...or perhaps you could actually try doing what you were told by two ninjas and several HS members first instead of finding some inappropriate workaround that breaks half of your game to log in?

Your read/write permissions are clearly set incorrectly. You don't see certain bodyparts because players' item.dat file doesn't update properly and no objs get downloaded. Same goes for MP list display, your item.dat most probably lacks qi info thus the game client assumes you're a white belt.


Fix your folder permissions, then remove read-only flag, then post again if you still experience any issues.
