pre-release download linkpath info

THIS IS RELEVANT ONLY TO THE PLAYERS ABLE TO PLAY TESPIA. go to maplestoryt.nexon.net[official tespia website] and login, if your redirected back to the maplestory.nexon.net page you are not able to play tespia]

tespia should be online tonight or tomorrow morning. for those who have the google chrome download glitch where you cannot download the tespia files use this link.

once tespia goes online this link will work, nexon hasnt uploaded the files yet ->http://download2.nexon.net/Game/MapleStoryT/FullVersion/MSSetupTv104.exe

as with every tespia link thread I post people think its not a maplestory website. please keep in mind its nexon.net, the official maplestory website address.

install the files[it takes forever ]

then go into your nexon folder in your program files folder - now enter your tespia folder, find "gamelauncher", right click it, and send it to your desktop as a shortcut.

EDIT: "[company who owns maple, darn censor]" = Nexon. I'm not sure why Mr.Basil censors this, Moderators don't hurt me please
EDIT#2: arrgh no back slashes?o.o

now right click the gamelauncher shortcut on your desktop and click on "properties", in the "shortcut" tab on this new window you should see a box labeled "target" that says "C:[company who owns maple, darn censor][backslash]MapleStoryTespia[backslash]MapleStoryT.exe"<- remove the [ ] from it, darn censor . this is what you need to edit. delete the "C:[company who owns maple, darn censor][backslash]MapleStoryTespia[backslash]MapleStoryT.exe" and paste in
"C:[company who owns maple, darn censor][backslash]MapleStoryTespia[backslash]MapleStoryT.exe GameLaunching" [yes there is a space between .exe and gamelaunching, it's intentional]

once you apply the changes, you now have your tespia launcher. double click the game launcher and it will open up a game launcher similiar to the official GMS client, just click play, and it will open up your maplestory client, simply login, and your connected to the tespia servers.

Felt like throwing this thread up before tespia goes online/I get too involved in cannon shooters and mostly before mr.basil takes off thread creating once tespia goes up

have any questions?comments?feel free to share

EDIT#3: for people who don't beleive tespia will be online tonight or tomorrow morning. this is the typical tespia schedule

[10.24.2011] Tespia is now closed. See you next time!
[10.20.2011] Tespia is open again!
[10.20.2011] Tespia is under maintenance.
[10.19.2011] Tespia is now open.

thats a 5 day period of testing. now, considering that was for the fellowship patch, and this is for an entire character /new area testing we should have similiar time schedules. today is 11/30, the gms patch is 12/6 so we have 11/30 until 12/5 to test the patch, which is appropriate considering other past tespias were roughly a week long with the exception to the whopping 3 day big bang tespia[lol]
