Ok, I have my code compiled and running smoothly and a friend of mine can connect to it. Yet when i try to connect now it shows me the login screen and then disconnects me. I was connecting to it last night perfectly fine and this is what happened.

Logged in on one character
Opened new session to create another character and it disconnected me from both and won't let me stay connected.

Any suggestions?

Does the server log show anything? Which version of SMAUG are you using?

You mean nothing relevant, or the log was empty or you couldn't find it?

I would expect you to see something like:

Yes i meant nothing relevant. It doesn't show me connecting or anything, i've tried to connect using my IP like my friend yet it won't let me connect. Also tried reinstalling and still doesn't work.

In my case I was using port 4020, but change the 4020 to 5000 if you want.

Once I got the server up ((Name Not Set) ready on port 4020) I connected with MUSHclient, and saw the breakpoint hit at line 986 (in my source). Now if you do this it should confirm whether or not the connection is reaching the server (or maybe being rejected by your firewall).

If you get this far, you can step through and see why the connection is being dropped. See my write-up on using gdb:

That's the last few lines of the run with gdb.. don't see how it is a firewall issue if someone who's not on the computer can connect to me.

Well, I'm just exploring possibilities here. :)

The thing now is to try to find why you don't see the greeting (or do you?). Type "next" and then keep hitting <enter> to make it keep doing a next, and watch what happens. For a couple of dozen lines, this is what I see, by the sound of it your line numbers will be about 5 lower:

You can follow through what is happening by opening another Cygwin window, and navigating to the source, and look in comm.c around line 981. That will show you the whole source. In the example above, various tests are failing and thus it presses on. For example, maybe it is failing something to do with "total bans" or something like that?

OK, then try putting a breakpoint on free_desc and when (if?) it hits that, type "bt" to do a backtrace. In other words, before typing "run 4020" (or whatever port), add the line "break free_desc" (instead of "break new_descriptor").

The backtrace should show the call stack leading to the descriptor being freed.

Your thread title is a bit misleading. You are connecting to the server, right? You are just getting disconnected afterwards.

The relevant line is probably comm.c:1818 -->


void nanny_get_name( DESCRIPTOR_DATA * d, char *argument )
{
   CHAR_DATA *ch;
   bool fOld, chk;
   char buf[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];

   ch = d->character;

   if( argument[0] == '\0' )
   {
      close_socket( d, FALSE );   //   ---> line 1818
      return;
   }


My guess is that zMud is sending a blank line for some reason after connect. This then makes the nanny_get_name function think you have entered a zero-length player name, and thus it disconnects you.

Try MUSHclient.
