Thank you for this. All dungeons you mentioned work. The teleportal for forsaken island didn't work for me, but using the enter dungeon command worked.

That's really weird, I never tried to remove the chat URL - I'm currently working on the Japanese dc v2 and correcting SFX files, so I will look into this issue later, maybe try replacing the URL with space " " or something else and see if that fixes the issue
UPDATE: I changed URL and maximum flight height limit (only for area with tower) in my ENG v7, and its working OK!
Tweaked addMaxZ and flyHeightLimit by +25000 in Area-75.xml file ( the area in which Nakatam Tower is located , coast near Castanica) { Area id="20005" continentId="7004" areaName="AEN_B_P" } that allows a flight to the tower. I'm not sure what broke the DC but I don't think it's changing the URL message, maybe altering some of the Areas xml files flyHeightLimit by 20k breaks the DC - so no idea, try changing the height limit with a smaller values like 2000 or 5000.

I noticed that compared to the original english DC V7, the murasama DC you posted earlier with apex fix, is also missing a lot of NPC text and other items that are in the original v7 DC....so its REALLY weird xD Its almost as if it all references to like Lines, and if you add / remove something everything shifts and breaksThat's really weird, I never tried to remove the chat URL - I'm currently working on the Japanese dc v2 and correcting SFX files, so I will look into this issue later, maybe try replacing the URL with space " " or something else and see if that fixes the issue
Btw could someone explain to me or share a link on how to unpack, edit and repack the DC file? I found some cool things to try out but i cannot do it wuithout modifying the DC, since they wont show in the client if its not done.

Ok, that is strange. I'm wondering if that small windowed environment it is running in has anything to do with it. I know it crashes to desktop due to memory issues since DC consumes a lot once it is all loaded in. I'll give it another try after rebooting to clear existing memory.That's really weird, I never tried to remove the chat URL - I'm currently working on the Japanese dc v2 and correcting SFX files, so I will look into this issue later, maybe try replacing the URL with space " " or something else and see if that fixes the issue

Yeah, that is why I'm not going to touch it anymore. It seems to lead to an exploding parts problem that also doesn't seem to be consistent. It's so tempting since there's a lot of stuff in there which can be tweaked that (Bluehole inexplicably allowed to) overrides the server side stuff (if there is an equivalent datasheet like there is for Area config). What I plan on doing is editing the unpacked XML's and saving that on the side for future sharing in case someone comes up with an XML repacker.
As for DC unpacking/repacking, I left you a response in the retail thread about how to get the key and unpack. There's a plethora of tools for the latter but few publicly available repackers (I know that one of the old maintainers of TERA Proxy had their own tool to do this but never released it) so Narcis96' DC Tool (version 2) was the only one when it was available publicly. But he no longer wants it shared which makes sense given the above issues since it was designed primarily as a much needed tool to auto-translate and pull stuff from the EU DC to give us an english base. Most of the problems are the TW DC (double-byte for Chinese Kanji). Check to see if the tool might have been in the distribution archive you downloaded (it would be in the Tools folder). I know someone once posted an alternative/mirror download of all the tools in the retail thread that might have contained a copy of it like post 784).

Everything same as Murasama. On my side I am working on creating this repack functionality too, not sure if I'll ever succeed, but still trying.
As for unpacking it's working fine, and imo faster than Narcis tool.
Planning to make this public if I ever make it work but here comes repo if u wanna check and get more ideas on how to make repack works : https://github.com/tsukasaroot/tera-server-oneclick
EDIT: also don't mind the shitty code, im just trying to get how repacking works, then only will make interface for it and clean code xd

This would be so awesome if we can get something like this working! This is out of my league unfortunately (last time I did coding was back in the mid-80's and early 90's when most IT business systems were COBOL, IBM JCL, DEC DCL; aka yuck).

I think I need that video clip of Will Ferrel saying "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!"
I started off from scratch (again), and only edit out the GF URL. Subtitles work this time (unlike yesterday's simple test) but when I load into the game, there was this black cube following me around. I try on another character and same deal. Only thing is I forgot to screen grab it (I logged out at this point to verify the original DC file is ok (it is)).
So I reload this original again into the tool and again edit out the GF URL, and test it out. Subtitles look good and loading back into the game, everything looks normal this time (image #1). This is where the crazy pills part comes into play. I quit and copy back the prior DC that gave me the black cube to try and screen grab it; cube is now gone but the TERA Rewards, TERA Founders, TERA Club icon and TERA Club Premium bar has now disappeared (image #2). The TERA Club benefits are actually gone as seen in the adventure coin where it is 2400/1400 versus 2400/2400. I go back to the 2nd edit DC, and it's ok.
So there does seem to be something else occurring for these type of inconsistencies to be happening with the DC, and I'm thinking it is memory related problems in that environment the tool is running in. My system has 64GB (I know loading all of those XML's into memory takes up a lot but this is a simple test that's exhibiting degrees of variations). I think I'm going to give this a rest for now and try again later (before I actually do go crazy).

Unrelated but how did you enable the elite bar?This would be so awesome if we can get something like this working! This is out of my league unfortunately (last time I did coding was back in the mid-80's and early 90's when most IT business systems were COBOL, IBM JCL, DEC DCL; aka yuck).

Well I broke couple of DCs with the DC tool but nothing crazy like that
Here is my mod v7 DC : https://www.mediafire.com/file/mujef...7+Mod.zip/file
URL message is removed and tower area = Kerozen Isle, along the coast of Ostgarath near Castanica max z and flyheight is increased to 25000. Please try with my file and see if it works.
Not sure is there a list of Area ids and names, but you can exit the game with char in the desired area and then look up in VM -navicat and than planetdb and find worldid of that char. I would change all the Areas flyheight to 20000 but there are many files and it will take to much time - not sure how you did that
EDIT: When I work on the DC, I make couple of changes (~10 or 20) and than save the DC and reopen it and than continue - small changes in increments and lot of backup DCs. Maybe you edited to much of Area data and the DC tool caused a corruption when saving the DC.

Legend!
Does anyone know if matchmaking is working? I've tried it with all servers running and I get "you cannot currently use the instance matching function" does anyone know why?
PartyMatching or matchmaking ?
- - - Updated - - -
EDIT: If so then you should run PartyMatching.bat
Everything is in ...\tera_server\Executable\Bin\
if don't have the shortcut on the desktop.
All instances of matchmaking aren't working, I cant queue for PvP or PvE, I have started all batch files in the Bin folder and they are up and online.
I follow this order and everything works fine.
1. TeraApi
2. hub
3. hub_gw
4. arb_gw
5. Arbiter
6. Topography
7. World
8. PartyMatchig
9. Dungeon
10. Dungeon Other
How can I make a backup of my character?
You technically "can" but it would require you to do a backup of all the character data, which is stored in quite a few database tables. Skills, gear, character dtaa , achievement data etc is all stored in different places, so you would have to either do a full DB backup of everything or check all tables where a char reference is stored and create your own backups of each.
