unknown byte 0x970 - 20120410RagexRE - rAthena 17179 - kRO 20121001

[JiKeidan]

My apologies ahead of time for the longevity of this post.  I have been reading, religiously, the many posts on your wonderful eAthena and rAthena servers, trying to learn this server/client software and relationship over the last 2 days... nonstop.  Computer goes out for a smoke break with me.  I have since quit smoking =) "Hooray me!"
 
That being said... this is going to be thorough, as I have seen this issue quite a few times, with limited explanation and just a few details seeming to be amiss on my setup.
 
As an overview:

rAthena 17179 on a GNU/Linux Debian 6.0.6 server.

PACKETVER=20120410 as per the ./configure --enable-packetver=20120410 (handy)

Looks good, a nice Athena!

2012-04-10aRagexRE.exe - diffed using Shin's Diff.

 

The elustreous Alexandria's Data pack:

http://rathena.org/board/topic/66962-basic-complete-renewal-data-english-folder/

 

Magicaltux's GRF builder:

http://rathena.org/board/topic/53305-grf-builder/

 

And finally, the basic kRO packages (data.grf, rdata.grf, dll's, and patchers) from:

http://ratemyserver.net/index.php?page=download_kROLinks

 

PROBLEM however, is...

[Status]: Request for connection (passwdenc mode) of JiKeidan (ip: 74.128.170.35).
[Notice]: Authentication accepted (account: JiKeidan, id: 2000000, ip: 74.128.170.35)

[Info]: Loading Char Data (2000000)
[Error]: parse_char: Received unknown packet 0x970 from ip '74.128.170.35'! Disconnecting!

 

I have found that with my current version of rAthena, I shouldn't need to add a new mmo.h block and recompile... that fix seemed to be around the 15xxx era.
 

Given the outline, my method was:

Download ALL files mentioned

Create new folder: Ragnarok Online

Copy kRO dll's to folder

Make MYgrf.grf using Alexandria's data folder

Copy Alexandria's Data pack (data and all other linear folders) to Ragnarok Online folder (overwriting and merging)

Create DATA.INI using:

 

[data]
0=mygrf.grf
1=rdata.grf
2=data.grf

Create MyRagexRE.exe using Shin's "Differ" =P

Copy MyRagexRE.exe to Ragnarok Online folder

Copy MYgrf.grf to Ragnarok Online folder

 

When I load MyRagexRE.exe I get a login window asking for username and pass.

Having manually pushed an SQL entry into "login" db, it allows for 1 username, mine...

and a humble little password... **** and I log in.

I then go to create a new character, little guy pops up... I give him a nickname, choose a nifty hair dew and add some hue.....

Clicking OK hoping to be taken to my character stat negotiations, I am instead disconnected... the server displaying the error above.

 

I again apologize for the longevity of this post - but I can not figure out where I have gone wrong.  I'm pretty sure I just created a tutorial on how to set yourself up a client (leaving out the clientinfo.xml (to which i have used version 26? in accordance with Alexandria's default))

 

Any help is appreciated.

Ok, after having whiped the server, and re-installing it via SVN... now at r17185 I am able to create a character...

However, when I attempt to select the character and move into the map server, I'm disconnected:

EDIT******

 

I have discovered my client version to be 30, rebuilding the grf and updating clientinfo.xml as necessary.

I've also set athena_login.conf to check for versions, and specified version 30...

as well in packet_db I have checked to make sure my client (again 20120410) is listed, as it is... under version 30... hopefully i'll have some decent results...

And to no avail... So now I know my client is version 30.

I know the server is checking for clients...

I know the server is specifying version 30.

I know the packet_db in fact HAS version 30 listed as 20120410...

And I know that i'm being kicked off due to

 

 

[Info]: clif_parse: Disconnecting session #7 with unknown packet version (p:0x464d,l:19).

 

Any one *elses* input is appreciated
 

As well I'd like to add that I've done enough research to realize that the problem falls on skipping packet header obfuscation... makes sense.

 

I have tried diffing the client with Shin's differ, using Earthlingz's WDGSkipPacketHeaderObfuscation.dll ...

No change.  The option to "Skip packet header obfuscation" does not exist with or without that dll...

 

It does work with < 2012 exe's, however, I'd really much rather use 2012-04-10, as I've heard it's far more stable and allows for far greater customization of the game (once it's going )

Did you ever get this fixed man? I have been devouring this forum for answers and cannot for the life of me find a solution. I have read all of your posts regarding the matter and followed your trail, confirming where the error comes from and why it happens, however I can't find a fix for it.

[JiKeidan]

I did, actually... sorry man i should have posted...

 

I don't know WHY my version of weediffgen Doesn't seem to work... but apparently it's the one on http://www.supportmii.com/ro1/Clients/ that is supposed to work... Earthlingz had released (if you've followed my trail) a .dll for the WDGSkipPacketHeaderObfuscation.dll in the plugins folder... but not every release of that was actually viable.  I never did come across one that was... And if I have to rediff my exe then i'm kinda screwed... but you have to find one that was released by ae4rie ???  and put it in the plugins folder, overwriting the previous one...

 

For whatever reason the 2012-04-10 clients seem to be hit or miss... of course there's a REASON for it... but i don't know what it is.

 

I'll do some messaging around and see if I can't find/get ahold of a viable copy of the necessary programs, as I'm going to need them to rebuild my clients a bit

Obfuscation (in software development) is the act of deliberately writing hard to follow code.

The 0x970 byte is something that was put in the client as a failsafe.  By "skipping packet header obfuscation", you are thereby forcing the client not to write those similar bytes into the packet headers coming through the network socket, and that's where the problem lies.  If you have gotten everything working and this is your only issue, then when you do get it corrected, you should have a working client. 

 

But i recommend you just give up and come join my project

[JiKeidan]

did some more digging real quick...

 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/atwl/files/WeeDiffGen/

 

contains a DLL you might try.  let me know

[RifuI]

Hey I found the fix for it. I hadn't included the packet_db for ver 29, but I had ver 30. Must of been because I started with a revision that didn't include it to begin with. After this painstaking quest to find out how to get 2012-04-10aRagexeRE I feel that I should write a complete checklist/guide since the steps involved really are a bit of a treasure hunt. Information is spread far too thin over these forums and too many people tirelessly point people to the search button when that information isn't there anymore due to outdated links.

 

If anyone does require additional help with this, I will gladly help.

 

EDIT: You need these two files to properly diff your client for 2012-04-10aRagexeRE

- http://supportmii.com/ro1/Clients/Weediff2012Pack_v5.7.7z

- http://aarnet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/atwl/WeeDiffGen/WDGSkipPacketHeaderObfuscation.dll

 

After downloading both files, replace the WDGSkipPacketHeaderObfuscation.dll that comes with Weediff2012Pack_v5.7.7z with the one you downloaded individually.

Well if you've recently installed rAthena, that should be a deprecated fix - from what I understand.  As you said though ....

 

... Information is spread far too thin over these forums and too many people tirelessly point people to the search button when that information isn't there anymore due to outdated links. ...

 

and I myself and rather hazy on the solutions =P

What project would that be? I am actually interested in teaming up with someone as long as they share similar ideas. Hit me up in PM mate, would love to chat.

Also you might want to check up on the definition of 'deprecated', your sentence sounds a bit odd hehe.

[JiKeidan]

lol tru nuf

[JiKeidan]

For those of you reading this right now, I'm having to rebuild a client exe for the game, as I am updating all my data files to the newer kRO release as of 04-12-2013 from the ratemyserver.com website.  So I am actually giving Riful's fix from a couple posts up a try myself, now... and I'll let you know how it works

 

            *                 *                  *                                 *                    *                   *

 

And it does work, quite nicely.  But to further detail...

 

His first link doesn't work directly... so go to http://supportmii.com/ro1/Clients/ and select the WeeDiff link...

then go to his second link http://sourceforge.net/projects/atwl/files/ and use the April, of 2013 link and download the WDGPacketHeaderObfuscation.R2.dll... then when you unzip the original weediff you download via the first link, you'll notice 2 packetheader .dll files in the plugins... packetheader*.dll and packetheader*.R2... leave the first one, write over the R2 with the one you downloaded individually, and that should do ya.  Works on the 04-2012 Ragexe.exe.

 

Hope it helps!
