[September 3, 2023]Abyss Patcher

[Blade3575]

Asking again as my post seems to be ignored. Can anyone change their log in screen to the G1/2 goddess statue? Is it broken?

What does Abyss_patchlog.txt say about it when you have it enabled? If it says it's successful it's likely it didn't patch in time due to how late in the process dsound.dll gets called.

Yeah same but it's not initializing the patcher.

You aren't the only one who's having problems with dsound.dll not being hooked. I'm not sure why. I might end up just hooking a different dll in hopes of avoid a few problems like this one.

[01/22/13 17:56:50] - Abyss : login screen hooking success

Yeah... and I asked around, other people don't get any change either.

[Gaby5011]

Multiclient!!!! Props to you, sir.

[Sozen Cratos Focker]

Don't know. I have no idea why the Client freezes for some people and not others. I have never found a reason, sorry.

On a side note, I got Fantasia working again, which means this would be possible again:

Code: [Select]

[01/20/13 06:33:05] - Patch found at address 0x00606EAD.
[01/20/13 06:33:05] - Patch found at address 0x0042AC08.
[01/20/13 06:33:05] - Patch initialization successful: Use Data Folder.Also means CPU limiter and toggling mid-game of patches.

If people want this, I can start to convert all the patches I have over to Fantasia.

Yes, yes, and yes. I think almost everyone would want data folder back, repacking every time is a pain.




TYVM for the Nalge fix and multiclient.




Mod Requests:
You know how some of the old patchers (like Jinsu) let you open storage bags without having premium service(I don't think you could pick up or use the items, but you could check what was in there).  Is that still possible?

Also, It would be nice if the weather symbols on the clock could ba changed to something that shows the exact weather state numerically.

You aren't the only one who's having problems with dsound.dll not being hooked. I'm not sure why.

Maybe it has something to do with the version of DirectX they have? or some settings being off(does DirectX have stttings?) or an update missing or something?

[Blade3575]

I keep forgetting to look into viewing locked things.. Also, data folder may not work.. running into a lot of problems but we'll see.

[bigworm19999]

Great Mod! But How Do You Get Rid Of It ? I only wanted to check My CP... now i cant seem to run mabi without running without the HS.... i even tried my original mabi files.... soo ? Is Their A Uninstaller i can't find? Over All Great Mod, =P

[Blade3575]

//To uninstall Abyss delete the following files:
// Abyss_patchlog.txt, dinput8.dll, dsound.dll, dsound.ini and HSLaunch.exe

[bigworm19999]

I Did All That... When I Login, I Get The Run HS Pop Up

[Blade3575]

You still have dinput8.dll in your Mabi folder then.

[bigworm19999]

yea, it came back, after i deleted it XD. somehow xP... Thanks! Great Mod!

[Sozen Cratos Focker]

is read data folder done differently from how it used to be? How does the time when it's loaded affect weather or not it works? I used to start the client with it off and turn it on after logging in when fantasia got mid-game toggling.

[Blade3575]

I never thought toggling that was possible.. I'll have to look into it then.

I never thought toggling that was possible.. I'll have to look into it then.

you used to toggle just about every mod IG.

[vb286]

CC is crashing me.

[Sozen Cratos Focker]

I never thought toggling that was possible.. I'll have to look into it then.

Not only was it possible, it used to be necesary. When hackshield bypasses were only partially working, a lot of mods, including data folder read, made hackshield crash the client at the beginning, but worked fine if you just waited 5 minutes before turning them on, and CP reader worked as long as you used it for less than half an hour at a time. The main reason i suggested that spr33 add toggling to fantasia is that i noticed toggling seemed to trick hackshield when using Jinsu.

After the maint, my client would just silently crash when I click the Start button on the character select screen. This would happen around the time that it was supposed to display the "Connecting to the World." dialog. This happened multiple times in a row, but upon removing Abyss, the game worked fine again... I'm running XP. I can't imagine how the maint might have caused a problem for Abyss though, since I don't recall there being a patch to anything. Am I the only one getting this issue?

[Blade3575]

Have you checked Abyss_patchlog.txt? Silent crashing sounds like a blacklist.

[Silverkun]

After this happened twice I moved my Abyss files elsewhere to test if it would work then, but upon moving the exact same files back and running the game under what seem to be the same conditions, it works just fine again. No silent crash. Pretty sure I haven't installed, uninstalled, or reconfigured anything since then. So yeah, sorry for bugging you but thanks for the quick response.

[Blade3575]

Glad things are working. Enjoy. Oddly enough, a lot of people have problems where redownloading and putting the files back fixes it.

Hey i just have a small problem with abyss, i can't figure out how to change the setting for controlling the time-of-day mod, the ini file shows the option but changing it doesn't have any effect on the game, i don't really like seeing the sunlight all the time, it's unrealistic. I have tiara modded on as well with the options of of forcing Noon time on tiara all unchecked, it worked before abyss was added on top, now it doesn't and i've tried re-patching the tiara mods with no change, anyone have any ideas?

Upon further playing i noticed all applied tiara mods are overwritten, like the option to not remove houses from tara and tailltaenn, if there's anyway to have abyss mod coexist with tiara mod let me know so i know if i have to remove it or not ;x

[ShaggyZE]

uo tiara mods can co-exist but each time you add or remove a mod that was or wasn't previously added you need to remove mods with data packer and/or click yes when the installer asks to remove your data folder then re-apply the new data folder mods at the end of installing.

Edit:
also make sure you have unchecked all 3 of the always noon mods.

[b3sm00th]

alright so basically a reinstall of tiara after abyss is put in, and yea i know about the 3 Noon's hence why i said "it worked before abyss" xD oh and thanks for te reply Shaggy

adding abyss before or after wouldn't affect uo tiara since in most cases the only abyss mod that has any affect with uo tiara is

Code: [Select]

;Data folder but generally doesn't work due to timing.
XML=0and as far as i know it is still unreliable for now.

[b3sm00th]

just came across a new problem when repatching tiara after deleting data folder, which made them both be able to load, but because in my tiara options i chose to keep tara and taill houses the area where tara's houses and town roads should be is just a huge gray area, no way to change such options for abyss is there? So i either live without the defualt Tara and Taill or without abyss mod.
