In this case, 0x43fd. Now, magically, when I click the Request Advenure button in the client I no longer get invalid opcodes and the server/client respond properly. This only works, of course, if there is code to handle the OpCode in question (I believe...) so if it's some completely new functionality, yeah it won't work.

Not sure where they got the opcodes for Anniversary Edition already, unless it is a mere copy of another one and they plan to change it as things show up invalid? But you might start there, CC... Find this "OP_CharacterCreate=" in your patch_Anniversary.conf (currently appears to be 0x0000 or "off"), change the code to matche what is being thrown in your logs as invalid.

I could be totally talking out my ass, and I am sure there are TONS more to compatibility than this, but it's something you can play with in the meantime to keep you out of trouble.

If I had AE, I would help troubleshoot it. I'd love to start using a new client.

Any chance you could post the opcodes you "found" that way? I'd love to play with that too on my development server and it would certainly save me some steps.

Long ago, I found one having to do with AA's by trial and error. I hadn't messed with it much til starting the LDoN work, which the above Opcode is all I have discovered so far. Since I do not understand how to read packet data, if the server doesn't throw an error that the opcode was 'wrong' for a certain action, I cannot magically fix it by using the right opcode (which was this case; was 0x0000, the server wanted 0x43fd, so I just had to tell titanium.conf to use that instead of 0.

It's not complicated what I do. I wish I could read and understand packet data.
