| I am currently running a Michael K Weis' Win32 port of ROM 2.4b4 which has OLC and color already implemented.
(http://home.att.net/~mkw/mudframe.html -> mkwMUD-src.zip)
This version is completely ported over to C++ (ie: includes .cpp files) and ready to compile out-of-the-box. All you have to do is make the player/god/... folders and define them within the code.
One problem though, once running, i can make a new character, play around and quit just fine. BUT when i go to load that character it gives me the following log and locks up... doesnt even exit cleanly.
write_to_descriptor: MOPP: 2048; Bytes written: 2048; Bytes written 115
Loading Xrythe.
[*****] BUG: Warning: fread_word_char() encountered EOF.
[*****] BUG: Fread_char: no match.
the "Loading ___." and "Fread_char: no match" tell me that the error is within the only call to fread_word() within fread_char() as it reads in the character file. There's no match because there is no case for EOF returned. With my own debugging logic i have followed the trace from:
load_char_obj(fp, name) ->
...
word = fread_word(fp);
if (!str_cmp( word, "PLAYER" )) fread_char (ch, fp);
...
fread_char(ch,fp) ->
...
for ( ; ; )
word = feof(fp) ? "End" : fread_word(fp);
...
fread_word(fp) ->
...
for( ; pword < word +MAX_INPUT_LENGTH; pword++) {
*pword* = getc(fp);
if( feof(fp) || (cEnd == ' ' ? isspace(*pword) : *pword == cEnd)) {
...
if( feof(fp) )
bug( Warning: fread_word() encountered EOF.", 0);
...
cant determine why fread_word() fails on player file and not anywhere else (ie: areas/... ). MKW even added the feof() check in fread_word() not found in original ROM stock, so he knew it was an issue but apparently he got around it. | | Top |

| correction:
-- BUG: Warning: fread_word() encountered EOF.
not:
-- BUG: Warning: fread_word_char() encountered EOF.
constantly mix fread_char() and fread_word() up. :p

| For a start I would change fread_to_eol to allow for end of file, see changes in bold:
void fread_to_eol( FILE *fp )
{
char c;
do
{
c = getc( fp );
}
while ( c != '\n' && c != '\r' && c != EOF);
do
{
c = getc( fp );
}
while ( c == '\n' || c == '\r' );
ungetc( c, fp );
return;
}
I'm not sure why, but I made the problem go away by commenting out two lines in fread_char:
// sprintf(buf,"Loading %s.",ch->name);
// log_string(buf);
It seems that somehow the logging is interfering with the file pointer for the read_word, but why, I don't know.

| | After more tests I can't work out why it is going wrong, but I suggest you write to Michael K. Weise - after all, it is his code. |

| Thank you.. it stopped the bug, but odd methods here..
log/eol affects EOF.. ill check into it further myself.
And i was thinking of contacting MKW but there are no recent posts for about a year or so.... *shrug*
thank you. --KDK | | Top |
