What is the structure of your "<ZONE>_CHR .TXT" file ? Reading what you are explaining (Sorry if i misunderstood), i think your txt structure isnt good, it should look like this :
Code:
2
SBU,EASTWASTE_CHR
ARM,NRO_CHR
Where
2=Number of models to load
SBU/ARM=Short Name of the model to load (Use EQInside/EQEmu GUide to know what it is)
EASTWASTE_CHR/NRO_CHR=Zone Name File where Shortname are located.
Also, in your DB, do you setup gender/helm too ? because its needed for some race, like snow bunny, race:176, need to have gender:2(Neutral), in order to show as a bunny.
