How to use these sniffers?

[Morannon]

I've modifed my copy of MQ to report the key - how do I actually use it in SEQ ?

If I start SEQ as normal, then it tries to handle all the info it gets, and I get a map that has coords ranging from -20000 up to +20000, needless to say its a tiny map !

If I enter the key at this point, it doesnt seem to do anything - nothing makes sense.

If on the other hand, I start SEQ with the --broken-decode option, or select that option from the menu before logging in, I get to use a normal sized map, but again, entering the key doesnt actually decode anything.

are you sure that u use the correct libEQ.a ? - make a search and remove any old and redo make

It has the same md5sum as mentioned in fee's Nov 1, 4.3.1 annoucement post.

I get the same results using any of the sources posted - so its not my changes to MQ that are causing the problem =)

Can someone say how the correct way to run SEQ is ?

Do I run it with the broken decode options, then enter the key and all is well, or do I run it normally, have it decode something weird, then enter the right key and it fixes itself ?

I'm still having issues, and unless I know exactly what I'm supposed to be doing, Im kinda stuck =)

The proper way to use showeq for manual key entry is to just run showeq without --broken-whatever.

Sounds like you have not compiled showeq properly. Just happens there is an update you can get, just follow these easy steps:

1) cvs update
2) make -f Makefile.dist
3) configure
4) make
5) make install
6) run showeq

Also there will be a new libEQ.a available, just contains some error handling routines to avoid bad keys.
