Zugg Software :: View topic - Fix Cmud map (with ReedN's cmud_map_doctor? )

Newbie Joined: 25 Mar 2012 Posts: 5

Brief version:

Cmud seems to crash every dozen rooms when I used the mapper.
Old forum posts seems to indicate I need ReedN's cmud_map_doctor.

I googled for it but somehow I can't find it.
Can somebody point me at the download link or tell me how to fix this without deleting the map and restarting?

Long version:

I have an old map created in zmud. It worked more or less. Every time I started zmud a few random rooms got one way exits, but that was easy to fix. It got boring though to do this every time zmud got restarted. Now and then zmud would crash with a read from 0x0....4, but as long as I only used zmud for mapping and not for combat area's that was manageable.

When I got a new computer I decided to upgrade. I bought cmud v2.37 and imported the old map.
Occasionally there was still a random room with a one way exit.
Occasionally the program would crash with an illegal read from address 0x00000004
I made screenshots of the maps and went back to tinyfugue as main client.

Last Thursday I installed cmud 3.34 with the old map.
The new cmud seems to work a lot better. Auto configuration of the mapper worked.
Importing the old map was easy. (I struggled with the import from zmud to cmud2).

I spent a hours creating a map of Velana. (This is a 300x300 realm on elephant mud),
All day long cmud did NOT crash. It mapped neautifully.

Today I continued mapping but cmud crashed with 'SQL Error: PRIMARY KEY must be unique.'

Restarting cmud did not help.

Deleting recently mapped rooms did not help.

Deleting all rooms with mysterious one way exits did not help.

I downloaed the MapConvert program and tried the repair option.
This resulted in a map file which is slightly smaller (42Mb rather than 43MB), but does not solve the problem.

I tried converting the map to the old zmud format and back.
This did not solve the problem either.

A quick google search yielded a post with almost the same problem:
(http://forums.zuggsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=35216 ) which suggest to use ReedN's cmud_map_doctor utility on it.

It seems I got a brainfart though. I can't seem to locate that utility.
If someone can point me to a still valid download location, or mail it to me, or tell me how I can fix this I would be very happy.

Is that happening often? I have gotten that error, but very rarely, and just clicking continue and trying to make the room again has always fixed it for me...

Newbie Joined: 25 Mar 2012 Posts: 5

Yes, it happens often.

Sometimes I can map 20 to 30 rooms without the error. Sometimes I have to try a few times just to map a single room.

Damn, Wish i could remember what I did when i had that problem, but i didn't need to use any special map doctor....sorry i just can't remember what I did to fix it.
but it was a simple fix, cause i did it hehe

I kept a log to see how often it happened. It started with 109 good working rooms. A lot better than the 'about on in 10-20 rooms' which I guessed at earlier. :-)

Tomorrow I will install cmud and my map on two other computers to verify that it is indeed the fault of my old map.
I really should have done that before, but somehow I forgot to test that.
Hopefully it will suddenly work and point a problem on my desktop.

If I recall correctly, this error is usually caused by a bad room in your map. In the mapper, go to the zone you have the error in, and open the spreadsheet view. Scroll to the bottom. Look for a room with bad values--usually something like a 0 for Room ID and lots of blank fields, if I recall correctly. Delete that room.

the map doctor is an old utility from before the MapConvert utility was offered. It has since been incorporated into the MapConvert utility and should not be used (aside from this, the mapdoctor would reverse all the object/exit/etc ids and cause roomscripts to break since they no longer pointed to the same rooms anymore).

I am not an IT specialist but I got some experience on working with the map database file. I designed my own solution to recycling the numbers of deleted rooms (with some hints from and collaboration with ReedN).
So, Hennes, I could have a few ideas where to check for that error of yours (SQL error: PRIMARY KEY most be unique.), but it would be somewhat difficult to think of possible areas to search, then tell you how to search for it, then get back to me with the result test, then again thinking for ohter solutions, then... and so on.

The idea is, IF you feel comfortable, you could send me the map database file and I will try to see if my little SQLite knowledge can identify the issue.

Needless to say that I won't use your map for either my own purpose (except for logging to your MUD and test the mapping on your flle) or for others'.

An example of testing:

From your log it looks like the mapper tries to make a room whose number (next-to-create-room number) is already in the database.

Do the following:

1.Download this executable file from the SQLite development website.
2.Drag-and-drop your map .dbm file on the 'sqlite3.exe' file.
3.Enter these commands:

Actually, Matt is right--running the map through the MapConvert utility should fix it.

Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 12:30 pm

It seems that was tried with no success.

Matt: I do not yet use any room scripts, so I am not worried about reversing them. But it is very good to know that those features are alreay in MapConvert and that there is no reason for me to keep looking for the old program.

I can confirm the issue reported by Hennes is a CMUD bug.
It also happens to me.

The error arises WHEN mapping new rooms AFTER coloring rooms (by selecting them with a rectangle).

Here are the steps:
(make sure your next move would create a new room)

1. Turn on Map mode
2. Click Properties icon (on the Mapper) and activate the 'Appearance' tab
3. Select one or more rooms BY USING A RECTANGLE
4. In the Room Properties mini-window, choose a Fill color (try with red), click Save changes and then click Yes when asked.
5. Move so as to create a new room
6. You should get the error message (if NOT, repeat the process 2-3 times; if still NOT .. I don't know then..)

I vaguely recall reporting a similar bug several years ago, which involved setting a room border rather than a room color. I can't find the thread now, if I did. I think I determined that after doing this, it would try to create a room with an ID of 0. Doing it a second time, naturally, produces an error as it tries to create another room with an ID of 0. I went through the spreadsheet display of rooms to get rid of these spurious rooms. But I seem to recall that the mapconvert could fix the map, too.

Mapconvert might have fixed the map. But after mapconvert I went on mapping, basically repeating the steps Bothkill just described.
