3. Client Files: Client is 2 pieces of that cake we had (that makes 5 so far).
It’s what your players confront everyday while playing, it’s your interface and were you actually show them you are not a Mu Online server, but a specific server to come back at.
This starts as soon as the player goes to your website or reads your ads, how gay is to have servers hosting their clients in rapidshare or megaupload?
Even more! How gay is when they don’t offer the chance to pick from rapidshare AND megaupload. If you are an admin and want to save bandwidth close all the porn you are downloading, stop downloading crap and start uploading more clients.
Let’s just follow some straight directions
• If you are using free hosts choose easy ones to understand, don’t use stupid hosts that ask to install a stupid bar,
that kind of warez sucks and shouldn’t be supported. If you choose to use them at least make a guide for your players on how to disable the stupid bars [like the megaupload/Firefox trick].
•
Upload your client to different places! Not everyone can download from everywhere, if you are looking to be an international server then go international and use different hosting.
• Upload at least 4 different versions of your client.
Full, only sound, only music, no sound no music. Then make 4 different patches when you need to update your client. Once again; full, only sound, only music, no sound no music.
People appreciate that, happy users = crowded server = donations = improving. A good idea is to set downloads at forum first but don’t force users to register, show them a nice and easy forum, they will return to it for updates.
• If you can get paid hosting (will be discussed in
point 5)
Now, I will try to explain some stuff about client, I credit myself and the people on this topic:
http://forum.ragezone.com/skins/skin-file-paths-here-168724.html. Monster BMD list was done by me by renaming each .bmd for another mob and writing down what they were, it’s not bullet proof, if you find a mistake please let me know, I will be releasing this to RZ in the thread I named before.

Crap! I had season 2 and I don’t know were I left that version of the file, if someone is nice and makes a list of them I will add you to the credits in this little guide. TY.
What can I do with that info Sr. Dios? Well, you can get any mob you like in any version. Imagine you removed dungeon world and replaced it with mmm… Aida, will you put dungeon mobs in Aida? Naaa! Instead just go to the list and find: MONSTER08.bmd = Ghost and replace it with MONSTER105.bmd = Dead Tree.
You now have an Aida mob ^^ (Ghosts look awesome with maya’s hand).
Note to self: Explain how to replace maps to them
Some stuff I never got to understand thought; one is that the mobs that have weapons after they are replaced they still have that weapon, so its not on the bmd, high seems also not to be there. People are 2 worried repacking crap (no offense, some repacks rule and some files rock) instead of trying to find stuff that no one ever got (yet another example: items shine).
This method can also be done with weapons! Remember good old ugly Giant Sword? Well, with the list that follows this lines you can get any of the new items to replace that unused one. Once again, it’s all there, I’m not coding anything, yet people still have Brass sets in their servers (Brass sucks! Man with tits = No go!).
(This list will be finished in time – if you want to help please say so or pm me the files).

Once again, I can’t find the files with season 2 stuff, sorry!
Note to reader: The "(number)" means the item id in item(xxx).txt on your server files.
Funny thing about sets is that the shine remains accordingly to what it had on the other set... So replacing Dragon Set with Ashcrow set with leave you with a Red Ashcrow set.
Remember those test items you sometime see as bugs on some servers? Well, they actually work! I have 2 sets more and just by adding some lines to item(kor).txt
Take a look at this:
Standard item(kor).txt version 97+99
Code:
27 2 2 1 1 1 "Magus Mask" 115 58 0 87 245 85 0 1 0 0
28 2 2 1 1 1 "Adamantine Mask" 103 56 0 85 85 33 2 0 0 0
29 2 2 1 1 1 "Test Side Helm" 199 39 0 80 205 62 0 0 0 0
30 2 2 1 1 1 "Test Side Helm" 199 39 0 80 205 62 0 0 0 0
end
JMK item(kor).txt
Code:
27 2 2 1 1 1 "Magus Pants" 91 64 0 88 235 77 0 0 0 1
28 2 2 1 1 1 "Adamantine Pants" 91 46 0 82 100 100 2 0 0 0
29 2 2 1 1 1 "Diamond Pants" 136 50 0 90 100 200 0 0 2 0
30 2 2 1 1 1 "Titanium Pants" 136 66 0 90 255 200 0 0 0 1
end
Then you just open your item.bmd file with SkyTeam BMD Editor (attached) and add to lines at the end of helms (remember that mg’s don’t use helm (use another set)), at the end of armour, gloves, pants and boots. You now have 2 more sets. The catch? Well, I don’t fully understand this but as your main wont give them shines (they don’t have any assigned) they will shine with the basic colour. Golden. Also (this is a conclusion I took, I’m not sure) if you add more bmd files to any of your client you will mess your skins us. I found that as I added bmds for the two new sets skins of medals, boks and olives changed. Some look cool, some sucked
![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The solution? Learn to live with them or code the main and share ^^ or you can do what I did, I chose to delete other items in order to keep the same skinning options I had. There are useless items if you host a server with experience over 100x . Nobody likes Serpent Borg xD, its week and looks pretty stupid (like brass ^^). That its your choice.
This will help you out:

In all this process I never mentioned ozt and ozt files; you will get a load poop of errors while replacing bmds, if you are patience you will write them all down by replacing one bmd at the time, make a nice list and help all RageZone users by sharing knowledge that came from hard work (its really hard work).
Sets are already done here: http://forum.ragezone.com/skins/skin-file-paths-here-168724.html (lacks season2)
There are also some ozj and ozt references in that topic. If you have the time, make an excel like I did, its easier to read for everyone.
I really think skinners and Mu fanatics should start to work on finishing this listings, client needs to be understood completely, if you can mod your client you can mod the way your players see and feel the game = A good server.
