Updating a Server from One Version to Another [Updated]

Re: Updating a Server from One Version to Another [Wall of Text/Unfinished]

If that doesn't match the amount of mesos you dropped, keep going. Keep going until the end and if none of the ints match the amount of mesos you dropped, you have the wrong packet

I found mine were the last 4 bytes, not the first. The words made it sound like you need to start at the first, so maybe state it could be any order?

Yeah well try starting in the middle for a random packet that's like 9k long. That's what I'm going at.

Anyways, part 2 added and guide part II is complete.

Part 3 will be for packet editing and I'll see if I can do something about room if I run out. Pictures to come soon too.

Lmao never saw the difference in the writeAsciiString and the other one lmao anyways thanks for the second guide, I also do ask a few packet help to one very individual person (Expedia) he told me there was a lot of packet changes from v.97 to v.99. Also it took awhile for me to get the warptomap thingy(little help on delphims) I have a question though, I remember before that other ppl beside the first person login couldn't login to the server, in other words if one players one and another logins they dc, which send packet would that be I've only updated the warp_to_map and the spawn_player methods, would appreciate it.

Error38Handler is the answer.
 
Woah, Nice guide, I'm going to read all of it tomorrow.
Nice work putting it all together. Really helps everyone who can't update versions.

Edit: Is there a way to sniff proper packets for v83, or do I have to take a educated guess? Cause I rather work on my v83 and make it stable, then update if needed.

I love you so much <3
Is this one send on startup? Or when you get the error?

And got more info about the skill addition (timeless and reverse items).

@Above,
Like what? I got most packets already ><
 
I'm going to start adding pictures tomorrow. Currently 2 pictures are up for testing (good that tinypic works!). I think I"m limited to around 10 pictures per section so I'll try to make them useful pictures.
 
I think I'm missing something (probably my brain), but how did you got 0x37 for GENERAL_CHAT? I always get 0x3F :o. And I see you got that too in the screenshot.
Can you tell me please because I don't really understand.

That's probably my mistake and was actually v98. Either that or I remembered wrong. I update a number of opcodes per version and get them mixed up sometimes. You're right though, the stuff needs major editing. The first version of the guide posted is still in progress.
 
Lol, I read this guide twice already (yes, all of it to make sure I didn't miss anything).

Moogra, if it isn't too much trouble, could you make a downloadable version?
Also, could you elaborate on SeekableLittleEndianAccessor's skip method a bit more?

Oh okay, take your time. And just a suggestion: Can you please categorize some important packets? Like which ones are really important to be updated and which ones not. And a question: If I update one packet lets say: action1 to 0x01 and another (not updated) action uses the same packet may it cause any problem?

It might. Sometimes you can get lucky though. Packets can get tricky sometimes because of that.
 
to test if the packets work would you need to test it on the previous wz and localhost files or would you need to do it on the updated packets version? sorry i'm kind of new to this
