New Starter Gear (as seen in CABAL EU)

Some of you may have seen the new starter gear they added in CABAL EU. If not, there's a screenshot above. In order to make this new gear visible in your private server client, you can use EU's woman.ech and man.ech. Alternatively, you can download this patch: http://www.mediafire.com/?nkngdo1iymo
Make sure to read the readme.txt.

If you want to show the starter gear on the character creation screen like it does in CABAL EU, open cabal.enc and find <char_make>. You should see a text block that looks like this:

Code:

	<char_make>
		<make	suit_1="111"	glove_2="156"	boot_3="201"	rhand_4="96"	lhand_5=""	/>
		<make	suit_1="141"	glove_2="186"	boot_3="231"	rhand_4="51"	lhand_5="66"	/>
		<make	suit_1="141"	glove_2="186"	boot_3="231"	rhand_4="21"	lhand_5="21"	/>
		<make	suit_1="126"	glove_2="171"	boot_3="216"	rhand_4="36"	lhand_5="36"	/>
		<make	suit_1="111"	glove_2="156"	boot_3="201"	rhand_4="66"	lhand_5="35"	/>
		<make	suit_1="126"	glove_2="171"	boot_3="216"	rhand_4="51"	lhand_5="21"	/>
	</char_make>

Change it to look like this:

Code:

	<char_make>
		<make	suit_1="105"	glove_2="150"	boot_3="195"	rhand_4="90"	lhand_5=""	/>
		<make	suit_1="135"	glove_2="180"	boot_3="225"	rhand_4="45"	lhand_5="60"	/>
		<make	suit_1="135"	glove_2="180"	boot_3="225"	rhand_4="15"	lhand_5="15"	/>
		<make	suit_1="120"	glove_2="165"	boot_3="210"	rhand_4="30"	lhand_5="30"	/>
		<make	suit_1="105"	glove_2="150"	boot_3="195"	rhand_4="60"	lhand_5="30"	/>
		<make	suit_1="120"	glove_2="165"	boot_3="210"	rhand_4="45"	lhand_5="15"	/>
	</char_make>

P.S. Incase you haven't noticed, I'm now back into CABAL devving ;)

EDIT:

You may notice that the gloves look fine on your character, but they look like the original starter gloves in your inventory. To fix this, download this file and extract it to Cabal/Data/Item/. The reason for doing this is due to the fact that CABAL doesn't use the meshes in the ECH files to display gloves in your inventory. This is because they would display too far apart due to their position (they're placed where the hands would be during the character's normal pose, which means the 2 gloves are a whole body-width apart).

Nice release, thanks for sharing. =] and welcome back mate.
The only problem is the patch, these files (man+woman) size is huge, and even with the best compressor the size is something around 60MB. I wish I had money to host my server dedicated lol, but my server is hosted on my own pc and I will not be able to update my players by the launcher. And I am not going to release a new patch to download only for the starter gears looks. So, this is good for who releasing a patch downloads instead of using a launcher with auto-updates. =P
I appreciate your work. =]

**Yamachi** · 30-12-09

If you don't want to distribute the whole (wo)man.ech file, do what I did and make a diff file. A diff file contains only the differences between 2 files. You can make and apply diff patches with this: http://xdelta.org/. My launcher uses this when applying patches. It's much more efficient than ESTsoft's launcher.

Here's the command-line syntax to create and apply diff patches:

Code:

Create diff patch
xdelta3.exe -e -s 	 old_file 	 new_file 	 delta_file

Apply diff patch
xdelta3.exe -d -s 	 old_file 	 delta_file 	 decoded_new_file

The trick to successfully applying a patch is to set decoded_new_file to a new filename, then copy over the original file with the new one. If you try using the same file for old_file and decoded_new_file, you'll get an access error :P

Great solution,
I will use it.

Thanks again,
Dor. :)

Edit: After making the diff files and compress them to archive, it still 26MB. This is also too much for home internet connection XD. Anyway, this method of diff will help me with a future patching, that's really cool way to patch things. =]

I can confirm this working on OGPlanet Jan 30th 2008 client.

MD5 doesnt match on woman.ech but I tried it anyway and it did work for me.

This worked for me just fine.
I also downloaded EU Client and tested both ways.
I just used the patch even though the MD5 did not match and it work also just fine.
Also shows armor on char select screen.
I'm also using OGPlanet Jan 30th 2008 client.

Thanks again for release!

**Yamachi** · 31-12-09

Most likely woman.ech didn't match coz I may have changed something extremely minor. As long as you haven't made any major changes to woman.ech or man.ech, it shouldn't matter too much.

**TimeBomb** · 31-12-09

Nice release, seems cool.
Only problem is that my women.ech doesn't match.
I patched it anyway after reading above post by Yamachi, and it didn't work. So I put back in the backup of women.ech. Then it gave me an XTrap error. So I had to put back in the original of man.ech too >.< Then it worked, just as normal as it was before.
Do we just use the EU Soul and Sienna from gamershell client? If so, I'll just install it to another folder and take those two files.

Agreed it does show at the character selection screen but based on the <char_make> tag I'm assuming the edits replace the titanium sets when creating a character. Character selection has always shown what gear you are currently wearing ^_^

BTW, welcome back Yamachi, I look forward to seeing some quality releases. You do great work.

**SephX** · 31-12-09

Welcome back Yamachi.
Good release.

You can use (wo)man.ech from the latest CABAL EU client (471). What versions of the ECH files were you patching? If they were the ones from OGP 30/01/08, I don't see why you had problems with it. Also, I don't understand why you got an XTrap error unless XT checks the ECH files o.O AFAIK it doesn't, but I may be wrong. XT doesn't work server-side, anyways, so you might aswell use a client that has XT removed.

Yes, the <char_make> tags contain the item ID's for the items shown on the character creation screen. By changing them to something else, it will no longer show Titanium while you are creating a character. Oh, and thank you :P

**cypher** · 01-01-10

I would love to see this in a future repack, the original training gear is soooo boring now.

@Yamachi, thanks for fixing the gloves, I was gonna mention that but you beat me to it ^_^

**CabalX** · 10-01-10
