You'd have to put in some kind of log_string call to let you know as each area is loaded. From your output, it doesn't appear as though Envy does this.

When you stopped execution, how long had it been stuck? Valgrind can sometimes slow things to a crawl and seem like it got stuck.

Yea, it stopped right before it. I hit ctrl-c and it then everything else came up. the line in db.c is:


      fBootDb = FALSE;
      if (get_mob_index (vnum))
        {
          bug ("Load_mobiles: vnum %d duplicated.", vnum);
          exit (1);
        }
      fBootDb = TRUE;

      pMobIndex = alloc_perm (sizeof (*pMobIndex));
      pMobIndex->vnum = vnum;
      pMobIndex->area = area_last;      /* OLC */
      pMobIndex->player_name = fread_string (fp);
      pMobIndex->short_descr = fread_string (fp);
      pMobIndex->long_descr = fread_string (fp); <---------Here is 824
      pMobIndex->description = fread_string (fp);

      pMobIndex->long_descr[0] = UPPER (pMobIndex->long_descr[0]);
      pMobIndex->description[0] = UPPER (pMobIndex->description[0]);

      pMobIndex->act = fread_number (fp) | ACT_IS_NPC;


How do you i find out what area it's reading at that time? and if the valgrind stops, should I just wait it out to see what ahppens?

by 0x806E735: load_mobiles (db.c:824)


If you happen to know which area file it was loading, and what is on line 824 of your db.c, this would help. It looks to me like the program exited. Unless you interrupted it yourself.

Ok, I ran Valgrind but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right or not. I got these messages and I don't know if they are good or bad. Sorry, this is my first time running the program. Not sure how to use it much.
