Debug Help

[Broadside]

I had tried an old tutorial on debuggin and it did not work. Now i can't even find it. Could somone enlighten me on how i can set 2.0 server to debug on a windows xp os so i can find my crash probelms please?

Make a link to your RunUO 2.0 core file and set the target like this:

"D:\UOSE\RunUO 2.0\RunUO.exe" -debug

of course, just add -debug, the path will be there, and different probably.

[Broadside]

will it work the old way by adding to exe -debug? I cannot get it to work in the command prompt or link i get a not recognized as an internal or extrnal command?

Then you are doing something wrong

C:\RunUO2>runuo.exe -debug
RunUO - [www.runuo.com] Version 2.0, Build 2522.38613
Core: Running on .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727
Core: Running with arguments: -debug
Scripts: Compiling C# scripts...

Ok i had my folder renamed with a space in between i changed it and it worked thank you for the demonstration post that helped me out i was getting frustrated. ++karma to ya all if i can

Can you help me? I dont understand how use debug
How insert breakpoints? How view variables when program is runing?

[Sotho Tal Ker]

That has nothing to do with the "-debug" command line switch.
This switch only makes runuo call the csc compiler with an additional parameter, so that the pdb file is built to.
So when the server does crash it will print out more information: which file the crash happened and which line number.

For real debugging you have to use an IDE like Visual Studio.

would somone be interested in posting a tutorial on debugging through microsoft visual express or something? It may narrow down the amount of complicated posts :-P I would but i don't fully understand it yet

[Malaperth]

That would basically involve teaching someone full use of an IDE, which I highly doubt will happen in a forum. Debugging is not a simple task that can be 'explained', it has to be learned. I suggest a basic programming course.
