Server - no tabs!

[darkhog]

I've made small tweaks to the server (mainly translating stuff, mentioned in my other thread, but also added ability to set start map/x,y in options.ini), but when I start it, I don't get any tabs (console/players/control). Well, I see console, but that's about it. Additionally VB generated kilometer-long frm_Server.log file:

I am using VB6 Enterprise (had some hiccups to get it working, but managed to)

[Joyce]

Seems to me like you're missing a reference of component.. Did it give any error about being unable to load a certain file the first time you opened the source?

[darkhog]

Yeah, something about system registry.

[Joyce]

That's what caused it. ;] If it errors on opening a source file, it generally corrupts that file right from the bat. (Missing components get replaced by pictureboxes or other components, which causes issues such as this)

[darkhog]

How to fix this?

[Joyce]

Well, unfortunately you need to download a fresh copy of the source code, and open it.. Then report the exact context of the error on here so we can figure out what is going on with it and fix it. (Or manually fiddle with it and see for yourself, but either way you'll need to redo the changes you've made.)

[darkhog]

Well, I didn't have to re-download, as I've worked on code's copy (good programming habit, I've picked up long time ago), but it seems that it was only a fluke as fresh copy compiled fine.

Anyway, I've made my modifications and so I'll be sure to share it with rest of people (though start map and x/y should be long time ago in options.ini with START_MAP, etc. constants serving only as back up).
