Temporary LDoN Fix

slimjim · Post by **slimjim** » Tue Sep 16, 2003 6:18 pm

Heres a temporary /who fix for LDoN zone.

in EQLib_commands.cpp change:

sprintf(szMsg,"There %s %d%s %s%s in %s.",(SpawnCount == 1)?"is":"are",SpawnCount,(SpawnCount<500)?"":" (cut short)", (pFilter->Type==SPAWN_ANY)?"spawn":szSpawnType[pFilter->Type], (SpawnCount==1)?"":"s", GetFullZone(pChar->Zone));

to:

Code: Select all

sprintf(szMsg,"There %s %d%s %s%s in %d.",(SpawnCount == 1)?"is":"are",SpawnCount,(SpawnCount<500)?"":" (cut short)", (pFilter->Type==SPAWN_ANY)?"spawn":szSpawnType[pFilter->Type], (SpawnCount==1)?"":"s",pChar->Zone);

This has stopped me from crashing and i can still /who npc blah blah. The only drawback is it no longer tells you what zone you're in, but tells you a zoneid instead. Im currently in an LDoN zone group and dont want to lose, so i cant really figure out what relationship the LDoN zoneId has to the REAL zone id. Hopefully people can post below and we can figure it out.

ZoneID: 1622802661-Cauldron of Lost Souls

I'll Edit my post soon as i figure out what Real ZoneID is

Slimjim, in case you didn't know yet, Cauldron of Lost Souls uses the guka zone files.

Tested code ahead, In a normal zone. No testing in LDON yet.

1622802661 = 0x60BA00E5 broken up into two words, 0x60BA and 0x00E5. Current MAX_ZONES = 0xE4.

MQ.h

Code: Select all

#define MAX_ZONES 0x114


typedef struct _ZONELIST {
/*0x000*/	DWORD	Header;
/*0x004*/	DWORD	Expansion;			// szZoneExpansionName[]
/*0x008*/   WORD    Id;
/*0x00a*/	WORD	Instance;
/*0x00c*/	CHAR	ShortName[129];
/*0x08d*/	CHAR	LongName[259];

That looks about right onetime... but, i think the instance would come before ID. That would explain why looking for the zoneid in non LDoN zones still returns right values. Otherwise it would come up as 202000(dec). I'll try those changes and see what happens in my next LDoN group

onetimehero · Post by **onetimehero** » Tue Sep 16, 2003 7:40 pm

It works fine in non-LDON zones, so i think i got it right...silly backwards-endian schtuff.

slimjim · Post by **slimjim** » Tue Sep 16, 2003 8:06 pm

/shrug, i dunno... looks like both of them worked outside LDoN... guess theres one way to find out, just need an LDoN group now

The struct change still causes a crash in LDoN. Ugly, computer locking crash. Will have to change the function till we figure it out.

Edit: DOH! Forgot to change MAX_ZONES. Will fix that and test again.

i have tried the two temp fixes that have been posted but i still crash when using who.

i edited the fix and recompiled (im not good with computers but i figured that was the logical way of doing it)

anybody else still crashing?

Plazmic · Post by **Plazmic** » Thu Sep 18, 2003 2:24 am

Try my changes in another thread...
Both _SPAWNINFO and _CHARINFO should change also
DWORD zoneid -> WORD zoneid / WORD Instance

Mckorr · Post by **Mckorr** » Thu Sep 18, 2003 8:15 am

Thanks Plaz. Will make those adjustments, put the sprintf back to the original, and risk the crash (an mission failure... crash last night caused me to miss finishing by ONE freakin mob.)
