TFS exe not launching

[SnakeFist]

Hi everyone I am trying to setup my TFS and have gone through all the steps. I was able to setup a SQL with UniServer Zero, and am able to compile the TFS source in visual studio. I also created the web interface(using myaac) that has my account created as well. However the web interface shows the server as offline, and when I go to launch the exe in the directory. It only opens for half a second before disapearing.

I have already looked around and tried the following

• Made sure MySQL server and config.lua are using the same port
• compiled the source with this solution
• Checked my apache and SQL logs but could not find any error codes

If anyone has any idea on what could be causing this, please let me know.
config.lua is below

Open up a fresh notepad.

Insert this:

@echo off
cmd /k forgotten.exe

make sure the name is the same as you're exe you are trying to run, then click save. Save it in the folder with your exe, save it as start.bat.

Once you have saved the file as start.bat, then double click on it to run it. If you did everything correctly, the window will now not close on you before you get a chance to read the error.

What does the error say?

It only opens for half a second before disapearing.

Your computer is not compatible with the executable you generated, so you should switch to SSE2 and recompile again, and then test it... The problem is already solved!

TFS 1.X+ - Illegal Instruction on compilling

Im follwing this guide: github.com/otland/forgottenserver/wiki/Compiling-on-Windows-%28vcpkg%29 When i try to open the .exe outisde VB, it crashes without message. Inside VB, this happens. Any thoughts?

otland.net

Or uniserver make sure to not change password any time u run it because it resets access to sql for outside apps

Hi
To clarify more I am not using a exe file generated by the source code. I have the source code compiled, but using the exe from TFS GitHub zip file. Is this a problem? Should I generate my own exe and replace the one I have now in the directory?

yes. when you compile you are creating your own .exe, and should use that.

The reason I did not do this before was because when I ran the server through visual studio I was given a error that the config.lua file was missing. Is their a specific way to generate the exe from source?

when you run it "through visual studio" it is launching the exe in the folder it outputs it in, which is not the same folder as your config.lua and that is the only reason it didn't find it, if you wish to debug with visual studio, just open visual studio, and then drop the exe you want to run into visual studio and it will run it while debugging for you (assuming you have enabled symbols in your exe)
