Game Folder
The Game Folder page is where every visit starts. The other tools read from the folder you open here.
Open a folder
Section titled “Open a folder”- Click Open game folder and choose your client folder (the one with
rs.iopandmap.iop). - Allow the browser to read it.
- The page lists every pack with its size, number of entries, old copies (entries a later copy replaces) and the password that opened it.
An unpacked client (no .iop files, plain config\, resource\ and xml\ folders, like the 2021 client) opens the same way; the tools then read the loose files.
Your files are read on your PC in this tab and never uploaded. The browser remembers the folder and reopens it on the next visit when it still has permission. Open another folder switches clients; the page reloads so no tool keeps data from the old one.
Firefox and Safari show Pick game folder (read-only) instead: the folder can be read, but not reopened by itself next time.
Pack passwords
Section titled “Pack passwords”Packs are encrypted with a password that differs per region. The tools already know the passwords of the regions found in the shared sources and try them on every pack.
If a pack shows Unknown password, your client uses its own. Add it under Pack passwords (Add password, then save) and the packs are read again. Your own passwords are tried first and stay in this browser only. Do not post private pack passwords on Discord or in issues.
Loading
Section titled “Loading”- Load what a tool needs (recommended): opening the folder is quick and each tool reads what it uses the first time you open it. On big clients Heroes, Items, Quests or the model index can take from a few seconds to a minute the first time.
- Load everything after opening the folder: one longer wait up front (a few minutes on big clients, every visit), then every tool opens at once. Wrong passwords and unreadable entries show up straight away. Uses much more memory; on a PC with little memory the tab can get slow or be closed by the browser.
- Load everything now runs the full load once. It can be cancelled from the loading card.
