Once your characters appearance, voiceset, portrait etc..are altered you save the edited character file and send it to one of the DM's along with your Player Login so we know where the character file needs to go. (my contact e-mail can be found on my website from the url in my signature), We then check the character file is acceptable and add it to your player vault folder in the servers vault thereby making the character accessible to you for play.The other program I mention CODI has a further use many seem unaware of, namely it is necessary for if you want to play a character that is a Brownie or Wemic, which are the 2 new races CEP added.. you have to make a character in CODI and choose the race wemic ro brownie there.. choosing these races cannot be done via LETO, although leto could allow you to appear as either race..without actually being them as explained above.  Not quite sure why it wasnt possible for the CEP crew to make the two new races chooseable in the standard fashion, but they arent and you have to use the method I mention here in order to play one.</blockquote>
