[Tutorial] Create your FlyFF Patcher with BetaPatchClient.

[-Valor]

Hello there,

I saw people asking for this, and it seems that there is no detailed tutorial on e*pvpers.
If I’m missing something, let me know. Also if you have questions, feel free to ask.
I’m not explaining on how to setup a webserver as there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube.

Requirements:
- Visual Studio 2017 (Any other version may work, but I don’t support it)
- Photoshop or any other image editing program. (Paint )
- A Webserver.
- Flyff Client with DSETUP.dll & NeuzD.dll
- Common Sense.

Downloads:
- (I've edited this one to make it easier)
-


1. Download and Configure BetaPatchClient.
After downloading BetaPatchClient. Open the folder and open file:
\PatcherTutorial\PatchClient\BetaPatchClient71.sln with Visual Studio.

If you’ve opened the .sln file, open Configuration.h. Its in the solution folder.


This is where our configuration starts:


I think most of it explains itself, if not please ask in the topic.
Make sure that if you change PATCH_VERSION, you also edit the Titanium -> Config.ini

To edit the name of your patcher change the targetname of your BetaPatchClient:





2. Titanium - (Download above)
Open up Titanium.exe and place all files that you want to patch in the same directory.
Add the files you want to patch to the right of the window, and click Options -> Save + Compress


After you’ve compressed the files, a new folder called NeuroSpace will pop up in your directory.
Copy the files inside the directory RESCLIENT to your Webserver in a folder called RESCLIENT, this has to be 1:1 otherwise your patchclient can’t find the files and an error will popup.



3. Design the Patcher
For designing the patcher, I’m using Photoshop. In the BetaPatchClient we’re using go to \PatcherTutorial\PatchClient\Image and open main_eng_us_15.jpg with your editing program. I’ve placed tutorial.psd in the folder, which you can use to create your own image.



The buttons for the patcher, and the option screen can also be edited. Those are in the same folder as main_eng_us_15.jpg.

------------ EDIT ------------

Some customizations. Thanks to @ for this.



Smooth loading bar:
If you open the BetapatchClient.rc with notepad++ scroll down to the CONTROL Progress1 and Progress2 you can change the 0x0 to 0x1 for a smooth loading bar instead of loading blocks.

Colorful loading bar:
Inside:
BetaPatchClientDlg.cpp

Above:
m_File_Progress.SetPos(0);

Place:

m_Total_Progress.SendMessage(PBM_SETBARCOLOR, 0, (LPARAM)RGB(255, 0, 0)); 
m_File_Progress.SendMessage(PBM_SETBARCOLOR, 0, (LPARAM)RGB(36, 0, 255));

To edit the colors, just change the RGB values on the end of the lines.


-------------------------------

Well done! You’ve made your own patcher, ready to launch.
Include it with your client and upload it to your website for your players to download.

Nice, tutorial to help out those starting out.

I often get asked this so you can add it to your tutorial if you want just in case,
if you open the BetapatchClient.rc with notepad++ scroll down to the CONTROL Progress1 and Progress2 you can change the 0x0 to 0x1 for a smooth loading bar.

I know it doesn't add much in the ways of help but you never know?

Hello, I'm finally there I had to add all the extention to my visual studio and put the file in the repertory 1: 1 following my domain name, however, when start the client patch it will update at first boot but if I modify the files in my directory on the serverweb the patch does not modify them a second time Ex: first patch I modify data.res, data2.res it works well, thereafter I bring a second modification a data.res but patching does not make my change, how can I fix this problem please? (:

Sounds a bit like you did not merge your stuff again, therefore having the exact same data as before in ur .res files negating the need of an update by the patcher.

Just a guess tho

i got an issue tho. after compiling without errors it wont be a .exe only a source browse database. any tips to change this?

Just move it to your desktop and edit it with visual studio 17-19.
