Packing up the client.

[Farmer John]

Any tutorials available for packing up a client? and yes, I've used the search button, cant seem to find anything that is useful, I've also tried breaking down the client and just uploading it as patches to let it create the data.pak but that's far to time consuming and more of a chance to make a mistake with so many files. I've also use the translated pak tool and it creates the data.pak and hd file but as soon as I start up the game screen goes black and game crashes, so if anyone has any idea or any available tutorial I would greatly appreciate it.

Look for the PackManager with the mario icon that was made by Merovingian.

lol, I forgot to mention that I've also tried that as well, no clue to what Im doing wrong, my client runs perfectly, worked on it long enough that's for sure, has to be something stupid I'm over looking is my best guess.


**EDIT*** For anyone else who had this issue, pack up your client with the translated pack tool, then use merovigians data unpacker (mario) to pack up all your changes or w/e seems to work for now. Will post the other info's as I get it done.


***EDIT*** the update are being written to my newly created data.pak and are taking effect, however, the data.pak seems to be dependant on the csv folders that I used to make the data.pak (check screen shot)

or u could just take an old dekaron data.pak, or another servers data.pk, and then use the launcher to pack ur files into it, much easier then using 15 different programs to do it . . . .

yeah, im aware, however there are no new files, basically same file layout as before, but with more modifications, didnt add any actual new files. I've been working at this for a few hours now, I think I've figured it out finally, the structure that the packer packs them in and the file structure that Im using isnt compatible, so after dropping in a few files into the folders where they should be, then it should eliminate the problem of the data.pak dependency with the csv's.

omg, are u a girl? lol, ur making it more difficult then it should be i swear, all u have to do is grab a data.pack from somewhere else, then use a launcher to pack ur files into it, BAM, that simple, no file structuring is required, just simply

data.pak + ur files = ur data.pak

its really just that simple . . .

lol, read a few posts up, I've already done that, and I've already fixed it, just didnt update the post. and yeah, given some of the garbage that's released to the community here I can see why you think file structure isn't important.

[Decima]

apparently u can put ur own files in, and create the 'structure' however u want to, and thats really a matter of opinion, whats a structured system to you, may not be to someone else
