as seen from the 1st video, it's possible to get these stuff to work on pservers, altho that's probably not RCX (the latter) and perhaps a modified version of it.

in case no one knows what i'm talking about, it's those colored cells on the ground that replaces aoe effects

[Azma]

Just a guess, but: Maybe they modified the effects in the client so coloured cells replace the effects instead of, as we could think they'd do, make the effects replaced by the coloured cells only when /effect is active.

[fluidin]

i did think of that, but still, does anyone know how to do that?

isit difficult to do so? has anyone here had the experience of using it/making it?

[Gankz]

Well I use it on iRO, and I've used it on VisionRO back before they put their client protection on. I always have it running but it refuses to attach to any other private server I've played. It was meant to be used with Aegis, not eA =/

[fluidin]

yeah but i doubt the TFE one is RCX. for one it doesnt have the flashing tiles and gutterlines. wonder how they did it.

it's not like i can ask them either, it seems they aren't an english community

[Schtauffen]

Actually RCX does work on Pservers, the only problem is that you cannot access the control panel for some weird reasons, so you gotta pre-activate the features in the .ini file before running it.

[Tachibana]

I don't know how much this would help, but I've looked around our (Vision) forums, looking at the older client support topics when we had RCX enabled and this showed up. Like I said, it may or may not help you but it's worth a shot

mind giving me a fast walkthrough?

i know i have to set M2E to 1 in the .ini,

and change the .exe to my server's, but what about the rest? and how do i start RCX? is it double clicking the GPS thing? how do i setup the GPS connection?


i would really appreciate it if someone gave me a brief step-by-step guide

[Wikebine]

I think you need to get the IP of the Charserver for the server you play, and add that to the bottom of the RCX. Also, try renaming the server's client to Ragnarok.exe, it wouldnt work for me when i changed the .exe in the .ini. and dont forget to add in the server's path. Once you do all that, start RCX, right click on the GPS window and do Launch Ragnarok. Once you do that, wait for it to initialize and you should be good to go. So far, the only bugs ive found are no ingame CP, so you have to set things up in the .ini first, and that SG only shows 1 cell. havent tested much else

[Tom~]

^ Thanks Wike! Tested on 2 servers, worked on both. Had the same bugs you mentioned; I cannot access the ingame CP, and SG shows only 1 cell. All the other features work just fine. It shows the exp you get from mobs, the monster's HP, your buffs, etc.

[Gankz]

Not sure about the cp thing, but the reason SG and such only shows 1 cell is because AoEs in eA are handled differently than on Aegis. In eA, SG is like a splash from the middle cell where as on Aegis it's all the cells.

[fluidin]

mmmm

weird.

i did all that and when i right click to launch, it launches. but the problem is that nothing works. no cell thingies, no exp, no HP, buff timers etc. and on the GPS window it still shows "GPS - Disconnect"

wonder whats the problem. i tried both build 44 and 48.

tried changing between my grfs too, but i dont think thats the problem.

[Tom~]

Does your server have any sort of client protection?
Also, do not touch the GPS thing. I did that, and RCX failed to load until I re-installed it. Just do what Wike said, and try again. Pretty much everything you have to do is:
1. Extract RCX on a folder (not the RO one).
2. Copy and paste the english translation files.
3. Open RCX and edit the RO folder's direction, M2E, add the char server's IP at the end (and the server's name too). Save it and close it.
4. Rename your server's .exe; didn't work for me when it wasn't called Ragnarok.exe (do note that you won't be able to open your server by using the patcher, since the .exe's name was changed. I'd recommend making a copy of the exe and renaming the copy).
5. Open RCX, right click on the GPS box and choose "Launch Ragnarok".

After doing all that, you should see a loading bar once the client appears.

[Wikebine]

After doing all that, you should see a loading bar once the client appears.

and on that note, not sure if its just my comp or not, but if I alt tab when its loading, it crashes RO, RCX, and explorer. Quite a few comp restarts happened, wasn't too fun.

[fluidin]

might i ask what OS u guys are running on?

i got 2 other friends from my server to try.

the vista one (like me) didnt get it to work. the one running XP did

[Iron Chef Dex]

RCX Download site at http://rcx.planetleaf.com/

Download Alpha Version Build044 CRC:98559383

Extract it to a new folder

1 - Open folder "EnglishSettingFilePack", copy everything inside and paste it to the original folder. ( This changes it to English version )
2 - Open RCX.ini
3 - Find "M2E=" and change it's value to 1
4 - Find "ROWindowClass=", set it as "Ragnarok.exe". ( Careful not to change the example instead )
5 - Find "Dir=" and put in your RO directory.
6 - Scroll to the bottom, put in your [char server's IP]=[server name] (eg "111.111.11.111=MyRO" )
7 - Save the work
8 - Change your server's client.exe name to "Ragnarok"
9 - Run RCX.exe, click OK
10 - Right click on RCX window, select "Launch Ragnarok"

You're off to go.

[Tom~]

I'm using Build048, and it works just fine.

@fluidin: I'm using Vista. Did you download this? Just in case you didn't have it before. The website says that you must have that in order to run RCX after build046, I think.

[Wikebine]

for the GPS thing:
1. Right Click the GPS window
2. Click GPS Connect
3. ID: whatever you want
4. Server: home.planetleaf.com (RCX main site)
5: Port: 19800 seems to work, not sure about any other ones.
6: Protocol: RagPos compatible
and there you go.
if you use another port, it'd probably work, which is nice if you had a whole guild on it.

And if you're wondering, I got the server/port/protocol from somewhere in the irowiki discussion thread

EDIT: ehh, doesnt always work...

[fluidin]

interestingly enough my rcx works on other servers but not the one i previously mentioned.

seems like a server side OS compatibility problem. wtf


thanks for all ur help tho. at least this became quite a valuable thread

[Tom~]

Hmm, you know... I PM'd the guy who made the TFE video, and he was kind enough to give me his RCX.ini. I tried it, and it didn't work on the server where I previously tested with 048 (he uses build044). So, I started reading through it, and I noticed something...

Changed it to 1 and started working again. Try it. It depends on the server, though.

EDIT: Find this while looking for Storm Gust's skill id <.< It's a tutorial on how to make RCX run properly! And the best part... it's in english!

This is so retarded. I wanted to change SG's color to blue, MS' to red, and LoV to yellow. I guess it's impossible <_<;

[chambalelong07]

dont work on all pserver?.. i did all the steps but still no luck..
need help..

[Randfeon]

The control panel thingy problem is actually rather simple - it looks like it won't show up properly if the name of the window of your client is different from "Ragnarok". Since most, if not all, private server customize that to hell and beyond, RCX hardly ever works the way it should on them.
Some people on iRO Wiki have mentioned how RCX doesn't work properly on the Chinese official server, and guess what - the name of the window it uses is not "Ragnarok".
