Problems with character creation 5.7 - DR2

[Phlips79]

All,

I set up a server using the 5.7 code. I can log in just fine, and get to character select screen. I go through the character creation process, but after I choose a name, it says "Name rejected..."

I did patch EQ to the May 5 patch (didn't think about setting an emu server until later on in the evening).

I used this tutorial to set up my server, but recompiled 5.7 for the newest world.exe and zone.exe:

I replaced code as recommended by this post:

Here is the text from my world.exe:

by the look of it when you followed the advise:

go to ..\common\eq_packet_structs.h

go down to struct CharCreate_Struct

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

you didn't go all the way to the bottom of the CharCreate_struct.. take a look at it, if there's more coding before the next segment cut it out and stick it at the end, that should sort it.

yeah that fixed my creation problem right up... =)

No problem

Reloading my db and everything from scratch - I'll give that a try and update here. Thanks!

You're absolutely right, I didn't go all the way to the end.

That fixed it.

You, sir, fucking rule.
