Looking for EP4 Guidance

[UikFire]

Hi all,

I’m new and trying to get everything running on Last Chaos EP4 so I can learn the code, experiment, and create new content. I need help with:



Server Source Compile Guide for EP4.





Clean database that works with ClientNov.





A working copy of DamonA’s Dev Tool—the Catalog gives errors  ( 2 ), Affinity button doesn’t save, startitem doesn’t work, and other features fail.





Instructions for compiling the ClientSource—changing things like Max+ on weapons or EXP gives errors in-game.





Where to change start item equipment (with +15 option) and the actual start items.




I already have some tools (LOD/STR export, String editor, Dev Pack by DamonA) and I’ve checked the forums, but most tools I found no longer work with EP4.

If anyone has working tools, guides, or tips, that are willingly to share  I’d really appreciate it!

Hi,



There are plenty of guides on here on how to compile both client & server sources for EP4 servers. It's all about setting up your environment correctly and having the right paths and dependencies at the right place. Might be tricky and looks hard, but it's just a matter of "spend time figuring this shit out" and then you're done.



Dev Tool pack is open-source, I believe. I've seen it on Github. you can get it there and re-compile it for yourself and fix any error you might have.

Here's the link : 2



If you're not feeling it, or you don't have the knowledge for that yet, you can try this one : 

/index.php?/topic/15257-lcdevpack-teamdamona-upgraded-to-support-mysql-80/&do=embed" style="height:394px;max-width:502px;">





Max upgrade as well as starter items are both coded server-side, you can update the code, compile, and voila.

You can find more details as for what file precisely look for in the forum, just use the search function or browse manually.



As for most "traditional" EP4 tools, you can find most of them here : 2

Or you can make your own, once you figured how the client loads the files it's pretty easy.



This forum is full of free ressources, browse it wisely.



Otherwise, you can try & reach out on the Discord server : 2
