Error: Unable to load tree structure, the format is wrong

[Vouk]

Hey there!

My first post in this board and I already have a question... You get that a lot I reckon!

For a while I can't use the CentrED Client. The server works just fine, a friend of mine can use it without any problems.
But whenever I try to login (Either by directly connecting on the localhost or over the internet to my IP) I get this error:



When I click 'OK' nothing happens. My 'login' is displayed in the server log and also active users on the server get the
message that I've logged in. But the client's just trying to initialize and nothing happens.

It worked just fine for weeks and months, but now it's just totally screwed up.
Of course I tried reinstalling CentrED, trying different UO directories and filesets, but nothing worked.
I also googled and searched this board for this error message but I didn't find anything.

Some other infos on my system:
I'm running Ultima Online AOS on a Win XP SP2 system and as I said it worked just great until Mr. Errormessage kicked
me virtually in the balls.

I'm lookin' forward to your replies!
Thanks,
Vouk

Seems like an unhandled error ... I'll put it on my list
The cause is a corrupted (or "outdated" in case CentrED was updated) "locations.dat" file. Just delete that. The downside is, it contains the locations you saved, so you will lose them :-/

heh! The locations.dat ... Never guessed that!

Thanks a lot, it worked perfectly. And I didn't have any saved locations whatsoever.

(Think abour a new error-message... 'Your locations.dat is fucked up! Delete that piece o' crap' )
