Title: Xfire Guide: Renewed, with lesser eyesploding screenshots.
Post by: Cerezoss on February 04, 2008, 09:31:44 am

I apologize in advance for the Dutchness in my screenshots.
Thank you.

What use has Xfire:

Quote from: Cerezoss

Xfire, by itself, registers the amount of time you have spent while playing a game.
However, in order to make Xfire register your playtime, you need to have it
running on the background.
Xfire allows you to comunicate with other Xfire users as well, but unlike other games,
you can't integrate Xfire into Ragnarok in terms of chatting with your Xfire contacts.
Also, using Xfire, you can takes creenshots, which are automaticly uploaded to your
Xfire profile page.  However, this function is also unavavailable in Ragnarok.

Step one: - Getting started

Quote from: Cerezoss

Sigh up for an account and download your Xfire client at
www.xfire.com
Naturally, when the download has finish, run the Xfire-Setup.
Start up your Xfire client for the first time and let it run its automatic updates.

Step two: - Renaming files

Quote from: Cerezoss

Open up your RO folder, or any folder you have saved AnthemRO in.
Usually, it’s “C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO”.
Find your ‘Ragnarok’ and ‘Ragexe’ files and add a ‘ – ‘ to their names.
( ‘Ragnarok-‘ and ‘Ragexe-‘ )

In case you’re using Dyefire: Rename your ‘Dyefire’ file ‘Ragexe’.
In case you don’t use Dyefire: Rename your ‘Anthem’ file ‘Ragexe’.

In both cases, rename the ‘AnthemPatch’ file ‘Ragnarok’.

Step three: - Shortcuts

Quote from: Cerezoss

In case you’re dealing with Dyefire:
Any shortcuts you have made will need to have their goal address changed.
Right-click a Dyefire shortcut.
:::Apply the same actions on every AnthemPatch shortcut as well:::

Start up Dyefire and press the ‘Configuration’ button.

Select ‘client’ and rename the current address ,AnthemPatch.exe, into
‘Ragnarok.exe’.

Step four: - Making Anthem work with Xfire

Quote from: Cerezoss

If you’ve fully installed Xfire, and properly made it update itself, it’s
time to make the magic happen.
Start up Xfire and select ‘Friends’.
Now select ‘Detect Games’ on the right side of your Xfire window.

A small window will pop up.
From there, select ‘Games’.
Click ‘uninstalled games’ and press the ‘R’ key on your keyboard.
This should bring you to the Games which starts with an ‘R’.
As you click Ragnarok, select the ‘Manual’ option.
Find Ragnarok, and fill in as shown in the screenshot.

You have finished the guide, all should be working as it should.

You're allowed to say anima because for one this server used to be and is still thought to be anima by some players and two you can advertise dead servers since they are dead.

I'll think about stickying this if you make the guide a bit more user friendly (and if more members show interest in XFire).  By "more user friendly," there are a bunch of possibilities, such as breaking the "wall of text" format you have now into easier to follow steps.  Also, there are some spelling errors in your post that would need to be fixed.

This will always be Anima, much to the delight of some and chagrin of others.

I'm on it, removing the spelling errors, but it's still going to be a wall of text.

Gah, photobucket's under maintenance, it'll take a while till I can upload the newer, better
looking screenshots.

Maybe you can explain a litte about what xfire is?
I've been using it for a long time and personally could go without it >.<

I'm surprised there's not much interest, because for those who use it. It's a problem.

If you don't use it... You should Dx

Hmm, ok let's see... Ah, one way I use it for Raganrok is to determine when my friends are playing. This helps as my good mate and his brother play on a shared account. Now, I don't like his brother so I can check when his playing to avoid arkward confrontations.
Also, most of my close friends use this as opposed to msn, I guess that doesn't affect you =/
Not so much Ragnarok, but joining say, Counter Strike servers that my friends are playing is a matter of pressing "join game". Not to mention being able to view their frags and bag the shit outta them =P

Probebly the best and most defining feature is the ability to Instant Message in-game. It is so convenient =D No alt-tabbing lag crap. Especially when I'm playing a high resource game such as Battlefield 2, F.E.A.R, Crysis etc.

Um, what else... Er, logging of game hours if that's interesting? Records screenshots for you, and you can use voIP or whatever, like teamspeak I guess.

Etc etc...
Unless you prefer msn >.>
Did I mention the program takes little resources to run?

Ok so, there's limited uses for soul Ragnarok players, but for all round gamers... It's pretty damn handy.
