Still no mapping on Test?

I've made all the opcode and structure changes I could fin.. also tried the latest CVS (as of about 2 hours ago)... I still can't get even basic Mapping/GPS working on Test Server. Has anyone else on Test managed to get anything working? Or are all these changes only good for Live?

I don't normally play on test, but i fired up the test server, and created a character.

showeq seems to work exactly the same on test as on live for me.

Thanks for checking that for me.. I do appreciate it. Have you made any changes to the latest CVS? Trying to get an idea on whats wrong on my end. I know its not my network because 1) It used to work before the PoP changes, and 2) I can see network status showing packets sent/rcvd.. just nothing seems recognized by SEQ.

what symptoms are you having?

are you _sure_ you are using broken decode mode (showeq -b)
because that is the answer to 99% of the problems we have seen people have in the last 3 days.

quester, have you tried these:
make distclean
make -f Makefile.dist
./configure
make
make install

I make it a habbit of always doing "make distclean" every time cvs is updated just to make sure all new files get compiled... the compile scripts sometimes skip files that should be re-compiled. If you are already doing this, then just ignore me please :)

With above don't forget to add your global variables for gcc

No, I've been doing:

cvs -z3 update
make clean
make

"Symptoms" are quite simply, nothing working at all.. Packets come and go, but nothing is done in SEQ. The map doesn't load, I get no unknown spawns, hell even the EQ time is "12am" all the time.

I did not start with the -b, but I selected Broken Decode in the interface.

I'll try both of the above and see how that goes. I'm thinkign maybe I should do a full clean checkout again too.

check out the faq...

Code:

---

# make -f Makefile.dist
# CC=gcc3 CXX=g++3 QTDIR=/where/is/qt2 ./configure
# make && make install

---

i have a feeling if you do the first part right, you will have better luck.

Well, I saw no reason to do a configure again just for an update..

I guess its a symptom of my "semi" linux knowledge. All the other apps that I run, an irc bouncer, and a few different servers, whenever I update them, I just do a make clean, and make.. never had to redo a configure. So I "assumed" same here.. well we all know what assume does.. sigh.

However, now that I have done that.. my mysterious problem of QT errors has returned.. arg

Must be something about the configure that causes somethign to go astray.

Just make sure you have the correct qt version that the install file says to have. I cant remember it off the top of my head, but it should be right there in your cvs checkout location.

It is the correct version.. same version I used when SEQ was working.. Its just one of those days I think.

I don't want to speak to soon, but I think I fixed my QT problems. I "think" it was accutally a simply matter of putting the trailing / on the path. I noticed Fryfrog's quote from the FAQ does NOT use the trailing / on the QTDIR, and I was using it.

It SEEMS to be compiling fine now.. we'll see what happens, but i'm crossing my fingers :D
