Then obviously, MEF isn't fully removed.

[lloyd92]

Then obviously, MEF isn't fully removed.

is it possible to remove mef when the client is already complied?
if yes please tell me how? ty

[Vusion]

It's possible through countless edits of ASM, but you'd need to find the addresses yourself, which is just 5 minutes work through source.

okay thanks for the info, when i've figured it out i will post the fix here. thanks again!

[theodor2005]

I will now upload a DEBUG runnable with .mef completely removed. As a favour back tho, tell me if your character select screen is working properly, what OS you're using and I would like your mlog :)

/// update

your debug runnable fixed everything i am busy transelating it into english

[SwaqNamedEs]

Eh There all wrong, Had this same problem.

Some off the maps you have arn't there.

Copy your map folder from your client and replace it with the one in your matchserver. Or Vice-versa

[Vusion]

Also, debug doesn't read .MEF, it reads normal .XML files, totally forgot about that.

All the maps are in the matchserver/maps folder.
But client tried to open the .mef extension as you can see in the mlog.txt

[theodor2005]

I uploaded the debug client. Please tell me if that fixes your .mef problem as well as the black char. screen.

the .mef problem is solved with the debug runnable, but the the black screen at char screen is still there.

[Mitcho]

1) After you log in, wait for the character screen to show, and wait till you can actually see your character.

2) Wait 10-15 seconds at the character screen.

3) The where you character name is double click on it, and you should be able to succesfully log in.

Try this methode.

Kind Regards,
Shadow.

dont get me wrong here but i am able to login because i see the button of my character and i can create new ones.
but the login.mrs map shows black, like i dont see the train and stuff.

[Mitcho]

So you're like you don't see anything in any maps ingame?

PS: Once that happens once, it'll happen to all your maps until you restart. Make sure you have all the maps. Lets say you don't have Battle Arena but you do have Town. Once you try to play in Battle Arena, you won't be able to play it since you don't have the map data. Then if you try Town, same thing happens.

So like if you have canno't create a game in mansion then you gotta restart your gunz again then you able access other maps.

the weird thing is it only happens at the character select screen, every other map works fine now with the debug runnable.

So it must be something with the login.mrs ???? o.O

[Mitcho]

Thinks so, or you should use another login.mrs

[lloyd92]

Already tried some that were released here at the forums, but all show up black :(
Also i checked inside default.mrs if everything was correct.

But also there the charselection.xml or something like that, looked completely normal...

And some good news i hex edited the debug runnable and got rid of some debug text and transelated damage text to english, if you guys want it i could post it here?
