Hope that helps,

Ok, thanks Alathon.

Do you have this somewhere, or are you only allowing one character?



If I understand you correctly, it may be because if you only allow 1 character, character handling by default just logs you into that character.

Explain for me exactly what is happening. When you log in, does it just log you directly into the game? Or does it have you create a new character each time? I'm still not real clear on what is happening.

Well, I do log in and it asks for your name then you choose your character, but what is getting me is that it is not initiating the create character/delete character/quit part.

Are you talking about this?

#define BASE_MENU_CREATE_CHARACTER "Create New Character"
#define BASE_MENU_DELETE_CHARACTER "Delete Character"
#define BASE_MENU_CANCEL "Cancel"
#define BASE_MENU_QUIT "Quit"

These are simply definitions used withing the internal implementation of Deadrons CharacterHandling. They don't 'do' anything, they simply define values for later use. Deadron seems to not like quotation marks within his input() procs :) I'm not real sure why they are even with the rest of this, as they are located within a seperate file in his library.

[EDIT3] I forgot to mention I am not using any libs what so ever.

You are using a library, which is my CharacterHandling library.

If you zip up the project and email it to me at [email protected], I can look to see what's wrong. It's possible you are overriding client.New() or something and bypassing some of the library behavior.

I thought this looked like a bit of a bastardized version. I just don't see Deadron putting this within anything he wrote:

/*this is the creation of making a character, just edit this a little*/

:)

Ok, I will do that right now.

Just so you know, I may not get to this until tomorrow, as I will be out tonight.
