creating characters?

i dont know whats going on... every time i go to make a character and set everything all up...pick everything.
then i click the last page to create the character and EVERY time, it says "Not a valid Name."

so i can't create a character because no names will work.
anyone have any imformation/know how to fix this?

You tried every race/class?

Bet it's just any Kunark+ combos. I have the same issue. No Iksar, Vah Shir, Frogs, Beastlords for me.

What server(s) are you trying, and what class/race? I know that on some servers Vah Shir/Iksars (I think those were the two) were broke.

I still don't know how to fix this, by the way, on my own server.

A week ago, any race/class combo worked, now nothing Kunark+

I haven't changed anything major. Added some more mob info, changed the motd a few times maybe. Never messed with the expansion variable, and I looked, it hasn't changed.

For those SysOPs having this problem on their server, here's a fix (thanks Scorp)

Either get the new DR3 CVS, OR

Open common/database.cpp

Find Database::CreateCharacter

Replace

Code:

if(pp->race > 12)

return false;

if(pp->class_ > 14)

return false;

with

Code:

// if(pp->race > 12)

// return false;

// if(pp->class_ > 14)

// return false;

That will "comment" it out (as you may well know), allowing those races to be used. :)

I believe this works, let me know if I'm mistaken. It's probably just easier to get the new CVS, which appears to be fixed from what I can see.
