World Crash Rebooter

[nosfentora]

You might want to try debugging the code in the
LoadRuleSets,
LoadVariables,
LoadRuleValues
subs - see if you come up with any errors or information there.
You might need to comment out the "<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> _" in MySQLTransDB.vb so the debugger doesn't skip over them.

i've been running the latest ver on 3 different machines, local, remote (same network) and remote (outside the lan) and have had no problems yet.

let me know if you need help - sorry this has been giving you trouble =/

btw - are you using Vista or XP?

[spider661]

im using xp pro and dont worry about it man.. if the tables do not list right thats fine i was ok with the restarted before you added the database stuff. i don't really need to know what info is set there its all listed on my site. its a great program im not worried about some database strings not working that i don't really need anyways.

but if i get some time ill debug it like you say encase others do have the same prob.

[nosfentora]

Cool - I just hate when something I build doesn't work right =)

let me know if you have any more probs with broadcasting or rebooting!

Cheers!

hey is there a way to port this to Linux?

i love the program but im having problems on windows so with the server upgrade im moving to Linux and would like to use a program like this still..

is there anything we can do?

[nosfentora]

i'm not sure how compiling the code directly in linux would work - as it's based off the .net 2.0 framework. i suppose it could be a command line driven program - but i have no idea where to begin.

the source is freely available if someone wants to tinker with it.

I'd like to share with the community an app I've been working on for a while.

It's still in the Beta phase and I'm sure has a few bugs here and there. Feedback is appreciated and welcome! I've been running it on my server for about a week and haven't had any problems.

I tried to capture all possible errors and have it write to error.log. PM me the contents of that file and I'll see what's what.

What it does:
Monitor:
* Monitor your server (running processes & uptime)
* Start & stop your server with the push of a button (entire server or parts)
* Auto close crash windows, auto kill hung applications (not only server components)
* Automatically load all launchers found and launch the one(s) selected
* Auto restart server on an interval
Maintenance:
* Update source (and source db) from SVN
* Update PEQ Database from SVN
* Update PEQ Quests from SVN
* Update Maps from SVN
* Update local database when update found (SVN & PEQ)
* Compile new binaries when update found
* Upgrade server binaries and *.conf
* Backup database

Coming:
AXClassic support
Other SVN compatibility (upon request)

S/W Requirements:
TortoiseSVN to update from the SVN
Visual Studio (2005 or 200 to compile
MySQL to connect to the database

Installation:
Unrar to any folder. Must be on local emu server machine to monitor / stop/start processes.


Download

anyone know if there is an updated version of this? I get an unhandled exception when starting eqlaunch. this seems like a really good program, and would like to try it on my server. any help would be appreciated.

[nosfentora]

can you pm me any more info? debug logs, detailed error info, peq rev, os, etc? i'll look into it as soon as i can.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

this is the error I get when I hit start world. world comes up, but eqlaunch doesn't. also it gives me errors on the first page when you try to broadcast anything.
EDIT:: oh and just double clicking on the executable gives me an "error initializing" box, but no debug info for that.

I'd like to look at the source, if it is still available.

[nosfentora]

@Sylaei: I'll post the link for the source tomorrow. (its for the old rev), i'll post a link for the new rev too.

@nightsta69: i'll look into it asap and let you know.
