How to : Update your own RotMG Client Source

[lolpot132]

jepx has an expertimental feature of editing scripts before export, or compile.

Yeah it doesn't work too great in my experience.

Is there any way you'd be able to reiterate what you said in a bit more legible way? No offense, it's just that some parts are incredibly hard to discern in what you're saying; and I really want to try updating the client instead of just having someone release an updated client for me! Thank you very much for making this thread!

It's very bad, I usually just write the code, copy the bytecode and reload.

Thank you for the write up. I might try my hand at updating CC when the next game version comes out....which I hope is soon, because I hate the new mystery box screen...

is there a way to do this on steam?

Anybody? I'd love a clarification.

I have downloaded both versions of the rotmg swf. I have extracted both scripts and compared them. I have found the differences. It says to open "the project" in IDEA but I have no clue what is meant by that. I can create a new project and import the decompiled version of my client change things and then convert it to a module, which is what I thought I was supposed to do, but this yeilds a Main.swf which loads a white screen then closes. Help please someone...

Go to the Index of/rotmg/production site, then scroll down and click on the version you would like to download. After doing that a folder containing a few options should come up. You want to select client.swf. After doing that if it doesn't begin downloading but instead starts playing like it would if you played on the website then (assuming your using chrome but if you aren't I'm pretty sure you can figure it out) go to the settings, three dots in the top right, and open the tab labled "More tools," select "save as..." and then enter your desired location and the swf should begin downloading! Hope this helpped.

Well, my source is the exact same code as the working release (19.1.0), it has all the assets and compiles correctly and loads. However, when I hit the play button its just my character walking and it says connection failed. But I can hit O to bring up the options menu. No idea how to debug this.

sounds like the version isn't matching up, make sure it's updated in the parameters.

also, I know one of the client builds changed the line in the connectionconcrete file next to the file with the packets that reads the version from the parameters file into a hard coded 0 for minor version, that needs to be changed or it will always read major version + 0, so fix that to read for minor version or just hard code the correct one

If the version wasn't matching up, then the source code wouldn't be the exact same. The source code is the exact same as the working 19.1 crazyclient, therefore the parameters.as file is the exact same as the working 19.1 crazyclient


EDIT: still don't know what was wrong with that build, but I took a different approach and fixed it
