ShowEQ 5.0.0.21 (live compatibility for 5/11/05)

ShowEQ 5.0.0.21 has been released. This is my first official release, so when it bombs out, it's probably my fault. I don't have access to the news forum, so this is the best you're gonna get!

This works against live servers. Thanks to Doodman, FatherNitwit, and ieatacid for a lot of help with opcodes and struct changes.

KNOWN ISSUES

1) Right now there are problems decoding packets that have opcodes which end in 00. This is a net layer issue and I didn't notice it until last night. I didn't want to make a big net layer fix and still release this morning, so this isn't fixed. The only known opcodes that this effects are bazaar search and /deny. Neither of these are a big deal for seq, so I'm releasing anyways.

2) The spawn struct over the wire was completely redone. Not all fields that were previously mapped are known now. The missing fields weren't used in seq, so you should not see any loss of functionality.

3) All positioning packets have been redone with this patch. If you see any weirdness in positioning on your map, please please let me know. This is important and I did my best to make it correct.


Get the new release from the files section at sourceforge. If you prefer, anoncvs should be updated later today depending on how fickle sourceforge is feeling.

Wow, wasn't expecting to see this for at least a few more days. Thanks purple!!!! Now to figure out a way to get off work and give it a try :)

Purple,


I wanted to say great job on getting this out as soon as you did..


Halfoak

Wow.. that was fast. Thanks a ton Purple!

QInstant

Thanks purple! Great work! I was really missing it.

If you dont have one already, you should get a paypal account set up so we can offer you bribes...I mean donations.

Thanks purple!! works great, even on test =)

BA I agree on purple getting a paypal account, I'd love to buy him at least a 6-pack!

you rock!

I'm sure its something silly on my part, but I get

checking build system type... Invalid configuration 'i686-pc-linux-': machine 'i686-pc-linux' not recognized

when I do a ./configure

For grins, I tried a

make -f Makefile.dist all

but that didn't work either. (I removed the entire thing and re-untarred it for each attempt.

====================
update: I found it odd that it showed the trailing '-' so I looked at config.guess. If I ran is ./config.guess i686-pc-linux (with no trailing '-', it returned "i686-pc-linux-gnu".

Looking closer, it seemed it wanted to add a $LIBC to after the -, so I added:
EXPORT LIBC=gnu
to my showeq source profile and it all worked fine from there.

No idea why this worked fine with 5.0.0.20 and broke for me with 5.0.0.21

This worked for me though.

I got the same error, but "make -f Makefile.dist all" worked for me

[root@localhost showeq-5.0.0.21]# ./configure

amazing job

The difference between 5.0.0.20 and 5.0.0.21 is that I made this one and I've never made a release before. I'll see what I can do to fix that for next time. autoconf is not something I have the slightest clue about *grin*

And I appreciate the donation offers, but I don't want money. I want seq to work!

Wow! Compiling it instead of using a premade compile runs a whole lot smoother. Impressive work. Thanks for a job well done.
