[Lost]

Is anyone else having Issues with NGS? I haven't seen anyone else say anything so I just wanted to check

[Blade3575]

Some people were earlier, but aren't now; even though nothing had changed. This is also not the place for NGS discussion.

Do you run it as administrator? If I don't do this for example, mine won't work either.

Oh? So your game just doesnt pop up at all with either?

If you msg me on discord I might try to help you with that.

Please do that privately if possible. We've had a few so far abuse the Discord--the charity and patience of those there. Thanks.

It's why it was put on the announcement that it's not tech support by the staff.

*edit*
Let me clarify this.  Mabimods doesn't do tech support on Discord, we have the forums as a collective knowledge base for that.  The reasoning for this is so others can see it.  That way if someone needs to find an answer or has questions, then the information is there for them to see for themselves.  Self help is good.  If one chooses to offer help privately that's of their choosing.  Should one take them up on it, please do be respectful and understanding of their time and do what they ask.  It's appreciated. 
Posting on a forums or any form of communication implies one wants help.  It's implicitly expected.  Think of the times some have posted and not received an answer right away, well... they post again.  Maybe the next time one gets angry and starts demanding.  People need to remember that we're all human and you need to be willing to help yourselves.  That all being said, yes, apparently we do need to be very specific.

I'm gonna make a post in the discord thread, just wanted to pull attention elsewhere as i know some like to ignore anything they don't want.

Thanks Fl0rn, I admit I figured the BOLD RED TEXT IN ALL CAPS was an obvious statement lol.

I spent a nice chunk of time actually between rewording the post and shortening it, to cut out as much of my usual rambling as i could.  Trying not to make it excessive in length, while simultaneously not being downright offensive and still getting your point across, can be a neat challenge at times.

Hello.
I'am not sure if you guys still take requests, but back then there was a mod that could turn blank Pet images in Pet Window which could drastically improve FPS for those with a lot Pets, is it possible to "revive" that mod? also is there any way to make the same in Character Selection Screen? because when you have over 100 pets you get a huge FPS drop in Character Selection Screen as well and even if you turn off Pets in Character Selection Screen it doesn't change a thing. I get 7fps or so in Pet Window and Character Selection Screen. I always thought a better computer could fix that, but my brother has a i7 7700 and GTX970 and it gets 13fps or so with my Account(the VGA isn't the best but i'm sure the Processor is), it's really annoying.

I don't actually know if it's possible.  There is a sub-board for requests, rather than here.  That said, if you're wanting it in abyss specifically, i'm assuming it'd be a dll edit and not data folder, you may try pm'ing blade about it.  I would suggest, going ahead and reposting your post, into requests section though, as you may be more likely to get attention from those who are actually able to help.  The category/location you post in, can be all the difference in getting the attention of people who can do anything.

Oh i see, i'am sorry i should have looked for that, i remember they were accepting requests (although that was a long time ago) so i thought i'd just post it here. i remember it was either a modsharker or datacami dll so i thought they would know... i tried changing pettab.xml but after 5hours best i managed to do was to disable the big pet view window in pet window, which didn't make any difference at all.

I will repost it in requests section as suggested, Thanks

Hi all,

Having an issue with getting abyss running. Fresh install of Mabi works fine.

Drop abyss files and MabiDirectLaunch in folder and client crashes on loading (yes, I'm running as admin).  Don't know if this will help, however, the "Problem Signature" reads as follows:

Attempted to launch with Pr0boszcz's New Direct Launcher, and Mabi loads, but upon login attempt in I get "Server cannot be reached" error prior to 2nd password page.

I'm stumped.

Any suggestions?

[The Proffessor]

One potential cause would be some outdated client files, specifically missing pack files. Are you using Steam or the Nexon Launcher to update? If not, you are probably still on the previous client version, since Nexon recently discontinued and took down their previous update system.

Launching an older version might very well load, but will always result in a "Server cannot be reached." message when trying to log on. I'm not sure why Nexon hasn't come up with a better message than that, but basically the server refuses the connection unless the client is running the most recent version.

I'm not 100% sure what exactly would cause the "appcrash" issue, but it might be related to the same thing.

[destindfate2]

Thanks for the quick reply Professor. It's a fresh install r248. I used Nexon 's launcher to update with no mods installed then downloaded/installed a fresh copy of Abyss/MabiDirectLauncher. When that didn't work, I attempted  Pr0boszcz's New Direct Launcher. 

Went back into Nexon's launcher to repair the installation after removing all the above, and the game is running just fine.
 
lol I usually don't have issues installing and updating this stuff, but this time, I'm at a total loss.

*UPDATE* Thanks Professor!!  You gave me an idea.  I still had the old C:\Nexon\Mabinogi directory intact with my last working copy of Abyss, etc in there. With the new install, everything went to C:\Nexon\Library...

The previous attempt I'd dropped the mods into the appdata folder in the Library directory, and that was fail.  After you posted, I decided to try to drop the 247 to 248 pack and language file from C:\Nexon\Library\mabinogi\appdata\package into the old package directory under C:\Nexon\Mabinogi, and this time, Mabi and abyss loaded just fine using MabiDirectLaunch. It's working like a champ now, so the issue is "somewhat" resolved, but I still have no idea why it didn't work in the new directory under appdata.  I'll leave that mystery for you guys to handle! lol

Many thanks again!

Actually I believe I know what would have caused that as well. Mabi uses a registry entry that would tell the client where the main folder was located (in your case "C:\Nexon\Mabinogi"). The Nexon Launcher probably failed or forgot to change that entry the first time when installing a new copy into "C:\Nexon\Library\Mabinogi\appdata". when trying to run Mabi, it probably loaded the resources (including the packfiles) from the old folder since it was still pointed there, causing the outdated files to be used. The "Installation Repair" from the Nexon Launcher probably succeeded in fixing the pointer to go to the new location.

In short, it's just Nexon being Nexon...lol

This makes sense. Also explains why in the past, when I've had Mabi installed in both places and patched my client from the appdata folder, it also patched the old folder as well. Just for future reference, would it be safe to delete certain registry entries when patching goes awry? TBH, I've actually never even looked in my registry for nexon keys, so I'm unsure of what exactly exists in there.
