[HELP]PS_Game.exe

12/26/2015 00:52 adamkoolkid23#1

Okay so I was editing some NPC's and adding them in game...they weren't showing up so i messed about a bit and still nothing then I thought OH! wait a sec theres an NPCQuest.SData in the Server files too so I copied it over decrypted it ran server and it (sort of) worked some of the NPC's DID show up but not all.

So I thought to myself what can I do? I know maybe the svmap file got messed up somewhere...i'll get a clean one and edit it again. So I proceeded to get a clean one logged in game to make sure that it WAS clean BOOM got hit with a disconnect after char selection...weird right?

So i went to check the logs

Here's what I found:

as you can see it cant access ps_game.exe or ps_game.pdb (which the pdb is weird because i've looked through all the server files and there isn't one instance of this ANYWHERE can someone clarify where/what this actually supposed to be?)

So i started searching around and tried out a few fixes....nothing worked.

Here's what i've done so far:

Replaced svmap with previous svmap i edited
Replaced NPCQuest.SData with a clean one in both client and server
Reinstalled full server to make sure I wasn't missing anything/messed up anything
I haven't even touched KillStatus.SData so that can't be it
Made a notepad with ps_game.pdb in Bin folder

Numerous attempts of replacing/restarting server etc and I'm still having this problem.

Please guys...any help?

EDIT: I've just tried it with a clean client and still nothing

You made sure NpcQuest.sdata in client is encrypted and server side is decrypted?
If your DC was a 'Character load error' my guess would be it's the NpcQuest.sdata.

I had similar issue above after I messed around with ps_game.exe in Olly. Solved it by just replacing the messed up one with a clean backup.
Not sure if it's of much help as you've already tried a lot of things but I would definitely guess it's the npcquest.sdata or svmap causing it. You tried going back to a clean copy of the svmap & clean copy of npcquest.sdata?

Thread about creating the pdb file.

Yeah i made sure about the encryption i always encrypt client files anyways coz if not you get the character load error and i made sure server one was decrypted.

Like i say i fully reinstalled the server with clean server files to make sure nothing was messed up

I tried creating pdb file but it didn't work :/

I have the same problem in my server :(

Okay this is weird...i deleted the PS_GameDefs table because i had racked my brain of every possible thing i figured it had to be the something in the database seen as i hadnt touched it yet...right? RIGHT! I attached another PS_GameDefs and it HAS stopped this error coming....however I now have a new problem:

Error Char Load : Skill id=375, lv=6

Never ending with these bloody errors eh?

Glad you fixed the first error :)
That skill error is due to the fact that the skill is above lv3 and the server isn't currently allowing above lv3+ skills. Change the skill level to lower than 3 and you should be able to log on fine.

I was confused at first thinking it was something in the Skills.Sdata....and then realised that while i was messing about i deleted a particular skill (one i created) from the sdata file and it was still learned by my toon. This lead me to realise that the server couldn't read it properly as it didn't exist. In the end i just created a new toon and everything works again :D
