Ridiculous Girl Posted May 22 Posted May 22 (edited) well, apparently if one has 1000 characters on a shard and you try to make another you get a nice pop up that tells, with no spaces in-between words, that you have hit your character limit... but! if you are a serial altoholic *cough* and transfer an alt to another shard, because the Hyperpotamus (NO! it's taken and it is an IP!!!! 😭) desperately needs to brought to life, and whilst in the middle of the character transfer, you try to open the character creator before the transfer is acknowleged as completed, you will be told you have no more room on the shard and politely asked if you would like to visit the store, presumably to purchase more character slots... alas i was not taken to a store and i cannot purchase more to exceed 1000 alts for my preferred shard. i just thought you would like to know... 😄 Edited May 22 by Ridiculous Girl added something :) changed the title X3 3 "I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours" the Cheshire Cat "Ce n'est rien de mourir; c'est affreux de ne pas vivre" (It's nothing to die, it's terrible not to live) Jean Valjean "وطن المرء ليس مكان ولادته و لكنه المكان الذي تنتهي فيه كل محاولاته للهروب” (Home is not where you were born, home is where all your attempts to escape cease.)

PeregrineFalcon Posted May 22 Posted May 22 I have to admit, this seems ridiculous. 😁 1 Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own.

Ridiculous Girl Posted May 22 Author Posted May 22 ok, apparently i can create characters... i just cannot use the create character button. that's broken. if i click on the empty slot, i can open the character creator. 😅 so, i only broke the character creation button... it does not want to work at all.

lemming Posted May 22 Posted May 22 (edited) Looks like the relevant part of the code: if (first_create_slot != -1) { createCharacterAndStuff(first_create_slot); } else if (inventoryClient_GetAcctAuthoritativeState() == ACCOUNT_SERVER_UP) { if (48 - db_info.base_slots + getVIPAdjustedBaseSlots() <= db_info.player_count) { int isVIP = AccountIsReallyVIPAfterServerSelected(); char *message = isVIP ? "HitShardCharacterLimit" : "HitShardCharacterLimitFree"; dialogStd(DIALOG_OK, message, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0); } else if (AccountGetStoreProductCount(&db_info.account_inventory, SKU("svcslots"), true) > 0) { startRedeemSlot(); } else { dialogStd(DIALOG_YES_NO, "AskStoreSlots", NULL, NULL, openStoreSlots, NULL, 0); } } else { dialogStd(DIALOG_OK, "InventoryNotLoadedSlots", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0); } So something about the line "48 minus base slots plus VIP adjusted being less that player count" is suspected not to be counting correct. Note this is the SCORE code, not current HC code. Edited May 22 by lemming SCORE 1 1

Marine X Posted May 23 Posted May 23 I would delete Playerslot.txt file offline then load game and see if that corrects it. That file has been known to be easily corrupted causing missing characters, etc, could be your issue. 2 " When it's too tough for everyone else, it's just right for me..."

Hmm, that might be in the old code.... this was the problem and it is replicable. i reset the playerslot.txt file and it moved everything so that 1000th slot was open. then the character creator button worked, when i moved the 999th alt into the 1000th slot it failed to work again. you were absolutely on the right track and i had not checked what you had said, and had the intention of trying that out too... 🙂 1 "I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours" the Cheshire Cat "Ce n'est rien de mourir; c'est affreux de ne pas vivre" (It's nothing to die, it's terrible not to live) Jean Valjean "وطن المرء ليس مكان ولادته و لكنه المكان الذي تنتهي فيه كل محاولاته للهروب” (Home is not where you were born, home is where all your attempts to escape cease.)

Ridiculous Girl Posted yesterday at 12:08 PM Author Posted yesterday at 12:08 PM i was a bit concerned when i transfered an alt to another server and found that my two open slots had actually disappeared... they came back after i logged of the server and then back in. 😬 "I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours" the Cheshire Cat "Ce n'est rien de mourir; c'est affreux de ne pas vivre" (It's nothing to die, it's terrible not to live) Jean Valjean "وطن المرء ليس مكان ولادته و لكنه المكان الذي تنتهي فيه كل محاولاته للهروب” (Home is not where you were born, home is where all your attempts to escape cease.)
