[Tutorial] Vindictus EU 1.65 Client/Server setup

Big thanks to Gvygvxvx. This would not be possible without his contributions.

This guide assumes you already have the Taiwan client and server functioning correctly.
Note that you DO NOT NEED the Taiwan client for this.

If you need the server, or need to know how to set up the server, go here.
If you want to set up the server for LAN or online play, go here.
If you want to use mods, read this thread.

So... why use this version?
Well, it has newer stuff. It also has Extreme/Premium mode features and difficulty.
For example, you can jump and do air combos. There's also a ranking system.
The English font is a little easier to read. No, you can't use Delia (this was pre-Delia).

I've been testing for a little, and no noticeable issues so far.


1. Download and unpack the EU client 1.65 version.
Scroll to the bottom of this link and grab the torrent magnet URL:
Vindictus EU ñêà÷àòü òîððåíò [L] [ENG / ENG] (2010) [1.65] :: RuTracker.org

Or try this:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:6994EE21126845B8AC13C197C376073367B7D3BC&dn=Vindictus_1.65&tr=http%3a%2f%2fbt2.t-ru.org%2fann%3fmagnet

This client seems to be dated 24th of January 2016.

If you have the Taiwan client and don't want to re-download the whole thing, try this:

2. Download Gvygvxvx's updated heroesContents.db3 and updated bin folder.
Bin folder (mirrors):
https://mega.nz/#!GdYA0SzS!jzivViLn9...8AvLhn0wsi974U
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0...UZ0STVuNWxmaUE
This bin folder seems to be March 2016.

HeroesContents (mirrors):
https://mega.nz/#!uRBE0ZoT!C3ViNuU3t...W1ukasq7Cew8AI
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0...WhodkNJNF9yemc
HeroesContents.db3 goes in MHTW_serverzh-tw-x-gmBin
You may want to back up your old database, just in case.

According to Gvygvxvx, with this database, XML modification is no longer needed.
If you have already modified your XMLs, you can revert to the original TW server files.


3. Update your Hosts file to redirect away from the US and EU official servers.
Add these lines to your Hosts file:

Code:

---

192.168.1.1 patch.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 heroespatch-gm.nexon.com
192.168.1.1 download.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 en.vindictus.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 de.vindictus.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 vtimage.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 support.vindictus.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 shop.vindictus.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 shop-gm.vindictus.nexoneu.com
192.168.1.1 download2.nexon.net
192.168.1.1 heroespatch-gm.nexon.com

---

Change 192.168.1.1 to 127.0.0.1 if you are only using local and not LAN/WAN.
Note that if you want to access the official servers you will need to remove these lines.

If you're still having problems, try adding the other lines from this link:
http://forum.ragezone.com/f944/relea...6/#post8669716


4. Replace the Bin folder, UptoDateInfo2.dat and Vindictus.exe with the Taiwan client's files.
I just put a _ in front of their names, but you can move them elsewhere or delete them, if you want.


5. Copy nmconew.ini, start.bat, Vindictus.exe from the Taiwan client.
nmconew.ini should refer to your webserver.


6. On your webserver, make two new folders "en-EU-x-GM" and "en-US-x-GM".
Copy endpoint.txt and ShopList.aspx into these folders.
You don't need to change their contents (since they will be sent to the same server).


7. If you are using mods, also copy winnsi.dll and the Data folder.


8. Edit Start.Bat.
Contents will either be:

Code:

---

vindictus.exe -stage -dev -lang en-eu-x-gm -noupdate

---

or

Code:

---

vindictus.exe -stage -dev -lang en-us-x-gm -noupdate

---

Note that any changes to the heroesContents.db3 needs to refer to the right region.
For example, featurematrix changes need to be under the EN-US-X-GM or EN-EU-X-GM columns.
Similarly, sound mod filenames will need to be changed to match the different version.


9. Boot the server and client as normal.
EU client interface is a little different, but select server should allow you to select your server.
You can then log in as normal. Enjoy!


How to fix "failed to login" window:
After logging in, log back out and then in again. That should fix it.


Bonus database tweaks:
A few tweaks for heroesContents that I like to use. That's heroesContents, and NOT heroes.
Run these as queries in NaviCat or SQL Management Studio.

Delete almost any item:

Code:

---

update ItemClassInfo set Indestructible=0

---

Remove quest requirements:

Code:

---

update QuestConstraintInfo set RequiredStatus=0

---

Anyone can equip anything (great for equipping hair that your character normally cannot):

Code:

---

update ItemClassInfo set ClassRestriction='1023'

---

Let me know if I missed anything.

Great tutorial and about failed to login : i login, then press "go back" button at character select screen then login again and i am good

Yeah I noticed that too. It works for the US version as well? I haven't tested that yet.

I assume the client is dated 2016, not 2015, since that's when 1.65 came out =P It'd be behind the TW client we have if it was 2015, I think.
Edit: The google drive mirror for the heroes_contents is private.

Good tutorial. A few moments, here latest tw database(include s3ep3) and no need xml files.

Spoiler:

https://mega.nz/#!uRBE0ZoT!C3ViNuU3t...W1ukasq7Cew8AI
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0...WhodkNJNF9yemc

sorry wrong database. i'm reupload, already a little confused

Quote:

---

Remember that any changes to the heroes_contents.db3 will be connected to the version you're using in start.bat.
For example, featurematrix changes need to be under the EN-US-X-GM or EN-EU-X-GM columns.
Similarly, sound mod filenames will need to be changed to match the different version.

---

Here as before, edit only ZH-TW-X-GM column.

Yes confirmed it works on us too

@Kholdy
Oops. Yeah, I meant to type 2016.

@aiolosmk
Thanks.

@Gvygvxvx
Thanks!

After following the tutorial in its entirety, my PlayerService in HeroesOPTool crashes every time. Any clue what could cause this? My server folder is in C:\MHTW\ and the EU client is in C:\Vindictus EU, if that matters.
Edit: Nevermind, needed to change the database, gvygvxvx changed his link. =P

Damn, I already set mine up and everything. Have to set it up again~

If PlayerService crashes, right click it and click view log.
It'll usually say where it crapped out and why.

I don't know where is wrong. Click start when prompt fail to read compress buffer: sqlite \ heroes db3, request: 3370831, 2874115. The result

I need help heroes_text_korean.txt...

ERROR : I want Game korea chatting

Now I can enter to the login screen, but there is no my server

Are you using wampserver?

No, I don't know how to use wampserver

- - - Updated - - -

Please help me, I don't know how to do

@Patchouli, good to see you put everythings in a topic :-) so those newcomers won't need to fiddle for it. Have you test out the gameplay using difference region client? Example. EU client vs MHTW+TW patched. I'm wonder will there any difference between features,contents,bosses and more.

Great.

Eu vindictus uses XE version, gameplay changes a lot, you can jump combo in air adding and changes elements to your gameplay, you can also "break-off" while in air hitting with smash (right click) certain boss spots. You no longer needs to press run button, now is auto dashing without stamina consumption. Best feature for me is combo system, you can get damage bonuses hitting mobs without get hit, longer is ur combo higher is damage bonus, i guess max is 150% you trigger damage combo with a smash. Then bosses hp is always visible even at hero difficulty, and last is XE move skill, a particular powerful skill who consume also your HP. I didn t see XE skill quest in game, so i had to added the skill directly on heroes db with navicat or mssq

need activate xe in featurematrix, look strings
PremiereMode
ExtremeMode
ExtremeMode_Offline

Can you play 100% normal premiere mode with EU client if you disable all XE options in featurematrix?

I don't think so. XE gameplay is mostly client side, but the server needs to have XE mode turned on to enable the "XE move" quest that lets you learn the Xe move.

I know this because back when console worked, there was a command to turn XE gameplay on/off whenever you wanted, and because I tried to get XE mode working by editing featurematrix and couldn't.
There are also config files that automatically turn XE mode on, but they are encrypted in some way and the game won't load modified cfgs.


@x8881141
Basically, the server needs a webserver to "broadcast" the server's existence to the client.
The client needs to be able to go to a webserver and see endpoint.txt
Endpoint.txt tells the client where the server is located.
For that reason you need to know how to set up your own website.

Wampserver is a fairly easy way to set one up. Simply install and then follow this post to enable online access:
http://forum.ragezone.com/f945/tutor...5/#post8667095

127.0.0.1 is your local IP. If you browse to that IP, you should be able to see your own website.
But that is only for offline. If your Vindictus server only uses 127.0.0.1 then that doesn't matter.

Once you are able to see your own website and endpoint.txt, Vindictus should be able to as well.
Editing the hosts file is to redirect your internet connection through your website.
That way the client will go to your website to look for the endpoint.txt, instead of Nexon's website.

Well explained:-) I will try to obtain EU client and give it a try, sounds like C9 gameplays with this client.

Can someone splits this Vindictus EU 1.65 Client into 1G parts and upload it to mega? I have a slow high speed internet it will takes 9-10 hours for a full download instead I can download each parts on the go with my phone while at higher speed connection :-)

Google drive link too pls :)

could some one do a video on how to do this? i did the tw version alrdy but i rly dont understand how to do this one o.o getting confused damn xD

Attachment 157711

thank you so much guys for everything..you make my dreams come true

Vindictus local host :ott:

Guys, while I'm updating client with server I tried to find way to add NX/Tir Coins. I know how to add Tir Coins bu every time I try to buy smth with Tir's I'm getting transaction error dunno why :/

can some one help?
joyn my discord chanel if u can pls <3
https://discord.gg/WktTa

Do you know how that cash?

Patchouli, your LatestTWDatabaseNoNeedXMLNew.7z have two folders, I will use the LastMerge one? and the manual transfer one is for those that have their HeroesContents.db3 heavy modified?
The new Bin folder already contained the MHTW bin and UpToDateInfo2.dat?

I can't wait to test out this EU client :)

Yes, just use what's in the latestmerge folder.

Oh cool, for the new bin folder, should I use the ones you provided or just copy from MHTW client. Cause on your guide said copy from MHTW client but you provided a new bin for it. So it will makes people confused sometimes.
I keep seeing this 'failed to log in'' messages most of the times.

Edit: I've tried with MHTW bin but the start.bat won't launch the client with your new bin it worked but can't create characters. I try on Vella after entered names then create it gives an error code same as creating Sylas.

Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

After a time of playing this comes and my firend cant connect anymore :/

Try to restart apache?

I did it, but the same error comes after 10 mins again

I've restart both RCserver and RCClient then I can make characters but still giving that error code. But this Notice ‘Failed to log in'' always pop up and in a while it stopped. Anyone know what causes? Anyone know to how active Sylas from the MSSQL database?

Edit: the EU client seems doesn't contains those basic hair during character's creation. When I changed the hair it works again. So the error code is due to incompatible hair.

Actually, the Sylas fix someone posted the other day added some stuff that isn't even in the latest Korean client.
There's no such armor as Sylas_inner_free in the latest databases or player_costume.txt.
It's under a different name.
That might be why you got an error code.


@Wolk
It looks like you didn't add Nexon EU to your hosts file?

Nope. It's happened on all mercenaries. I don't know why. Since I can't make Sylas atm. I won't bother testing him out. Do we need to synced that heroes.db3 between server and client? Because with old heroes.db3 and MHTW client I never get error code like this.
Isn't this heroes.db3 is in one of the hfs files?

this is hfs with heroe.db3: 286FE9924483F382029EF68BA6C260B3C2563BF9.hfs

---

Cool thanks ariheii, I will try to replace that heroes.db3 with the merge ones from patchouli and see if the error code still happens on all the mercenaries or not.

How do you unlock Sylas? I tried to create him with all default hair selected but still getting error code like on MHTW client. Can someone do a quick screenshot of Sylas unlock on their database?

John, i never was able to create Hagie from chara creation so x example i created 1st a Lann. then go to database heroes with navicat or mssql or smth like that open character info then change your lann class to "9", next time you login you will have hagie instead lann

---

Oh? That more like exchange mercenary. I thought I heard someone already did successfully added Sylas to our new Heroes.db3? Maybe the heroes.db3 from patchouli already had it unlocked? But it just didn't synced between this new EU Vindictus 1.65 client?

I will try to synced it and let you know it's going to be able to create Sylas.

My databases don't match and I don't get 10 minute errors like that.

Maybe yours heroes.db3 already synced with the server ones by default I setup the server and using that MHTW client but never got any of these errors. We can use the tool to replace that heroes.db3 inside HFS files right? Or I can only extract it from the client and replace the merge ones?



EDIT: I got it now, the problems is I whenever I creating a new mercenary I can only pick the first default hair for that mercenary, if I picked second hair to last it just give an error code. but for Sylas nothing seems to work because the heroescontents.db3 didn't have him unlock.
@Patchouli, can you unload your heroescontents.db3 for the server and that hfs files contained heroes.db3.comp? I don't know why mine got the error code n that annoying Notice! Failed to login in messages all the time.

I'm just using Gvy's at the moment. I haven't tried Sylas recently.
Prior to using this EU version I had him working and did the tutorial stage as him.

Strange, im using his too but still encounter these two errors. I think the heroescontents.db3 from the server isn't synced well with the heroes.db3.comp from the EU Vindictus client 1.65. I haven't test on any new hair add with GM command get. I hope it doesn't gives an error code.

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 1

then repack the .hfs file (include a .txt file with random letters to make the .hfs file bigger than before) and put it back into the hfs folder in the client.

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 game

I also tried moding the hfs but there was this CRC error..

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 appear

Oh that did the trick for me :)

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:

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.

EDIT: tested, it just said failed to load uncompressed sql/heroes.db3 error just like did to repack and unpack using that VZipFlip and trying to replace the default EU 1.65 client heroes.db3.comp with the ones from your guide here.

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?

So did everybody successfully update their EU client to latest? I updated mine to latest NA but got error:
"file is encrypted and not a database / null virtual machine pointer" error after changing heroes.db3 hfs 's featurematrix andchatrenewal to null, advancedui to null , ngm_disable to 1, ngm_local to 1, repacking the hfs and using it as the main database.
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?

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?

You made smth wrong, check it again cuz as I said we are able for now run these files with all latest fficial clients, except KR.

I had that problem because of the hfs file size, making an even bigger junk file along with the heroes.db3 inside of the .hfs fixed it

For now ill be using this with the latest NA client:

To Nultar: Thaks for files however with your files PlayerService crashes for me
The error log keep says s3ep5_m2, m3, m4.... xml is missing so i kept making xmls about 20 and
I just quit.

To Patchouli: Thanks for files but your hfs and db3 only location service and heroescommand boots and all services is perma-booting. Don't know what's the error. I also tried your method

To Flashfail: Thanks for advice. I made hfs for heroesdb3 a lot bigger adding 5mb picture and compressing it but didn't work +cry.

To Azuma: I've made some adjustments for example compressing the the db3 hfs folder not directly but clicking all the files and compressing them etc. the methods above and my folders are all mess XD

Much appreciation to all for adding insight and sharing updates. Computer science is too hard for me D: . I guess I'll wait a week until somebody writes up a guide and until Vindi updates Ein rach this week which is what I really wanted to try out. Of course my error reports will mean little to many but maybe someone has similar errors and can lead to good discussions hopefully.

Zippyshare.com - XML.rar

You're right there you go I have uploaded my XML folder. Gvygvxvx managed to tweak the database so you don't actually need the xml files but I don't know how he did that^^

Btw, my db3 was originally heroescontents.db3.
However this new one is called heroes.db3.
Several times I delete heroescontents.db3 but it keeps making a heroescontents.db3 which is 0kb!!!
I don't know why and I dont know the fix and this might be reason why I get error

heroescontents.db3 is the name of the server database file
heroes.db3(.comp) is the name of the client database file

Btw thanks for xml also, everything boots fine. I will try with actual gameplay soon.

By the way how to get rid of advertisement with Delia picture Delia: Nobility's finest?
I already got rid of the starting logo splash usa bmp, but I'm not sure if we can get rid of this thing. I'm sure there wasn't anything like this
on 1.65 EU version

- - - Updated - - -

Just an update about the latest NA client with Nultar's files.
1. VVip effect is giving me beastly inner armor for all character. It used to give me 1, which was annoying but now so many @.@ How to get rid of all of this?
2. Nultar's files only set featurematrix ngm_disable and ngm_local to EU-gm not US-gm. So with US client I'm still seeing failed to login. If Nultar could kindly edit these files I would sincerely appreciate.(I have memory of engine error when I touched vzipflip Q.Q)
3. Delia advertisement picture pops up every time game is turned off, which is kinda of bothering(lol) cuz we can't even play delia(XD)

I can edit it later if you want, in the meantime could you try running the client with

vindictus.exe -stage -dev -lang en-eu-x-gm -noupdate

in your start.bat?

Thanks for sharing nultar, I will give it a try when my EU client 1.65 is updated to latest.

You are using Gvy's march bin as well?

@impunity, I will update my client today and test it :-)

Zippyshare.com - 286FE9924483F382029EF68BA6C260B3C2563BF9.hfs

NGM_disable & NGM_local set to 1 for EN-US-X-GM aswell now

Yeah I'm using Gvy's Bins.7z (Folder 1)

I can't update the client, it said the service area is not in my country. anyone can upload manual patches?

EDIT: Nultar, can you upload that bin folder? cause the ones on this guide won't let me launch the client.
it gives an error about the size of the sync binary has changed, the game must re-installed. im using the EU 1.65 client to test since i can't update it to latest from my country.
do you know why this Playerservice and MicroPlayServive boots so long than before?i'm using your XML and those files provided.

nvm about the upload bin. it was the MHTW UpToDateInfor2.dat doesn't matched with the new bin lol. i replaced it but still couldn't launch the client with your heroes.db3.com. it gives the same errors as patchouli's. failed to load the uncompressed SQL/heroes.db3 errors.

EDIT2: so i decided to use the default EU client 1.65 heroes.db3.com the client launched.. but i still see the Failed to log in error. i think the heroes.db3 from the default client have this problems. causes it didn't synced. how did you guys managed to synced?

Download link to Gvy's Bins https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0_...RfY01VaFU/view

I'm using the files in the 1 folder

EDIT: sadly, none of those bins worked. all gives the same errors. what's going on? you can launched fine but I couldn't :(

Can someone help me with the cash shop service i have tried everything i could possibly think of and it still won't connect here is a pic of my cash shop service in heros tool. Does anyone know how or where to edit the port for the service?

You can create a Lugh boat but it won't be able to start (although Gvy managed to launch the boat, but the boss didn't spawn so he landed on an empty map)

I can't click on roch lann either (using latest EU Client)

Ah I see, thanks. I was wondering if it was just me that didn't work and I updated primarily from 1.65 to latest 1.69 to get the new dungeons but oh well lol. Deriving from that info, my guess is that Ein rach dungeons won't work or will need extra modifications +trial/error if we change our client to 1.70 official NA/EU a few days later when they will update it.

No delia, no lugh/rochlann, maybe no Ein rach but regardless the couple few weeks have been dream come true for me and I'm sure for many others.

Anyone having issue with exps not obtained after killed boss at stages? I'm using the new bin and heroescontents.db3 from this guide and original heroes.db3 from EU client 1.65 that produced the problems pluses some characters can create only with 1st slot default haircut from characters creation screen.

Nope, New characters started fresh out too. Only exps obtaining work is handing in quests.

Apparently this is normal? If you do a couple random missions from the board near the docks, and visit Rocheste for the small experience boost, you'll reach level 10, which lets you fight the Chieftain. Every battle from that one on gives experience. Turning on VVIP helps too, or just cheat your exp or something.

Not Normal, if you are going back yo use MHTW client and its old database. It won't produced this problems. Basically, it's the new EU client and merged database.

Good news for me, I finally able to unlock Sylas from Databases with some help from nultar :-)
But Sylas quests aren't working.
I guess there's so much not working for Sylas atm.

I think this little programs can help us updates our EU 1.65 client to latest for those that are from USA or other countries https://youtu.be/wcWw_YcrvdI

Working perfectly with Windscribe...

@Patchouli, I've uploaded all the required files from MHTW client for those that don't want to obtain the who client and save time just to download EU client.
https://www.mediafire.com/?3udf5vvu4anjva3
Feel free to add it the shared files links to your guide too.

@nultar, how large is your EU latest client? Mine is still updating... it used 7.2GB of 10GB free bandwidth from Windscribe right now. Good things, I confirmed my email get an extra of 8GB from 2GB free.

Can you try this KR English patch on your EU client?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-j...ew?usp=sharing

Please tell me it is work :-) sorry I couldn't get your KR client working :(

Attachment 157803

no korean :(

@sungminkim
I gave you a Korean text file already. There is no other Korean text file.

@sungminkim
Here's what happens if you run the EU client in Korean mode:
https://s4.postimg.io/s3q3kgnul/Vindictus_EU_KR01.jpg
https://s4.postimg.io/ole3o2myl/Vindictus_EU_KR02.jpg
Notice the signs in Colhen are missing text, and the story text is still missing.

To fix "text not allowed" go to the databases and clear all ForbiddenWord tables. That should fix it, but I haven't tested it.

I tried running the US and KR clients in Korean mode. The US client crashes (probably XE data missing) and Korean client gets stuck loading.

Delete or move uptodateInfo.dat and delete or rename _deu_splash and _usa_splash from media folder then you can use modified hfs.

Did AzumaR2 teaches you how to use KR Client with our server files?
I've read on his posts that he successfully ran all regions client with our servers files.
I found this hfs files with dummy txt inside for you.
It is from Gvy. You can use his dummy txt files and put in inside your hfs.https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0_...lMdTZQbEE/view

Yup, that means your modified hfs files are smaller than original hfs.
You are trying to use that hfs files I posted? Don't, it's from different client version. You will get error like that.

How do I fix this?
