**TUTORIAL ON TRIAD PATCHER VER 1.3.0.3
TUT BY: MASTERLEGIT**

I was asking around and i forgot who it was (please post if you told me about this for credit on finding this) but i got this great updater from them at this website called Triad Patcher:
[http://www.nitroconcept.net/produits/triad/index_eng.php](http://www.nitroconcept.net/produits/triad/index_eng.php)

Here is the download link: [http://www.nitroconcept.net/produits/triad/release/TriadPatcher_v1.3.0.3.rar](http://www.nitroconcept.net/produits/triad/release/TriadPatcher_v1.3.0.3.rar)

Here is what it looks like at first: 

Here is the skin I redid it with to match my game: 

Also here is a tutorial for the updater in case you need assistance: [http://www.nitroconcept.net/produits/triad/howto.php](http://www.nitroconcept.net/produits/triad/howto.php)

I believe this is a great system because you can host your files online and they download them there (some examples of this is your own personal host or internet host such as [http://www.fileden.com/](http://www.fileden.com/))

You can also add html into the text box for news and other information from websources which you can upload to such as [http://www.googlepages.com/](http://www.googlepages.com/) These will help you upload the files such as the news and triad patcher.ini files to a webserver for the .exe to read from

**STEP 1:**

alright so basically you open the config.ini within the default folder under configurator then change it to look like this:

;Triad Patcher - Fichier de configuration
                - Configuration file

; NOTE:
;  Triad Patcher.exe, GRF.dll et Config.tpc doivent impérativement être dans le meme repertoire que le fichier executable de votre client Ragnarok Online.
;  Triad Patchet.exe, GRF.dll and Config.tpc must be into the same directory than the executable file of your Ragnarok Online client.

**STEP 2:**

Alright the next step is to make the .exe file, go to the configurator folder again and open up the Triad Configurator.exe and then place the languages.ini and config.ini into the correct boxes, then click the Build the output file at the bottom, this will give you a .tpc file

-now take the Triad Patcher.exe, the GRF.dll file and the new .tpc file and place them all into your client folder

Now the Triad Patcher.exe file should work (you can rename it whatever you want with the .exe at the end of the name)

**STEP 3:**

Go to the "Packer" folder and open the Triad Packer.exe

Here click the add button and add all the files you would like updated by the update server make sure to include folder directorys for the client (in example a tileset1.bmp would have to be added: GFX/tileset1.bmp) if you don't do this the files will all be in one folder and your client executable program will not work

Next save a file list to the packer folder so you can have a backup for later and then pack the files to an easy to find location such as your desktop

The new file should be whatever you saved it .tpp (lets say i saved it as Patch1.0 it would be called Patch1.0.tpp on my desktop) This file will need to be uploaded to a direct upload source _Find a source like this and then upload it to that source. Next take the url of the file and place it into the patchs_list.ini file as shown:

; Liste des patches - Patchs list

; 0 = Non, 1 = Oui
; 0 = No, 1 = Yes
[options]

;Interdire la récupération des patches
;Deny the patchs downloading
deny_getpatch = 0

;Interdire le lancement de Ragnarok
;Deny the launching of Ragnarok
deny_play = 0 ;Chemin du répertoire des patches
;URL of Patchs directory
;INUTILE - USELESS
;patchs_directory = ; http://adresse/patch = 0 ou 1 (0 = Ne pas installer, 1 = Installer)
; http://location/patch = 0 or 1 (0 = Do not install, 1 = Install)
; Ex: http://www.no-ip.com/Triad_00.tpp = 1
[patchs]
**STEP 4:**
Host this patch_list.ini on a hosting directory (i used googlepages.com again just like the news.html file we uploaded earlier)

Now attempt to open your Triad Patcher.exe in your client folder and see if it works correctly with all of your files and settings

EDIT!!!!!: Easiest and best way to host files I've found is with mediafire, yes mediafire

Here is how to make it work:
1) It will make the process a lot easier if you are using Mozilla Firefox and download this: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/26](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/26) this will make it possible to copy the source url to files which is what direct file hosting is

2) Upload your .tpp files to mediafire

3) Download the .tpp file regularly and then right click on the file in the status download bar and click "Copy Source URL" which will give you a direct link to the file

4) Then just add the .tpp link into your Patchs_list.ini file and upload that to the correct place for your updater to work!

Hope this tutorial helped you if it didn't tell me what im missing thanks!
