobbe · #27 11-14-2002, 11:53 AM

When will the classguild training be fixed? and the archery? :o

Trumpcard · #28 11-14-2002, 12:10 PM

The problem with loot drops is right here in loottables.cpp.

if (RunQuery(query, MakeAnyLenString(&query, "SELECT lootdrop_id, item_id, item_charges, equip_item, chance FROM lootdrop_entries WHERE lootdrop_id=%i", lootdrop_id), errbuf, &result))
{
delete[] query;
while (row =mysql_fetch_row(result))
{
if(rand() * 100 < atoi(row[4]) < 10 ? 10 : atoi(row[4]))
{

int32 itemid = atoi(row[1]);
const Item_Struct* dbitem = database.GetItem(itemid);

Its only adding one item to the loot table for the mob on spawn, the 1st item in its loot table list... It doesnt seem to be running through the loop properly...

I'll see if I can fix it..

Trumpcard · #29 11-14-2002, 03:18 PM

Found the bug....

This is in loottables.cpp

if (RunQuery(query, MakeAnyLenString(&query, "SELECT lootdrop_id, item_id, item_charges, equip_item, chance FROM lootdrop_entries WHERE lootdrop_id=%i", lootdrop_id), errbuf, &result))
{
delete[] query;
while (row = mysql_fetch_row(result))
{
if(rand() * 100 < atoi(row[4]) < 10 ? 10 : atoi(row[4]))
{
int32 itemid = atoi(row[1]);
const Item_Struct* dbitem = database.GetItem(itemid);
if (dbitem == 0)
{
cerr << "Error in AddLootDropToNPC: dbitem=0, item#=" << itemid << ", lootdrop_id=" << lootdrop_id << endl;
}
else
{
ServerLootItem_Struct* item = new ServerLootItem_Struct;
item->item_nr = dbitem->item_nr;
item->charges = atoi(row[2]);
item->equipSlot = 0;
(*itemlist).Append(item);
}

BUG RIGHT HERE>>>>mysql_free_result(result);
BUG RIGHT HERE >>>> return;
}
}
mysql_free_result(result);
}
else
{
cerr << "Error in AddLootDropToNPC query '" << query << "' " << errbuf << endl;
delete[] query;
return;
}

return;
}

No wonder you only get one item, the mysql result is freed after the loop is executed once.. Delete the mysql_free_result and return, and you should see loot drops with more than one item. I'm not 100% positive the rands are working as intended, but that will at least give you the full run through of the items on the mob to determine if they'll get added to the drop list.

So I wasn't just imagining things.. Good work fixing that bug, hope the fix is in the next EQEmu version (I can't get the EQEmu source to compile with my old copy of MSVC++, so can't fix it myself)
