BB 04/2005 (Ver. 1.20.4 / 50XG) Documentation

[Repflez]

I'm opening this discussion just for documentation purposes, but the BB client from the US Beta works on newserv, with some caveats.

For starters, the build is packed and has GameGuard, meaning that it can't run as is unless it's unpacked, however, my drop-in patch, AzureFlare works on it partially (patching only InitNPGameMon, but not PreInitGameMonA). Not everything is properly patched due to signatures being different. For typing, having the Japanese IME will make it work for inputting chat messages and party names.

As for the newserv, install on a new server the assets required, as per the README, because it's going to get a bit funky from when you play. It's also recommended to do everything on a new account.

There are some small differences, like items being shuffled (look at your items once on a party).
This is besides the localization being a very early one.

On the newserv side, enabling cheats like $infhp/$inftp will crash the client. I haven't tried other commands yet.

And some screens, to showcase some of what I found

I haven't tested more yet, but I wanted to open this for documentation.
Also, in case someone misses the title, the client version for patches is 50XG.
