Please have a look into your syserr. Maybe it will tell you/us why it's not working.

0223 17:16:32466 :: pack/patch_m2happ_ui: Pack file does not exist
0223 17:16:00014 :: RunMain Error
But the file does exist there, with the old starter it is working just fine, im guessin the lzo key isnt the same but i didnt work for along long time with metin2 things, and im kinda rusty with it pls help a brotha in need :))

If the lzo key isn't correct it should tell you..

Please check if your new binary wants .eix/.epk files or if there should be another extension. On the other hand check which extension your pack files got.

So, the pack files are eix/epk just the path file is " file ", How do i check if the binary wants that(where should it be specified ) , im sory i dont rly get it

Have a look into "EterPack.cpp" inside your EterPack project of your clientsource.

strncpy(m_indexFileName, dbname, MAX_PATH);
strcat(m_indexFileName, ".eix");

m_stDataFileName = dbname;
m_stDataFileName += ".epk";
	
m_bReadOnly = bReadOnly;

This should be in  method "bool CEterPack::Create".

this is the system.boolean code i guess

bool CEterPack::Create(CEterFileDict& rkFileDict, const char * dbname, const char* pathName, bool bReadOnly, const BYTE* iv)
{
    if (iv)
    {
        m_stIV_Panama.assign((const char*) iv, 32);
        m_bDecrypedIV = false;
    }

    m_stPathName = pathName;

    strncpy(m_dbName, dbname, DBNAME_MAX_LEN);
    
    strncpy(m_indexFileName, dbname, MAX_PATH);
    strcat(m_indexFileName, ".xim");                        // EIX

    m_stDataFileName = dbname;
    m_stDataFileName += ".mnd";                            // EPK
    
    m_bReadOnly = bReadOnly;

    // bReadOnly 모드가 아니고 데이터 베이스가 열린다면 생성 실패
    if (!CreateIndexFile())
        return false;

    if (!CreateDataFile())
        return false;

should i change .xim and .mnd to eix nd epk ?

I've managed to make the starter work, it was as you said, bcs of the extensions, now it is telling me to start the patcher for some reason..., btw is it right to have just this in the pack folder DATA_PATCH_METIN2_HAPPINESS_CLIENT
*
patch_m2happ_mndwork
*
patch_m2happ_game_01
*
patch_m2happ_game_02
*
patch_m2happ_maps
*
patch_m2happ_properties
*
patch_m2happ_ui
