I'm new here but have been a Rappelz player for a long while.
I have been using Fear's 9.4 and 9.5.2 Guides to create a local server.
During this week of diving into files, writing scripts, and reading over 500 pages from the help thread. I wanted to make my own contribution.
Here are some things I've learned/made for my own server.
(Also special thanks to ThunderNikk and Fear as they had most of the answers I needed when I got stuck.)

========================================
Issues Encountered and Fixes:
1. Game is Arabic/Censored
-The Client provided by Fear is a Tweaked Arabic Client that appears English. It is not actually English.
*Download Clean English Client from the Useful Links Collections Thread credited to ThunderNikk.
2. Game Text appears large/Screen Flashes/Error on Launch "Render"
-2008 Game. It is not optimized for HDR,4K, or a zoomed display.
*Use Rappelz v1.opt in main folder where launcher resides. Edit this to be either 2560x1440 or 1920x1080. Then go to your windows display settings, confirm your "scale" is at 100%.
3. Issues Launching with Bat. and using English Client
-You may not have changed the ports or the serial number in gameserv.opt
*Check Gamserver.opt & Make sure Launcher.bat looks like this;
RappelzCmdLauncher.exe sframe.exe /auth_ip:127.0.0.1 /auth_port:9881 /use_nprotect:0 /help_url_w:611 /help_url_h:625 /locale:ASCII /country:CN /cash /commercial_shop /layout_dir:6 /layout_auto:0 /cash_url_w:800 /cash_url_h:631/allow_double_exec:1
Thanks, to all the hard-working Rappelz modders out there.
I hope this helps someone like me.
(may add to this if I find more useful tricks.)
