Don't forget that VS express can't compile on x64 mode

[ccoa]

So I recently started my own server and I got it to work, the only problem is that when I go to create a character it doesn't create.

Any idea on what's wrong and how I can fix it?

make sure you have run all updates on your database that are needed...
also check if you dont have any errors in your consoles...

Well in my ascent-world.exe I get some big error saying Sql query failed due to [column count does not match value count at row]

EDIT: Does it matter that I'm using a different database than the one that came with the repack?

yes cuz your database might be outdated now and in need of updates or too new for the core...
check what table that gives that error in the console and update the table and see if it works then...
what rev of arcemu/ascent u using?

Not sure

Pretty new to this stuff, but I'm using apples ascent v4 repack and I went and downloaded scythers blizzlike repack but the logon.exe didn't work in there so I thought I could just edit the config files in apples ascent to use scythers DB.

EDIT: The error is in the characters table

 * Config files are in a block->variable->setting format.                       *
 * A < signifies the opening of a block, the block name is expected after that. * 
 * After the block name, a space and then the settings sperated by = / ' '.     *
 *                                                                              *
 * e.g.                                                                         *

# Optional Settings
#
#    Starting Level
#	 This controls at which level characters are created. Range is from 1-70.
#	 Default: 1
#
#    Level Cap
#        This variable controls the level that stats will be generated up to internally.
#        Beyond this level players can still see a higher level visually but their stats won't
#        increase beyond this point.
#        Default: 70
#
#    Generated Level Level Cap
#	   This variable controls the level at which stats will generate up to. Generally the formulas go
#	   crazy after level 70 so this way you can keep the high visual but stats at a reasonable value.
#	   Default: 70

THe error i keep getting is about the tables not matching.. but i added the column it showed it was missing about Extendedcosts into the tables and it still wont go.. It also says Value at row1 doesnt match

[kreegoth]

Sorry for the flood of posts.. just got a lot of questions i guess LOL i was wondering if anyone could tell me if there was a way to change the amount of talent points a char gets when they level? cant seem to find anything for it in configs...

[Hasbro]

Is not implemented into the configs.
Funny, someone asked about this in IRC. You would have to modify the core for this to work

[kaothic]

Don't forget that VS express can't compile on x64 mode

Then what version of c++ I need?

[kaothic]

You need to delete your cache after editing items.
