It usually is =) glad that they work

[viperboy20]

ok i followed the steps...but now i get an error saying
client.exe -Entry Point Not FOund
The proedure entry point CreateRemoteThreadEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll

[Lady Playtime]

What mods are you trying to use?

This is an issue caused by the patchers.

Also what windows... Since it's not a mabi file, it's a system one.

Ok I was having this issue with my desktop. I don't use my desktop often and the xml's and everything were terribly outdated. This is what appeared. So I redownloaded Mabinogi made sure there were no lurking mods in the C://Nexon/Mabinogi and then you would follow these steps. Also be sure that your using mods that you can use as of now gerent, rhapsody and such will not work. If you have these in your C://Nexon/Mabinogi be sure to get rid of them.

Redownloading mabi would make sure of that lol
And...do you actually have to redownload mabi, I thought replacing data folder with updated Tiara, using MabiFresh, deleting any unusable .ini's from previous patchers would solve the outdated xml's. Or were you talking about getting the .packs for version like...40_to_81?

Lol i'm not sure Redownloading is always the way to go when i'm unsure. That's a good bet to solving problems so I usually just throw it in there to make it easier lol, but yeah i'm sure you can do it by replacing the data folder with updated versions. I'm just kind of here to give the basic advice until someone who's smarter can come along lol. Wish I was smarter and knew everything about mods, but I don't sadly. (Decided to do some exploring into how mods are made and such today. Searched for several hours and came out of it with the biggest headache of my life just proves how much I can comprehend lol.)

[Gogetter14]

Thanx Very much your Guide was awesome and easy to understand, i tested the mods and the cp viewer seems to be working fine although the zoom isn't. Again Ty for Ur hard work

[Infamix]

Not too sure about it but.. When you wish to un-install Tiara, you use data packer? I did read the original post, saw nothing bout it.

Is this still about the kernel32.dll?

This is NOT a mabi file, it's a system file, sure, reinstalling it may solve the issue with it, but it doesn't really help anyone, kernel32 problems are being posted everywhere lately, I'd much rather one person having to sit through hell trying to help us all figure out a solution, so that everyone else has an easy fix.
Than everyone whining about it, nobody getting helped,etc...

[CoalChris]

No, It's not about kernel32.dll
There's your straightforward answer~

[The Doctor]

Kernel32 error only happens when you try to install the windows 7 version of MNG on a pre-Windows 7 OS.

I've seen it multiple times, I've never used MNG once yet.

[whiteblade23]

i got a question for anyone that can help me.. for tiara unofficial i did the fix for it

 "Locate ESL.dll in your Mabinogi folder. [Default install path is C:/Nexon/Mabinogi(Non default install paths, you should know where you installed it.)]
Delete it.
Locate ESL.clean [I believe that is what it was called]
Rename it to ESL.dll.'

but when i went into the game i noticed i lost all my hotkeys and in like 2 mins i would get HS... if anyone can help me with it i would be greatful thanks.

Done.

Every time I so much as look at Data Packer, I feel sort of confused even though I know it's really very simple.

Just to get this straight.. Data Packer is still required because MNG doesn't have any read-from-data-folder functionality, right? So what -does- MNG cover? The list of "working mods" in the first post all look like data folder things and I wouldn't expect .dll functions, since I was under the impression that the public isn't getting those anymore due to.. some people.. who ruin it for the rest of us.

Sorry if this post seems remedial, I'm just trying to get it all perfectly straight in my head. Moving from the sort of system where it's all done for you to the sort of system where you do it for yourself leaves me a little apprehensive and I want to understand everything completely before I go about re-modding.

While I'm at it, is there a way to use BusAccident's font instead of god-awful WhiteRabbit? I haven't noticed anything one way or the other, presumably since most people seem happy with WR as their font.

EDIT: As for email notifications, some people are sort of absentminded and completely forget that we've posted in a thread until the GMail Notifier pops up and says there's a reply. Just putting that out there.

[Lady Playtime]

I'm honestly just tired of answering people now, I'm sorry to you all.

My Skype name is on the side, next to my posts, if you have a problem/question, feel free to add me, I'll gladly help, I'm just tired of answering people here.
PMing me also works too


Yes, there is a way to change the font, go download the one you want, it's here on MM I believe, if not, google the name, it's easy to find, I myself use that very font.

Rename it to alphanumeric.ttf, place it in the data folder, copy/replacing the one currently in there.

You MUST REMOVE ALL MODS using the data packer before you do this!!
Data pack it back in once it's in place done.
I'll add a list MNG mods to a spoiler under the patcher section later, I don't feel like doing work right now, I just got back from a full day of first aid training, I'm tired.

[Spitfire]

kernel32.dll = core .dll file for your windows. Don't tamper with it, or bother looking for it.
You typically see kernel32.dll from APPCRASH. derp.

[kntmikado]

No worries about finding the font, I've got a copy. One other thing is, how update-resistant is data packing? Are we going to be doing this every time there's new content?

Yeah, that's probably my worst question ever..

[Lady Playtime]

That depends on how old your XML's are.

Everytime they go out of date, you need to get new ones, remove mods, replace them, redo the mods.

Personally, my data folder has been working as is, since G3, with some minor additions along the way.  Never needing to redo them.

Last question of the day, I'm on Skype if I'm needed <3, unless my Skype makes a sound saying new message, I'm not getting out of bed.

[kntmikado]

Yeah. The only part of my data folder that ever got touched was the db folder and eventually I just stopped using that. If I stick to changing the font, maybe the interface too, and modding skeleton pets into ice witches, that ought to be good well into G19. God knows they don't update core game systems very often, with the notable exception of hackshield which isn't even one.

Thanks for the help though.

[Penguin Eater]

White Rabbit is effectively dead, I replaced it sometime ago with Sansation font. You can still get it, but I prefer Sansation.

Oh and you can use ESL.dll to enable data read without data pack, but that requires a bypass such as MNG. That .dll is included in UT, rename ESL.dataread to ESL.dll.

[Spitfire]

People are saying the modified ESL.dll is causing all the crashes.
