Using /zone in DoDH (1 Viewer)

[Warrene]

I attempted to /zone from Undershore to Corathus Creep and received a "bad short name" message. I'm confident I typed in the correct name. Have I missed an update somewhere and, if so, to what? Haven't tried the other zones in DoDH, so I'm not sure if it's systemic across the new area or not...or maybe it's just me.

Thanks for listening

I get this problem too.

What short name are you using? If you are using "undershore" that is wrong. I forget that name, but do a /who all <name> of someone in the zone and it will display the correct shortname for that zone.

Got the names from the name of the map file. Was in Undershore (EastKorlach) trying to zone back into Corathus Creep (Corathus). Had the same problem trying to zone from Stoneroot (WestKorlach) back into Undershore.

Set MAX_ZONES in your EQData.h file to 0x171

as opposed to 0x15B?

 

[elmokev]

where is the EQData.h file located? Can't seem to find it anywhere in my eq folder.

You're saying we need a new compile. I haven't successfully compiled on my own, so I'll push this on as a challenge/request for those who have been kind enough to compile for the rest of us.

If someone has already done this, please identify your most recent compile and I'll give it a go.

Cosmic, thanks for the feedback!

Just realized I have Twarp doing the /zone work. I've unloaded that in favor of using Cadestuff and will try again.

PS. Cadestuff is an awesome effort and a great example of creatively adding features to make a tool versatile as well as powerful (eg. /removecommand to allow plugins to co-exist...just remembered I removed /zone, hence the epiphany)

Using Cade's most recent compile (posted 10/8 3:30pm) and relying on Mq2CadeStuff for /zone functionality eliminated the symptom.

Mystery solved.

It's in your MQ2Main folder.

And thanks Warrene..that makes my effort woth it
