Need Help - Server Crash with No Error

[Auntie Mangos]

I had problems compiling with Visual Studio Express 2010 so I ditched it and uninstalled and used 2008 instead.

I'm running the win32 version of the latest 3.3.3a and it works flawlessly on a win x64 box (Mangos, ScriptDev2, ACID)

I suggest if it is your first attempt to scrap everything and start again its actually faster than fixing problems.

The whole process takes about 2 hours from start to finish (even faster if you automate it).

Rename your old mangos folder and forget about it.

The only thing I would suggest differently obviously is to compile the latest version.

And copy the binaries in a simple folder such as C:\\Mangos and drop in the data folders.

When you launch realmd and mangosd do it from the actual folder. You should end up with something like this.

C:\\Mangos

C:\\Mangos\\buildings

C:\\Mangos\\dbc

C:\\Mangos\\maps

C:\\Mangos\\vmaps

So if it works fine with a 2008 recompile your all happy. If exactly the same problem then I would delete your databases and do them again.

If you like you can back up the old databases by exporting them as SQL dumps so you can import them again if you need or for troubleshooting.

Just make sure you always import into a fresh database.

I moved my server and restored it this way - copied the mangos folder, installed mysql, made empty databases, imported the sql dumps, launched it.

I might try compiling the win64 version but really theres no need as its running so well.

Ok so, I recently got Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and used the mangosdVC100.sln to compile. It worked perfectly.

I then converted my ScriptDev2 project to VS2010 using the VS2010 project conversion wizard. After that, I had a couple errors and was able to get them fixed. I'll post those next in case they are relevant to my actual issue:

Error 1:

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Fix:

1.  Right-click 'ScriptDev2' in the Solution Explorer and choose 'properties'.

2. Change 'Target Name' from a variable to:  MaNGOSScript

3. Expand 'Linker', click 'General.  Under 'Additional Library Directories', the first directory in the list should be:

    ..\\..\\..\\..\\win\\VC100\\mangosd__Win32_Release

4.  Click Apply and close the window.

5. Clean Solution, Then [b]RE[/b]Build

Now both Mangos and SD2 are compiling successfully and I can turn the server on. However, now the server is crashing without any errors at all. The last thing in my server log:

2010-04-16 17:23:04 
2010-04-16 17:23:04 >> Loaded 1453 Script Waypoint nodes.

When it crashes, if I choose to Debug with VS2010, VS opens and a little window pops open with options "Break" or "Continue". If I choose continue, my mangosd.exe window stays 'grayed out', but it does actually continue to run and I can log in and actually play the game without any further troubles.

So... if I leave the VS2010 debugger open, I can keep running the server and am able to play, but it is using up extra resources and looks ugly taking up unnecessary space on my task bar...

Any help at all on this would be much appreciated!

[Thyros]

have you fixed the crash with the waypoints?

[kingdutka]

No fix yet... I also posted this on the SD2 Forum and got replies of others also getting the crash. No replies from anyone for fix ideas...

[kingdutka]

I already tried a fresh clean install of MaNGOS + SD2 and it was actually WORSE... I couldn't even get it to compile at all...

I do still have VS2008, but that's not the point. Don't fear change, embrace it. We need to move forward, not let ourselves get stuck in the past. My company will be switching to VS2010 EXCLUSIVELY and it would be nice to know how to use it effectively. What better chance to hone my skills than to practice on my own private projects?

PS: I've been running my server since 2007.

[temporary]

I don't think scriptdev2 supports VS2010 .... but you can ask them on their forum to be sur...

[kingdutka]

SD2 doesn't have included support for VS2010, but they specified on their forums that I could use the VS2010 Conversion Utility (which I and MANY other people have done). After the crash, when I run the debugger that allows me to continue playing, the debugger is specifying the errors are coming from Mangos related files , not SD2 files... The fact of the matter is, we don't have ANY output info at all to use to determine what the cause is...

Since it DOES work without crashing if I use VS2010 to compile Mangos, but then use VS2008 to compile SD2, that leads me full circle to suspect the issue is with the VS2010 Conversion itself. Since my very first set of errors were related to 'linker' issues, I have to wonder if my 'fix' was only on the surface of the program, allowing it to compile but ultimately still not working correctly...

"Differential diagnosis. What could cause...?" -House M.D.

[Shock]

So are you ready to just compile it with 2008 to know where your at?

The advantage of doing it the 'known to work' way is to get logs then compare.

I prefer to figure out what went wrong after I've fixed a problem rather than during.

Don't think that I didn't want everything to work in 2010 straight away also. I just know when I'm wasting time.

This is the problem maybe it's after database loading in SD2 when it's freeing memory for spellsummary

In SD2 ScriptMgr.cpp:

struct TSpellSummary {
   uint8 Targets;                                          // set of enum SelectTarget
   uint8 Effects;                                          // set of enum SelectEffect
}extern *SpellSummary;

MANGOS_DLL_EXPORT
void ScriptsFree()
{
   // Free Spell Summary
   delete []SpellSummary;

   // Free resources before library unload
   for(int i=0; i<MAX_SCRIPTS; ++i)
       delete m_scripts[i];

   num_sc_scripts = 0;
}

It's just an idea

And in VC2010 intellisense warn an error with TSpellSummary *SpellSummary at line 56

Sorry for my bad english but I'm french
