create_master by default puts the account file in the location generated similar to:

uh -n -l 2 -g ttales USERNAME

 

Correct path should be similar to: 

uh -n -l 0 -g ttales USERNAME

 

About uh

 

uh -n -l <integer> -g <Game/region: eg. ctales, ttales, jtales, tales> USERNAME
uh          Outputs the generated path for said USERNAME based on each client's hash table search value
-n          Only appends a new line (\n) to the end of out.
-g          Game client type
USERNAME    Username ;-)

 

Interestingly, the DB hash table is required by the server is apparently based on Taiwanese Server ttales.

This coincides nicely with the fact that the original 4.04 server files (the 3.5 files were Japanese I believe) released were Taiwanese, bundled with Taiwanese client.
