Out of ideas

[provocating]

One of my servers is working off January source, and until I can move some of my custom things over, I am going to have to keep using that source. These are the lines I will have to change if I am thinking right.

bufptr += strlen(emu->name[r]);

And add this, like you did, which both will have to be done differently. The entire function has changed.

eq_cse->Name[0] = '\0';

This is the current function in total.

ENCODE(OP_SendCharInfo)
	{
		ENCODE_LENGTH_EXACT(CharacterSelect_Struct);
		SETUP_VAR_ENCODE(CharacterSelect_Struct);

		//EQApplicationPacket *packet = *p;
		//const CharacterSelect_Struct *emu = (CharacterSelect_Struct *) packet->pBuffer;

		int char_count;
		int namelen = 0;
		for (char_count = 0; char_count < 10; char_count++) {
			if (emu->name[char_count][0] == '\0')
				break;
			if (strcmp(emu->name[char_count], "<none>") == 0)
				break;
			namelen += strlen(emu->name[char_count]);
		}

		int total_length = sizeof(structs::CharacterSelect_Struct)
			+ char_count * sizeof(structs::CharacterSelectEntry_Struct)
			+ namelen;

		ALLOC_VAR_ENCODE(structs::CharacterSelect_Struct, total_length);

		//unsigned char *eq_buffer = new unsigned char[total_length];
		//structs::CharacterSelect_Struct *eq_head = (structs::CharacterSelect_Struct *) eq_buffer;

		eq->char_count = char_count;
		eq->total_chars = 10;

		unsigned char *bufptr = (unsigned char *)eq->entries;
		int r;
		for (r = 0; r < char_count; r++) {
			{	//pre-name section...
				structs::CharacterSelectEntry_Struct *eq2 = (structs::CharacterSelectEntry_Struct *) bufptr;
				eq2->level = emu->level[r];
				eq2->hairstyle = emu->hairstyle[r];
				eq2->gender = emu->gender[r];
				memcpy(eq2->name, emu->name[r], strlen(emu->name[r]) + 1);
			}
			//adjust for name.
			bufptr += strlen(emu->name[r]);
			{	//post-name section...
				structs::CharacterSelectEntry_Struct *eq2 = (structs::CharacterSelectEntry_Struct *) bufptr;
				eq2->beard = emu->beard[r];
				eq2->haircolor = emu->haircolor[r];
				eq2->face = emu->face[r];
				int k;
				for (k = 0; k < _MaterialCount; k++) {
					eq2->equip[k].material = emu->equip[r][k].material;
					eq2->equip[k].unknown1 = emu->equip[r][k].unknown1;
					eq2->equip[k].elitematerial = emu->equip[r][k].elitematerial;
					eq2->equip[k].color.color = emu->equip[r][k].color.color;
				}
