De-Censor Patch v1.3

This patch will revert all censored armor models of the EU/US version to the JP/KR originals. After comparing the checksums of the files, I found out only Elin and Castanic armors differ between the western and eastern versions, so the patch only replaces files that differ binary.

For general information about the patches, see this post.

Known issue:  Elin body not visible on race select screen. This is due to a difference between EU/US and KR clients, it seems the Korean client doesn't use a hi-res texture on race select screen, so it is missing. Character creation and game still work fine, though.

Changelog:
2013.08.23 | 1.3 | Files updated
2013.05.13 | 1.2 | Update to latest version
2013.02.14 | 1.1 | Update to TERA: Rising

Japanese Cutscenes 1.2

This patch replaces the sound of the cutscenes with the ones from the Japanese client. Since the opening differs between the versions, it will not be patched.
You have the choice to disable the intro completely though, making the game load faster without you having to spam ESC.

For general information about the patches, see this post.

Because of localization differences, the Japanese voicing will differ in wording, but the general idea should be the same. Install this one if you simply love Japanese and want to hear it instead of the English voiceover.

Should there be enough interest, I can expand this one (or make alternative packages) to replace the German and French NPC voiceovers, as well.

Changelog:
2013.08.23 | 1.2 | Added the latest cutscene
2013.02.14 | 1.1 | Update to TERA: Rising
2013.01.18 | 1.0 | Initial release

Japanese NPC Voices 1.2

This patch replaces the English NPC voice files with the ones from the Japanese client.
Install this one if you simply love Japanese and want to hear it instead of the English voices.
As a side effect, it makes Elins actually sound like their age. Do note that player voice files are identical across versions.

For general information about the patches, see this post.

Changelog:
2013.08.23 | 1.2 | Added new voice files
2013.04.09 | 1.1 | Adds patching of German/French voice files (TERA EU only)
2013.01.18 | 1.0 | Initial release (TERA: Rising compatible)

About this blog

After getting tired of having to fumble with files to keep my copy of TERA uncensored,
I decided to write a set of installers which would do the work for me. These installers automatically create a backup of the original files, restoring them on uninstall.

This way, all you have to do is uninstall the mod before updating your game and re-install afterwards. Since this is pretty handy, I decided to share it with others.

No more
- jumping through several directories
- backing up more than you should or
- having to painstakingly rename several dozens of files
- accidentally overwriting the originals
- getting stuck with checksum errors
- getting forced to re-download the whole game

All you have to do is point the installer to your TERA root directory.
The mods work on both EU and US clients, as far as I could test.
If you don't trust the installers... there are a couple of other people providing zipped versions.

Warning:
The patches are NOT compatible with any other de-censor/cutscene/voice patches you might have downloaded elsewhere. If you want to use these, make sure you have removed all the other versions before applying mine else you WILL break your TERA installation. You have been warned.

Disclaimer: 
The installers are provided "as is", use these at your own risk. Modifying client files is against the Terms of Service/EULA. If you manage to break your installation, there will be no support from EnMasse or Gameforge. I do not claim to own any of the packaged files, the rights belong to their respective owners.
