Map server crashes without error on startup

[Asvoldur]

Preface: I'm very new to rAthena and setting up a server in general, but I decided to try it for setting up an offline pre-re server for myself to have a little sandboxy server. My knowledge about rAthena is limited to the start up guide and what little I managed to pick up from this forum.

 

So, I followed the start up guide on the github repo (https://github.com/rathena/rathena/wiki/Install-on-Windows) to the best of my ability and didn't encounter any real issues. After database setup I executed the scripts in the sql-files folder to fill the database and set use_sql_db to true. Login server and Character server are running fine and dandy, but the Map server is giving me a lot of trouble. After resolving the first few errors by searching the forums I now reached a point where the server crashes without giving me any error:

Map-Server has crashed!
Restarting in 15 seconds, press Ctrl+C to cancel.

 

This will without fail (in a way) always happen when trying to load the job_stats.yml. I have not modified any files outside the changes needed during the installation instructions and the renewal.hpp to change the server to pre-re.

Any ideas on how to proceed on this? If you need any further information, I will gladly try to provide them.

Hello,

Pull the lastest build from github, this known error has now been fixed (I just did the update and there is no crash now!)

[Asvoldur]

Hey,

yes, this was actually it. It works now (until the next issue arrives at some point).

Seems I was just unlucky I cloned the repo 2 days before this fix was deployed.
