-Hime- and Nexon Employees/Programmers, please take a minute or an hour to read this post to try to understand it and enjoy getting your fellow maplers back into the Cash shop without the Error 38 with all this logical and useful data if you havn't figured anything out yet. Starting credits goes to whoever suggested that lowering items in your inventory space worked. This is my 12 hours+ mind-numbing report.
This is my testings with going into Cash shop and finding out what caused the DC by multiple accesses into Cash Shop and multiple DCing with results.
Starting out the testing on my character
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notation: Example: 48+04+12+10+17 = OK
48 = Equips in equip tab (naked character, but doesn't matter), including CS equips.
+
04 = How many USE slots are taken up.
+
12 = How many ETC slots are taken up.
+
10 = How many Set-up slots are taken up.
+
17 = How many cash shop slots are taken up in the cash shop tab.
= OK = I made it into Cash shop
= DC = I dced when trying to get into cash shop with error 38
= DC Blackout = The whole screen turned black when I tried to get into Cash shop. Didn't dc, didn't get in. Just all black. This is the TIP of the dc problem. VERY critical cases.
48+04+12+10+17 = OK
48+05+12+10+17 = OK
48+06+12+10+17 = DC Blackout
48+14+12+10+17 = DC

46+11+12+10+17 = OK
46+12+12+10+17 = OK
43+12+12+10+17 = OK -> Hat_1, Earring_1, and Cape_1 CS Equips to CashShop storage.
...
...
43+29+12+10+17 = OK
43+30+12+10+17 = DC -> Work backwards, bringing CS items back 1 at a time to test.
44+29+12+10+17 -> Took Hat_1 from CS to equip slot.
44+24+12+10+17 = OK
44+25+12+10+17 = DC
45+24+12+10+17 -> Took Earring_1 from Cs to equip slot.
45+19+12+10+17 = OK
45+20+12+10+17 = DC Blackout
46+19+12+10+17 -> Took Cape_1 from CS to equip slot.
46+14+12+10+17 = OK
46+15+12+10+17 = OK -> Note, this was minus 4 to USE, which other tests dced with error 38 after.
46+16+12+10+17 = DC
Move on for clearer results.

Slight chance in notation time for my better references.
Notation: Example: (10)39(9)+50+12+10+15(2)
(10) = 10 equip items are CS in equip tab (or could be equipped, doesn't matter)
39 = 39 total items in equip tab (or un), including CS+Normal Equips
(9) = I have 9 equip items in cash shop. This makes NO DIFFERENCE TO ANYTHING but for my reference.
+
50 = Total slots in USE taken up.
+
12 = Total slots in ETC taken up.
+
10 = Total slots in Set-up taken up.
+
15 = Total slots in CashShop tab taken up.
(2) = How many CS items that go into the CS tab are in CS. This makes NO DIFFERENCE TO ANYTHING but for my reference.
39+49+12+10+15 = OK -> Take out Perm Kino from CS; Add another wheel of Destiny into CS.
(10)39(9)+50+12+10+15(2) = DC Blackout
(10)39(9)+50+12+10+14(3) = OK -> Add 3rd WoD into CS.
(10)39(9)+51+12+10+14(3) = OK
(10)39(9)+52+12+10+14(3) = DC
(10)39(9)+50+12+10+14(3) = OK -> Take out 3rd wheel; Add Store Permit.
(10)39(9)+51+12+10+14(3) = OK
(10)39(9)+52+12+10+14(3) = DC
(10)39(9)+52+12+10+13(4) = ok -> 2 wheels, store perm, perm kino in cs
(10)39(9)+53+12+10+13(4) = ok
(10)39(9)+54+12+10+13(4) = ok
(10)39(9)+55+12+10+13(4) = DC
Solution Equation Time!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notation: Example: (10*4.1)+29+49+12+10+(14*1.1) + 2.1 = 158.5 + CSSnail *** 1 wheel in cs
(10*4.1) = I have 10 CS items in equip tab (or equipped). They each weight around a value of 4.x, in which I take the worst case scenario and put it to 4.1.
+
29 = How many equips i have in equip tab (or equipped), excluding any CS equips.
+
49 = How many USE slots are taken up
+
12 = How many ETC slots are taken up
+
10 = How many Set-up slots are taken up
+
(14*1.1) = I have 14 None pets in my CS tab. They weight 1.x each, so worst case scenario 1.1.
+
2.1 = I have a permanent kino, and it's value is around 2.x. Worst case scenario 2.1.
=
158.5 + CSSnail = The total value/weight I come up with, and I havn't come up with a value for the 5 hour snail you get from the Mars the Fairy quest, so I just add him at the end.
*** 1 wheel in cs = what is in the Cash Shop from the Cash Shop tab that was taken away from the start of all tests from my tabs; testing cash shop tab item weights.
(10*4.1)+29+49+12+10+(14*1.1) + 2.1 = 158.5 + CSSnail *** 1 wheel in cs
(10*4.1)+29+50+12+10+(13*1.1) + 2.1 = 158.4 + CSSnail *** 2 wheels in cs
(10*4.1)+29+52+12+10+(13*1.1) = 158.3 + CSSnail *** perm kino and 1 wheel in cs
(10*4.1)+29+52+12+10+(12*1.1) + 2.1 = 159.3 + CSSnail *** 3 wheels in cs
(10*4.1)+29+55+12+10+(12*1.1) = 160.2 + CSSnail *** perm kino, 2 wheels, 1 shop in cs
Key Note: The range weight values of all my items in my character tabs + equipped items was around 158. Remember this number.

My friend has kindly offered his assistance in testing the CS DC glitch and helping each other find out the cause of it. This is our results on this Sin.
Level 188 Night Lord Test:
23 equips non CS, 9 CS items equipped which was NOT factored in the below test.
6 dead pets, 1 perm pet, 1 tagged dead pet, ap, charm, pet tag, store, 2 wheels in CS tab.
19+27+7+14+14 = 81 dc
19+26+7+14+14 = 80 ok
19+27+7+14+13 = 80 ok -> Pet with name tag went into cs
19+28+7+14+13 = 81 ok
19+33+7+14+13 = 86 dc
19+29+7+14+13 = 82 ok
19+30+7+14+13 = 83 dc
19+30+7+14+12 = 82 ok -> Random cs item back in cs
19+31+7+14+12 = 83 ok
19+32+7+14+12 = 84 dc
19+30+8+14+12 = 83 ok
19+31+8+14+12 = 84 dc
19+31+8+14+11 = 83 ok
19+31+8+14+12 = 84 dc
19+31+8+14+12 = 84 dc
19+30+8+14+12 = 83 ok -> Taking equipped CS gear to Equip slots.
20+30+8+14+12 = 84 ok
21+30+8+14+12 = 85 ok
27+30+8+14+12 = 91 ok
20+30+8+14+12 = 84 ok -> All covers on, unequip a normal equip
26+30+8+14+12 = 90 ok -> No nx covers in equip slot, just normal equips
26+30+9+14+12 = 91 ok -> ........
26+31+8+14+12 = 91 ok -> ........
19+31+8+14+12 = 84 dc
20+30+8+14+12 = 84 dc -> Added random equip from outside to char slot.
19+30+8+14+12 = 83 dc -> Equipped that item.
19+30+8+14+12 = 83 ok -> Took out that equip from char.
Level 188 Sin Test (All resulted in DCs at the tips):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(09*4.1)+42+27+7+14+(11*2.1)+(3*1.1) = 153.3 -> Dced with 1 etc/use too much.
(09*4.1)+42+30+7+14+(10*2.1)+(3*1.1) = 154.2 -> Put tagged pet in CS
(09*4.1)+42+31+7+14+(10*2.1)+(2*1.1) = 154.1 -> Put Non-pet into CS
(09*4.1)+42+31+7+14+(10*2.1)+(2*1.1) = 154.1 -> Unequipped items and put into equip slots. No difference in the calculation. Still Tip of the DCing.
(09*4.1)+43+30+7+14+(10*2.1)+(2*1.1) = 154.1 -> Added new equip to character, result in dc. When trading it away, result back in.
Key Note: The range weight values of all this sin's items in his character tabs + equipped items was around 154.
The range values in the end were around 4 - 6 points off of my mage test, which is possible since this sin had alot of pets which would result in different weight values. Looking at both of these results, it is VERY CLEAR that this data will be extremely helpful for the programmers at Nexon.
Solutions:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution #1: The problem does not pertain to extended slots, as slots have been used up past normal amounts without problems with proper adjustments.
Solution #2: Cash Shops "EQUIPS", not cash shop items in the cash shop tab of a character, have a very high weight within this formula and the largest variable resulting in the Error 38 crash. This may be due to a memory allocation problem or a buffer overload, or more simply an error in the code itself. However, all items in the characters tabs + equipped items all add up in the equation, just that Cash Shop "Equips" have the highest association with the problem.
Solution #3: USE and ETC items weigh the same in the equation.
Solution #4: Equip items on or off mean the same thing.
Solution #5: The problem IS NOT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ITEMS YOU HAVE.
Solution #6: Cash Shop items in the cash shop tab of a character (not in the actual cash shop storage in Cash Shop), have different weights. Pets have much higher weights than wheels of destiny and permits. This may be due to pets having longer coding than other CS tab CS items. Cash shop items in these tabs have higher weight than USE and ETC, but less than CS item weight from the CS Equips in the Equips tab/equipped on the character.
I hope the programmers of Nexon and fellow maplers will find all of this to their great use.
