AA Training not working..
 

OKay.. On my windows server.. I am getting an error:

"Unknown DB String 13xxx-1" at a cost of 1 Ability Point..

(xxx denotes a number apparantly pertaining to which ability you are trying to train)

Ok guru's... what am I missing? Is it Database related? or am I missing a "something.txt" or "something.conf" file in my eqemu/server directory?

Thanks...

BTW. Linux server still crashes on zoneing..... using the same db as the windows server that does NOT crash on zoning..

Q

not missing anything
 

For titanium, thats normal at the moment. The string 13500-1 aka 135001 is the description or title of the AA listed within a text document in the eq directory refering to Innate Strength i believe... Thus the tables in the database under altadv_vars, title_sid and desc_sid. In the aa window, you see that string but for some reason the client dosent process the information like a 6.2 compatable client would... just need to give it time to find what the issue is

Okay. Thats sort of what I thought.. so.. if I correct the database to match what is in the Text... I should be correct in the presumption that it would work?

Or is it an combination of opcode and text file I need to watch?

I do notice that if I have say 40 AA points... and I train in an AA, it does take away from the points, but does not add the ability to the character, and also does not increment the Cur/Max counter on the AA Table for the selected ability..

Checking the database.. it matches what is in "eqstr_en.txt".

For Example..
String 13500 IS innate strength...
13501 is the description for the ability innate strength.

Sourcing the database, it too matches the ID to the proper description.. however.. packet shows when an ability is selected to be trained, it sends 13500-1 as it's string that when the client pulls from the File.. does not match and therefore the client displays the error message about "Unknown DB String".

IF my presumption is correct, that would denote a possible error in the source code for AA's, would it not?

Probably a "struct"...?

I dunno.. I am not a coder.. just a troubleshooter..

dosent work
 

At the moment its just not working...

The setup right now works for 6.2 compatable clients, when you switch to titanium on the same servers, it dosent work. So something in the client changed... enough to the point the (possibly) structure isnt recognized by the server, or other ops have been implimented /shrug - thats one im gonna leave to the devs hah.

AA info isnt listed in the database, altadv_vars is just references to data within the client.

One thing i have found tho is that if you train in innate str 5 times, it seems to count it due to the fact it limits you to 5 'trains'

I am locking this because people dont know where to post support questions,


Derail another thread!
