Guide setting up 2013+ Client for Hercules

[zackdreaver 90]

Hello community,
I want to share BASIC guide for setting up Client date 2013+

(custom items, jobs, weapons, etc, go away)

This is a compact list that you can follow to setup your client, let's start:

[1]. Download latest kRO Installer from :

• [*]

https://www.nickyzai.com/?p=kro [*]http://herc.ws/board/topic/10666-release-2012-04-10-ragexere-full-client/ [*]Torrent : https://kickass.to/ragnarok-online-06-06-2014-kro-client-folder-t9211110.html

I will update when I found the other links.

[2]. Choose which client date you want use, list clients date (Ragexe) that available in Hercules:

• [*]

2014 : 2014-01-15, 2014-02-05, 2014-03-05, 2014-04-02, 2014-04-16, 2014-10-16, 2014-10-22  [*]2013 : 2013-03-20, 2013-05-14, 2013-05-22, 2013-05-29, 2013-06-05, 2013-06-12, 2013-06-18, 2013-06-26, 2013-07-03, 2013-08-07, 2013-08-14, 2013-12-18, 2013-12-23, 2013-12-30

The recomended and stable clients are bolded

[3]. Download UNPACKED Ragexe from :

• [*]2013 :

http://k3dt.eu/Ragexe/unpacked/ [*]2014 : https://github.com/ThemonChan/2014-Ragexe-Client [*]Fixed 2014 April client, Link by @Lilystar : https://mega.co.nz/#!alM3kRyC!9z7xDPmFU3J9UFg4hXjNcv9XnLZxG5AL87iNksjpSiM

[4]. Use NEMO patcher to diff your client

• [*]

http://herc.ws/board/topic/2905-nemo-client-patcher/ , Use the git link, not the zip file. [*]Extract your client then open NEMO.exe [*]Browse and select your client. [*]Click "Load Client" button [*]Click "Select Recomended" button (Its checked all basic diffs) [*]Checked "Load Custom lua file instead of iteminfo.lub" Patch, and fill it with "System/iteminfo.lua" [*]Then click "APPLY SELECTED" button. (Default result will like this : yyyy-mm-ddbRagexe_patched.exe) [*]Move your patched.exe to your Ragnarok folder.

[5]. Now you got the patched exe, next is to edit your Hercules so it accept your client date

• [*]go to

srccommon and open "mmo.h" [*]scroll down to #define PACKETVER [*]then changed "#define PACKETVER yyyymmdd" to your client date (eg: #define PACKETVER 20140416) [*]Add "//" before "#define ENABLE_PACKETVER_RE" , because we use Ragexe [*]Save then compile your hercules. (choose "release", not "debug")

Compiling guide: http://herc.ws/wiki/Compiling

Setting up server guide: http://herc.ws/board/topic/968-guide-how-to-setup-hercules/

 

[6]. Now everything is ready to play, but you don't want to play with korean/unknown letter right?

• [*]Ok, now go to

http://herc.ws/board/topic/398-client-translation-project/ [*]Download it, after that, copy the "data" folder to other folder (case sensitive). [*]Add your clientinfo.xml inside it (in folder data), then make a GRF from this. (Use GRF editor http://herc.ws/board/files/file/138-grf-editor/) [*]Save and name it "english.grf". [*]Move it to your Ragnarok folder. [*]Open your DATA.ini, if you don't have it, open your patched.exe, that should create one. [*]Add this line "1=english.grf" below "[Data]", without quote. so it will be like this : [*]

[Data]1=english.grf2=data.grf

[*]Copy all files inside "SystemFont" folder of client translation, then paste it to Ragnarok "SystemFont" [*]Lastly copy "itemInfo.lua" and "Towninfo.lub" from client translation project to your ragnarok "system" folder [*]That's it! run Hercules's "run-server.bat" and open your patched.exe and play.

[7]. Updating your KRO

1. To make sure your KRO fully up to date, download RO patcher by Ai4rei , http://nn.nachtwolke.com/dev/rsu/
2. Put rsu-kro-rag-lite.exe to your ragnarok folder, run it until the patch is complete , then close it.
   

 

P.S : Experimental client like 2014-10-22bRagexe and 2015-05-13aRagexe are NOT RECOMENDED to be used as client for your server.

many broken feature inside them (like missing packets or unimplemented feature)

as Developer still working on it (with no exact date), use it at your own risk

===============================================
===================  F . A . Q  ===================
===============================================

1. Can i have a guide to setup Server/Hercules?

http://herc.ws/board/topic/968-guide-how-to-setup-hercules/

2. My Items/Buttons name are in korean/unknown letters?
Use translated one from Client translation project
http://herc.ws/board/topic/398-client-translation-project/

3. How to use GIT? or What is GIT?

Its a "better" version of SVN

Follow this guide http://herc.ws/board/topic/152-obtaining-hercules/

then use this guide to download other project (eg: Nemo and client side translation)

by changing the address (eg: https://github.com/MStr3am/NEMO.git)

4. The new Prontera map is making my client crash/error!?
Use the old prontera map :
http://herc.ws/board/files/file/182-old-prontera/
Or download the one edited by Tokeiburu :
http://herc.ws/board/topic/8451-what-do-you-think-about-the-new-prontera/page-2#entry51193

5. I have "NO MSG" strings in game?
Make sure you checked the patch "Read msgstringtable.txt" in NEMO patcher
and use msgstringtable.txt from Client translation project

6. How to disable /h (Help Message) upon login ingame?
Enable patch "Disable Help Message on Login" in NEMO

7. I use your translated iteminfo.lua but my items still in korean/unknown letters?
Change your client diff "Load Custom lua file instead of iteminfo.lub" and use "iteminfo.lua"

8. What recomended Diff should i use?
Use the "Select Recomended" in NEMO patcher then add some of this diffs :
- Load Custom lua file instead of iteminfo.lub
- Skip License Screen
- Use Normal Guild Brackets

9. Why you aren't using any launcher (eg: Loki and ROLEX)?
I love easy stuff and NEMO have this patch "Restore Login Window"

10. My setup.exe keep popping up!
Don't use "HKLM To HKCU" patch

11. My status/state icon have no description!
Type "/stateinfo" in game

12. I want to use client for Pre-renewal, which date is good?
Any

13. I want my guild bracket use [ ] instead of ( )
Changed your langtype inside clientinfo.xml to 1

14. I use latest translated msgstringtable.txt from your project, but i still got big Inventory windows?
check here :
https://github.com/ROClientSide/Translation/tree/master/Data/MsgString
There are different msgstringtable.txt for each clients, use the one that you use.

15. Can i have default clientinfo.xml?
sure,
clientinfo.zip

16. Where can i get Pre-renewal English data folder?
There is "Pre-Renewal" folder inside client translation project, use it.

Or : https://github.com/zackdreaver/ROenglishPRE

 

17. Why there are no RagexeRE?

Years ago, developer decided to use Ragexe instead RagexeRE because they are more stable.

 

18. Can you give me recommended GRF editor?

http://herc.ws/board/files/file/138-grf-editor/

 

19. Why its called "unpacked client"?

Because the newer clients protected by "Themida" , since 2012-07-24aRagexeRE

Themida? google it -.-

[Dastgir 1246]

here is the screenshot of the error..........

Maybe you diffed with one of the patches like Enable Custom Job/Shield, and didn't included its lua files, we don't provide any external lua, please check nemo project for those custom lua files.

[kurt001 0]

thanks.. now the error is gone.. i check nemo and i checked the custom shields and 3d bones.... but now the client only loads (can be seen on task manager only) and not opening any windows and after few seconds its closed... sorry for being a noob... only 2nd day of learning doing this stuff

[zackdreaver 90]

Hello @kurt001

i've already told you in 1st post that we just diff client with basic stuff,

if you diff it with custom shields and 3d bones that part of advanced stuffs.

 

Btw, have you include clientinfo.xml inside your english.grf?

[kurt001 0]

well im beginner myself so i dont know the anything about advance and basic here... i dont even know what to check on nemo

yeah.. i downloaded your clientinfo.xml and put it to data folder before making the grf... am i doing it right?... and i already unchecked those customs...

Edited March 11, 2015 by kurt001

[zackdreaver 90]

@kurt001

Every basic diffs is listed if you click "Select Recomended" button.

 

You're doing right by putting clientinfo.xml inside your grf.

[kurt001 0]

here am i doing it right? im getting this error too

i only checked select recommended and use ragnarok icon on nemo and i get this error... when i press ok.. ro exe closes...

PS... really sorry for being noob :'(

[zackdreaver 90]

you know what?

you don't have the fonts requirred in system/Font folder

download it from here :

https://github.com/ROClientSide/Translation/tree/master/System/Font

or if you already have git clone from this repo, just copy it to that folder.

good luck

[kurt001 0]

ohh.. i copied the font folder from trunk/system that i downloaded from http://herc.ws/board/topic/398-client-translation-project/  and paste it on my client system folder... and it opened the ragnarok window.... did i do it right?


but theres new error on opening... this is what i get.... i think im doing a progress
 

[zackdreaver 90]

are you using any cheat engine?

[kurt001 0]

no.... not using anything... just nemo with recommended and use ragnarok icon...

[zackdreaver 90]

no.... not using anything... just nemo with recommended and use ragnarok icon...

My friend Dastgir only mention this error is related to Old Nemo patcher,

You can get latest Nemo from github

As for some of files uploaded there, some binary data are edited.
It can be understood when compare it in WinMerge.
Because a part of the binary data end disappears, the file size is different.

 

When a repair is troublesome.
