[Help]Character load error

[Shànks♠]

Hello,
I've added the new ep6 gears in client & the new OS weapons.I've used the TeddyBear guide from CyC and import all the gears succesfuly. I used LPH tool to build a data then took both data.sah/saf put them in client opened game.exe tried to log in and getting the error "Character Load Error" then i remade the data with new names in the gears/weapons i added also change database + game.exe but still the same error.
Anyone can help me ?

Ok i added them all encrypted. The ''Character Load Error'' gone and now getting SGraphic error and game close.

Should I change client or files missing and getting dc?

I changed client and worked didnt get any DC but when i edited items from shstudio I started getting DC's again what I'm doing wrong?

possibly something in the "i edited items from shstudio" but only you know which files were edited and which changes were made.

I've done a test added couple new weapons files 3DO/DDS . Edited in ShStudio and when i tried to get in char screen dced I removed them putted the old files back and everything works perfect.
What I'm doing wrong?

so your 3DO files are may be invalid, the game loads all files w/o any tests and with a lot of assumptions, if a file is invalid or if the file is missing (also true for .3DC and .smod), the game crashes.

also note that a 3DO file can be opened by shStudio and still causes a crash of the game, shStudio tests the file, is able to fix abnormal values and does not use all fields of the meshes (bones or light information are not used).
shaiya 3DO files edited with shStudio usually work (I've never meet a case where the editor corrupts a file), OOH 3DO file imported from another game (and eventually edited with shStudio) can crash the game.

a missing DDS usually does not crash the game, the item is simply draw white, invalid DDS file will generates error within DirectX layer, the game can bypass the error or exit on error (I've never test that deeply).
