This method embeds the DLL directly into your game executable, so it loads automatically!

Step 1: Download & Extract

1. Download DuckDecorator from the link below
2. Extract all files to a safe location

Step 2: Copy DLL to Game Folder

1. Copy DuckDecorator.dll to your Silkroad game folder (where sro_client.exe is located)

Step 3: Embed with Stud_PE

1. Download and run Stud_PE
2. Open your sro_client.exe in Stud_PE
3. Go to Functions → Add New Import
4. Click "DLL Select"
5. Enter: DuckDecorator.dll
6. Click "Select Func."
7. Select the exported DllMain function from the list

6. Click "Save to Selected Client"

Step 5: Launch and Enjoy!

Method 2: Using a DLL Injector (Easier)

This method injects the DLL when the game is running, ideal if you don't want to modify your executable.

Step 1: Download & Extract

1. Download DuckDecorator from the link below
2. Extract all files to a safe location

Step 2: Copy DLL to Game Folder

1. Copy DuckDecorator.dll to your Silkroad game folder (where sro_client.exe is located)

Step 3: Configure Settings

1. Run DuckDecorator.exe (Configuration Manager)
2. Click "Add Client"
3. Enter a name for your client (e.g., "Main Account")
4. Browse and select your sro_client.exe
5. Configure your desired settings
6. Click "Save to Selected Client"

Step 4: Use an Injector

1. Start your game first
2. Run your preferred DLL Injector (e.g., Extreme Injector, Xenos, or any other)
3. Select sro_client.exe from the process list
4. Select DuckDecorator.dll from your game folder
5. Click Inject
6. Done! The tool will be active immediately

⚠️ Important Notes

🌍 Global Chat Behavior

When coloring Global chat, you may see messages twice - the colored version and the original. This happens because:

• The DLL colors and displays the message immediately
• The server sends a separate global message notification with a different opcode
• This opcode varies between different Silkroad servers
• Both messages appear to ensure you don't miss anything

This is normal behavior and doesn't affect other chat types!

---

⚙️ Multiple Clients & Logging/Webhooks

IMPORTANT: If you run multiple accounts from the same game folder:

• Each running client will execute file logging and Discord webhook actions
• If you have 5 clients running and a condition triggers, the webhook will fire 5 times
• The log file will receive 5 entries

Solution:

• Use separate game folders for each account
• Only enable logging/webhooks on one client
• Or use different webhook URLs per client to track which account triggered

This only affects logging and webhooks. Color customization and player rules work perfectly with multiple clients!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
═══════════════════════════════════

Q: Does it work with all Silkroad servers?
A: DuckDecorator is designed for any V1.188 Silkroad client.

Note: Servers with heavily modified protocols may require adjustments.

Q: Can I use multiple webhooks?
A: Yes! You can configure unlimited webhooks and assign different ones to different rules. Perfect for organizing notifications by type!

Q: Can I export/import my configuration?
A: Absolutely! Just copy the DuckDecorator-Colors.json file from your game folder to another. You can also use "Save to All Clients" in the manager.

Q: How do I update rules while playing?
A: Just edit in the Configuration Manager and save. Changes apply automatically within 500ms - no restart needed!

Q: Is it safe to use?
A: Yes! DuckDecorator is completely safe. It only modifies how chat messages are displayed on your screen - it doesn't modify game packets, give any gameplay advantages, or affect other players. Think of it like changing your UI theme. The tool has been thoroughly tested and works purely client-side for visual customization and personal logging/notifications.

Q: What happens if I use it with a bot?
A: Works perfectly with bots! Just remember the multi-client warning about logging/webhooks if running multiple instances from the same folder.

Q: What's the difference between Method 1 and Method 2?
A: Method 1 (Embedding) permanently integrates the DLL into your executable for automatic loading. Method 2 (Injector) requires manual injection each time but doesn't modify your exe. Choose what works best for you!

This is seriously impressive work! the level of detail, customization, and automation you’ve built is next level. Guess it’s true what they say... when it comes to SRO hacks, this duck doesn’t just quack the code… it cracks it
