Please you provide more information, such as: operating system, server version, how you installed the server, ...

I had a similar problem when I tried to get a server going on XP.

The installer did not create a folder for the character save files on its own. as soon as I did that my chars saved themselves just fine

You need to create a <crossfire directory>\var\players directory.
Also, making a <crossfire>\tmp can't hurt

i quite already had a player directory....
btw ryo i sent you the data with pm

Well, if directories & permissions are ok, i don't see why it can't save.....
And i checked, installer indeed creates var\players directory.

now it seems to save...if i try to log on tho i get a message that an unfriendly objedct is in friendly list or vice versa and then server crashes

and btw how can i get new gfx?i mean i have that very old gfx and some items like a forge dont even exist

Updates archetypes/artifacts (which is what you are probably asking for) are only available through CVS. Instructions for getting server are located at http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=13833 , the module name you want is 'crossfire', which will get you the whole server tree. You will want to replace your files in <your crossfire server>\share with the ones in <crossfire you got from cvs>\lib.

You can also get the 'arch' module, then use the collect scripts from the server's lib\adm directory to generate the archetype file manually.

Sorry if this isn't really clear...

errrr...i dont understand ANYTHING from that cvs thing >.<
cant anyone give me a direct download link to a new server version?
i mean i dont even get how to access and download that cvs thing
