MySEQ v1.22 Bugs

[65536]

Version 1.22 looks very cool. I love the saved spawn timers and the new skittles. I found a couple bugs though when playing around with it.


When you have you have "Thin List" active it still displays the columns in the list and clicking on them causes a crash.
Many maps will not load all of their information. I seems to get to a line it doesn't like and stops loading the map.
Not really a bug but, there is no way to change the default map directory and some other options in the client UI.

Not really a bug but, there is no way to change the default map directory and some other options in the client UI.For this one, you can edit your "prefs.xml" file and change the <mapDir id="ref-10"></mapDir> tag to contain the path to your true map directory as a workaround.

[Seaxouri]

Please tell me a map that fails to load. I have never seen this and I've been using that code for 9 months.

Ill look into the Column click. I know I disabled some code there a long time ago and never fixed it.

Im not sure why someone would want to change the map folder. Is it because you want to point to the EQ map folder? I don't agree with having options for the sake of having options. I like a good reason behind having an option.

[Syn]

Personally, I do point MySEQ to EQ's map folder. It's one less folder to maintain.

[kublaii_khaii]

Same here - easier to maintain 1 folder. Small issue anyhow because you can edit it through the XML file - so it's moot.

[Seaxouri]

Its easy to add back in. I will do it. That is plenty reason to have the maps folder configurable to me. The other folders tho, are not.

[MacQ]

Twice I managed to get MySEQ to crash when turning on/off Thin List. Sorry but I have not found a pattern yet.

I personally don't mind editing the XML file to change things like the maps directory. I can't disagree it would certainly be more elegant to have a configuration setting, but I'm a bit old school and like restricting user options. Once on a rare occasion I yearn for the days of over controlling IT departments where everyone had a dumb terminal connected to the central mini/mainframe. Those were the days of simpler system administration ... users were kept under the thumb of the IT department. Today every joker in the workplace thinks they are an IT expert and wants control over their PC and application. Oh well...it's progress I guess. :rolleyes:

[Hidron]

I had the same crash with the thin list. Turned it off, then back on causing a crash the 1st day I was playing with it (Options > Spawn List Settings > Display Only Thin List). Since restarting the computer that day I have been unable to recreate the crash. The following information is from the log file created by the program.

I'm noticing that if you either:

1.) Tab in an out a lot

or

2.) Have EQ in windowed mode

and have MySEQ running in the background, it will eventually crash. However - I'm wondering if it's because the system that I run it on is a AMD dual core Windows Vista based laptop. The previous version didn't have anywhere near as many crashes - just an occasional hickup where it'd lock up - I'd have to close out of it, and restart it - and it'd work fine for say 4 or 5 hours where it'd happen again.

Another thing I'm noting is that if I have to zone a lot, (like if I aggro and have to zone out to clear it; and then accidently spin around in the wrong direction and zone back out again) what ends up happening is the section where the map should be just shows as a black box. I have to close the program out, and then restart it to get it to work right.

Other than that - works beautifully - color cons etc are working great! I'll continue to report issues as I find them.

Please note that I have 5 different log files where I've encountered this issue; I can either email them or post them here to be reviewed - just let me know which you prefer. Also - if it'd help - I can give you system specs for review as well.

[Seaxouri]

There is one intermittent crash that I see that should be fixed in the next release. It only seems to happen on really busy systems.

You can cut/paste any errors you see in the log file, or just snapshot the error if you see it popup on the screen.

Most errors you see in the logfile are okay. Like the missing xml file. Those were caught and handled properly, which is the way I want it. The errors that result in popups are the bad ones that were not handled and those I am interested in.

Usually a disconnect and reconnect should fix any map problems. The map is only loaded when a zonename change is detected, and its actually on the server side, so if there is a messup and the client misses the zonename change, the map will not be loaded. There is currently no way for the client to force the server to resend the zone information. I came across this a little late in the game, and it requires a fix to the server to correct. The workaround is very simple, just disconnect/reconnect. Once you disconnect, the server resets and will send new zoneinfo once reconnected.

This is a handled error and should never cause a crash. I should change it to a warning. Everyone gets this on a fresh install.

Same thing - repeats over and over - deleted out quite a bit to be able to post it:

On this particular error, I distinctly remember there being a pop up window stating that there was some sort of an issue with Netframe; simple close and restart fixed this issue.

[Seaxouri]

All those EQMap::DrawToBuffer() messages are handled. I will probably take the messages out of the log since they bloat it. A lot of that can happen if EQ shuts down or there is a network hiccup, or lots of reasons which are usualy very temporary.

None of these should have crashed the app though. When it crashes it should log 'Uncaught in Exception in Main' and display a popup. Those are the ones I really worry about.

[kublaii_khaii]

Ok - will keep a look out for those and will report accordingly. It didn't really crash per se - what it kept doing is a window would keep popping up where I had to press continue to get it to update any of the skittle locations on the map. All I had to do each time was simply close it out and restart and the issue would resolve.

The information in that popup window is exactly what I am interested in. There should be a 'click for more details' button.

When an error is 'handled', there is no popup. When one is not handled, there is a popup. Any and all popups I would like to know about. Thanks.

[kublaii_khaii]

Ah - ok - I understand now. My assumption is that it would automatically dump that information to the logs - and it apparently isn't. I have had numerous "unhandled errors". Now that I know what you're looking for - I will be able to provide the info.

[benjimouse]

When setting the map color to black, the old client would draw the map lines in white. The new client does not, even though "Force black lines" is not set.

[Seaxouri]

When setting the map color to black, the old client would draw the map lines in white. The new client does not, even though "Force black lines" is not set.I might add a Force White Lines option for those who prefer dark backgrounds.

[kunark]

White lines would be great ( i like a darker map easier to see grey/lb cons etc )

Only problem i had was when i started it worked, shut it down, restarted later and wouldnt find any server ( i 2/3 box on 2/3 diff machines have client on a 4th machine ) and usally have it tied to a toon that is less likely to die ( for spawn timer reasons ).

But anyway when it did this the main machine i have it linked to i first shut down server and restarted ( no good still couldnt find it ), then i rebooted that machine and it has found it and has been working sense.

Sax btw I love it, its way faster then old ( to me anyway ) new skittles rock!!

Wish we could rightclick a spawn and add to alert list ( but i understand your reasoning ) can still wish and hope lol.
and cant wait for spawn timers ( i use old for timers still when camping a mob ).

Far as map option goes I copy maps into myseq so no biggy on option for folder. I have set in game with all lables and edit the map in myseq to remove lables dont need or want like merchants etc. so it shows less cluttler then in game if i do need to see them all ( CR is great exp ).

Ok im rambling its 250am been up sense 4am lol.

Keep up the great work.

I'm not sure what was done, but I don't get the respawn indicators anymore...

Also, and I feel like a broken record.. When I first got the 1.22, map's weren't coming up at all, so, had to fetch the source, add in the Numformat bit I mentioned in a previous thread. (to force EN-US reading, for my non-us OS)
other than that, Great work !

- SpawnPoints are not working very well at the moment, even though the menu option is available. This is the next

- SpawnTrails are disabled at the moment. I want to revamp this code, but its not a terribly important feature.

[Seaxouri]

Okay,

So far I have updated:
- Put a catch block around the Dispose() call. That should help clean up the last post.
- Took the Log Message from EQMapDrawToBuffer out to reduced bloat.
- ForceBlack lines no longer requires map reload. Also, will set to white if background is too dark.
- Fixed bug with ThinList clicking columns.
- Cannot recreate the problem where we 'stop loading a bad map file'. I need an example. There is lots of code to get around this, so I need a recreate on this.
- Added Map Folder Path selector to Options again
- Added in the nonUS user fix from Bobster. Sorry, can't really test it because I all I have is US versions of Windows.
- Removed some clickonce stuff. Not sure if I got it all. Should be good.
- Updated version to 1.22.1 and year to 2008.

Still Need to:
-Fix Respawn List
-Fix Pet determination method
-Fix SpawnTrails
-I noticed that if I spend a long time in a zone and evac a lot, the skittle types get all messed up and I need to press F2 to reset. Still working that bug. If anyone knows of a solid recreate, please advise.

What else?

[Blowme]

Is the new version available for download now?

[o___o]

Any way to zoom in on the map?

EDIT: My keyboard has a 'Zoom' Feature, never used it, but now it has a purpose! Thanks for a great program btw.

You can read the release notes for more details. It uses a wheelmouse for zooms.

Not yet, sorry. I want to fix the bugs and add in the missing features for the next release. I wanted a January release but it might be more like Feb. I am working on a couple other projects at the moment.
