eAthena to rAthena?

[Kami675]

Hello my friend owns a server and is using eAthena but wants to switch to rAthena is there a way to do this? I heard I need to go to my update files and execute the updates but does this switch it to rAthena? wouldn't this just update the eAthena files to a later eAthena? Also, would this cause any loss of data? The reason he's changing is because he's using a 2010 client and he wants larger headgear views to add more custom items so he wants to use the 2012-04-10a client for the 30k headgear views.

 

p.s. If you can, please post a step by step guide on how to update. Idk how to execute the sql files within the sql folder  to help him.

 

thanks in advance

If you're using tortoiseSVN for eathena, first create a patch file that contains all of your custom changes.

 

Then, download rathena.  Open the patch and you have to manually reapply all of the changes.  There is no eathena -> rathena conversion that I know of.  It has to be done manually.
