Setting up a local test server, a few questions.

[VanFanel1980mx]

Greetings people, after a long time of not playing or scripting I decided to retake an old project for a potential server in the future, the main question I have right now is how do I make sure I am using all pre-renewal stuff on my server? I can make use of renewal maps to fill in some gaps but I have seen a few servers with issues because all cards and items are using their renewal scripts and the like, do I download a specific data folder or all is manually fixed?

Or is it safer to just use eAthena instead?

Thanks.

this topic can help you http://rathena.org/wiki/SRC/config/

if you are looking for clean data folder pre-re/re based this may solve your problem as far as i know this is the latest one

/src/config/renewal.h
This configuration files provides Ragnarok Renewal settings for you to further customize your server

you just need to make rathena a pre-re based then the renewal client side files are inside rdata.grf already which you can get by downloading miruku or

rAthena SVN comes with both Pre-Renewal and Renewal but Renewal is activated by default and to switch to Pre-Renewal it is a simple edit within the Src. files

Once setup for Pre-Renewal you may then add any content you believe to be missing such as maps etc through the standard methods of customization. In my

opinion rAthena is a much better emulator even if just because of the strength of the community alone is greater.

Changing to Pre-Renewal is as simple as commenting out functions

@Path-: [ SVN > src > config > renewal.header ]

Example of commenting out all functions -

#define RENEWAL
//#define RENEWAL

Please note this is an example of only one function that has been commented out.

use "//" to comment out any unwanted functionality minus the quotes = //

Thanks, right now I am having a few problems, apparently I don't have any idea of where or which executable I need to make this run, when I used eAthena I recall needing a patched exe but now is kind of confusing.

Checking, I tried patching a client and I got an error, I am missing something for sure.

FiXED: the latest pre-patched client works just fine, now I can set up the databases, so, by commenting out the #define options in a pre-compiled version is enough to set it up to pre-renewal or I need to re-compile?

if you make any edits in src you must recompile to make the changes effective.

Thanks, recompiling shouldn't be an issue with the guide on the wiki I guess.

you are all set then!
