Ive been using WeeDiffGen and for some reason on clients 2011-11-22aRagexeRE and above it doesn't give the option to add 127 custom hairstyles is there a way to manually hex it or does this feature no longer work on newer exe's?

It should work for non 3rd classes but it won't work for 3rd classes based on the update which was done to prevent too big a packet to be sent to the client when it goes over a certain number of skills. The client stops sending the skill add if it goes over 200 and most 3rd classes have more then that.

Automatic backups are best done with software like swordsky has really good software with really good options that allows you to back up really large databases and it works as a windows service.

Initially it takes quite long to load even for someone with broadband while it looks nicely many ro players still might not have broadband connections or live in countries which have slow connections or bandwith limitations so I don't think its fuctional for those people.

You have two options you can either remove some of the packets from 2011-11-02aRagexe like for example the wanttoconnection or you can do the other below and make 2012-03-07fRagexeRE packet version 29 like it should be cause otherwise the connection's and different packets would conflict with each other. //2012-03-07fRagexeRE packet_ver: 29 0x086A,19,wanttoconnection,2:6:10:14:18 0x0437,5,walktoxy,2 0x0887,6,ticksend,2 0x0890,5,changedir,2:4 0x0865,6,takeitem,2 0x02C4,6,dropitem,2:4 0x093B,8,movetokafra,2:4 0x0963,8,movefromkafra,2:4 0x0438,10,useskilltopos,2:4:6:8 0x0366,90,useskilltoposinfo,2:4:6:8:10 0x096A,6,getcharnamerequest,2 0x0368,6,solvecharname,2 0x0369,26,friendslistadd,2 0x0863,5,hommenu,4 0x0861,36,storagepassword,0 0x0929,26,partyinvite2,2 0x0885,7,actionrequest,2:6 0x0889,10,useskilltoid,2:4:6 0x0870,-1,itemlistwindowselected,2:4:8 0x0926,18,bookingregreq,2:4:6 0x0815,-1,reqopenbuyingstore,2:4:8:9:89 0x0817,2,reqclosebuyingstore,0 0x0360,6,reqclickbuyingstore,2 0x0811,-1,reqtradebuyingstore,2:4:8:12 0x0884,-1,searchstoreinfo,2:4:5:9:13:14:15 0x0835,2,searchstoreinfonextpage,0 0x0838,12,searchstoreinfolistitemclick,2:6:10 0x0439,8,useitem,2:4

Or you can use KGB Archiver to make a self extracting installer and it's able to compress files from 2gb down to 200mbs.

Open up your packet_db.txt and delete all of the entry's from //2012-03-07fRagexeRE down these should be packetver 29 because the login was changed. By removing them your 2011-11-22 will work again as long as you compiled it and you wont get any issues loging in.

@Paulinds You run the item_db.sql found in the sql-files folder to make the database or if you've modified yours you could use a txt to mysql converter. @isaw4sal3 You can you would have to work that out between the old hosting and the new hosting usually they will transfer your files for you to the new host.

My friend was wondering the same thing and he tested and found out that they aren't anymore you can use <jobname> with 3rd classes for coloring.

+1 to finishing the last of the 3rd classes which are missing skills (genetic) and (sorcerer) and finishing the other skills where aren't renewal mechanics. oboro and karagu would be nice too and S class homonculus. Id love to see the change for how storage works so that players don't have to worry about going over the client item limit. Example: If you have 600 and you put 1 item into lets say the ect tab that item will disapear from view. The more items you add into the tab will eventually make ect tab unviewable until you pull out all of the items and hope you can at that point sometimes though if you put too many items into one tab type you can no longer fix it by removing all the items. Each tab for items should load as a seprate set instead of all at once. Like if I click the cash tab only cash items should load and not all of the other tabs if I click ect only ect items should load and so on this way its not possible to go over the client limit and the game isn't loading all 7 tabs at the same time causing items to go missing if you go over the client limit. You know if your over because you'll get a packet error saying its a size to big for the client to handle. It also would make it possible to extend the amount of storage items because each tab could have 600 items at that point. But I'm just talking about stability right now that would be something optional. Well that's all I can think of right now their was something else but it escapes me.

Antidisestablishmentarianism

Routers aren't friendly in general for hosting anything. Usually if you have to host a server it should be a dedicated one that doesn't get routed simply because shared networks will cut down on the servers bandwith causing lag. If you plan on opening a server and having more then your neighborhood friends then you should invest in a real server without a router.

2. Really depends on the host most don't set up your source for you unless you go with one of the few ones which offer that type of option like the servers which provide free compiling. Normally the SVN files are set up by yourself your host just makes sure to set up the things like mysql and making sure which ever programs you need are installed.

The real reason most people haven't switched to rathena yet is more that its still an unfinished project most people wouldn't want to upgrade to something which is still missing important skills for main classes. Its true that not all the skills have renewal based forumla's either yet but people prefer if everything atleast did something before considering on using it to replace current svn's which everything is working atleast in a pre-renewal aspect. The lack of customization of the source has nothing at all to do with why or why not people are using it. If your attempting to make a server and you don't have the skills to script commands yourself then you should be able to either afford to hire someone to do it for you or learn how to do it. You shouldn't need to ask the developers to make a easier way which might take them away from fixing skills and mechanics which are vital to rathena. Besides if I had a really awesome idea for something that is custom I wouldn't want to share it with everyone anyhow because then you would see tons of servers who decide they like it and have no skill in adding the feature themself just use the easy system to make it. I think the more important goal is just to make the system up to standards with iro or kro renewal then if after all the cleanups and everything else is done someone wants to re-invent the wheel for rathena then it can be added but not before the svn is usable to the point of all skills working.
