Caster/Spawn Shells

[e@tme]

Hi,

I did try searching for this, but didnt come up with any good answers.

I am trying to cut down the amount of data that is shown in bothe the spell cast window and the spawn shell. I only wish to have certain headers, and can sucessfully trim the list down as necessary.

The trouble I am having is that I have to do this every time I start SEQ. How can i get the settings to remain permanent?

I have tried to save all settings etc... but with no joy. Is there any filers that I have to hand edit to make sure that in the case of the spell cast window I only have :

Spell | Target | Time Remain

and the Spawn List :

Target | HP | Race | Class | .......


Thanks in advance (and sorry if there is a topic already on this, but I did try a number of searches :)

Are you running the latest version of seq? This has been fixed recently, probably within the last 2 weeks.

Thanks dedpoet for pointing out the obvious ;)

I suppose I should have checked this really - I was on 4.2.5.

Anyhow - Thanks again ;)

[e@tme]

I have just done the cvs update from 4.2.5 to 4.2.9, have the correct libeq.a etc...

Everytime I selsct a character from eq login, and then start to load zone info (map appears on SEQ) the seq window shuts down.

If i try to open it up again, it closes almost immediately.

Any suggestions?

Cheers in anticipation

Well, with the vast amount of information you have provided us, I would say the answer is 76.

[high_jeeves]

Wrong again Cryonic! Its 42!

Jeez..

Sorry - Been a long day in the office :(

I think the answer is probably 69 but.....


I did try also using S_B_R's handy util but it also made the problem a lot worse



Heres what I had :

SEQ version 4.2.5 with current libeq.a.

All was working finw with exception to not being able to save spell / spwan shell headers

Heres what I did :

$ cd <your_seq_dir>
$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected] :/cvsroot/seq
$ cvs login
Hit enter when prompted for a password
$ cvs update
$ . /opt/bin/useqt232
$ export CXX=g++3
$ export CC=gcc3
$ make -f Makefile.dist
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

Everything appears to have compiled properly - no obvious errors.

The Issue :

Fire up SEQ
Fire up EQ and log in
select EQ character
> at this point, map appears on SEQ machine for about 30 seconds, then SEQ crashes out

EQ continues to load and does so sucessfully

If I try to restart SEQ whilst EQ is still loading, then SEQ crashes

If I restart SEQ after EQ has loaded, SEQ stays up with no zone info / mapps et al

If i zone to load maps ets... SEQ crashes again

I have ried to run cvs update twice - still has the same issues


Questions

1) Is there any crash file that I could interrogate / pass on to you guys who know a lot more baout SEQ than i do

2) any install logs i can look at / for?

3) A version of SEQ that I can roll back to?

Thanks

What exactly does your terminal window say after EQ dies? Segmentation fault? Bill Gates was here???

The root of your problem will likely be listed on your term window. Give us a copy of what that dumps.

Damn - File seems tro be a bit emtpy. Gimme 5 mins and I'll have that fixed (Grrr) - too late and need sleep hehe)

[e@tme]

Second Attempt ;)

[e@tme]

Also figured why i wasn't getting console output - was running seq from a shortcut (windoze hehe)

did the following:

/usr/lib/bin/showeq

and got the following output :

Well, now that we finally have some information on what is happening:

You need to run a backtrace and post the results. Please search for "backtrace" or "core" for information on how to do that, and examples of other peoples posts. That will help us diagnose, or the devs fix (if it is a bug) the problem...

Since I saw a seg fault message, I looked at some of the other seg fault posts.

Get this.

Just as a side note, i have already tried to startup and run SEQ with the ./showeq -i eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

and still get crashes

[S_B_R]

What util of mine are you using?

Somewhat OT, next time you post a Backtrace, disable smiles in your post... ;)

[e@tme]

S_B_R,

Sorry - forgot about the smiles ;)


The util I was referring to is the one at the bottom of your post ;))

[Zaphod]

Did you copy your old seqdef.xml over the new one that 'make install' installed? If so, then rerun 'make install'. You need to be using the current version of seqdef.xml with the current version of ShowEQ. The only way I can see the behavior that you are mentioning occuring is if you are using an out of date seqdef.xml file or manually deleted all of your categories.

Enjoy,
Zaphod (dohpaZ)

[e@tme]

Zaphod,

Thanks for the input.

I didnt do anything other than run through the cvs update procedure. no copying files here or there.

I feel that I will prolly have to re-install from scratch :( although I would rather not

On a side note, will SEQ run on the same platform as say for example smoothwall?

[Ratt]

On a side note, will SEQ run on the same platform as say for example smoothwall?


In theory you could get it to run... but boy, what a major hassle that would be getting all the tools and libraries onto the Smoothwall box.

Use IPCop anyway.
