Thor Patcher - rise-saw/rathena-pt-br GitHub Wiki

Thor Patcher is a third-party software developed by Aeomin back in 2007. It's a Patcher designed to download update files from a Web Server directly to a Player client folder, placing all designed files in the correct folders and sub-folders or GRFs.

Thor uses a .thor proprietary format which can be way better compressed than GPFs or RGZs.

Files

After downloading one of the appropriate versions of Thor, a series of folders are included in the package, the relevant ones are:

• Additional Skins\
  • An extra Skin included by Aeomin as an alternative option to the default one.
• Patcher\
  • Thor.exe is the main file and the one that will be distributed to Players.
• Tools\
  • CheckSum useful to get Hash of the files you're dealing with, you'll have to keep this one if you want to update your Patcher and/or Client using the designed functions for it.
  • ThorGenerator.exe used to make .thor files, it's highly obsolete now that GRF Editor supports the creation of .thor files, and it's way more efficient in doing so.
• Web\
  • main.ini will be the file which will communicate to the patcher from your web host, where the files will be stored.
  • plist.txt will list the files to be downloaded by the patcher.

Known Issues

• Version 2.6.4.8 is stable but can't open the Client unless it's run with Admin Privileges.
• Version 2.6.4.13b is stable but can't update itself through its own patches.
