[Guide] AndRO Free Version RAR

[Rivers]

Many people have been asking me how I got my server, or theirs, working online using AndRO apk.

• Firstly, download AndRO's latest APK here.: http://roworkshop.com/andro/main/index.html

This guide works for v260 , v288 & v323 

• Next, take all necessary files for running a server. These are the files from a fresh kRO, or in most cases a "Lite" version of a server. (In this example I used my Lite server files.) Below is a compiled folder of the files you need. Modify the clientinfo.xml to contain your information, add your client.exe, add your patcher, & your server grf.

•  
• Then, I zipped everything into a RAR file. Downloading that onto my mobile device, in the Downloads folder. (Create new folder for version 288 and above)
• Using almost any RAR extractor tool from Google Play Store you can extract all the files into your Downloads folder. Once completed you will then run your AndRO application. (NOTE: This will not create a custom icon for your server. To do that you need to buy the APK version of your server from AndRO Workshop.)

clieninfo.xml

• Now you might have some questions about the clientinfo.xml that you'll need to put into your main GRF. Below is an example of what mine looks like. This allows my server to read everything in plain English and not Acsii.

</clientinfo>

 

Common errors:

• Unable to Find Resource values : Fixed by re-selecting the directory. If this fails, your clientinfo may not be there or it can't read your GRF; this is common with incorrectly encrypted GRFs. V260
• Crashes after selecting server directory, with no error : Fixed by disabling Gepard. If you have Gepard and want to keep it active you will need the paid version mentioned above. V260
• Item Descriptions not in Enlgish : Fixed by changing clientinfo.xml to read data folder first and selecting it to read itemInfo.lua files. V260
• Application will not read Downloads folder : Fixed by giving AndRO application Storage permissions. V260
• Fatal Error: java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "host.name.here.net": No Address associated with hostname. : Fixed by closing App completely, reloading app, "change" directory, reselect Downloads folder and reopening the directory. sounds annoying, because it is, but it works! V260
• data/sprite/인간족/머리통/여/2073_여.spr : Fixed by adjusting your Packet version in the packet line of clientinfo.xml. V260
• data/sprite/인간족/머리통/남/33_남.spr : Fixed by reseting look to default. Many pallets and hairstyles are not working. V260
• File format error. Try to delete your client folder "/directory/". Failed to Parse LUA file: /data/user/0/com.rowork-shop.androlocalclientfiles/tmp.lub:30000 (or any other combination of numbers) unexpected symbol near 'symbol/text_error' : Fixed by scrolling to the specified line of your LUA/LUB and adjusting the improper values. V260
• Failed to connect to resource server : Fixed by adding the patch directory to the clientinfo.xml / If your GRF is encrypted you will need to decrypt it. V260
• Patch list error 1 at line 1 : Fixed by removing Patch and Website lines from your GRF. This is for those who don't use websites for their server. V260
• Failed to connect to map server : Fixed by double checking the patch directory on the clientinfo.xml. It is important to have both patch directory lines in it to receive connections. V260
• Fatal error Failed to load map: * : Fixed by either reselecting the Path in Settings and changing it, even if it's identical to what you have now; or by reinstalling the AndRO Freeware. V260
• Failed to parse LUA: Only supporting v5.0, sorry : May have an older version that is not compatible with the latest AndRO. V260
• Game crash without error/AndRO apk has stopped working : This can be because you are in @hide. Unhide to be able to load the game again. This can also be an issue with the version, I downloaded v288 and this issue resolved itself. V260
• Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void . . 3.. (int, int)' on a null object reference : This error is still being investigated. It is believed to be the same error as the Game Crash/AndRO apk has stopped working. V288

 

More will be added and polished as I learn more. Thanks for reading thus far. If you need assistance compiling your mobile server let me know and I'll try my best to help.
