There is another line in equi_groupwindow.xml that contains a tooltip with $group in it. This line needs to be completely removed, as it doesn't appear anywhere else in the file, so it's kind of erroneous to have one tooltip for one group member anyway.

This in addition to replacing Group[ with Group.Member[ fixes the scrolling error problem.

CTD when joining group

Post by Bonhing » Sun May 01, 2005 1:57 pm

I had never had a problem with MQ2 and Frequency until this last patch. i started getting the spamming problem that I fixed by changing Group to Group.Member. that did indeed fix the spamming but now when i join a group I crash to desktop. Any help would be appreciated.

Tried both fixes

Changed all Group to Group.Member and deleted the line with $group in the tip section as noted above. I still CTD. Any suggestions?

Maybe you're running 0419.zip instead of 0419a.zip?? The fact that 0419 had an incorrect offset in eqgame.exe that affects calls to things like ${Group.Member[x].Level} and ${Group.Member[x].Class} which are used in the UI? :-P

Just checked and I never even downloaded 0419, I only have 0419a. Trying to experiment with copying some of the more important features to me, like the target box and player box to some other UI's with some success. Just would like to have the full thing and really wonder what the problem is. I even downloaded your new version (FreqHtw) and am having the same problem with it (on all three of my boxes). Maybe it will get fixed on next patch. Any other ideas anyone?

Check your eqgame.h, and make sure the instGroup entry looks like the following (and that it is the ONLY instGroup entry):

Code: Select all

#define instGroup                                          0x909D90
Also, make sure you do a FULL *CLEAN* build on MQ2. If you run MQ2 from your build directory, make sure it created MQ2Main.dll OK, and that it was not "in use".

If you still have the problem, PM me, and I'll give you my CHARINFO struct I use (mine is not the same as in the zip).

changed the group to group.member and removed the one rotten line with $group, but whenever I join a group = instant CTD if I solo it is no problem but it is 100% sure every time I join a group so can't use UI if I plan to group, any ideas on that one?

IF YOU ARE CRASHING WHEN JOINING A GROUP THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE UI IT IS WITH MQ

The reason you are not crashing with another UI is because that UI is not calling the group object the same way that this UI is. /echo the group information that this UI requests from a command line in *any* UI and it will crash unless you have the version of MQ with the updated header file, or have modified the offset yourself.
