Password check error

[chiCHI]

Hello all,

 

i'm having this problem where i type in my password *correctly* but in some way the client gives a gibberish one to the server resulting in a login fail (see the screenshot below). i'm using 2012-04-10a client, and rA revision 17223. in the mmo.h, its already set to 20120410, and in the packet_db.txt, i have already set the packet_db_ver to 30. am i missing something here? sorry if this is a noobish question, i just got back from hibernating for almost a year and many things changed. thanks for the help always much appreciated. 

 

 

SOLVED: Use ANSI encoding when saving txt files that are being read by the server. I was using UTF-8, thus the error above^

Please close tnx

conf/login_athena.conf

use_MD5_password: yes

when i did that, my char server is not connecting to my login server anymore, because the passwords use for the intercommunication between servers are now encrypted therefore not authenticating. >_< what gives?

 

EDIT: i tried an older client, a 2010-07-30, edited mmo, packet_db, and i was able to login. now i ask, what is the difference between that client and a 2012-04-10? i would really like to use the most latest and stable one, but i'm having problems diffing it. 

the diff plugin SkipPacketHeaderObfuscation sometimes shows, and most of the time, don't.

 

if using a 2010-07-30 client can give these features:

- customs

- complete 2-2 jobs support only (no RK job, etc)

- latest headgears and equipments

 

then i would just rather use the older one, for compatibility's sake

please enlighten me on this, i've been reading threads and tutorials for hours now. thank you.

I am also a beginner developer I don't know alot.

First, use the tutorial from the wiki (Encrypting the password) then use my tutorial.
