Best Patcher for my Situation

[Vach]

Hello everyone! After getting back into RO 'Servering' and starting my ambitious project, I am at the point where I need to set up a patcher.

I already have a webserver with proper access, but before I got started I wanted to ask which one of the following patchers would work better for my situation: KPatcher or Neon Cube.

I'm going to need to be able to patch files that are not in my personal data.grf, simply because I am going to be making many progressive updates over the past few months and I don't want to repack every single time, plus there are some customizations that go in the root folder I may need to update. So, that being said, I can't use Thor Patcher because I heard that it does not allow non-grf patches.

I also want to prevent people from accessing the official patch (unless they decide to run that patcher themselves) and I wanted a visible text with what was updated. I'd also like to prevent access to a configuration file that shows where the file server is, if possible.

Soooo... that said... opinion time!

I would prefer Thor, because its easy to configure and Thor have a different way of merging your patch file to your grf, unlike neon cube, you have to wait for it to merge all files, that is just my opinion its still up to you

I use Thor, it can make patches for all the RO folder

[Vach]

I thought Thor had to make grf's? It can patch non-grf files?

[Relzz]

Thor uses .thor files, like GPF,s but different

[Vach]

But can that patch things in the root folder, and the System folder, and create files in the data folder without actually making them a grf?

[Relzz]

As i sad.. ALL the RO folder.. The only thing that you may NOT do is put files with diferent encoding bcuz somethimes thor patcher piles the unicode folders and the ansii too

[Heero Yuy]

Yes, it do have the capability to send patches/files to both root folder/kRO folder and to your custom grf (or even to official data.grf).

For more info about Thor Patcher, you can read this: http://rathena.org/wiki/Thor_Patcher

Yea, I've taken a look at the Wiki. I was just concerned because the page made it seem like I couldn't patch root files.

I will add it into my consideration. Thanks for your support.
