updating/2.1

Notes for updating to OpenKore 2.1.

TODO: add this file to distribution?

ServerTypes

Official servers

Official servers now have their own serverTypes, which update according to corresponding server (instead of updating servers.txt on server update).

Included servers.txt uses them already. If you play on official server, just use new servers.txt.

Private servers

Private servers are not included anymore, because this information quickly becomes outdated and nobody updates it. And most likely, you need to use new kRO serverType tree.

(TODO: something about kRO serverTypes)

Skill and status name changes

Now you can use skill and status handles (like AL_HEAL, EFST_BLESSING) instead of skill names, or both in the same time (in form of Heal (AL_HEAL) - in this case only handle is currently used). You will need this for mercenary skills that have the same name with some skills of your character - such as Provoke (MER_PROVOKE). If you have trouble with skill names, check console command skills - it suggest forms you can use in config. Another useful outcome is that this configuration will be independent of localizations and name changes, as handles most likely will not be changed ever.

Localized tables

By default, official servers will use corresponding included table sets with localized items, skills, statuses etc. If you will decide to use these, you most likely will need to rewrite names of items, skills and statuses in your control files.

Default table set was changed. If you don't like it, you can use iRO table set (which resembles pre-2.1 default table set).

If you want to use exact control files which you used with previous releases of OpenKore (pre-2.1), set locale_compat 1 in sys.txt (or manually select "Old" table set). Maybe in future there will be support for multiple table sets or some converting tool.

You can always specify which table set(s) to use with command line argument `--tables`.
