Yeah, I mean I haven't tried Sylas with Gvy's last released heroescontents.db3 yet.
I'm currently messing around with getting the latest US version to work with Gvy's March 2016 bin files and stuff. I can do a lot more with the client now that I know how to get modified HFS to work.
Ooh cool, but I still like the EU client more because we can do more combos and jump. Are you able to get the latest EU client from their official site to work with our server files? I wonder if you are able to get delia adds too if the modify hfs works for her or it's the new server files we need to have her in?
You should be able to set the US client to jump by editing the client database and turning on XE/premiere? mode, or whatever.
Just copy those table values from the EU version to the US version. Or run the US client in EU mode.
Latest EU client should still work as long as you use Gvy's bin files and stuff.
Delia won't work until someone figures out how to get the newer bin files to work with our server.
So as you said on the other thread, I decided to try out this guide and use the NA Client
It's pretty much working fine, except for this issues:
- when logging into town theres some SQL error related to some combat stuff
- the UI is messed up, it didnt completly disable the old UI
on the plus side, compared to the old TW client and the old server heroesContents.db3, the armors now show up correctly ingame (they were invisible in the body)
I'm using the bin files and heroesContents.db3 on the second step in this guide, are there any others I should use to fix those 2 bugs?
Anyway, goodjob, this is a nice progress
rename or move UpToDateInfo.dat to a different location. To fix the UI and the chat you have to extract the client's database from 286FE9924483F382029EF68BA6C260B3C2563BF9.hfs and go into the FeatureMatrix table, set ChatRenewal and AdvancedUI to NULL and set NGM_disable and NGM_local to 1Quote:

I can share my .hfs if you want but it's from the latest EU client so it might not work for you but if you are too lazy or can't manage to do the above steps I can give it to you :)
I tried moving the UpToDateInfo.dat out of the gamefolder, and what happened was that during the game launch, the Vindictus square would stay in screen forever, on top of everything, until I'd close the gameQuote:

I'll try to remake the hfs one more time from the ground up and see if I can solve it Edit: Now that I edited the hfs all over again it doesnt even load the game and gives an error on the compress buffer.. I even tried adding extra files inside to make it bigger
Edit2: Ok the extra junk I added wasnt big enough, I'm back at having the loading logo not disapearing, despite the game loading on the background without crc errors.. So yeah apparently deleting the UpToDateInfo.Dat for me is just causing this issue despite fixing the crc, but it turns obviously unplayable because of the overlaying starting logo
Oh yeah, you have to delete/rename/move _usa_splash.bmp in the media folder, then the logo doesn't appearQuote:

Now I need to fix the error related to the combat stuff, I think I read something somewhere regarding it already, let's see..
EDIT: Found a bug, I can't depart on Braha/LordGlas/Lugh, it just times out when I press start, and sometimes even making the boat itself gives error with party info..
EDIT2: Regina disapears when the battle starts, so it becomes just an empty battle arena xd
EDIT3: It seems pretty much all battles are bugged, Keaghan has a wall like the Elchulus24 blocking the entrance... Maybe it's due to that Combat SQL error, I should try and fix that
@nultar, what's the benefits of using latest EU client than the ones(EU 1.65) mentioned by patchouli with Gvy's new bin? Did you just updated that EU client 1.65 to latest with the nexon manager?
Edit: Does modification hfs only worked for TW client?
I've tried all the steps on other topics about how to replace heroes.db3.comp inside a client and rename or move that UpToDateInfo.dat out of the client folder but it still gives me an error when trying to start.bat game. It said about can't read the uncompressed hfs. I'm trying to replace that heroes.db3.comp from patchouli's 1.65 setup server here.
I think modification works for all clients if you use Gvy's bin folders.
If you use a newer client you get more data stuff like more costumes, but only if the server has a database that's got the same data or newer. You also get stuff like Vella's rebalancing.
But you'll need to modify the database to turn off the newer GUI or your GUI will be messed up.
And you still need to use an older bin folder, which means no Delia.
I will see about writing a guide for modifying the database HFS later, if nobody else does it first.
It'd be nice if I could figure out why it doesn't work for the other HFS.
For the meantime you can use my latest NA client database HFS here:

Pass is rz
Cool, I will test it out and hope yo get rid of that pop up failed to log in and characters creation code errors lol. Im using everything provided by your guide.Quote:

Yeah I basically used the latest EU Client because of new costumes and the Vella revamp :)
Cool, I will update my EU client 1.65 to latest too. Can you share your heroescontents.db3 and heroes.db3.comp hfs? Or you are using a default heroes.db3.comp that patched from the client?Quote:

Haven't tried with original database hfs though, thought it would be pointless before Ein rach update this week.
Also beside client error HeroesOPtool didn't load everything properly.
Should I try with latest EU instead of NA?
