RagnarokOnline Patcher Lite (codename: RSU)

(c) 2009-2012 Ai4rei/AN
====================================================================
== About ===========================================================
Replacement for Gravity's Patcher. Works faster and doesn't consume
your entire memory for just seeing it crashing, aside from this, it
works almost exactly as the official patcher does, so that it
shouldn't break, unless Gravity changes something vital to their
patcher. It also protects from some remote attacks, present in
official patcher's rgz processing code.
== Release Notice ==================================================
This is a release with fixed patch information. You are encouraged
to report experienced crashes and/or misbehaviour to the related
board topic.

== Usage ===========================================================
RSU does not require any installation. Minimum required files for
running are rsu.exe and rdata.grf. You should also add an existing
patchRE.inf to avoid entire re-patching of the grf.
The patch process will start after clicking button 'Start' and can
be aborted at any time by pressing 'Cancel' unless the button is
disabled. The patch process is completed once the message 'Patch
process completed' or any kind of failure is displayed in the status
line and the 'Cancel' buttons turns into 'Close'.
If you press 'Close' while SHIFT key is held, downloaded patches
will be preserved.
== Command Line Parameters =========================================
The official patcher supports (and/or supported) certain command
line parameters, that have been adapted in RSU. Those starting with
'/' are adapted from first official patcher (the one without skins),
the others from second and current official patcher (with skins).
/test Allows to bypass 'deny' in 'patch_allow.txt', which is
set during maintenance on official servers, to prevent
you from patching. It is not recommended to use it,
unless you really know, what you are doing, since you
might receive corrupted or invalid patches, that aren't
available later.
/repak Forces complete rebuild of the main GRF archive
reclaiming all wasted space. Note, that this process may
take a while for larger archives and you must have at
least same amount of space free, as the main GRF archive
takes up. The patcher asks you automatically about
repacking, once too much wasted space is detected inside
the archive.
donut Same as /test.
Following command line parameters are not in official patchers.
/autostart Makes the patcher start the patch process automatically
instead of waiting for you to press start. Intended for
shortcut usage.
/testpak Tests the entire main GRF archive for errors, like
invalid header, file table or corrupt files. Note, that
this process may take a while for larger archives and it
is normal that an amount of about 3~15 files do not work
correctly. The client doesn't bother about it, since it
doesn't check for any extraction errors from uncompress.
Note: In older releases this switch was called /test,
due to an initial misconception.
== Updating & Removal ==============================================
For updating you have to check the website for newer versions. Just
overwrite the old files with the new ones.
If you no longer want to use the patcher, simply delete rsu.exe,
asrdll.dll (optional), associated docs and any possible plugins. RSU
does not store any user data in the registry or anywhere else.
== Disclaimer ======================================================
The executable ( rsu.exe ) is guarantied virus/spyware/callback-free
when downloaded from it's primary location ( nn.nachtwolke.com ).
This DOES NOT apply to any mirror, that might be provided for this
download.
You use the application at YOUR OWN RISK. You are always encouraged
backup your data before using this beta release, especially the main
GRF. I'm not liable for any direct or indirect damages on software
or hardware ( including, but not limited to data loss, corruption,
crashes ), that may arise from using this piece of software. If you
don't agree with this, delete this application entirely.
