Not decoding....

[cornholio]

Been out of the EQ game a few years, installed SEQ on my RH9 box.

Everything works but the decoding. I read in the faq that libEQ.a isn't needed anymore and that decoding should be automatic.

I've let the client sit in a zone for awhile, yet it never decodes. I'm running the latest beta from CVS.

Thanks in advance

Describe your network: If you are using a switch/router, it won't work. You need a true hub.

[cornholio]

both the boxen are on a hub.

It's seeing the datastream, player movement, etc all work just never decodes other players, mobs, etc.

Like the old "not having the key" thing.

What version shows up when you start it

I know you said latest beta, but it is always best to give the actual version...

That it is showing player movement says that it is seeing and decoding the stream. That mobs and other players don't show suggest you need to look at the terminal output for error messages.

Any unusuall messages on the console when you load?

edit: Running Suse 9.0 if that's helpful

[Cryonic]

Latest Beta is 5.0.0.8, you are running .7 which no longer functions. Do one of two things (Not Both):

1) Read the dev forum for the fix for 5.0.0.7 and 4.x
2) upgrade to 5.0.0.8 from CVS

[wyldkrd]

Thanks Cry,

editted out the everquest.h file and everything worked perfectly.

[junk]

Didn't take too much to figure out which guild you're in and what server you're on wyldkrd, might want to edit out guildspeak if you're paranoid. ;)

[wyldkrd]

didn't see a problem with a couple of hi's.. so wasn't too worried about it.. if it had been important information.. it wouldn't've been in there :)

[LordCrush]

Little annotation to Suse 9.0. Make sure you have run the lifeupdate after a fresh install. I had major slowdowns withs SEQ without the patches.
