Here you can discuss packets, implementation and design, and software related to the packet sniffing and such. This is not the place to post packages for POL, but rather discuss the packet side of them.
I use client 7.0.18.0 now, and i get everytime after login this message. Everything works fine, but this message make me worries, where is the problem?
I get the same error when I try logging in with Stygian Abyss Classic version 7.0.7.1. I have other problems as well such as the client freezing after taking three or four steps. One thing I do notice is that right after getting in game my character's paperdoll usually appears when I am using earlier clients but when using this client it doesn't appear. Double clicking on my character opens a health bar and some kind of overlay on my character but no paperdoll and my character's name doesn't appear in the health bar. It's just blank where the name should be. Could the 0xC* packet have something to do with the paperdoll not showing up? Sorry I can't offer any help but atleast you know it isn't just you getting the error. BTW I am using the latest SVN build for the POL server and the current "Distro" with mods made so it would compile properly.
No, this packet has nothing to do with paperdoll. C8 is only 2 bytes length and used to set client view range. 1 byte is a packet id c8 and 1 byte is this range 0x12 = 18, but i cant understand why it's not available in pol.
For your problem: i think you have somewhere in logon.src SendPacket(who,"BD....") with old packet size, that is why your client freeze. Just remove this line and it would work
I don't see a "typedef" for the C8 packet in the POL Core source code (\pol\network\packets.h). If I understand what I am seeing, and that is questionable since I don't know C, it looks like it was never implemented. I would imagine if it was added to the core there would be a definition in that file for it.
Youre correct Yukiko that has not been implemented yet.
It has most likely been put aside of more important stuff to implement, but I will take a look at that packet when I have again time to do something about UO and Pol
