The Unofficial Tiara's Moonshine Mod & Autobot

[ShaggyZE]

what have you tried to get it working? with the minimal install of just the data folder and data packer.exe did you click find/modify and applied the data folder mods to your .pack files?

in any sense its almost impossible to not get anything of this working if you do it right.

[Chuchumi]

Hey just wondering.. if ego's light not showing on weapon normal or is that something in game.. or mods?

[Chocobubba]

Check the in game settings/performance tab, and uncheck mini effects.

[k9kid]

is it safe to use this mod atm... cuz that black cipher shi is scaring me to mod atm... I dunt want to risk getting banned T.T (I have 23 dragons atm....)

Modding is alright just not the memory patchers such as Abyss functions that are down atm.
The risk is still similar as it was before, telling anyone you mod and getting caught by that.
But some people had problems where they got banned from just closing Black Cipher on task manager, don't try it.

[ImLovelyS2]

I want to know if multi clienting is still relatively safe at the moment? Or if with black cipher now there is a good/higher chance of being banned for it?

[ShaggyZE]

right now we don't have enough information on blackcipher other then it being inefficient and a memory hog so right now its best if you use your own common sense and discretion.

Yeah, I figured as much. Thought it wouldn't hurt to ask though. Thanks!

First off i wanted to say thank you for the updates! The problem i've run into has to do with the launcher as well, It seems to patch perfectly fine but after its done the Game Start option doesn't light up. If i try to restart the launcher it goes thru the whole 153_to_155 patching sequence again. What should i do to try and fix this?

Before i was having the same issue a couple people have reported about regarding the launcher not even popping up, but i'm assuming that might not have anything to do with the current problem. Ive also tried uninstalling tiara as well but that didn't seem to work either

Thanks in advance for the help!

Have you tried a clean install yet?

[Krayon]

Not yet, Lol i was actually trying to avoid that. But ill go ahead with it

Is there an alternative to the bitmap fonts that I can use in Mabinogi?  The default ones from UOTiara barely seem to reduce any lag.  The one from Abyss greats work at reducing lag, but it seems that it's slanted "upwards" so I can't see the top portion of the letters, which is very annoying.

If you use an actual bitmap font (and not a vector font which most .ttf "bitmap" fonts are, they're just visually bitmap-style, not actual bitmap fonts!), then yes you should get the same slowdown reduction effect (from not having to run Mabi's vector font rendering)...

But since the official font change I'm not sure on which bitmap font methods are supported.  People used to use .dds replacement to do this (you can see some in the files section), no clue if it still works.  You could just try replacing the .ttf with an actual bitmap font file and replacing the extension to .ttf, but I'm not sure if that'd work since Abyss might be calling a different routine for drawing text opposed to just replacing the font while the standard routine expects vector fonts or something like that.

I've just taken to using CTRL+N to remove nametags in places like Dunbarton and the dragon raid.  It's amazing how much of a boost that gives because of how terrible the glyph rendering is in Mabi.

I might mess around with some bitmap font file replacement if nobody else here feels like bothering though.

The cp viewer is not working to me

I feel for ya man, same thing happened too me, Clean reinstall is the best way sadly enough :c

Yesterday I toyed around with a few "bitmap fonts" and only a few of them were able to be implemented through the Data Packer.  If you could help me(us) all out with the font situation then it'd be highly appreciated!

It'd help me as well if a simple process could be figured out, so we might as well pool the info.  Mind showing me which fonts you tried that worked and which ones didn't?

The cp viewer is not working to me 

Same here but there isn't a ETA on the fix so we just have to wait

[Mikocracy]

Should I be at all worried that after installing UO Tiara I immediately had both of my Virus Protection tell me that Update Autobot.exe was riddled was trojans?

ok thanks for the info

I only have one question... Regarding those last two options listed under Risky Mods, what exactly do they do? I know someone already asked this but there wasn't really a precise answer, so I'm still confused.

Infinite Party Time is part of Abyss, so does the Remove option modify your dsound.ini so that this function is off? Otherwise, I can't think of anything for it to do.

Remove Font Changes is even more confusing. Is it relating to things like the Reduced Lag fonts or Bitmap Font Outline Fix packaged with Tiara? Or maybe it turns off the "Bitmap Font" option in Abyss? Is that option now risky to use? Because that is by far my favorite part of Abyss... It makes such a huge difference.

[Kaichu]

I did a clean installation, then ran the Tiara installation and chose nothing but the data packer and some of the data folder mods, excluding all of the ones marked as risky. I used the data packer as instructed, the same as always, but when the game opens, it closes again swiftly and gives me the message that the Bug Trap Dynamic link library has stopped working. What have I done incorrectly?

i'm not sure what is wrong, data packer.exe and the data folder shouldn't cause a bug trap crash, i will need more information or a teamviewer session to help solve your problem.

remove infinite partytime changes it to 0 in dsound.ini
remove font changes removes uo tiara's true type font, bitmap font outline and changes bitmap=0 in dsound.ini
so its exactly as your common sense told you.

no, the trojans aren't real its a 'false positive'

as reported by proff, some launchers could not download 153_to_155 so he uploaded them at the top left of this site, so you didn't need to reinstall, plus there are launcher's like PowerPatcher that solve these problems.

@Hellz92, you should never recommend a clean install until all troubleshooting has lead to a dead end.

Everything from these links (http://www.dafont.com/bitmap.php) (http://www.1001freefonts.com/bitmap-pixel-fonts.php) didn't work.
These aren't the exact names of the fonts but I have the names of the zip files that I downloaded from yesterday.
- minecraftia.zip
- pixelmix.zip
- pragmatapro.zip
- pokemon_ruby_sapphi.zip
- SFSquareRoot.zip
- LowGunScreen.zip
- Homespun.zip
- DisposableDroid.zip
- Acknowledge.zip

The only one that worked was alphanumeric.ttf (as in was detectable through the Data Packer) but it seems that this font does little to nothing in reducing lag.

I'm no specialist in modding, I've just been using mods for a long time in Mabinogi.  Wish I could be of more help but this is the best I could do based on my "knowledge" of mods in Mabi.  Thanks for taking a look at the situation.

[ShaggyZE]

all of those fonts should work if they are .ttf, but they need to be named nanumgothicbold.ttf in \data\gfx\font\
while bitmap font is disabled in abyss's dsound.ini
