Disabling or removing aura in 20131223 client

[Behelit 0]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm using the client posted here: http://herc.ws/board/topic/3768-2013-12-23-full-client-download/

I'm using the latest server version from here: https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules

 

How do I disable level 99 auras in this client?

 

I've tried doing all the server side stuff, but the aura still shows at 99. I've tried looking for the aura files in data/texture/effect in all the grf files, but I can't find any images with aura in the name. Have they been renamed? Is there something I can do with a hex editor to disable auras? Can someone help me solve the riddle of disabling auras in the client?

Right, I got that. I'm actually looking for a way of doing that without manual intervention. In earlier clients it was accomplished with a diff, but I can't find a diff that does that for this client.

Diff your client without aura level 99/150 or edit your conf/battle/client.conf and edit line 64 to aura_lv: 999, it may work.

Diffing would be preferable, you wouldn't happen to know where I could find said diff? I tried editing the /conf/battle/client.conf, but it doesn't work.

Then you need to edit your .exe with an hexadecimal editor.

Now we are getting someplace! I applied both those and it removed MOST of the aura... But the ring_blue.tga was still there. However, when I try to hex out the .tga with zeros, the whole thing gets replaced with a new 3 file aura. XD Is there a list of all the aura file names? This would be a lot easier if I could just go through a list. Thank you very much by the way, this has been very frustrating to find info on.

 

EDIT: Hmm, strange, I tried zeroing out the .tgh on ring_blue.tga again and it worked. Also, there is another .tga called whitelight.tga that you have to do the same thing with. It's the floating bubbles for the 2nd classes. No more aura at level 99.

 

Now, I just need to figure out the file names for the 3rd class auras that appear at level 175. Does anyone know them?
