Error about an "Alpha character."

[FiberOptics]

Hello, I recently decided to try and setup a Dragon Raja server for personal use. Anyways, I got it up in running in an hour or so except I would get an incorrect version error. So I read the forums and found people saying that if you put the ID in the gmtable then it wouldn't give you that error. Anyways I downloaded a file from the forums that was a hex edited DBDemon called DBDemon_nogm.exe to stop that from happening. Now I am able to login, however, I can't create a character. It shows four characters already made with odd symbols as their name and a high level. When I try to login to one of what seems to look like a "character" it says something about "You cannot login with an Alpha test character" or something like that. I searched these forums so it most likely hasn't been mentioned yet. Anyone know a solution to this problem??? (I searched with a keyword of only alpha so don't tell me to search better)

Anyone know what the problem is?

The char has to be:
1. be registered at one account in Chr_logInfo
2. has to have an id in chr_info
3. be registered in TotalDB -> Chr_loginfo as well.. should be working fine then..

[FiberOptics]

Oh, well I created a fresh account and it shows four characters that have weird symbols as names and i cannot make a character....

Edit: Here is a screen shot of the error I get;

Edit2: I put the same info in both Char_log_info tables... and when I login it still shows the weird error in the screenshot above.. By the way I want to make a character, not give myself a character through editing the tables... So wouldn't I not need to touch the Chr_Info table?

Really weird, try to ensure that in chr_info there are no characters yet, also that in chr_log_info no characters are registered to that account. Plus check the beta_id and betaok, probably they're registered there as beta accounts. And the last thought I got is, that they may come up 'cause they're registered in a guild or something, check guild_list and guild_memberlist. :o

We had this on our server when we just got things going. Can't remember though, all xprocx correct?

I just checked to see if there are no characters in chr_info, i deleted everything there was in that table. Also i deleted everything in chr_log_info. I also deletec every account that was on the server and restarted everything new. I also checked the beta_id and the betaok tables and there was nothing in them, and I still get the same problem with a "cannot use alpha character."

Thralas, what do you exactly mean by xprocx?

[bbblack]

Hm, maybe you should check out the CharIDCount, maybe it's just 0 and the server considers the characters as alphachars..

I just looked at the CharIDCount table and it shows CharIDCount as 5.

Edit: Could it be something with my Logins that I make? When I make a login, i put a number on id_index (one higher then the previous) then i put a login name, password, password hint (which I beleive is not needed) and d_kyulje (have no idea what this is but it seems to be required), all of that in the chr_log_info. Those are pretty much the only fields I need to fill in right? (also i put the same information in the chrlogdb in the chr_log_info table).

[bbblack]

SELECT MAX(id_index) AS 'maxid' FROM chr_log_info
maxid +1
INSERT INTO chr_log_info (id_index, login_id, passwd, passwd_hint, d_sex, d_jumin, d_kyulje) VALUES(maxid, 'accname', 'password', 'passwordhint', 'sex', '111111-111111', 319)

That's what I got. If you do not have ANY chars at all on any account, but your charidcount says 5, thats freaky. Not sure whether you have any chars, if not, put it to zero.

[FiberOptics]

Yeah, I don't have any characters... Because I get this problem when I try to create my character.

This is how i made my account and it works

In totaldb u need to make a account in chr_log_info. Next in totaldb find gmtable and just put ur username in then exit that if all is right you should be able to login

Well, I know I am making my accounts correct... I even used the query bbblack put in this thread to make the accounts and I still get the "cannot use alpha test character" when I double click a slot while logged in to try and make a character. Also I am using dbdemon_nogm.exe, so I don't have to put them in the gmtable because the .exe gets rid of the "version" error.

[bonkers]

try doing what i said and using the reg exe to start the game see what happens

The created character has to be in th Chr_Info2 as well, I had that error just when I had to wipe and then I had to remove all this shit from Chr_Info2 to make it work. :o

No, but there are no characters. I will re-explain it in, hopefully, clearer detail. When I login, in a fresh database with no characters yet I double click a slot to create a character (all 4 character slots have weird symbols and their levels are like 204). Once I double click the slot It gives me an error messege saying "Cannot use alpha test character," or something like that. Even though I said all "slots" have characters with weird symbols, they aren't characters... This happened in .my once. And even If i were to look at all my chr_info tables, there would not be any characters at all on the server.
