| Hotboot will work fine as long as you aren't trying to change the exe file. What I think everyone wants to know is:
Can you compile a new exe, with the same name, and hotboot to it under XP?
When I try while the program is running, this is what I get back, after it has gone clear to the end of the compile:
Quote:
Compiling o/update.o....
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot open output file smaug.exe: Device or r
esource busy
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [smaug] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
So I don't see how people claim to get around what XP won't allow you to get around - unless this is an NTFS vs FAT32 isue? I use NTFS. | | Top |

is obsolete, 2 years out of date. You need to try it with the Smaug FUSS 1.6 download available from www.smaugfuss.org | | Top |

| | I just downloaded the 1.6 version and tried hotboot. It didn't work for me. I made clean, started the mud, didn't mess with any files, and just tried to hotboot it. It crashes with the status access violation. It reloads everything up nicely all the way up to my character. Then it crashes. I use cygwin on xp. | | Top |

| With the current distro that now includes MCCP, hotboot will cause a crash.
The problem is that in hotboot_recover d->mccp is not created, and compressStart references it.
To fix, locate:
CREATE( d, DESCRIPTOR_DATA, 1 );
d->next = NULL;
d->descriptor = desc;
d->connected = CON_GET_NAME;
d->outsize = 2000;
d->idle = 0;
d->lines = 0;
d->scrlen = 24;
d->newstate = 0;
d->prevcolor = 0x08;
Change to:
CREATE( d, DESCRIPTOR_DATA, 1 );
CREATE( d->mccp, MCCP, 1 );
d->next = NULL;
d->descriptor = desc;
d->connected = CON_GET_NAME;
d->outsize = 2000;
d->idle = 0;
d->lines = 0;
d->scrlen = 24;
d->newstate = 0;
d->prevcolor = 0x08;
That should fix the hotboot crashing. |

| | I actually came across this yesterday when I was making the MCCP instructions for SWRFUSS and I had the same problem. Easy fix though, I had just assumed that it was handled differently in the smaug version, I didn't even look at it. |

| Well look at it this way, giving up ensures it'll never get into your code and working. Trying may be arduous at times and a P.I.T.A. until you get it working, but it beats the alternative any day. Besides, you'll probably learn things along the way, whether or not you ever end up getting hotboot working, that will be of use later.
Just my $.02 though.

| Consider this:
Most of us here trying to help now have been through things like this before and once were as you are now. I know in my case I used to know squat about any of this stuff. Programming isn't something you pick up overnight, it requires years worth of trial and error and research and such. Everyone was a newbie at one point in time. If we all gave up upon reaching a roadblock, there would be no gurus to ask for help :) | | Top |

| To get hotboot to work for you with Smaug 1.6 FUSS, here is what you do:
1. Open the hotboot.c file in a text editor like notepad for windows or vi, emacs, or pico on *nix
2. Scroll down to the function hotboot_recover
3. Find the section of code that looks like:
CREATE( d, DESCRIPTOR_DATA, 1 );
d->next = NULL;
d->descriptor = desc;
d->connected = CON_GET_NAME;
d->outsize = 2000;
d->idle = 0;
d->lines = 0;
d->scrlen = 24;
d->newstate = 0;
d->prevcolor = 0x08;
4. Change it to look like CREATE( d, DESCRIPTOR_DATA, 1 );
CREATE( d->mccp, MCCP, 1 );
d->next = NULL;
d->descriptor = desc;
d->connected = CON_GET_NAME;
d->outsize = 2000;
d->idle = 0;
d->lines = 0;
d->scrlen = 24;
d->newstate = 0;
d->prevcolor = 0x08;
5. Save the file
6. Recompile
7. Start you mud, and you should be able to hotboot without a problem. |
