    FYI, I have also added Custom Shields & Custom Jobs patches in WARP and yes it supports all clients from 2010 - 2021.

    New features
    Custom Shields:

    • Maximum Shield count can be customized now (limited to 127 for now).
    • You can also validate a shield id based on the job id by modifying the ValidateShieldID function in ShieldTable_F.lub.

    Custom Jobs:

    • All the Lua files are now in a different folder called 'JobInfo' to avoid mixing in with others.
       
    • You can specify different strings based on servicetype. For e.g. "korea" and "america" can have different strings. 
      To achieve this, you need to specify an override table with the name LT_<servicetype number>.
      For e.g. LT_0 specifies overrides for korea servicetype. Check PCNames.lub to get a clearer idea. 
      At present, it is only used for name changes & palette path changes.
       
    • Scaling for Baby Jobs can be changed. You can change this in Shrink_Map inside PCIDs.lub.
      There is one caveat though, due to client limitation, the factor needs to be specified as IEEE hex string.
      (no floating-point support in Lua function calls 😒)

    Common to both:

    • You get the option to copy the files to your patched client area. The files are copied only if you apply the patch.
    • For Custom Shields, the max shield value also gets updated in the copied file automatically.
       

    I was planning on more amount of changes in Custom Jobs, but it's on hold for now.

    hi @Neo-Mind when i use WARP the title icon is not show..how to show the icon?

    here some picture to refer...on the red mark

    Try using the patch "Restore Inbuilt Icon". I have fixed the issue with the title bar icon.

    In case you want to use your own icon then the "Use Custom Icon" patch should be selected instead.

    hi all just want to ask, how to get the launcher like this?how to create it?

    post-315-0-13905700-1394895316.png

    If you mean the launcher in front, that was made by @Haru for @ossi0110's server. Ah, the golden days.
    It used a master account system allowing you to have access to multiple accounts but with just 1 login.
    I believe she also used it for her own server...I don't remember the name of that one exactly.

    The window in the background is the PEEK tool as @fiction already mentioned.

    Merging is still in progress, the rsu codebase is messy, so it will take some time.

    Update 2017-08-04:

    Someone give me a full week hikikomori mode without disturbance and I can release it...

    Update 2017-08-05:

    People who will want to extend the functionality of the patncher, can start learning COM. The plug-in will have to establish communication with a call like this:

    hr = CoGetClassObject(CLSID_PluginServiceProvider, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, NULL, IID_IClassFactory, &lpServiceProvider);

    
hr = CoGetClassObject(CLSID_PluginServiceProvider, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, NULL, IID_IClassFactory, &lpServiceProvider);

    Update 2020-08-18:

    Obviously no one will read this, and no one will dare to make a necro-post in response to this. Since I have nothing to do for a week, I'm finishing that thing. Things are coming along quite well so far. The updater part is written from scratch, since the RSU code-base is too outdated. Not sure about the ROCred part, there is currently no UI. Oh yeah, there is no name either...

    Of course, people will read it 😀. Atleast I am waiting to see how this turns out.

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Since I couldn't get the turkey, I thought I would bring this instead. 

    Without further ado, Let me introduce...

    WARP (Windows Application Revamp Package)

    • Why this name?
      Because I like using acronyms and this name sounded apt. Plus it's the function & features that matter more.
      And no, I am not gonna change the name.
       
    • Why not just fix up NEMO?
      The codebase for NEMO is pretty much ancient at this point. So rather than fixing it up, I decided to go the route of creating it fresh from scratch. The end result is a far superior product. 
       
    • OK, but what if you end up AFRO (Away From RO)again?
      Well, I can't promise that I will be around forever. However, this time around, I am releasing the source code for the tool as well.
       
    • So, exactly what has changed?
      Well, quite a few things. Let's start off with how the GUI looks now.
      Warp.PNG.a5f930e5359ebc2734aa6f3e43872a0f.PNG
       
      • As you can see, the GUI is much more modern and aesthetically pleasing thanks to @Haziel & @Hadrias.
         
      • The package comes with 3 tools - Console version (for simple patching), Main GUI, and Tester GUI (for batch testing).
         
      • A big salute to @4144  for keeping NEMO alive while I was AFRO 😄.
        Ok, jokes aside, I discussed with him about the changes he made and I have incorporated almost all of them but with some differences. 
         
      • Language & Styles are now on the bottom as you can see. All the remaining menus have now been shifted to drawers (moving side panels). To reveal them you can either swipe from the respective edge or click the button at the top. 
         
      • The right side drawer houses all the Extensions (Used to be called 'Addons' in NEMO).
        They are now loaded independently of the client. This avoids unnecessary redefinitions and now you can also use Extensions for activities that don't need a loaded client.
         
      • All the common functions have been added to the 'Quick Actions' group and all the remaining ones are in the left drawer, which is not many. If you have suggestions for more features let me know.

        Moving on to the Back end (This is of no use to the regular user. So you can skip this part if you want)
         
      • It was high time for us to have a proper input file format. Enter YAML. Love it or hate it but it's here to stay.
        Frankly, I like it more than libconfig and INI. You would be seeing YAML being used for almost every file in WARP.
        This includes input files for Patches & Extensions, Files defining those two, Session files, etc.
         
      • Writing patches is far more flexible now. Say goodbye to PTYPE_HEX and \xAB. Now we can do wild card searches with the actual wild cards inside hex codes. Of course, we still need to have some well-defined characters for that.
        Currently, we have 2 forms of wildcards -
        • Nibble wise - For e.g. => A?, ??, ?3
        • Bit wise - For e.g. => [1.0...01] 
           
      • If you have any suggestions about it let me know.
         
      • Speaking of writing hex code, I have provided functions looking almost identical to Assembly instructions for generating their equivalent hex code. This helps in making the hex code more human-readable and adds a little more flexibility.
         
      • User inputs have a few more types and little more flexibility in specifying constraints now. 
         
      • Scripts have proper segregation now. Please follow them when adding your own.
        Only the scripts inside the 'Init' folder gets reloaded each time the client is loaded. This avoids unnecessary reloads.
         
      • exe has now become 'Exe'.  But in addition to this, you get 2 more objects - System (for filesystem activities) & Warp (whatever is outside the scope of the other two)
         
      • Many of the functions used for retrieving some constant information in the 'Exe' have become properties now. For e.g. PEoffset, ImageBase, BuildDate, etc.

         
      • During patching, the Diff section is only added if you have inserted any code using one of the 'Add' functions. Also, the Diff section now grows dynamically as per requirement (in increments of Section Alignment of course).
         
      • In addition to the Patched Exe, The tool also generates an (Extra Patch Info) file with the suffix '.epi'. It holds just enough info for the tool to recognize existing patches in an exe from a previous patch session. 
        So how is it useful? Let's say you have a patched client and its EPI file. But you don't have the original anymore.
        Now you can remove 1 or 2 patches and keep the rest OR even restore the original from the patched exe.
         
      • Last, but not least, I am providing documentation about everything including the API. But bear with me for a bit, as I am still working on the documentation part.
         
      • I probably forgot more points to add here, but I think this pretty much covers the important stuff. Anyway, the documentation would be pretty comprehensive.
         
    • Is it ready to be used now?
      • The tool is definitely ready. I have added most of the patches but not all just yet.
         
      • But I was not able to test all the patches in-game. So please don't attack me if something failed.
        I would appreciate a Bug Request in Github instead.
         
      • Also note, that some patches are still failing for new clients, and some failing for old ones. However, I saw the same behavior in NEMO, so that would be part of the next stage of operations - Updating Patch scripts.
         
    • So, where do I get it from?
      https://github.com/Neo-Mind/WARP
       
    • How to use it?
      There is a User Guide in the git repo (best viewed from Github itself). Everyone is used to NEMO by now, so it shouldn't be difficult to use this even without the guide. Plus the Github wiki is pretty detailed. 
       
    • Any last words before we close this?
      Just like in the case of NEMO, my intention with WARP is to create a common tool for patching without being restricted to RO or which OS you use it in. For this reason, you will be seeing multiple branches in the Git repo.

      If you are planning to use WARP for patching some other application, Create a branch using the 'win32' branch as a starting point.


      That's about it from me for now.

    Probably not xD.
    Anyways, I am working on development of a new patcher as a successor to the original aka NEMO. 

    Initially, I was planning to just release the source for NEMO but is quite outdated.
    So I decided to just start off fresh utilizing concepts from the original along with new ideas (Already have some implemented, which I will explain later)

    Also this time, I will be keeping it open source. I will publish to Github once there is a solid foundation.
     

    I am building it using the latest version of Qt (5.15) and utilizing QML for creating the GUI. I want to give it a more modern appearance, however, I am a "novice" on this front. So I am inviting suggestions for the UI from the talented individuals here.

    For changing Total String look for 

    "Total              :      %s"

    inside client in Hex Editor and change the spaces before ':' to what you want (only overwrite don't insert)

     

    For 2015-10-29 RE you can use the following 

     

    To Remove the box

    ----------------------------------

    Find      : E8 D1 5A 0C 00 68

    Replace: 83 C4 04 90 90 68

     

    To Remove "C" after the box

    ----------------------------------

    Find      : 68 D4 44 AC 00 83 E8 24

    Replace: 68 D5 44 AC 00 83 E8 24

    N.E.D. - Neo Express Decryptor

    (suggestions are open for a better name)

     

    What is this?

     So you might be wondering if this is really what it says in the title and yes it is. The purpose of this tool is plain and simple.

     If you have a GRF encrypted using SecureGRF and you know the password, you can use this tool to decrypt the GRF to get your original back - comes in handy if you forgot to backup the original.

     

    How does it work?

     Download it. Open it. Enter the path of your encrypted GRF in the Input Grf field and select the Output Grf filename (by default it suffixes "_decrypted.grf" to the input grf name). Enter the Password and click on Decrypt and your done.

     

    Note: The tool might take a few minutes if your GRF has a large number of files (but I see SecureGRF also taking similar amount of time to encrypt). 

     

    Anything else to know?

      I made this tool in a day because I was looking for something interesting to do. It has worked so far for all the GRFs I have tried it with.

    So just in case keep a backup. Let me know if you find any bugs.
