Installation Guide

A walkthrough on how to install PandaTO on Windows. The installation and Patch are 'manual' meaning you have to unzip and copy paste the files.

## **Download & Install**

### 1. Register Account

Visit PandaTO's website (http://panda-trickster.com/) and create an account. Click on 'Register' and enter your account details in the popup and Register.

Note: You are only able to login through the website once a character has been created. When registering for an account, the password is limited to 10 characters max.

### 2. Taming your Antivirus

The game's files are often flagged as a ***false positive*** by most antiviruses, especially Windows Defender. Therefore before downloading and installing the game, you must protect your files from being deleted by your antivirus. On your computer create a folder and whitelist/exclude this folder in your Antivirus. This folder will be where you download the game. Alternatively you can disable all your antiviruses during the download and installation process. Although mostly likely you will still need to whitelist your Trickster folder when you re-enable your Antiviruses.

### 3.Download Files

Download the PandaTO Folder from the website under the heading "Download+" or click here

The download link for the latest patch is in #trickster-announcement in Discord. This will also download the latest Client.

* Client
* Latest Patch
* Game Data

### 4. Install

Unzip the files. If installing in a different location, make sure that folder location is also whitelisted in your antivirus.

### 5. Manual Patch & Auto Patching

**Patches can be now found directly through our Discord server instead of the website.**

Find and download the Patch Zip folder under #trickster-announcements.

Drag the files; data & trickster.exe from the patch folder into your current PandaTO folder and **replace** both files.

**Tutorial: Manual Patching**

There you will download and extract the zip folder into your PandaTO folder.

**Tutorial:**
**The auto patcher can be found in PandaTO's discord server, under the topic #announcements.**

## **Troubleshoot**

On this page you will find common problems people run into with Trickster.

### Can't Log Into The Website

You will not be able to log into the website and access 'Galder Myshop' if your account has no character created on it. Please note your forum account and your game/website account are different. Therefore **ensure that you are logging into the website (http://panda-trickster.com/) and not the forum**. If the problem still persists, please contact an Administrator to change your account details.

### Error [60003]

Can't log into the Game, and you get 'Error [60003]'. This means you're typing your account details incorrectly. Password reset is available through the website.

### "Can't Access The Server"

Either the server is down for maintenance, or you probably have an outdated **trickster.exe** file. Download the new Trickster.exe and replace the outdated one in your folder. The download link can usually be found on Discord in the #tips-and-guide channel.

### First Time Login - Client Freeze

If your client freezes and nothing happens when you login, this probably means you have an outdated **trickster.exe** file. Download the new Trickster.exe and replace the outdated one in your folder. The download link can usually be found on Discord in the #trickster-Client channel.

### Character Creator - File Found!

You get this kind of error at the Character Creation Screen "No data\UI\_nori\CharCreateUI\_1920.ucf File Found!" or "No data\UI\_nori\_InstructionUI\_1600.ucf File Found!"

It means you're using a custom resolution and certain files are missing. To solve this you can either; add the files in manually or go back to using the default resolution when using the character creator.

**Manual Solution:**
**1. Find UI\_nori Folder:** Navigate to your UI\_nori folder, which is located inside the data folder where you installed PandaTO Trickster Online. For example: C:\Ntreev USA\Trickster Online\data\UI\_nori
**2. Locate Default Resolution Files:** Use Search for all files and folders that have the number 1024 in it. Also check the folder intro\_img, some files will not show up in the search.
**3. Backup Default Resolution Files:** Copy those files to a temporary folder (as back-up).
**4. Create Custom Resolution Files:** Now rename these files to the resolution you want. For example, I renamed CharCreateUI\_1024.nri toCharCreateUI\_1600.nri Make sure to rename every file to the **custom width only**, this ensures that there are no instruction errors when changing maps or screen images.

### Bugged EXP Bar

EXP Bar is over 100% but your level doesn't change. This is purely a visual bug and means your gulim14.fnt2 file is outdated.

Download the new gulim14.fnt2 and replace in your data folder.
