OpenKore comes with a large list of server information. But some servers are not in the list, and sometimes the server information changes (for instance, when a server changes IP address or upgrades the server software). This guide teaches you several ways to figure out the (new) server information. Read this guide completely and carefully! If you encounter problems, finish reading this guide first before asking questions on the forum or IRC!
==Getting Server Information==
OpenKore comes with a list of official servers information only, because of the high amount of private servers, it is impossible to have and keep them updated, so private servers players should follow this guide to get and update their server information.  
Before continuing, read the list of [[unsupported servers]]. Your server might have anti-bot protection resulting in not being supported by Openkore.
 
OpenKore requires the following information about the Ragnarok Online server before it can initialize and login:
* The server name
* The server's [[host]] ([[wikipedia:IP address|IP address]] or [[wikipedia:hostname|hostname]]) and [[wikipedia:computer port (software)|port]]
* The server's [[Connectivity_Guide#Required|master version]] number, [[Connectivity_Guide#Required|version]] number, [[Connectivity_Guide#Required|character encoding]], [[Connectivity_Guide#Required|charBlockSize]]
* [[Connectivity_Guide#Syntax|addTableFolders]] to look for tables in


But before you do that, read the list of [[unsupported servers]]. Your server may not be supported at all - in that case reading this guide would be a waste of time.
There are detailed instructions on collecting server information with [http://wpepro.net/ WPE] or [http://wireshark.org/ Wireshark]. This kind of packet analyze isn't anything special for OpenKore or Ragnarok Online, so it's up to you to get [[wikipedia:packet analyzer|the tools]] and ways to do it which work for you. It's up to you as well what to do with any so-called "protection" in your server's client that may get in the way.


OpenKore needs the following information about the Ragnarok Online server before it can login:
There may be problems determining [[Connectivity_Guide#Required|version]] and [[Connectivity_Guide#Required|master_version]] if your server's protocol has some kind of encryption. In that case, merely determining these values won't even help, the main issue is dealing with that encryption.


*The server name.

==Getting Server Information==
'''2.''' Open your ragnarok but '''''don't login yet!''''' Leave it on the login screen and open WPE.
There are two ways for getting them, which is using [http://wpepro.net WPE] or [http://www.wireshark.org Wireshark]. WPE is the easiest one, because most ragnarok players are familiarized with it already or at least know what it does and how it works. But some servers block it's use, so you better use Wireshark.

==Packet Length Extractor==
Packet Length Extractor is a program which retreives the packet lengths from the RO client and stores them in recvpackets.txt.
If you're having server problems, such as:
*Packet Tokenizer: Unknown switch: xxxx
*Getting disconnected after a few seconds
*NPCs, players and monsters are not recognized by Kore
 
Then generating a new recvpackets.txt might solve the problem. It's advisable to '''''always''''' extract the recvpackets for any server that you will play. The file must be on tables folder.
 
'''''Note.''''' You may have problems extracting the recvpackets if your server's client has some kind of protection.
 
 
===About Recvpackets===
The network data that the server sends to Kore, is a byte stream. Kore must be able to recognize messages inside that byte stream to be able to do something with it. But the size of the messages can vary from to server to server. Recvpackets.txt contains information about the size of each message, so Kore can correctly split the byte stream into messages.
 
 
===Download===
There are two programs you can use to extract the recvpackets:
*JCV's RO Tools
*OpenKore Packet Length Extractor
 
It's better to use JCV's RO Tools as it is more up to date and have some fixes for newer clients. Also it's much easier to maintain, but it has undesirable and outdated options in addition to the packet extractor.
*[http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7PXQ9J1N JCV's RO Tools v1.0.3]

Getting Server Information

OpenKore comes with a list of official servers information only, because of the high amount of private servers, it is impossible to have and keep them updated, so private servers players should follow this guide to get and update their server information. Before continuing, read the list of unsupported servers. Your server might have anti-bot protection resulting in not being supported by Openkore.

OpenKore requires the following information about the Ragnarok Online server before it can initialize and login:

There are detailed instructions on collecting server information with WPE or Wireshark. This kind of packet analyze isn't anything special for OpenKore or Ragnarok Online, so it's up to you to get the tools and ways to do it which work for you. It's up to you as well what to do with any so-called "protection" in your server's client that may get in the way.

There may be problems determining version and master_version if your server's protocol has some kind of encryption. In that case, merely determining these values won't even help, the main issue is dealing with that encryption.

WPE (Winsock Packet Editor)

1. Download WPE and extract it (password: openkore).

  • Before downloading, make a sure to disable your anti-virus as it can mark WPE as a virus and delete it. Download at your risk, we will not be resposabilized if your computer crashes.
  • You will need some programs to extract it, the common ones are WinRAR and 7zip.

2. Open your ragnarok but don't login yet! Leave it on the login screen and open WPE.

3. At WPE's window, click on Target Programs button.

Targetyc.png

4. A window will open, search for the server's executable and double-click it.

Clickrag.png
Note. Some servers "hide" their executables by renaming it (like from xxxRO.exe to xxxx.dll or xxxxx.bin), so don't worry if the executable isn't a .exe one.

5. In the WPE's window, click on Play button.

Play.png

6. Switch to your Ragnarok's window, put and try to login.

Note. Valid login information are not needed.

7. Back to WPE's window, click on Stop button

Stopjw.png

8. A window will open with recorded data. One of the packets sent to the server would be login packet which usually contains the server's version, master_version, IP and port - write them down because they are going to be used later. The packets will be different on each server, possible login packets may start with 64 00 or 02 B0. Other packets (such as 18-byte-long 02 04) may be sent before login packet.

Legend:
  1. version (displayed as 4-byte unsigned number in little-endian, in hex)
  2. IP (as is)
  3. port (as is)
  4. master version (displayed as 1-byte unsigned number, in hex)

9. See Converting Hexadecimal to Decimal numbers to convert the master_version and version before configuring Kore.

Wireshark

1. Download and install Wireshark.

2. Open your ragnarok but don't login yet! Leave it on the login screen and open Wireshark.

3. At Wireshark's window, go to Capture > Options on the upper menu or press Ctrl + K.

Capiture.png

4. In the top right box, select the interface that will be used to capture on. If there isn't any specific interface to use, select the one whose IP address is equal to the your ip address or is not unknown. Alternatively you can try all of them and use the one that records the packets. Set the others settings like the images bellow:

Interface.PNG

5. Click on Start button and go back to the Ragnarok window and login.

Note. Valid information are not needed.

6. Back to Wireshark and click on Stop button.

Stop.png

7. In Wireshark main window, you can see the TCP segments that were captured. Fill in the packet filter, but what to fill in depends on the username you used to login.

Enter this in the "Filter" text box:
eth contains "xxxxxx" or eth contains xxxxxx
Replace xxxxxx with the username that was used to login and press enter. In the example bellow, username was Mushroom.
Filter.png

8. There will be only one entry now, click on it to show some information about it. This is where the IP and port is stored.

10. A new window will open, in the bottom left, select Hex Dump.

Hex.png

11. These are the login packets. Take a look at it and write down the packets that contains the version and master version numbers. They are marked on the image bellow.

Packets.png
  • version displayed as 4-byte unsigned number in little-endian, in hex
  • master version displayed as 1-byte unsigned number, in hex

12. See Converting Hexadecimal to Decimal numbers to convert the master_version and version before configuring Kore.

Converting Hexadecimal to Decimal numbers

Master_version and server version collected from the login packets are in hexadecimal number (base-16) and Kore expects a decimal number (base-10), so converting those numbers are needed before Kore can read them.

Converting can be made using Windows' calculator or any other site that has a hex to dec calculator.

1. Open Windows calculator Start > Accessories > Calculator.

Calc.PNG

2. Go to View on the upper menu and click on Scientific.

Sci.PNG

3. Check the circle beside Hex.

Hexa.PNG

4. On the calculator, type the number that you got for master_version and version. In the example, master_version hexadecimal number is 10.

Type.PNG

5. Check the circle beside Dec.

Dec.PNG

6. After checking, the number shown should automatically be converted from hexadecimal to decimal.

Done.PNG
You must convert master_version and version.

Configuring Openkore

OpenKore reads server information from a file named servers.txt. The file is on tables folder.

If your server is not listed in the file, then add a new entry. If your server is already listed, then modify the existing entry.

Dates are for a reference with default Athena configuration only, any server can reconfigure that.

In Athena code base, function mmo_char_tobuf generates character blocks.

Development.pngImplementation of this feature is expected to become outdated with server updates.
As OpenKore is a free project, if you stumble upon such updates, you are expected to fix the problem and contribute your changes back. Usually, server supporters will do that, but there isn't any for random private servers, and some official ones may not always be covered.


addTableFolders <folder path>
Configures Kore to load tables file from the specified path (relative to the tables directory).
Used only when there is no --tables specified.
For english ones, you can use
addTableFolders translated/kRO_english
or
addTableFolders iRO

Optional

private <boolean>
Set this option if Openkore connects to a wrong map-server IP. Usually for private servers.

Configures file's name for recvpackets. See also: Packet Length Extractor.
chatLangCode <boolean>
Enables support for language codes (a pipe and two hexadecimal digits) in chat messages.
storageEncryptKey [<encrypt key>]
Specifies your server's storage encryption key.
field_<location> <filename>
This parameter allows you to set a synonym for the location name. This parameter is useful if your server uses outdated or modified locations.
clientHash <boolean>

Possible values: 0, 1, 2.
secureLogin <number>
Specify a value if "secureLogin" is used on the server.
secureLogin_type <number>
Specify the type "secureLogin" if used on the server. This value determines which packet will be sent to the server.
secureLogin_requestCode <hex string>
OpenKore will use the code specified in this parameter to connect to the server. If any value is specified in this parameter, then the "secureLogin_type" parameter will be ignored.
The <hex string> is a space-separated sequence of hex codes. For example: 04 02 22 37 D7 FC.
secureLogin_account <boolean>
It looks like this is only used when "secureLogin = 3" in the package '01FA' 'master_login'
preLoginCode <boolean>
If your server uses sending a special packet before sending 'master_login', then put "1" here. It looks like it's not being used anywhere right now.
masterLogin_packet <packet_switch>

OTP_ip <IP_or_hosthame>
Server's login IP (with OTP - One Time Password)

Server shutdown message. Default message: Server you've selected (%s) is now marked as dead.
title <server_name>
Server name that will be shown in the list when you select a server. You can take any value, in contrast to the "[<server_name>]", which is better not to touch.
