My client is not reading HFS file modifications

[SilentNyle]

HFS folder has been unpacked using the HFS unpacker tool. I've modified some of the files to my liking, and in VindictusEU/data I've put new stuff for reading. Even though I've added winnsi.dll and nexon.api hook, the game still won't read any of my files. What did I do wrong?

With PerX I've managed to get winnsi.dll running and some of the stuff I wanted got into the game. Not all folders are accounted for though, such as "resource" which is the most important one. Nexon_api_hook is not working at all. That one is supposed to make every hfs folder readable.

I am in the same boat. Nexon_api_hook keeps throwing an error code when I run the client. I am using all 'us' values in featureMatrix in both client and server and in start.bat file.

Idk if gorkn is still here, but I followed instructions from a lot of his posts on vindictus section and everything to work except hfs modifications. If you are still here gorkn , could you help us please ?

memvoicam your the only other active person on here. Were you able to do hfs file modifications ?

love92in we dont need repack hfs, just unpack and client will read it dont repack hfs

if want hfs read, you need use hfssign, but i try use hfssign fail, so i think we cant repack hfs

So do you convert .hfs file to .zip, make modifications and zip it back up and put it inside hfs folder ?

Or can you tell me how you modified your hfs using your example ? Doesn't matter what the example is. Just curious what steps you used.

So here's what I did, let me know what I did wrong:

1. went to hfs folder and searched for 763FD8F12D3D013194261D98B4AEF0FB0F6FBA1B.hfs
2. copied it and extracted it so that i got 763FD8F12D3D013194261D98B4AEF0FB0F6FBA1B.zip
3. edited kay_crossgun_skill_set.txt and changed cooldown of hollow shot from 6 to 2 seconds.
4. saved file and placed it inside 763FD8F12D3D013194261D98B4AEF0FB0F6FBA1B.zip (replace previous kay_crossgun_skill_set.txt file)
5. moved 763FD8F12D3D013194261D98B4AEF0FB0F6FBA1B.zip to hfs folder inside client.

I did that and client wouldn't start. What should I do here instead to modify the cooldown of skill?

When edit hfs, you need sign file hfs game can read, it use hfssign tools if want sign it

so I understand that I can't sign HFS file again.

So on my steps above, after step 3 what should I do? Do I place the modified file back in the .zip? Do I store the .zip file in the same location as the hfs folder? I am so lost.. please help.

I am using 1.69 client and server. I unzipped the .hfs file and modified it and stored it here. I changed the cooldown of Kai's Hollow Shot skill from 6 seconds to 2 seconds but that change is not applied in game. Please help.
