Amazing Project again Sapito! 

[hanzobr]

Great project Sapito!
We already have this process memorized. But beginners will benefit greatly from using Froggo.
Congrats on the update!

1) En donde tú quieras ponerla, no hay diferencia.
2) En lo personal yo no uso visual studio para compilar en windows, siempre he usado WSL para ello

3) No que yo sepa

1) Wherever you want to put it, there is no difference.
2) Personally I don't use visual studio to compile on windows, I have always used WSL for it.

3) Not that I know of

Otra pregunta, como hacer para cambiar los nombres de las credenciales?

It looks like the WSLLauncher.ps1 file is missing from the AppData folder. That's why it's not possible to start the "rAthena WSL" from desktop.
Any idea for a fix?

I have the same problem. Have you managed to fix it?

Sadly no. I tried some stuff manually, but couldn't really figure it out.
I used another guide in the end and could make it start.
Still having problems with translations, I think... Skills are all "Unnown Skill" and quests have no text at all, so...

I hoped to see some answers or a fix or anything, but it doesn't look like Froggo had time to work on this.

Hi there,

First, thank you for all the amazing work in making RO setup accessible for everyone!

I followed the steps in the tutorial, but when I double-click the 'rAthena WSL' shortcut, the Terminal opens briefly and then immediately closes. Upon investigating, I noticed that the 'WSLLauncher.ps1' script is missing from the %AppData%\Roaming\froggostuff folder.

Did I miss a step, or could this be an issue with the setup? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

你好呀，

首先，感謝您為讓每個人都能使用 RO 設定所做的出色工作！

我按照教程中的步驟操作，但是當我雙擊“rAthena WSL”快捷方式時，終端機會短暫打開，然後立即關閉。經過調查，我注意到資料夾中缺少“WSLLauncher.ps1”%AppData%\Roaming\froggostuff腳本。

我是否錯過了一個步驟，或者這可能是設定的問題？任何建議將不勝感激！

提前致謝。

I encountered the same issue here.
