Name rejected only on some characters.

[samandhi]

My server seems to be up and running just fine, but when I try and create <or anyone else as a matter of fact> an iksar or vah shir, I keep getting the "name rejected" error with any name I choose. I have tried dumping and replacing the db, and reinstalling eq. Even tried clearing the names in the db <found another post that had a similar problem and someone was kind enough to give the code for clearing the name, cause I dont know SQL at all hehe>. Here are my readings... If somone would help me out I would very much appreciate it.

I am using mw_052_053_alpha2.sql db with the update.sql that came with 0.5.3dr2... Again, any help would be most appreciated, as I cant find a post the has the same problem as this <though similar, the fixes for those problems didnt work with mine>... And also, those are the ONLY 2 chars I cant create due to the problem....

[Squiffy]

I run a live server, and have the same thing happen. Nobody can create cats lizards or frogs.

MW, current release, added GoD zones, added Myra's PoP. Everything worked fine 3-4 days ago.

[samandhi]

Yeah your right ... froggies too... I have been searching and searching, and trying new things and still nothing..... :( Is anyone else having this problem? I noticed that my son was not able to make a frog on someone else's server because of the name thing, but I dont remember on what server it was, as I didint think there was a problem at the time. So lets see, I have reinstalled EQ, reinstalled the db (hell, reinstalled mysql from scratch hehe), reinstalled (re-compiled eqemu).... there isnt anything left to reinstall... I wonder if it is something in the db iteself, as it is the only common denominator in this (the only thing that has stayed the same), though I have re-sourced it into mysql.

I know some servers have those races disabled and when you try to make one of them you get that error.

[Squiffy]

One funny side-note. I created a frog to test out what was happening, and it sent to World.exe as Race: 74. Looked that up out of curiosity since I thought Frogs were race 330 or so, and race 74 = Pirahna... so for some reason my client's telling World I'm trying to create a newbie Pirahna Paladin :shock:

The other race #s are fine, though, and still won't create.

Getting same problem using EQEmu-0.5.3-DR2- Win32-1-12-04. I have tryed both ways. With the default DB.sql and Dumpeditems.sql, as well as with MW_051_052_alpha1 sourced in.

Anyone got a fix for this? I read other post that suggest its a corrupt database, but Im getting the same issue the default DB.

[samandhi]

I checked out the table data for start_zones in mw_052_053_alpha2.sql and everthing seems to be in order... In other words, If you look at what race and choice world.exe assigned for that particular character Name approval request for:Raltorak race:130 class:8
Choice:13 then look at the data in the table start_zones, you will see there IS choice 13, and if you look at character ids, 130 IS the cat <which is also listed in the table correctly... Also the correct starting zone is listed in that table, so I am not understanding why it is doing this... I dont think it is the db that is the problem here, but I wonder if there is somethinag amiss in the code <which I dont know how to read>... Any research or advise from the experts would be GREAT at this time, as I dont seem to be the only one with this problem. TiA

[Squiffy]

Bump... anyone out there have a clue? Still not working for me.

[wize_one]

upgrade to DR3 they work..8)

[samandhi]

Yeah, upgrade done, and now am able to use all characters. Musta' been something in the code...
