Thor patcher keeps on getting a .thor file even if it has already patched it

[souldestroyer1030]

Hello, I have another problem. Just when I have already fixed that GRF writing problem a while ago, I just encountered something else just now.

 

The first .thor file that I patched a while ago contained only clientinfo.xml, while the second one that I tried to add just now contains item-related txt files. The problem is, the patcher keeps on patching this latest .thor file even if it has already been patched to my server GRF.

 

Does anyone know why this is happening?

 

Thank you.

are you delete server.dat ?

 

don't remove that...or check it...i think thor never read a patch again since already have latest server.dat

[Patskie]

Yes all patch data are stored in a ".dat file" so if u remove it then the patcher will repatch agian

[Yoona]

make sure to check all the required settings or check again the guides maybe you config it by mistake

[souldestroyer1030]

Everything's fine. I configured it properly, as well as the main.ini file. It went well with the first patch, so why not with the second? I didn't delete my .dat file by the way. It really just keeps patching even if the .dat file is already updated.

 

Any ideas? Thanks.

 

UPDATE:
 

Hello, I tried to examine my .dat file and it seems that the patcher is not updating the latest patch_id that was patched. The patch_id stays at 1 only. Am I doing something wrong?

 

By the way, I named my .dat file the same as my patcher, only with lowercase characters (e.g. MyServer.exe and myserver.dat). Is there something wrong with that? Should I name it into something else?

And here's my plist... I should already be done with the last patch, but it keeps on starting from the top...

 

100 2013-06-09data_gm.thor
101 2013-06-09data_items.thor
102 2013-06-11data_client.thor
103 2013-06-11system_client.thor
104 2013-06-11data_client2.thor
105 2013-06-11patcher_update.thor

 

Previously, my .dat file was named "myserverro.dat" but I just changed it to "myserver.dat" (myserver = name of my server) to see if it'll help... seems not.

Also, my plist file was previously numbered from 1-5, but I changed it to that numbering to see if it'll also help... no luck too.

Help please? I've done everything I can, and even reconfigured it countless times already... I still can't solve the problem. Thanks...

Your latest patch (2013-06-11patcher_update.thor) -- is that an update to your Thor Patcher?

When you used Thor Generator, did you select Input = Patcher & Game EXE ?

Nope, that's not a patcher update. It's supposed to be a patch that will delete the old .dat file since I've renamed the .dat file already. Apparently though, it also can't delete root files, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Take note though, it's the OLD .dat file, so it should not concern Thor patcher completing its patching process. And besides, I commented that line already since it doesn't work. (in my updated plist.txt)

 

I really believe that I've set up everything well and everything should be going smoothly by now, but it isn't just because of this weird problem. I've followed everything the instructions said already and I've gone through lots of forum discussions already regarding Thor patcher, and I still can't figure this out...

 

Thanks for your reply though. Hopefully I can have this solved eventually...

 

I'm using Thor Patcher 2.2 by the way, if it has something to do with that... (it still was like this though when I used 2.5)
