Problem with clients

[JulianA00]

Hello all,

This is my first thread in rAthena forums, it's around 5 years since the last time I used eAthena and diffing tools(XRay back then). Now, I don't know if things got a little bit harder or if I'm just rusty as hell, but I read all wiki/support articles/threads and still was not able to make a working hexed, so I'd like to ask you all for a little guidance,

I've downloaded the latest rAthena version(has 20120410 packetver in mmo.h) and a downloaded a couple of RagREs to diff using Shin's Diff Patcher and I got the following status:

- Using 2012-04-10(All of the 3 different hexed) from: http://rathena.org/b...d-client-setup/

After diffing, the client keeps opening the Setup.exe in an infinite loop.

- Using 2011-04-27a diffed only with recommended options:

Get the message - [string "buf"]:10: attempt to call global "Iter_getTable" (a nil value).

The client starts, I can register an account, but when I create and char I get a "Disconnected from Server" message, and in charserv-sql console I get:

[Error]: parse_char: Received unknown packed 0x67 from ip 127.0.0.1! Disconnected from Server. (Might be because I didn't compile it yet, but the iter_getTabel message still annoys me).

- Using 2011-09-06a diffed only with recommended options:

Loads forever without opening the client.

I will try to compile the src for 20110427 to check, but I really wanted to understand the problems with 2012-04-10, and would be really glad if you guys could help me out in here.

Since now, thanks a lot for the attention.

Best Regards,

Enrico

Try compiling your server with the PACKETVER as 20110427

The login error it's caused by a misconfigured PACKETVER (usually)

I really suggest that you use that client with 2011-04-27 date

I got a lot of trouble trying to use the new clients.

Good luck!

[JulianA00]

I'll try it and will reply any news...about the ite_getTable error message, do you have any clues?

Thanks for the fast response.

[Miles]

I don't exactly know.

I think the error it's caused because of the Lua Files.

You might try to get the Luas up to the date of your client (not to updated, not to downgraded).

Try getting a clean data, and adding a same dated Luas.

@Miles

Compiling made it connect. But there are still a couple of errors.

- The Iter_getTable error message is still around;

- The skill tree is in korean(or in some strange language);

- All chat options are Off. In case I turn any feature ON - like Public Dialog Chat - and type some text, I get a Gravity Error.

So far these were the errors I've found, Do you know if all of them could be lua/lub files?

Thanks once again

[Miles]

If i'm not mistaken, The First and the last errors are because of the lua files.

The Second one i think you need a Translated Data.

Everything it's fixed with a good data. Try finding any data, and just find the correct Lua Files and add them to the data.

Good Luck!

[JulianA00]

Miles,

Regarding the first and third errors, I've just unchecked the "Read Data Folder First" and "Read Lub before Lua"(or something like that) from Diff Patcher.

Now all that remains is a couple of Resource Errors(not hard at all to solve) and these skill tree-in-korean thing, which I will pay a little more attention, since I'm already using data v3 folder(it's said that v3 should be for 2012+ clients, but I couldn't download an older version).

In both my data folder and GRF, I have the correct skillnametable and skilldesctable files, so I'll just double check everything.

Thanks a lot for the help and patience.

[Winz]

didyou set the data grf reading correctly?

I mean:

Data.ini:

[DATA]

0=yourgrf.grf

1=rdata.grf

2=data.grf

?

Also, did you see any "luafiles514" folder there? where is it? it should be right on \data\

[JulianA00]

Yes, my data.ini is correct. Regarding my luafiles514, I removed them from data and now I'm only using a GRF, but it's there. Even when it was in the data folder, the error was the same.

I've also checked the lua files/skillinfo/skilldescript.lua before compiling into .lub and it was translated. I don't really understand it anymore, the "skilldesctable2.txt" file became totally obsolete?

But sticking on the problem, it's still there. (:

[Winz]

skillinfoz folder? but I would suggest you to download a fresh translated lua flies..

[JulianA00]

Already did, same error (:

One thing I can't forget is, why in hell can't I use 2012-04-10 client? Everyone seems to be using it and even the SVN mmo.h already has it's PACKETVER set for this client. I think(just think) that this problem might be a compliance problem between an older client and newer lua files(since I have 2012-04-10 files) and data folder.

Going back just for a while in the problem, have you ever experienced a client you just diffed entering in an infinite loop through Setup.exe and never opening the client itself?

Thanks

[Winz]

hmm, I used a 2012-04-10 client and it works well. as well as 2012-04-18.

But now, I am using 2011-03-15..

Infinite loop through setup.exe?

Kill the ro client from the task manager and run the setup.exe or opensetup.txt as an administrator.

Before that, make sure that the System and SaveData folder are writtable (right click, untick the "read-only")

[JulianA00]

Still didn't work...BUT..I read the Judas PDF and was able to diff a fully working 2010-06-16 client with all skills working as well(using mainj.grf file from Judas as well).

I'm heading off to work now, but when I get home at night I'll see how he organized his files in this GRF and try to make it in the way I want.

I hope this version is stable despite being old.

Thanks a lot for your help Winz.

[Winz]

Glad to help you. If you want, you can send your GRF to me. through this thread or PM is fine.

[JulianA00]

Thank you winz, I really appreciate your help. I'll send you the files as soon as I get home.
