New Test Version #2

[cavemanbob]

New and hopefully the last test version for a while:

http://alteria.sf.net/myseq-test2a.zip
http://alteria.sf.net/myseqserverc-test2a.zip
http://alteria.sf.net/seq-maps.zip

Client Changes:
* Now takes one big packet for updates instead of lots of little ones.
* Alerts show up in bold on the list
* Listbox mobs show up in their con colors.
* Grab scolling of the map

Server Changes:
* Sends big packets now
* No longer pure C, uses some C++ now

Couple of other bug fixes as well

EDIT: Server recompiled without STLPort buillt in

[MrDoh]

I've downloaded the client, and the server, and both crash upon execution.

[MrDoh]

The first server complaint is "failed to start because stlport_vc745.dll was not found"

The first client error is app generated an exception that could not be handled.
I don't have the JIT installed so I don't get a full debug.

I also can't get the server to comple in VC++6, and I can't get the project file for the client to load in SharpDevelop. It actually makes SharpDevelop error when loading it. I was able to import your VS.NET project file in the last test version.

Crap, forgot I had stlport on here. I'll rebuild the server without it, Make sure you copy hand.cur over or it will probably do what you've described.

[MrDoh]

Ok, will wait for server...

Where do I need to copy the cursor file to??

[cavemanbob]

Same directory as the client exe

[MrDoh]

That's where it is...

Tell me where to get the JIT debugger and maybe that will help find the client problem. Do need the full .NET SDK for that?

Mr. Doh

[cavemanbob]

You probably need something out of the dev .NET SDK if such a thing even exists. If you can, try building the client with debug info and see if it tells you more. The non-stlport server is up as well as version test2a

[MrDoh]

Server: Failed to start... MSVCP70.dll not found

As for recompiling the client, I will need to find a make file and the command line options for the linker/compiler because I still can't open your projectfile in my IDE.

[cavemanbob]

A Staticly linked server is now up instead of the old test2a which was dynamically linked. name is the same. I'm not sure what the command line argument is to compile a debug version of a c# program is. csc /? wil dump all of them it should be easy to find. The exact format to compile the client on the command line was stated somewhere in the old thread, I can't recall it offhand though

[dsiroky]

My client crashes on startup, though the server starts fine.

I'll have to install the vs.net on monday, because I can't run it up in the debugger to work out why it's creating an app crash.

[cavemanbob]

The only way I've found to cause a crash on startup is if it can't load hand.cur. I'll put a new copy up that has a try, catch around that.

[Kizzy]

I am only on chapter 12 in my C++ book so alot of the code is still unknown to me. A couple months before I am any help to this project since I will need to migrate to C# after that. Anyway, great job and I appreciate the time your putting in. Time is money and I would like to donate to you Cavemanbob for what you've been doing. Its only fair to donate to you (and the SEQ devs) for something thats free that I use frequently. Open source or not

Anyhow, here is my client error on startup (using 2000). The only thing I get when I run the client is...

-----------------------------------------------------
Myseq.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Service

Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.

Process id=0x5c4(1476), Thread id=0x49c(1180).

Click OK to terminate etc..

---------------------------------------------------------

All other versions on this PC were working ok.

oh, I am currently just using the binary supplied. I have MVC++ and the appropriate .net resources installed but doing it the easy way. Still getting out of linux mindset.

[Stunning]

I get the same error as Kizzy upon start up.

If I can lend any assistance with more information please let me know what I can do for the project.

[cavemanbob]

If you were previously having trouble with the client immediatly crashing, try this version:
http://alteria.sf.net/myseq-test2a.zip

hand.cur is no longer needed either.
