Hmm.... that data.ini line-break issue was unexpected. It's somewhat surprising it works on my Win7 laptop.

Anyway, I've added the dlls to the installer, so I can try a "fresh" mouRO install which only needs the data.grf from the RO installation... and it crashes when it's time to show the character select screen

At least this means I have something to work on now to try to fix this :S

PS: Took me a while since I wanted to update the RO install in my laptop, too :S

Nope.... it works correctly here. I just had a lame bug with a missing skin/ directory :/

In any case, I updated the installer to again include the "dll" option. If you install that and then copy the data.grf and "skin/" directory of a normal RO installation, it SHOULD work. If it doesn't, then I blame Windows. Though it might be some different dll missing somewhere (which is different from the ones in the machines I tested in).

The two machines I used to test were : Linux (through wine), and a Windows 7 - 64bit edition.

Another thing to try is to run the setup (opensetup) once. Maybe the client is crashing because of the default video/sound settings?  However, opensetup is not perfect, it will not be read by the client if you launch it before the client is (because it works correctly when it's used by the client to save settings, and afterwards it works correctly if the options file already exists: hence, it only fails if you try to use it before everything else).

In any case, if you want to try with the opensetup and different settings, afterwards open the (text) file "OptionInfo.lua" in the "savedata/" directory, and make sure the first two lines are these:

CmdOnOffList = {}
OptionInfoList = {}

That will fix the file to be readable by the client.

If this still fails, I will look into hexing different versions of the client (with the minimum settings) to see if we can find something that works well for everybody, and then I will work on updating the server to support that version.

keeps closing instantly even after doing all those changes x.x this server is so hardcore even to log in is a challenge (specially to patience)

[ damn skot, you are the admin [or something] of this place, you should try harder to subtract one don't you think? lol ]
[ should we install the newer client too? ]
[ . . . . by the way, the client keeps opening every now and them. It's getting annoying ]

Since Lothar mentioned that a newer version worked just fine, I will  hex a few basic clients and you guys will have to tell me which one works.

One moment while I get them hexed.

Well, I just downloaded the lastest client you released and shit happened, so I'm migrating to the older one, by older one I mean the 4-12-2013.
Also the Korean letters are fucking annoying, so that's another reason.

Which latest client, Lothar? The test one? Of course it looks crappy, it isn't meant to be usable to play, only to test if it could launch for people who couldn't start the official client!

This test client has the absolute barebones required to be launched and get on MouRO. It guarantees nothing regarding how well translated or pretty things look.

Anyway, I released a bunch of them in the same .rar, so I need people (specially those who can't get the client to work) to tell me if any of those versions work. They all work on my machine, but I know that doesn't mean much :/

99 318.

Oh shit, I deleted my RO folder in vain!
Well, I'm downloading the 4-12-2013 now anyway, but this download will end like... this night, so only tomorrow I'll be able to test the new clients.

[ you probably should start waiting a little more before deleting your stuff lol ]
[ exactly how many were able to get in the game afterall? ]
[ seems like at least 4 [lothar, me, kanpai and the guy who helped with the bugs] or 5 [skot included] ]

[ 316 ]

Since here is the chatting room:

Skot, get better man! And good luck on the exams!  

99 315

314 more to go!

...

What's that about me forgetting 99,000?

[ Come on, at this speed I'm going to be dead when this reaches 100 000 posts. ]
[ what does even happen after reaching the 100 000 posts . . . . ? We just, uh, change it back to [?] 1 Million posts and continue the count? ]

[ GL HF on your exams skot i/ ]
[ well, maybe not "have fun", but anyway ]

[ 313 ]

If we reach 100 000 posts, Skotlex applies the 3rds.

E: and 99710

I've actually done the math back when I first joined. This can now be considered a very optimistic estimation.

Exactly. We normally get 1 or 2 anymore. So, unless the forums become more active... See you in year 2133.

Yea, it is sort of active. Not as active as in January/February, but oh well.

i cannot find any way to make my mouro starts, its so fustating t.t, i've tried lots of things: googling my problem, executing the client via cmd(which was a disaster btw) all the files.exe running as administrator, resintalled and used files of different dates... i don't know what else to do =/

T_T; eek

Can you get other clients to work, though, serveriskill? It seems many others can get RO working currently. Can you get a more recent client working, anything from March 2013 or afterwards should suffice.

I am starting to think the problem is more related to RO and your machine somehow, but it appears no matter what I do, what works for me won't work on your side. Perhaps you can use another recommended hexed client, and see if that launches correctly?

The only real requirements for the hexed client is to read the data.ini (grf order) and have shared palettes type 2 support.

i've tried all again, downloaded Ragnarok Online 04-12-2013 kRO Client Folder then instaled mouro files, and now i get the login window but without the extra window as explained by lothar in this thread: https://mouro.forumotion.com/t74-test-client-for-people-whose-clients-are-crashing

anything that help me figure this out will be more than welcome skot, send dem files!

Have you tried http://mou-ro.wikia.com/wiki/Installation_Guide?

300.

actually i did exactly as you described it in the guide, thank you anyway :X

I'll pack up my working client without the data.grf and upload it somewhere, one moment.

Can you explain exactly how far you get, serveriskill?

The "extra" window happens when the client is hexed to not skip the license agreement on startup. MouRO's standard client is hexed to skip that. The login process is just: launcher is up, enter user/pass, then the client opens up, and shows "server select" from which only MouRO is available.

I thought your problem was that the client wouldn't even open, meaning that you wouldn't be able to see the client and the background, just... get to the login window from the launcher, and then have a client hung, or quit immediately.

If that is the problem, have you tried getting another hexed client from rAthena? And see if you can actually launch any other client from 2013? I can always make the client support another client if that's what you can get working.
