character creation

When i try to create a character i get through the creation process but the character doesnt show up. I think i got to the part of the code where the error is happening but i dont know what to do with this. It in client.cpp

Code:

case OP_CharacterCreate: //Char create

                {

                        if (GetAccountID() == 0)

                        {

                                cerr &lt;&lt; "Account ID not set; unable to create character." &lt;&lt; endl;

                                ret = false;

                                break;

                        }

                        else if (app->size != sizeof(CharCreate_Struct))

                        {

                                cout &lt;&lt; "Wrong size on OP_CharacterCreate. Got: " &lt;&lt; app->size &lt;&lt; ", Expected: " &lt;&lt; sizeof(CharCreate_Struct) &lt;&lt; endl;

                                DumpPacket(app);

                                break;

                        }



                        CharCreate_Struct *cc = (CharCreate_Struct*)app->pBuffer;

                        if(OPCharCreate(cc) == false)

                        {

                                database.DeleteCharacter(cc->name);

                                APPLAYER *outapp = new APPLAYER(OP_ApproveName, 1);

                                outapp->pBuffer[0] = 0;

                                QueuePacket(outapp);

                                safe_delete(outapp);

                        }



                        SendCharInfo();



                        break;

What version of EQEmu are you using?

What version of EQ are you patched to?

You'll need the May 1st CVS Dump of 0.7.5-DR2 to be compatible with the April 28th Patch of EQLive.

I had the same problem the other night, dunno whats up with it.

I have 2 directories. One live patched and one at the 5.6 patch. I could create a character using my 5.6 patch, then log on the live patch one and play.

Ok , just got it fixed. This is for the rest of you guys that are having the same problem.

go to ..\common\eq_packet_structs.h

go down to struct CharCreate_Struct

add this on the end /*0140*/ int32 unknown140;

that should be it. :)

If you want to restore a back up all you have to replace are all exe and dll files from the older patch. The uifiles folder is recomended, but not required to restore. It jsut can cause funny things to happen if you don't but you can still play.

Great fix, worked perfectly. Client crashes now when zoning in tho. Could be from live patch or something.
