¤ The Complete PW Package ¤

[343]

I found some problems in 1.3.6 files, I'm here to report it.
I dunno if we have an active team working, but I'll report and I'll try to do something.
If there is an active coder I'll be glade to get helped, and help too..

1- If we set "debug_command_mode = active" in ptemplate.conf, ALL players will be able to use Ctrl+Click in map to teleport to any region, not just a GM.Without this active in this file, GM cannot perform commands from console.
Without resolution yet
^
This has always been a "thing" but I don't recall it effecting GM console commands or their usage... Maybe SOME of them IDK??? I never got into actually RUNNING a server, since I was always so busy either playing the official servers, and working on this [massive] release...! For a "live server" you should definitely not have "debug command mode" on - for the reason you've listed, and anything else I forgot about what that flag actually does besides letting ANY player just teleport around by ctrl+clicking all Willy Nilly...!

2- [CRITIC]: elementclient.exe need to be hex edited to fix the map explorer view. When you set the game at resolutions higher then 1024x1024, your maps do not fit into screen side, that makes your map be limited. (You can reproduce this error just setting your resolution higher then 1024x1024 and opening map pressing "M" button).
Without resolution yet
^
Yep, also always been a "thing" even on the official game/client... Closest thing I think you'd ever see to a "fix" to this would be the "workaround" I used to use while playing the game on official servers, zoom in so you can scroll around!

3- All new accounts get "GM-No entering" quest, and can travel all limited areas.
Just Realized that problem are occurring just because I replace task.data from server and client, this for some reason causes that. By simple restore from a previously made backup, back to works as expected.

4- elementclient.exe need to be hex edited to limit world area and remove tideborn and guardians cities. (Optional but useful).
I Hex edited elementclient.exe, and removed Tideborn and Guardian areas. Now, with this exe you will have only Perfect World 1.3.6 version above. (Note: SAME EXE FROM 343 ORIGINAL RELEASE, JUST HEX EDITED AREA).

Hope I can get help and could help all the community to fix it

Anyone here had any luck getting FW server to work? The PW servers work perfectly I just cant get FW to work. Anyone tried to run it?

FW server worked fine for me the problem is the FW Client it seems to be missing files it will not launch no matter what way i tried using patcher.exe using game.exe using launch.bat file and using spatch.exe none worked

I never did much testing on the FW that's included. Other than starting the server, logging in, and running around for like 30 seconds...! That's about the extent that I "know" it "works"...

If I recall correctly though (please bear in mind it's been a LONG time since I've actually worked on any of this crap), the FW server IS an "extension" of 136 (PW)... From what I recall v136 is the ultimate "base" for ALL future "packages" that I added/released... So do make sure you install 136 first, then install the FW subsequently in order for the FW server to work ;)

And yea, the client should open, it did for me. I was able to run around for ~30 seconds on my "running" game server once I started it up... Before releasing...

i posted in help, but just as a precaution ill post here as well. ive seached around a few days and maybe because of wording i havent seen a link or fix. my tw seems to be working well, except pve t3 tw map when you port in you drop thru the floor. i was hoping someone would have an updated link to a newer moe functional map. i have 155 maps but i am not sure if they changed. if i cant find one ill try swapping in one and see if it changes. however im not exactly sure how to i would test it before adding the patch to the live server. any input appreciated. thanks.

Hi i having issues installing 151 or downloading 146. My 151 installed but when it boots it hangs booting linux and just remains there, i cant do anything, i dont know what is wrong since everything installs smoothly. so then i tried downloading 146 but Mega says error then tries to re download and says error again and just loops on that. I tried all repos available and cannot get 146 to download

[tytyt]

Can't download clients, mega shit limits, need mirror

Do you know if the old torrent is still up and running?
I've looked through these posts, but don't see a link.

I'd be willing to setup a host to seed as well.

I doubt the torrent still exists, I was the primary and often only seeder... I am now currently living a mobile life so, no more "servers" or "seeding" for me :( When and if I can though, I would be more than happy to re-start a torrent of the entire package! Sadly I would have no idea when or if that will be, as I was saying a moment ago - I am living life to the fullest right now traveling about!

Torrents really are the way to go though, I really enjoy the lack of centralization... That is, unless there's Only ONE person seeding (like what happened the first time I tried to make this release a torrent)... Just too many LEECHERS!

The "boutique" is there, it's just blank... All you have to do is edit it and add stuff to be "purchased" from it ~ then it will "reappear" in the game ;)

Gauging interest for an update to this: leave your thoughts below!

[Fluzzy]

I see/talk to fresh faces all the time and this is usually my goto for getting them in the door to perfect world development and some of them are actually bummed that the latest and greatest isnt included yet.

Absolutely I think you should do an update to the release for two reasons...
1) So I can get a fresh working copy of everything to mirror on my own download sources for everyone.
2) While I don't see it super commonly I think the latest files would be nothing but beneficial to be included in the release.

Personally I think you should add the source code in as well but thats just me ;)

I did also just notice that we're coming upon the TEN year anniversary of the first post of this release! So, I am thinking, if not anything else I will do an update; for it's TEN year anniversary! :)

- - - Updated - - -

Only thing is, since I'm not very (personally) interested in anything other than v136 and MAYBE v146; I am NOT going to be putting a bunch of time into 151 or 153 or 155... Like, making sure everything is working... It'll kind of be a "take it as it is" kind of thing... ;)

- - - Updated - - -

That and of course the clients just keep getting BIGGER and BIGGER and BIGGER and BIGGER, so it's going to get harder and harder to find a reliable place to host this much data =\

I thought you are a fan of new PW versions like me.

I thought you are a fan of new PW versions like me.

IDK it's more of a love AND hate relationship I have with modern PW... My true <3 will always be like 139 (the first ver of PWI) or even pre... I AM starting to warm up to 146, but honestly as a long time retail/official player I really felt the new classes kind of trashed the game... But then ofc "APS" REALLY trashed the game, and IIRC that's when I left the game!

It's definitely cool to tinker with, and have both client and server side; but I think they've also just gotten too "out of hand" with design too.. I mean really; when the game was in it's more initial stages the choice between DEMON and SAGE was a VERY IMPORTANT choice to make, because you could only make it ONCE. There was no being able to "switch"... Now I know you can do that! That kind of removes the importance of making such a decision. Makes it (a LOT) less important! Likewise, "rebirth" or "reawakening"; I mean really - ghey! One of my initial goals (being my first MMO) was to get lv105... Well, now between "glitches" (abuse), and "rebirth" people can reach 105 with ease! Almost too easy I've been told... Honestly not too big of a fan of "reawakening" (even though I've also never done it or even tried it)... As much as I may not like over "grindy" games, that's how it was initially made! We all knew if we wanted to ever "see" lv105, it would be a small eternity! But people like me set out to do it! Which is one of the reasons, as retarded as it is (and I can acknowledge that); that retards like me refuse to do the whole "rebirth/reawakening" thing... If I ever did go back to playing on retail I STILL wouldn't do it, why, because I would want to see if I could hit lv105 the OLD school ORIGINAL (HARD) way! Not just take the easy way out >.> ANOTHER thing that is driving me crazy is SO much that seems like it also just doesn't belong AT ALL. Like the CARDS, er "war avatars" er whatever the heck they call em... I can't help but think, WHAT THE F**K does that have to do with an MMO/RPG @.@ If I wanted to play ANY type of card game I'd set up a card table and call over some friends; or go play poker or some other card BASED game... "CARDS" don't have ANY space in my MMO/RPG >.> And just some of the new/er and added complexities, like meridian, or glyphs, and well, TBH the list just goes on and on...!

So, anyway, I started to get all ranty, but, as you can see it's a love hate relationship I have going on with the game! As if MMO/RPGs aren't "complex" enough as it is; they done gone and made it too stupidly OVER complex IMHO...

Same goes for all the new races/classes; it's a love hate thing... I really appreciate the all original version of PW with ONLY 3 races / 6 classes... It seems things really started going downhill after the PW development team went off the rails by adding things like new races/classes, and all this other crap (like reflection, meridian, CARDS, etc)! "casting" was adverse to the game, "sins/psys" were adverse to the game, "APS" was adverse to the game, the "goon glitch" was adverse to the game, demon/sage switching is adverse to the game, rebirth is adverse to the game, and some of this other new crap I either just don't understand, or don't want to (like meridian, cards, reflection, glyphs, etc)...

Ultimately though the biggest qualm I have with "official"/"retail" is that it's "free to play" but "PAY TO WIN"... I couldn't imagine how people actually manually "farm" say R9 full +12... But I hear people do/have done it... I couldn't even imagine that, especially with all this other stuff/changes... ... ...

So ya, love & hate, all at the same time... But at least I can be honest about it too, a lot of it is my personal bias that I also feel 'robbed' at the same time... Knowing that even if I ever did make it to lv105, it's now LESS significant because of things like goon glitch, and rebirth/reawakening... Almost everyone that wants it, can get it, and easily... NOT FAIR rofl... Or like the fact that I chose SAGE/DEMON, when now it's not an "important decision" because people can switch if they ultimately want to...

And I actually made it to like 103 er 104 too before I quit retail, BEFORE all these changes that make my toon and my original goals less relevant :( Still, almost makes me wanna log back into retail to finish out that lv105 - but WITHOUT rebirth! Even though it'll be "less significant" (at least to other people)...

Eh no, 1.3.9 is not a nostalgic version for me, too new, a lot of bad changes. I mean i played on pwru, launched to the public from 1.3.4 then after ~half year update to 1.4.0 (i mean almost same 1.3.9?). I love long way to the high level, kill 80-100 mobs, find quest mobs without autopath...

[343]

v139 was the one PWi "opened" with right? If so that's the primary one I knew because that's where I started, and remained (even though I did roll a few toons on PW Malaysia [cubizone?])... I'd love to have played something even older though! I know I wasn't a huge fan of Genies either, and PWi "opened" with those too!

I suppose the REAL nostalgia is with 3 races/6classes NO genies, NO auto-path (whatsoever), etc!!! I remember when you didn't even have a (find) quest list! You would click to "find quest" er whatever and it would just literally give you ONE at a time; It would say something like "I hear the Elder of Ethersword is looking for you" LMAO

I know at least one private server with all what you named (russian ThePW). You can even set up own private server with these properties (it's version 1.3.1). But isn't it boring just to kill mobs and gather resources? Cards, glyphs, reawakenings, more skills, classes, etc. were introduced to make things less routineous and more funny (we can play with it, make variants of characters). Also there are more conveniences in later versions, debug commands, functions, etc. I would dream about server files above Elysium.
