The .patched is your client.exe.

You need to put your clientinfo.xml into your ragnarok folder.

I placed the .patched in the Ragnarok Folder and after I run it there's nothing coming out.

1. Is my data folder correct? I think it's not. Please correct me. Do you know some links to download that "most recent data folder"? Does it synchronize with the RagRE exes I downloaded and diffed?

2. How to create the grf? Is it important? why?

3. How am I able to connect the client side to my server side? Would this be the way on scripting in Server Side database and then does it automatically updates with the client after I saved it?

Server Side Software and files I used:

-MySQL

-Visual Studio 2010

-rAthena

-Tortoise SVN

-Ragnarok 2012-06-05

I want to be a better administrator, the time would happen when I create and publicize my own private server. So Please teach me and produce steps.

Sharpienero you are the one that created the video about the server side, right?. That really helps on newbies. I thank you very much for that. However now's the time to know what client side is. rAthena Wiki lacks steps on the Client Side: Where to paste, what to download, what requirements, etc. This is what I want to know.

Your data folder is not correct. You need to collect the files in order to make a GRF.

Yes, the GRF is very important. It's what the server runs off of. Without the GRF, a player will not be able to function in your server correctly. They will error, and if they don't have your clientdata [Which is located inside of your grf] they won't be able to connect. You should use a program like GRF Sharper in order to make a GRF.

In order to connect your client to your server, you will need a clientinfo.xml. You can google that or if you need me to, I will post it.

2. here is the tool in number 6. because grf is to prevent ppl steal / edit your file. example if you use data folder. player just open idnum then edit his main goucher atk+999, def+999 and post in your forum show off haha. but still can be extract out if the player know how to extract grf file out and build back. this only can prevent noob only hehe.

3. to use client side connect. you need edit your clientinfo.xml

for you. if you have set static ip in your local area connection and char and map .conf. you will need to put in address to your lans ip (example 192......)

for you friend/player. if you have set char and map .conf to your land and wan. you will need to put in address to your wan ip (example: no-ip)
