The same thing was asked a few days ago.
It was asked by someone called lolumad or something close to that.
Why don't you look back a little , search through threads and find it, instead of posting a new topic?

 

[marceloantonio1]

There's a fixed topic talking about this.

 

[AcidRayne]

thanks guys i found it i searched believe me but his didnt come up i guess someone can delete this post now and thanks

 

[lolumadsir]

can you post it here? how did you fix it?

 

[AcidRayne]

have been searching an hour and i haven't found anything useful "use CPW" "orly? cool too bad as far as i know CPW is for auto patching" thats pretty much what its been the entire time i just need a detailed tut on making a manual patch

 

[Romulan]

manual patch is simply cpw files inside a packed archive....

not trying to be a **** but that means nothing to me ive never even heard of CPW much less used it XD im a complete nub to this part of server stuff i know it may seem like im sitting here asking you to spoon feed me but that's not the case im just absolutely clueless

 

[Romulan]

Well... Cpw is needed to make manual patch for perfect world. The cpw tool here "convert" all files to be used by the Cpw system of perfect world and also the .cup patch

So in order you need to setup the Cpw tool before making the manual patches...

okay so i need to search forums to find a download of CPW? or is the one in 343s pwdev release good?

Yes you can use the one inside 343's release.

 

[AcidRayne]

awesome (ur gonna hate me for asking this lmfao) okay so how do i use this XD

 

[Romulan]

Taken from Readme file inside 343's release...

This release comes with CPW pre-installed and pre-configured...

All you must do is fully un-pack and place your entire client in /opt/cpw/files/new/

*Please note that /opt/cpw/files/new/ *CANNOT* contain any PCK's (you must fully un-pack your client [do NOT forget PCK's in sub-directories {ie... element/help/}])

Example -- The file loginpage.ini from the pack configs.pck would be (found/put) in:
/opt/cpw/files/new/element/configs/loginpage.ini

or, the file list.txt from the pack script.pck would be (found/put) in:
/opt/cpw/files/new/element/help/script/list.txt

*Please also note that you must be cautious to preserve files and directories that contain Chinese characters in their name...
One program I recommend using is 7zip, because it saves in UTF32 - this will preserve our Chinese file and directory names...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

STEP 1) FULLY UN-PACK CLIENT AND PLACE IN:
        /opt/cpw/files/new/

STEP 2) RUN BASE BUILD:
        ./cpw initial

STEP 3) TO CREATE PATCHES - PLACE NEW FILES IN:
        /opt/cpw/files/new/

   3.B)
        ./cpw revision [revision_number]

        or

        ./cpw new [revision_number]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Content of a Patch CUP (manual patch file):

ec_patch_0-1.cup
ec_patch_0-1.cup/version
ec_patch_0-1.cup/v-1.inc
ec_patch_0-1.cup/element/*.* (where the new files are)

Create a .CUP using PW-PACK (or sPCK, etc...)
Files are found (file names are in base64) in /opt/cpw/files/CPW/

yea i get some error when i try that
building/model/d/q36???.mox does not exist
System Error. Code: 123.
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
am i doing something wrong?
(btw im using winscp to get unpacked files and client over too /opt/cpw/files/new should i not be? and how else would i do it?)

 

[Romulan]

Maybe your OS don't like chinese filenames...

 

[AcidRayne]

well i know winscp doesnt is there any other way to get files there?maybe make and ISO out of my client and mount it cp -R * / it into /opt/cpw/files/new or something?

 

[Romulan]

Use filezilla, it's better than winscp for me. Maybe it will work. Or yeah you could make an iso and mount it.

 

[343]

Indeed, that's what the pw_client un-packed is for on my release. It's an ISO of a 7z (to preserve the Chinese file names)...

Or of course the best thing to do would be to manually (fully) un-pack your client then compress into a 7z - then make an ISO.

I personally never use WinSCP or any other networked file transfer system/method for transferring files between systems with different OS's... I tend to make ISO's or use physical media (USB drives, optical discs)...

I find that to be the most reliable.
