I hadn't updated in quite a while and I ran an update yesterday and suddenly starting_skills has stopped functioning when I set a skill (ie fishing etc to 255/255). I checked character_skills and the skills did not appear in there after creating a new character

I took at a look at the code in WorldDatabase.cpp

void WorldDatabase::UpdateStartingSkills(int32 char_id, int8 class_id, int8 race_id, bool base_class){
Query query;
query.RunQuery2(Q_INSERT, "insert into character_skills (char_id, skill_id, current_val, max_val) select %lu, skill_id, current_val, max_val from starting_skills where class_id=%i and race_id=%i", char_id, class_id, race_id);
query.RunQuery2(Q_INSERT, "insert into character_skills (char_id, skill_id, current_val, max_val) select %lu, skill_id, current_val, max_val from starting_skills where class_id=%i and race_id=255", char_id, class_id);
if(!base_class){
query.RunQuery2(Q_INSERT, "insert into character_skills (char_id, skill_id, current_val, max_val) select %lu, skill_id, current_val, max_val from starting_skills where class_id=255 and race_id=%i", char_id, race_id);
query.RunQuery2(Q_INSERT, "insert into character_skills (char_id, skill_id, current_val, max_val) select %lu, skill_id, current_val, max_val from starting_skills where class_id=255 and race_id=255", char_id);
}
}

I thought maybe it might have been base_class being true but i put the query outside the if and it still did it

Mentioning it to scat he believes it may be related to the loginserver

Just to note: I am using a version of minilogin that might be out of date, i'm not sure but will look into that now, my build is 19th december 2008 if that's of any help
