[UNOFFICIAL] Rystore - Ryzom launch pad and configuration backup / restore

[dsx1138]

Links seem to be down, this tool looks like it will solve my crash-on-exit headaches

Link is down. I am glad someone came up with this. The flag debacle was, well, a debacle.

Links should work again. Sorry for the temporary downtime.

Thanks for the link updates, it seems to work great so far, though it's curious that a char name appears in list that I didn't create. My char is Drakhan, but "R2ed_drakhan" also appears.

Hehe, yeah that's your Ring editor configuration. I never visited the Ring editor, so I wasn't aware the game created this kind of configuration.

I could probably add some filter to the code to filter out Ring configs, but maybe it's not so bad if you can backup these configs as well.

""Rystore will create a "Rystore" folder in your "My Documents" folder. That's where it will copy all your character's configuration files if you manually backup them. I don't recommend to delete or rename files or folders in this folder."

I would suggest creating a folder within the Ryzom directory or just putting the backups in the save directory. One of the best things about Ryzom is copying the entire Ryzom folder over to a USB thingie, DVD or whatever and bringing it with you wherever you go w/o havingto reinstall or search the HD for "other" files. I keep a current copy of my Ryzom folder on my USB thingie and take it wherevere I go, ready to copy to a hotel PC, friend's PC, office PC whatever.

What I have been doing since the patch that introduced this bug is simply zip the files to "save[date].zip" right within the save folder and simply unzip to restore any time they get fudged.

I launched Ryzom with this last night, played for a few hours and managed to quit without a crash... I just tried to do it again and wound up starting the process of getting a 183.4MB patch. Upon being told there was no new patch today I exited, restarted with my old-fashioned ryzom.exe, and wound up needing just an 11MB patch - probably to fix whatever I'd just been allowing to happen.

Not sure if the issue was caused by Rystore or my fruitcake of a computer, but I figured it was worth a mention.

Edit: Tried launching with Rystore again the following day and it worked just fine, so I think I'll blame the Ryzom background downloader.

Hiya Tshael,

Rystore just runs the "client_ryzom_rd.exe" in your Ryzom folder, just as if you ran it from windows explorer.

There's no other "magic" happening in Rystore, so I doubt it can influence the way the background patching mechanism works.

Since the game is back, I haven't seen the patcher download *anything* here on my system, and I'm logging on at least once a day. So I believe there hasn't been any bug fixes / patches released by the new devs yet.

But yeah, its kinda weird other people report actually downloading files for patch, I heard this from a number of players now.

I could really use this utility!

I downloaded the "light" version as I already have .Net running - I think it's 3.5. I put Rystore.exe in the Ryzom folder, created a shortcut to the desktop, but no character appears. Start, re-start, nothing.

I run 64 bit Vista. I'm wondering if this is because I don't have a "My Documents" folder - or at least a folder with that name. Or if the Net Framework version differences are to blame.

Is there something you can suggest other than "get rid of Vista"?

Thank you!

Katore
