Correction: I'm an idiot that left the Data folder in place so it was attempting to connect to Waisz's server directly...

Strange, nothing's changed about the accounts..
Umm.. Remember it's case sensitive, though maybe you did remember that..?

And trying to connect from here at work is working just fine.

Looks like I'll just RAR up the RO dir here and take it home.

Okay, PM me with the info as you're entering it... Just in case.

Like I said, I'll archive the install I have here at work and dump it over at the house when I go home for lunch and test it out...

Odds are it's something that I fucked up somewhere.

Anyone else have issues with the sakexe.exe file being locked? When I tried to patch it wouldn't let me overwrite the old one with the new one from aRO... I had to reboot to unlock the file. The only thing I can think of is that since I was playing on DT earlier in the day from this PC that it was never unlocked as a "file in use"...

I've got most of the character data for Dark Tower restored.
It will probably be joining Angel on the server select as soon as Waisz is around,
I didn't include common drops, etc, for certain reasons.
Same with upgrades to weapons; You'll have to ask a GM to restore those, for now.
Also, there's three characters I couldn't seem to find the item/skill data on:
Iulius
Skaw
Vorbis

So.. I'll try to reimburse if those three want it and can specify what they lost.

When Dark Tower is up today, I'll probably take Angel down briefly for some updating.

There might be a few typos/mistakes/etc with the characters, but we'll work that out when the server is up.

It's official: Dark Tower is back up, and it's now a part of angelicRO.
However on the flip side, it ended up crashing mere moments after it was brought online.
This means Angel will stay up until DT's back up..
The updating can wait until people have a place to go.

You can't call the NPCs missing just because they're not on the server.
We use a totally different set of NPCs.
Alot of them are custom, rather than copied from official servers.
We have fewer NPCs in some areas, but that doesn't make Dark Tower better than Angel.
Also, the NPCs DT is using now were actually provided by me, as is DT's current server software.
(I have no idea how it crashed so fast, we're running the exact same thing on Angel.)

We're adding NPCs to Angel gradually.
There's not that many NPCs in some towns or such, but that's not a bad thing.

Amount doesn't really matter, keep that in mind.

Yeah. But DT retains the engrish for the NPCs.
I put alot of work into Angel's NPCs.
DT's are basically just copies from the official servers, with added stuff.
(Like the skill quests. Sorry guys, no more free 'platinum' skills. Or free warps AFAIK.)

And server is down again. Apparently Waisz's server does not like aRO much.

If I connect, it crashes it. My guess is that's because of the way the router and proxy are setup. Aegis had a whole lot of lag if I connected to myself; this has a whole lot of lag followed by a crash at logout.

This is, of course, through WAN. I was able to play on my server if I came in through LAN, but with how this is setup, doing that will require a lot of thought.

Looks like I made it across ok... My attack is a bit lower than I remember it being, but when I engaged the zombies I seemed to be doing more damage than before...

Hah! Nah, I have a hunch about what it might be this time, there's a bug that used to happen on Angel that I think might be occuring on DT now.
I'm updating Angel, and it'll be back up ASAP, so that the addicts don't go insane.

It's a totally different system compared to Aegis, of course the damage is going to be different.
It's alot more balanced actually.

My Dmg before was 80 + 4, now it's 63 + 0...

Before I would DS Zombies for up to 320 (Level 9 DS too), now I DS them for almost 400 (392 or so)... Straight shots I'd never see a triple digit hit... I got 3 for 102 before the server crapped out...

It'll take a bit of adjusting, but it should be good. heh

Uh... I just logged back in, and um. I have like 1500 HP.

My levels, stats, and items and all that is correct, but HPs are like whoa. Plus, the attack speeds are like WAY off, they are so messed up I can't fight.

So it was actually a good thing my HP were so high cause I got mobbed in the caves by EVERYTHING, and I was shooting so horribly slow and nothing was registering, I never would have survived otherwise.

Not really, EXP was jacked too.

Some things I was able to hit, I no longer could, and a few things I couldn't hit, I could now, and should have given EXP.

Nothing was giving EXP. The ONLY thing giving me EXP was some, fried egg with a frying pan thing. And it gave very little.
