Client 20180621 can't get to Character creation.

[Reinheit]

Hello there! 

Much like the issue on this post, I've no trouble logging in to the server.  However, when I try Creating a Character, the client closes itself (no error messages at all, even with no 'ignore' diffs). I've found 3 separate posts that suggest ( https://github.com/Asheraf/Translation) will fix the problem, but the link is dead unfortunately.  

I've tried just about everything else now, and I'm at a lost at what to do now. Hoping someone can guide me or share the Asheraf translation files directly! Thank you all dearly for your time.

Here are some of the things I've tried with the 2018-06-21aRagexeRE client --using a fresh unpack of kRO client folders (20200409 and 20180813) EACH TIME:

• PacketVER updated in defines_pre.hpp
• re-diffing the client (using Nemo 2021-01-21) using a variety of bare/debugging/recommended options. 
• switching between Zack's translation PRE and RE files --> these end up popping up other "[string "buf"]:xxxx: table index is nil" errors that are fixable, but not the core problem. 
• Disabling Pincode system
• Disabling Doram/Summoner
• replacing "select_character_ver3" textures (source)

I don't have many screenshots to share as the game just shuts itself down without any errors:

Better use this project and by the way read the wiki: https://github.com/llchrisll/ROenglishRE

You need to put this on your data.
Char Select Textures.zip

Thanks for the quick response, @Cookie-rae !  I'd actually tried this already -- both in the prioritized data folder and GRF. Unfortunately it still doesn't work. The client CLOSES without any errors when I try clicking any of the + cards:

Thanks @Mael, I'll give this a shot on a fresh unpack. Which wiki would you be referring to? I've been scouring all of them for answers as well --

• UPDATE: I tried the ||Chris|| translation packs as well (+texture replacements and Client Support replacements . The client still closes after clicking on Create Character. 

Would it make a difference which kRO pack I'm using? I have both 20180813 and 20200409. 

Alternatively, is there an kRO zip, translation project, and client # combination that has a higher chance of working together? I'm open to redownloading everything from scratch --> my main goal is to create a preRE server, with borrowed RE skills (which I don't mind manually implementing).

Terribly sorry everyone. This was a result of a faulty line in one of my .conf settings, which ruined the char server.
