How to properly start a Cabal client

This isn't really that obvious to people new to cabal and it needs a guide really.

Once you have installed your client (check the stickies in the release section) and applied one of the login patches (also on the stickies) you need to give cabalmain.exe an extra command or it won't even try connecting to your server.

First make sure your computer is not hiding things from you.

• Go to your cabal client folder
• Click Tools->Folder options
• Switch to the View tab
• Untick "Hide extensions for known filetypes"

Now create a new textfile by clicking File->New->Text document in the cabal folder and call it "play-cabal.bat". You will get a warning when you do this just say Yes to it. Now right-click the file and select edit so you can paste the following into it:

Code:

---

cabalmain.exe breaklee

---

Save the file. Always use this .bat file to launch the cabal client as it is this "breaklee" command that tells it to read internal.txt and connect to the IP it finds in there, yours.

The internal.txt file is just a plain textfile in the data folder of your cabal client that should have the following in it.

Code:

---

IP=gameserver IP
PORT=38101
CHAT_IP=gameserver IP
CHAT_PORT=38121

---

cabalmain.exe breaklee

breaklee is 4.7mb file format right ? and use start cabal.bat or .exe ?

its an "cabal.bat" files not and exe

sometimes u can use .exe if u have? ;)

hmm why mine still unable to connect to the server?
i've downloaded GPCabal client and use the RZpatch as what chumpy said in the other guide..

All the batch file does is call cabalmain.exe in the same folder using the "breaklee" switch. There is no way it can be producing crystal reports as that is an entirely different application and doesn't exist in the cabal folder. Make sure play-cabal.bat is in the cabal folder.

yes i'm sure i've put the play-cabal.bat in cabal folder

Just compile the code with c++ and you have an exe file.

chump i just confuse on what to put on the internal.txt ip
is it the centos ip, wan ip or my windows ip?

After I completed mssql, cp and centos. I registered thru CP and try to play using recommended GP-Client patched with RZPatch but it just waiting at Cabal login screen. No sign of pop up message reporting any error.

does anybody here have a full gp client link.... Not in split zip files in one whole file download...

Check the sticky about what to do with connection problems. It is impossible to help you based on "its not working", much info is needed.

Not here because of the size. Anyone posting it would see all their bandwidth lost in about 3 days. Go to og planet and download from one of their official mirros, update and then apply SAUR0N's patch and add an internal.txt (GP is a US client).

Use batch (.bat) format, or instead of breaklee, use -breaklee when right-clicking your Cabal client's shortcut, then type -breaklee after the line in the 'Target:' field. ;)

just make your own launcher. and main and finish xD

I tried almost everything I could find using search within a week to solve my issues before posting so I'm not a complete noob.

I tried GP-cabal Patch, Snaity's PatchUS, and RZPatch and I cannot connect to the cabal server. I disabled all firewall and am good at networking computer. I don't see launcher or login screen. I have read lots of forum threads and tried on two different computers.

I followed Chumpy, dordort, Mahi, and Cypher's guides. I also downloaded multiple Cabal Client version. I even tried ignoreclientversion=1

here are my logs, please help me.

I cannot connect my GP client as well following your guide. I have read the other posts for connection issue too. Maybe, I don't understand what it means to patching the client. Isn't it just extracting the patched files(cabalmain.exe and Data folder) I download and copy them to the client folder. If so, I did this with the RZ patch and patchus. However, I have tried SAUR0N's patch since I cannot find where to download it.

please help.

nvm - I found my issues - Mixed up CENTOS IP ADDRESS AND MSSQL2005 SERVER IP ADDRESS in all the .ini files. MSSQL2005 Linked Server label was also mismatching with the /etc/odbc.ini file

thanks so much for sharing - BIG Credits to all contributors of development, guides, and tutorials for noobs like me.

i had install cabal and setting centos server..the server seem working properly but i cant start the cabal client..i already made bat files to run cabal launcher, when i click the bat file, Xtrap popup and i cant run the game..i dont have internet connection..plz help me to solve this client problem

If xtrap is popping up then you are using an xtrap protected exe and not a login patch. Use one of the login patches posted here such as saur0n's or mine (mine are in /etc/cabal/docs/clientfiles on centos if you use my server files).

thanks..now my problem to connect to the server..it failed..my internal.txt ip same as centos ip but failed to cnnect..the server working..what is the problem?

same as my problem chumpy i try to connect but failed.. i enter the ID: and password in cabal log in but the message is can you have failed to connect the server "please try later" chumpy what can i do to fix this.. im almost done thanks to you.. in my internal txt. i enter my IP address i see my IP in local area connevtion status.

you could write "breaklee" as the exe parameter ? am I right ??

I've got question in the 1st post is said GAMESERVER IP is this mean the CentOS ip the one with 192.***.***.*** ... ???

the version of cabal client from og planet can still be use as client?
i tried with cabalsea client but it cant be use.. coz cabal got some major update not long ago..

but I should use this CentOS IP and only I can connect to my server to connect other people I should use my WAN IP ?! CentOS IP Is for local playing ... :S

I'm using the *.bat now...


But when I type the ID and pass, Say that they are wrong!
But is not wrong!

some solution?

thanks in advance

SOLVED THIS PROBLEM !!!

But now I'm having this:

What's this?

Do client patch files have to be the same version as the installed ones? For example, if installed version 1.0.0.2612 of cabalmain.exe and you patch with version 1.0.0.22?

Because Im having REAL difficulty running my client! IP addresses are correct, basically, I get errors like 'caba.enc is corrupt' and same for other .enc files!

HELP!

just use a proper patch to fix those problems. i would recommend a normal ogplanet un-updated version and saur0n`s patch.

Please help!
I now ( after soooo long ) got the client talking to my server. But now, I can go as far as selecting my character after login screen. But cabalmain.exe randomly crashes :

'Cabal Online has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvienience. Please tell us about the problem.'

And do I wish to send details of this crash to EST Soft.

Please help??

P.S I have tried other clients and moving around some dll files but nothing changes. I replaced the 'KarasX2.dll' file but then I cannot log on to character screen.

Thanks in advance!!!

use ogplanet client with saur0n`s patch.

i can't find internal.txt in my cabal client folder....can someone help me with that?

Why i cant see the files of chumpy? It says " Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator. " Is there something wrong with my account in rz?

i have a prob...it says the cabal.enc is corrupted.what should i do??re-install cabal client??
i'm not very sure so i thought i should ask first.

Use a cabalmain.exe that has the ENC hash check removed.

The one that comes with the v2.81 file (/root/clientfiles/clientpatch) has the check removed as does saur0n's "client synch patch" release (the one in the v2.81 server files is actually saur0n's). This file can use any enc files, normally the client is told to only load 1 specific set.

I get runtime error when i open exe

what should i do? http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/8962/60829642.png Uploaded with ImageShack.us

how can we hide our Internal.txt and how can we secure our server
