Their crash comes directly before the Macroquest loaded chat is displayed. This must have to do with the filter thing that caused problems in superwho.

http://macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewtopic ... ght=#25397

Someone comment out the code as shown by MacroFiend and see if that solves your problem.

I imagine it might be a race condition with the filter list...

I'll try it once I get back from the store.
Need my fix of solid food...

Commented out the block of code in EQLib_UI.cpp, but I still crash at the same place, with the same output in the log.

distler · Post by **distler** » Mon Nov 03, 2003 6:22 pm

I made these changes to EQlib_UI.cpp

Code: Select all

void CChatWindow__AddOutputText(PEQCHATWINDOW pWnd, const char *Text, int RGBA=0)
{
   if (!pWnd || !Text) return;

//	PFILTER Filter = gpFilters; 

//	while (Filter) { 
//		if (!Filter->pEnabled || (*Filter->pEnabled)) { 
//			if (!strnicmp(Text,Filter->FilterText,Filter->Length)) return;
//		} 
//		Filter = Filter->pNext; 
//	} 

   char out[MAX_STRING];

Still CTD with same output as earlier in the spewlog file.

Is there someone who has got a highdebug version of eqlib that I can try to compile with?

Lax,
Are you using the exact code that is in the IRC-Latest and got that working?.
What compiler and version do you use?
Is there some special settings needed in the compiler that we have missed?

To me it seems like this is only happening to a few people trying out the latest version or the majority is silentnly sitting by and watching our progress 8)

wtb more ideas on what to change / do to get this kicking again.

im reading every post, but I dont have anything to say about this, my mq is as stable as ever, I dont use any filters though and last time i looked my telnet was ouputting garbage, but im just biding my time, no ctds though... im using the latest.zip since im usually the one that uploads it... I compile in vc6 and I never use the makefile.

Lax · Post by **Lax** » Mon Nov 03, 2003 6:31 pm

I use the latest dev cvs, no special settings, i dont use filters, etc. I'll update zip soon and give you some instructions to try to narrow it down.

Thanks guys I'm *bouncing* with excitement :) Oh damn char is squeeking, afk oiling chair while you guys do your magic.

Btw. thing just hit me, could it be that it has something to do with rights in windows xp. like admin and user rights?. Going to try that out some, after my chair is oiled

Hmm second thought, is there some settings that should be in the .ini file to get it kicking that we have overlooked. Such as who filter and so on?

Let's all debug:

1. Build eqlib.dll using nmake in the eqlib directory.
2. Make sure that eqlib.pdb is created and has the same date as eqlib.dll
3. Download windbg (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/ddk/debug ... fault.mspx) and install it
4. Make sure that eqlib.dll and eqlib.pdb are in the same directory as where you start MQ.
5. Start MQ, EQ, and windbg. (eqw will work too)
6. On windbg, press F6 and choose eqgame.exe. Once it has broken in, press F5 to continue.
7. In EQ, take the steps that normally crash.
8. When the debugger breaks in, goto to the command window of windbg
9. Enter the command 'r' for registers.
10. Enter the command 'kv' for stack backtrace.
11. Post the output from those commands to this thread.

No, not likely. Several people had this happen at the same time that had it working previously.

Lax · Post by **Lax** » Mon Nov 03, 2003 6:51 pm

Here's something quick to help track it down if you dont want to download etc

Grab newest zip (I just updated now)

EQLib.h, uncomment the red line

Code: Select all

// Uncomment the next line to turn on crash debugging (spews function call info)
[color=red]#define DBG_CRASHES 1[/color]

EQLib_Utilities.Cpp same drill

Code: Select all

// Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows headers
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x510
#define DIRECTINPUT_VERSION 0x800

#if !defined(CINTERFACE)
#error /DCINTERFACE
#endif

[color=red]#define DBG_SPEW[/color]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
#include "dinput.h"
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <winsock.h>
#include "MQ.h"
#include "EQLib.h"
#include "resource.h"

Turn on debugspew in Macroquest.h

Code: Select all

DebugSpewToFile=1

Load MQ and go play, look at Logs\DebugSpew.log on crash. The last few lines (at least) copy and paste here.

Dunno if that'll tell you devs anything or not, but I added it anyways.
