i know launcher use cabalmain.exe and it call internal.txt for ip and port, i use ollydbg and search for name string and found internal.txt, breakly, husky..... but don't what to do with that....
Re: My guides + databases
@0d3m0ns0 - I have not actually noted which fixes (removing the need for gameserver, creating presence tables, the "already logged on" trigger) i have applied and i know these copies don't have everything i have applied to my main database. I plan on a little more testing on my own databases and then i will be updating them listing exactly what has been applied. It will either be later today or tomorrow i would think.
@myliquid - I have not bothered taking my hexing tools to any of the exes in any serious way yet. I have been looking for un-modded copies of the exes so i can compare and see what has been changed so i can figure out how to hex other ones, but i got sick of downloading random clients trying to find the versions i needed and my posts here for copies went unanswered.
I see little point in learning how to do minor edits like that yet as we don't actually know how to hex new copies which is far more important. To be honest i don't see any benefit of removing the need for internal.txt anyway as it is a convenience for me.
What we really need is a tool that gives you a list of fixes that you can choose from and then apply the patch. Ragnarok servers use this method for their sakexes (i used to be one of the people that made them) and it would be perfect for us too, however to make the diff file it all works from i need the unedited exes from a .22 client.
Re: My guides + databases
@chumpywumpy
for the databases , do i just replace or put it in the cabal databases folder???
Thank for this Release ^^
Re: My guides + databases
The databases are proper backups that need restoring and not attaching. The guide covers how to do this on SQL 2005 and it is pretty much the same for 2000.
To be honest i would not use the databases yet as i have stripped a lot of data out and applied some fixes, but i don't consider them well tested yet. If you are interested in testing them then that's fine but if you are setting up a new server i would use the copies that came with the sever files for now and use my ones only if you run into problems with missing tables or stored procedures.
Re: My guides + databases
Thank alot chumpywumpy ^^
I'll be looking forward for ur full Release
have a nice day :)
Re: My guides + databases
I have taken the database link off for now. If anyone has then do not use the account db as i have found 3 tables i cleared that should no be cleared and you won;t be able to create new chars. If you have installed the account database then either overwrite it witht he one that comes with the server files or post here and i will give you some sql queries to fix it.
I have tested the rest of them and they look ok. I am putting more fixes in now so i can put the links back up and then finish the server install guide and my server repack.

Re: My guides + databases + server files repack!
Forgive me if I intrude, but I packed the DB files up into one easy .rar for you. I thought they might be included in the full repack, but they're not >.~
