cant create characters with server admin 2 mod
Hello Chips,
I hope I have posted in the correct forum and you can help me with a problem. I was using your excellent Server Admin 2 mod in conjunction with Ion-cross IFSO on my server. Every thing was working fine except: problem 1:the AI shield regeneration ,which i could not get to work. problem 2: "This is the most important !" After trying several different starting ship and starting locations changes (testing) I started getting a "character name already in use" error. Neither I nor anyone else could create a new character. After a trying several things I decided to wipe the server clean and start over, as it was only a test setup anyway, and I assumed the server held all account information. Now for the hard part. I hope you will be able to help me and I have seen a similar problem posted on another site by the "Mercenary Navy" also using your mod, where they were unable to create characters. I am unsure if they have since corrected the problem, but if so the solution has not been posted. As for me after wiping and reloading the server i expected everything to return to the previous working setup, but no such luck. Now (even with fresh downloads / installs of all programs including xp) every time I try to load up your excellent server mod no one can create characters. If i inactivate the mod we can make characters. I don't think the problem is with your mod directly but i really would like to use it again. I have also reloaded my fl game and I still get the "character name already in use" error and it is still using the same account id number and will not regenerate a new account number. I have been banging my head and searching for an answer for a week now and no luck. I pray you have a suggestion for me on how to fix this error / problem.
Thanks in advance! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

) fix the issue. Corrupt files, or running it without the mod at any point could have caused this - as save games with locked gates will corrupt ALL the saves with unlocked gates, and then more trouble occurs. Also - you might have to watch out for options with IFSO clashing with the mod. I never tested it with the Operator, mainly cause i didn't know anything about it at the time
