How do I stop players from spawning in Crescent Reach?

What client are you using? I know on live you can no longer start in anywhere but CR, and I'm not sure if RoF acts like this and it could be causing problems?

Last resort question, did you restart your server or #reloadallrules after doing all of this? Or are you doing it live without reloading or anything?

I have restarted my server enough that if I was getting a dollar each time I did it, I could retire from my day job

char_create_combinations table is what your looking for, change that plus the start_zones table

Ah yes, there is start zone there; however, I have no idea why it would override the rule value.

I don't think it's overriding anything, but that could be where that anomalous "383" zone_id value is coming from. I'll try changing it and see what happens.

Edit: Also, would expanding that table allow clients to perform more race/class combinations at character creation?

Yes, if you edited it and the allocations table. You may not have 'Tutorial' selected; therefore, it's sending you to Crescent Reach and not your set zone.

Success!

Changing the value in the char_create_combinations table fixed the issue! That's where the server was pulling that value from!

Thanks Furniture!

And thanks Kingly_Krab, too! I will experiment with more race/class combinations next!

Here is the code that processes the create character zone selection: https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/blob...ient.cpp#L1473

I don't have a database in front of me or I'd trace the logic...

Yes, I am!

What I did was change the entry in char_create_combinations to 9, then changed the same values to 9 in start_zones, along with providing the correct xyz coordinates.

The trick is that it searches for an entry in start_zones that matches the entry found in char_create_combinations. Those two have to match.
