Updated to 2.4.5, added community contributed mirror support for kRO main and sakray. Further applications for approved mirror servers are welcome.

After some talk on the IRC there will be something better than a plug-in. I wonder if I manage to get it done in this extended weekend.

Since there is no further movement in the poll, it concludes with the following result:

There will be a new "tool", that does both patching and launching (most likely RO Patcher Lite Core built atop ROCred UI). Majority of the RPI's floating around (p-server client survey) are plug-ins responsible for managing patch information, skinning and HTML patch news, which will be part of the new application, so there will be no plug-in system/API for the time being. The RO Patcher Lite API will probably be put on ice as well. No further efforts will be put into ROCred anymore, except bug-fixes (or "security patches" as some people love to word it). Thank you everyone who participated. 
Update 2015-12-23:
Currently struggling (for a few months now) with one of the most basic things: sockets.
 
 
 
Update 2016-02-21:
Things are finally starting moving. While I still cannot state some ETA, sockets are being actively worked on, basically typing.
 
 
 
Update 2016-09-29:
Sockets are complete, time to put all those puzzle pieces together.
 
Update 2017-04-15:
The core still needs some work, but it starts to look good.

Updated to 2.11.5, adds French translation. No functional changes.
 
Updated to 2.11.6, adds ASLR/DEP. No functional changes.

Currently all of the translations are complete, except for 2 or 3 bits from Russian.

Will probably take a while, after my pc's psu blew up.

Not quite sure what you mean with combine, but putting the client in ROCred's resources, will not make ROCred magically pull the client out of it's sleeve when you press "Start".

It could be done with a plug-in. Note, that FTP is the main requirement for the patches, HTTP alone will not do it.

INI:
Menu "Action" -> "Add a new resource..." Button "Open file with new resource" -> select your rocred.ini Field "Resource Type": Enter RCDATA Field "Resource Name": Enter CONFIG Field "Resource Language": Enter 0 Button "Add Resource" Menu "File" -> "Save" Skins (ex. background):Menu "Action" -> "Add a new resource..." Button "Open file with new resource" -> select your background bitmap (.bmp) Field "Resource Type" should turn into BITMAP. Field "Resource Name": Enter BGSKIN Field "Resource Language": Enter 0 Button "Add Resource" Menu "File" -> "Save"

Other than setting up a (korean) proxy server in IE settings, no.

In case you connect to Internet over wireless, try fixing that first.

Might be a problem between you and the patch server then, works fine for me.

INI:
Menu "Action" -> "Add a new resource..." Button "Open file with new resource" -> select your rocred.ini Field "Resource Type": Enter RCDATA Field "Resource Name": Enter CONFIG Field "Resource Language": Enter 0 Button "Add Resource" Menu "File" -> "Save" Skins (ex. background):Menu "Action" -> "Add a new resource..."

Updated to 2.10.0, adds three new in-game commands and improves compatibility and troubleshooting.
 
New bits:
IDINFOICON_SOUND_MISSINGFILES, "Warning: Missing or corrupt 'Miles Sound System' files.nnYou are missing some or all of the following files: 'mss32.dll', 'mssfast.m3d', 'mp3dec.asi'. Background music might not work." IDCHECKBOX_MONSTERHP, "Turns monster HP display on and off.nnIngame: /monsterhp" IDCHECKBOX_Q1, "Turns F9 mouse-mapping on and off.nEnables you to use a skill assigned to F9 hotkey with a right-click.nnIngame: /quickspell or /q1" IDCHECKBOX_Q2, "Turns F7 and F8 mouse-mapping on and off.nEnables you to use skills assigned to F7 and F8 hotkeys by rolling the mouse wheel up and down respectively.nnIngame: /quickspell2 or /q2"

Updated to 2.11.4, adds Thai translation. No functional changes.

Well, currently ROCred+Patcher (not limited to RO Patcher Lite) can be achieved by specifying ROCred as client in the patcher config.

Sure.

I want to share the mineffect resources for Ai4rei's RagEffect plugin that we did in AtlantisRO:
 
mineffect resources for RagEffect Plugin.rar
 
Just download Ai4rei's RagEffect plugin to get rageffect.asi file, since I only provide the id2rageffect.txt. The str files are modified versions based in a grf for reduction effects using the ROSTRviewer to make the editions.
 
I hope you get usefull this version and thanks to Ai4rei for make so amazing plugin.
 
Please feel free to do any suggestion to improve this mineffect version.

I assume that means the patcher should update multiple GRF's at the same time (parallel). There is no real benefit of doing so in comparison to patching one after another (sequentially). Actually the patch process will be slowed down if the connection is over-utilized or storage is a mechanical hard drive (delays through unnecessary seeking due to multitasking).
 
tl;dr: Already supported, except not in parallel, but sequentially.

Updated to 1.9.1, removed /embed functionality, as the API functions used for that are flagged as "uncommon", "potentially dangerous" and "hacktool" by the anti-virus heuristics causing false-positives. You can still embed config with ResourceHacker.

About
Simple and tiny client launcher+login. Has no prerequisites and runs on all Windows versions. Known Issues
[aavc] This tool is not safe for computers running Avast Anti-Virus. Download
binary, reference source Q & A Is it customizable?
Yes. How?
With resource editing tools, such as ResourceHacker. All text and icons can be customized. Settings can be edited in an INI file, instructions on how to do that are provided in the example files together with the launcher. What is "reference source"?
You cannot compile it (unless you provide the missing components), but see what functionality the latest binary contains. I want it to be xyz.exe, but it does not read the INI file. Why?
You have to match the INI name to the EXE name. rocred.exe -> rocred.ini mytest.exe -> mytest.ini  
How can I embed an INI file into the EXE?
Add the INI file as RCDATA resource named CONFIG with ResourceHacker. How do I use background skinning?
Create a file named bgskin.bmp (magenta #ff00ff is considered transparent). You can also embed the file as BITMAP resource with the name BGSKIN. Window size is adjusted to the bitmap size, position of controls must be set in the INI. Buttons can be skinned as well, see the INI for names.
Can I add custom buttons, if so, how many?
Yes, see the INI template for details. There is no defined limit on how many, the only constraints are available memory, GDI resources and INI size limit on some platforms. By the way, custom buttons can be skinned as well. Why does the client not auto-login when I press "Start" / Why do I have to login twice?
The client must be 2010-08-04aRagexeRE or newer and must not have the "Restore Login Window" patch and should have the "Use SSO Login Packet" patch.
