CO2m8 Version 2.28(BETA2)
Is now available for game clients 5125 to 5219
Thanks for the feedback everyone, I'm still trying to get to the bottom of these problems.
The work will go faster if people test the beta versions and give me feedback.
So lets look at each of the problems in detail.
ACCOUNT PROBLEMS
Yes 2.27 had issues because it was assuming ldf files actually reflected true char and server names in the format(CHAR_SRV.ldf)
Although they don't actually need to it does help you stay inline with future expansion of M8, for example some of the new features like INFO(historical data information, like lv and stuff) require the the ldf and csf files have the same name(which is true names).
I understand some of you are using misaligned ldf files so you can control the sort order of the pick list and to aid you with that I have added the feature to include tag names in the list, characters with tag names will sort to the top of the list.
You can now edit the char TAG's without having to log them in use the edit/save button in the L menu for this...NOTE this will only work if your ldf has the TRUE server and client names.
Additionally to get around blank servers and servers with lengths of less than 3 chars there's now a server category called ~OTHERS~
The "NEW_#" accounts will also appear in ~OTHERS~ now Rorrim
PASSWORDS
Most of my characters have numbers in the passwords and they all work for me, I use Speed of 0 and a Delay B4 of 3, increase the Speed and delay for slower or busy machines.
Note the game message that says "Failed to connect to the server." is not a password problem that just means the server is busy so manually hit the ENTER button in game, larger delays alleviate that message.
Furthermore I noticed that on a fresh installed XP with only sp2 I had password problems,
I'm still figuring out whats going on there but suspect it has to do with the version of the flash runtimes, so that's another area that could be causing people problems.
NotLoggedIn
Well could be a bunch of stuff but if your using the current English version(5219) and the 5212
table it should work if it doesn't it could well be a security issue as MS are still adding nasty bits in their updates, usually running M8 as admin(even if your already logged in as admin) fixes that.
Running M8 in XP compatibility mode on Vista and Win7 is a good idea too.
FREEZING
Yes there are times when keyboard and mouse interaction from the user is disallowed.
This is to ensure the cursor is and stays where it should be during those crucial bits,
when its done the user regains control.
If for some weird reason it doesn't come back do a control-alt-delete to regain full control.
PS Let me know if I missed a problem that someone brought up....
Also I noticed that auto-reconnect is now broken in 2.28, will fix it for 2.29.

Yes, tick DropSay in mineopts and then tick for OFF in voice alerts.
Thanks for all your work =D
