Client crash on player creation

Post by Sadahar »

Client: 6.0.13
When I create a new character everything is done allright but client freezes.
If I try out any older version like 5.0.9.1 its ok, there is no crash.
Maybe a core 'bug'?

Report this on the bug tracker.

It's a client support issue more than likely, rather than a core bug. But we can look into it in 099 if you post it to the bug tracker for us.

this is weird because I have been using client 6.0.13.0 already for a while now and never had problems like that

I have the same problem, just tested on RC2 and narrowed it down.
It doesn't happen on 6.0.1.6 but does on 6.0.1.7, so looked closer, and found that it's because core sends 0x25 packet (Add item to container) like it was <6.0.1.7 client (without grid index), that's why it hangs up. (and (found later) sends it because my oncreate script creates robe in characters backpack)
Tested it with 0x25 packethook, and uopacket.cfg entries like this...:

Code: Select all

Packet 0x25
{
  Length           21
  SendFunction     update:AddContainerItem
  Is6017           1
}
... didn't launch the "AddContainerItem" function (using 6.0.1.7 client), but this launched:

Code: Select all

Packet 0x25
{
  Length           20
  SendFunction     update:AddContainerItem
  Is6017           0
}
So it looks like core bug, cuz it doesn't recognise client version on char creation.
The simplest way to quick resolve it for now (if ur only using clients >=6.0.1.7) is to hook that packet, with uopacket.cfg:

Code: Select all

Packet 0x25
{
  Length           21
  SendFunction     update:AddContainerItem
}
And in the exported function "AddContainerItem" just return 0; - works for me.

Although this needs to be in the bug tracker.... not here anymore :P

Code: Select all

04-05-2009 MuadDib:
    Changed: Keys/Seeds for packets 0x8C sent by LoginServer. 6.0.1.7 to 6.0.4.0, I don't recommend using at all.
                 0xFEFEFEFC = UOKR Client
                 0XFEFEFEFD = 6050+ 2D Client
                 0xFEFEFEFE = Normal 2D client (pre-6.0.5.0 client)
	Note:    Change to keys is for passing these details from Loginserver to Gameserver during loginprocess.
	         Clients disconnect from LoginServer and Connect to Gameserver. This is the easiest method for
	         identifying the client type connecting to your game server since versions are handled to decide
	         this on the loginserver connection.
