I can`t create characters :( 5165

[denominator]

Ok so I still have the issue of not being able to create a character but I can create an account >.<

I am lead to understand that it`s because I have added something to the OldCODB? Is there any particular place that would cause this such as itemadd.txt? Or could it be ANYWHERE in the OldCODB that would cause the problem?

Please this is really annoying me now

[Korvacs]

Did you modify the layout of the character save files?

[denominator]

Nope But I read somewhere that Arco had a similar problem and deleted all chars and users to restart it. I tried that and still the same problem so I readded what I had deleted just so I can actually play the thing >.<

When you say character save files do you mean as in the C# source?

[Korvacs]

Are you sure you didnt modify the character save files, things like adding new functionality to the server can modify the character save files..

[denominator]

Ok I`m just trying to think and I added things for a ban system etc? I should take a look in character.cs to see if I have changed anything?

[Korvacs]

No, you need to check to see if you modify anything to do with character loading, or character saving in the database class.

It`s got to be something in that part? Because I see the "error try again" thing that I keep getting >.<

Hang on I don`t see the Flowers folder in OldCODB anymore o.0 Would that cause it?

[Korvacs]

Beats me, you could create it and see if that helps.

[denominator]

Yeah am going to try that then try create a char lol.

ROFL LOL ***** can you believe that because I didn`t have a folder called "Flowers" in there that`s why it wasn`t creating characters *****. Now I see how friggin tempermental it is >.<

Thank you for inspiring me to look in the right place I love you in a non gay way lol.
