What were you trying to do with your character, Vassal, and what files did you create?

when i did this, the problem i had was choosing the right reload .location.group and .location.locator. it took me ages experimenting with them before my character showed up. you could try copying another character's details (and commenting out that character) and seeing if that works?

 

[Vassal]

Well i tried that but wont showed up

Please, only one thread per issue. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

 

[Vassal]

OK

 

[CatalinaThePirate]

<b>Vassal,</b> check your code -

ch.location.locator = "Sitizen02";

Is that the way the locator is spelled in your version of the game? <b>S</b>itizen, or <b>C</b>itizen ?

 

[Verruckt]

I thought that was odd too cat, but it is infact spelled sitizen, though Sitizen02 is currently being used by another NPC...

Huh... That's funny. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Oh well!

Do you think there's a difference between the US and European versions regarding this?

Is your character file located in

programscharactersinit

or

programscharactersinitenglishinit

I am having similiar difficulties with my experiments. Maybe try the different directory?
