The Seg fault on zone seems like the player packet size problem around while back. There were several threads posted on it.
I think Ratt left the fix that has been posted on this board out of the CVS because of the way the fix was implemented. Hunt around the dev boards for the seg fault when zoning threads and see if you can find the correted player packet post.
I dont think its a 100% corrected yet but it may clear up the crash issue you are seeing.
I am not using the current version of the cvs. Im using the previous to it with one of the earlier patches added in. I used also added in the patch from this thread and it works great. I havent had a seg fault in well over a month.
If you are constantly segging, you might want to try to update from the time that the libEQ.cpp was released and manually update from there.

I think that this is why that patch didn't make it into CVS.
I don't like what this patch is doing...
It's just blowing out some of the settings and making them 0. It's not harmful if you apply the patch, but I don't think I want to include that in CVS at this point, just because it would be a pain to track them down later and fix them.
To search, or not to search,--that is the question:--
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous flaming
Or to take a look at the search function,
And by using it, end them?
If you patch your files you need to force everything to rebuild.
So...
make clean
make
make install
If you really want to be safe you want...
make distclean
make -f Makefile.dist
./configure
make
make install
I can't count how many times I've changed something and then gotten pissed off cause it didn't work only to find I hadn't done a make install of the new version.
I was lucky I guess.. I unzipped Zoolander's files in my /src directory, did a make ; make install, and it runs fine.
Had the same problem with seg faults after clean install with Zoo's 06202003 patch
I did a fresh install and forgot about that other patch that did everquest.h (or whichever) 06252003.diff
All good now
Also ...
/em pray to the gods that someone changes that libeq.h / libEQ.h issue
though I've been bitten enough now I might actually remember.
It does work but it seems kind of unstable. It closes on me from time to time even without zoning.
Hope someone will come up with a fix soon.
I'm not sure what I'm doing differently:
I was "patched" and working fine before the 7-10 patch.
After 7-10 patch, I found the new opcodes.h and decode.cpp file that was posted back on 6-20 as a fix to test server users that everyone says works for them, did the full make process from "make distclean" to "make install", and I still only get a mapless GPS with no skittles.
Does anyone know what I might have missed?
Thanks.
Thank you who_me_use_seq,
that was the thread i meant. And the points that Ratt said there are still in the patch ?

I did a normal CVS update last night (Friday), then applied Zoolander's 6-20 diffpatch, and everything worked fine.
I think, twice, in different zones i got that old bug that would shrink the map, but just zooming in made it all better
Thanks to the devs

I redid the CVS update, applied the patch, it works on some of my chars, but on my main it SEG faults on every zone.
I think it goes back to inventory, because I see alot of this:
"GDBM Notice: GetEntry: gdbm_open failed on file '/usr/local/share/showeq/itemdata.dbm': Empty database"
CharProfileCode (006a) (dataLen:4310 != sizeof(charProfileStruct):14302)!
happening just before it SEG Faults, and my dbm is not empty.

I did installed zoolander's patch and remade seq:
make clean
make
make install
It does work in some zones but in others it closes completely. In plane of storms for example, whether i enter the zone or i camp, run showeq and then log on.
I read that for some people it just giving errors. What do you mean by that? Does it close or does it give errors and goes on working fine? For me it can only work or not work at all, which is close.
Is there any way to make it just give me an error and go on but not close up on me?

When people say it SEG Faults, they mean it crashes and doesn't stay up.
Some have opcode monitoring and are watching where it faults so they can make the proper changes to the structs or the opcodes.
I am still learning this process too. Hopefully I can be of more use here when I am done with the major projects at work.
Has anybody come up with a fix yet to make seq stable?
