EP6/5.5 client help

11/23/2012 07:07 diehard6#1
Hello everyone :)
Happy Thanksgiving!

After stuffing my face with shit tons of food and trying to gain some weight (per my doctors order -.-) I find myself sitting down and becoming frustrated again. I have a really annoying problem I could use some help with.

After the very recent update, my duct tape fix for my client problem was no longer adequate. I was using the OS Shaiya client with the decrypted game.exe which I edited in HeX to change the IP.

With the update came a patch. With the patch came an updated game.exe
This game.exe is encrypted and has the OS Shaiya IP. Whenever I replace it with my game.exe, the updater just runs again and replaces my game.exe with the new encrypted game.exe

I THINK the solution would be a decrypted ep6 game.exe that doesn't depend on an updater, right? So what I tried to do was use the Shaiya Patcher v1.1 to remove the updater, however, it doesn't work. It just uses the updater anyways.

Can anyone help? Preez?

Go to your Shaiya Folder , rightclick game.exe > Send To > Desktop.
Go to Desktop, RightClick on that game.exe > Properties > simple add
in Target-Line: start game

example:

Target-Line: C:/AeriaGames/Shaiya/game.exe start game

save it.
Attention: No "space"-letters in Folders etc. it won't work.
example wrong:"C:/Aeria Games/Shaiya/game.exe" start game
example right: C:/AeriaGames/Shaiya/game.exe start game

You are amazing! Thank you so much!!!

Another problem:

simple search for the offsets in your Hex-Editor. (Offsets are different than normal String search)
(Most time its: Find > Go To > Offset) Copy and paste from JohnHeatz' Tutorial.

Your current-Level is? 70 ? = HexDec: 46
Decimal = 80 to HexDec= 50

So if your current level is 70, change Value: 46 on ALL the offsets to: 50, done.

Just remove 81-90 ^_^ and change your EP Values.

1 = Easy
2 = normal
3 = Hard
4 = UM

I'm having another problem with 80 cap
Whenever I log on, I have 3million HP and then I get logged out with a 50003 error after about 20 seconds.

This is why no-one should be trying to do Ep6.. cuz it's just never going to work properly.

Did you "fix" the statusdefs table aswell as your expdefs? You need to add the hp/mp/sp up to level 80 or whatever you're doing to account for the higher level characters. I don't think the latest "full ep6" release has any of those DB side "ep6" things done so you'll have to do them all yourself.

Thanks for your reply :)
What would be the proper amounts in the StatusDefs for 60-80?
11/23/2012 20:14 Truth1010#10
I don't believe their are any "proper" amounts decided yet. I would suggest taking a look at the base hp/mp/sp from Official EP6 to reach level 70 in the statusdefs. Then make up/follow a pattern to reach 80. Shouldn't be too hard to do really. Or you could always just put some crappy randomly thought up numbers in like "some" servers do, to claim they have "working ep6" etc etc.

Well just for shits and giggles I went ahead and installed an ep5 server to see if I could use the ps_game successfully with that because even after adding the exp and status defs for the ep6, I had the same problem.

And I'm having the same problem on the ep5 files. 3million HP and I get booted every time I try and attack something.

Is this an error with the ps_game that I am using? Or with my stats/exp defs? Or what?
11/23/2012 21:06 Truth1010#12
Sounds like an error with your client, not server install.
You're probably trying to use EP6 client files with an Ep5 Server/Database.
That would explain the dc while trying to attack/target anything.
And possible the HP.

I don't bother with ep6, cuz it doesn't work, and wont work any time soon or in the near future.
Try install a ep5 server, and use an ep5 client and see if you get the same errors. There is plenty of full releases here with all the files you'll need.

I have found ep5 server files. But not a working ep5 client matched with a server. I also haven't found a set of ep5 server files with new maps, mobs, gears, and level 80. If you can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Not that it would be for the first time, but I can point you in the right direction.
  • MAPS
    • PSM_Client\Bin\Data\Map\.svmap = functionality
    • data.saf\world\.wld = visual
  • MOBS
    • data.saf\Monster\Monster.SData
    • DATABASE\PS_GameDefs\Mobs
  • ITEMS
    • data.saf\Item\Item.SData
    • DATABASE\PS_GameDefs\Items
  • Level cap is stored in the ps_game.exe, you can download some from [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] and use whichever you need. John Heatz explained in [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] how to do it, and it's quite easy to do it yourself using a hex editor.

Yea everything up there as Nubness says. We don't give you everything custom made especially for you / your server here, but it's pretty damn close. You just have to put in a little of your own work to make things exactly how you like.
