Assuming that you run your startup script from the area folder this is what you would do.
While your mud is down, in the area folder type gdb ../src/rom Thats what I type cause thats the location of the exe compared to where my area folder is so you might have to change that to reflect where the exe is. Then once in gdb type break bug And that should display something about putting a break point in the bug function should give like a line number in which file bug is located in. Then you type run <your port number here> That will boot the mud, then it will run for a bit it will display all of the logs that normaly go to your logfile to your screen. Now if you have more then one bug type continue until you get to where it's calling bug with the argument "fread_number bad number" or what ever the bug was. Once it says that it will give you a command line, type bt to see the stack to see what lead up to this. Now go back until your in the function that called fread_number. To go backwards you can either type fram <number> and put the fram number of the function that called fread_number or you can type up until you get there. Then once in that function see which one it was so you know what it was doing and then type print *fp that should show you what it was trying to read in when it hit a non number. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jesse Boulianne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Sarix" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 12:51 PM Subject: Re: OLC v2.1 - Adding Classes > > So then you should fire your mud up in gdb place a break in bug.
