Character Creation Stuck on Screen – Need Help

[soulfly]

Hi everyone,

I’m running into a issue and hoping someone here might have some insight. After successfully creating a character, the game suddenly gets stuck on the screen shown in the picture below. The only way I’ve been able to get past it is by completely exiting the client, which obviously isn’t ideal.

I once met this kind.It appeared when I changed from version 5517 to version 5065, because I replaced CharacterInAndOut.swf To version 5065, you will not directly enter the game after creating a character, so you must close the client and reopen the login.

Is the character created when you exit the client and relogin or you go through the creation process all over again and get stuck? because that happened to me once and it was because it was throwing a silent error during the creation which stopped the packets from being sent

No, it won't go back to creation process, instead after relogin the character is fine. As temporary solution, I tried to add disconnection after the character is created so It can just relogin. But it's kinda annoying Anyway, I'm running v6609

Yeah, this happen too in 5517, when I tried to change this CharacterInAndOut.swf to version 5065, but it seems like this file is no longer part of the version 6609 right?

I'm glad this can help you. You just need to replace this file, because the 5065 version of this file should have no subsequent code for logging in after creation, so you must close the client and log in again.

Yep, in old versions you always had to disconnect after the character creation indeed

Yes you were right, but I'm running a v6609 here and not classic but it supposed to login successfully after creating the character.

In newer versions of the client, it no longer backs you out to the login screen. Instead, it logs directly into the game. Nothing changed on the server side, but because most private servers incorrectly implemented character creation, it broke a lot of servers. In order to do this, a specific server message needs to be sent to the client using MsgTalk. The contents are ANSWER_OK, and the chat tone is 2100 (character creation screen). Can you check to make sure your server is sending this when responding to MsgRegister?

Yup was just coming here to say this as well. this is what I currently do in my 5517, no re login or dc.

对，我正要说这个。我现在在我的 5517 上就是这么做的，没有重新登录或断线。

You will only encounter this problem when you replace the old swf, and then you will not send any packets to the client.

Interesting, I'll update my thread some time this week with my changes I wonder if my client ive been using had that change before i got it or if the code is backwards compatible? I basically do exactly that to not have to relogin on character creation on 5517. I wasnt running into that issue op was, I just wanted to see if i could skip that re log on creation, so probably just coincidental
