[Tutorial] Vindictus EU 1.65 Client/Server setup

[darrell0505]

Ok so I can get the game running and working before doing all of this stuff. When I try to start adding in everything to make it the EU 1.65 version it get like a File 36 or 33 error. The game will start but crash on the loading screen. And with my last attempt I got these.

Maybe I just can't grasp this but any kind of help would be appreciated.

Big thanks to Gvygvxvx. This would not be possible without his contributions.

This guide assumes you already have the Taiwan client and server functioning correctly.
Note that you DO NOT NEED the Taiwan client for this.

If you need the server, or need to know how to set up the server, go here.
If you want to set up the server for LAN or online play, go here.
If you want to use mods, read this thread.

So... why use this version?
Well, it has newer stuff. It also has Extreme/Premium mode features and difficulty.
For example, you can jump and do air combos. There's also a ranking system.
The English font is a little easier to read. No, you can't use Delia (this was pre-Delia).

I've been testing for a little, and no noticeable issues so far.


1. Download and unpack the EU client 1.65 version.
Scroll to the bottom of this link and grab the torrent magnet URL:

Or try this:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:6994EE21126845B8AC13C197C376073367B7D3BC&dn=Vindictus_1.65&tr=http%3a%2f%2fbt2.t-ru.org%2fann%3fmagnet

This client seems to be dated 24th of January 2016.

If you have the Taiwan client and don't want to re-download the whole thing, try this:



2. Download Gvygvxvx's updated heroesContents.db3 and updated bin folder.
Bin folder (mirrors):

This bin folder seems to be March 2016.

HeroesContents.db3 goes in MHTW_serverzh-tw-x-gmBin
You may want to back up your old database, just in case.

According to Gvygvxvx, with this database, XML modification is no longer needed.
If you have already modified your XMLs, you can revert to the original TW server files.


3. Update your Hosts file to redirect away from the US and EU official servers.
Add these lines to your Hosts file:

192.168.1.1 patch.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 heroespatch-gm.nexon.com
192.168.1.1 download.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 en.vindictus.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 de.vindictus.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 vtimage.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 support.vindictus.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 shop.vindictus.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 shop-gm.vindictus.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 download2.nexon.net
192.168.1.1 heroespatch-gm.nexon.com

Change 192.168.1.1 to 127.0.0.1 if you are only using local and not LAN/WAN.
Note that if you want to access the official servers you will need to remove these lines.

If you're still having problems, try adding the other lines from this link:
http://forum.ragezone.com/f944/release-vindictus-1106627-post8669716/#post8669716


4. Replace the Bin folder, UptoDateInfo2.dat and Vindictus.exe with the Taiwan client's files.
I just put a _ in front of their names, but you can move them elsewhere or delete them, if you want.


5. Copy nmconew.ini, start.bat, Vindictus.exe from the Taiwan client.
nmconew.ini should refer to your webserver.


6. On your webserver, make two new folders "en-EU-x-GM" and "en-US-x-GM".
Copy endpoint.txt and ShopList.aspx into these folders.
You don't need to change their contents (since they will be sent to the same server).


7. If you are using mods, also copy winnsi.dll and the Data folder.


8. Edit Start.Bat.
Contents will either be:

vindictus.exe -stage -dev -lang en-eu-x-gm -noupdate

or

vindictus.exe -stage -dev -lang en-us-x-gm -noupdate

Note that any changes to the heroesContents.db3 needs to refer to the right region.
For example, featurematrix changes need to be under the EN-US-X-GM or EN-EU-X-GM columns.
Similarly, sound mod filenames will need to be changed to match the different version.


9. Boot the server and client as normal.
EU client interface is a little different, but select server should allow you to select your server.
You can then log in as normal. Enjoy!


How to fix "failed to login" window:
After logging in, log back out and then in again. That should fix it.


Bonus database tweaks:
A few tweaks for heroesContents that I like to use. That's heroesContents, and NOT heroes.
Run these as queries in NaviCat or SQL Management Studio.

Delete almost any item:

update ItemClassInfo set Indestructible=0

Remove quest requirements:

update QuestConstraintInfo set RequiredStatus=0

Anyone can equip anything (great for equipping hair that your character normally cannot):

update ItemClassInfo set ClassRestriction='1023'

Let me know if I missed anything.
