Hello,
I’ve been closely following this project and working on personal improvements in a local branch. I used to play Metin2 a long time ago, and after studying software and AI engineering, I'm now revisiting the game purely as a hobby, exploring ways to improve or modernize it.

While analyzing the source code and making small changes to understand the system, I realized that every change I make on the server side must also be reflected on the client side. Specifically, when modifying the mob_proto and item_proto files, I need to handle these separately for each language version (e.g., TR, EN).

However, with the various proto dump tools I’ve tried, I’ve encountered issues where parts of the alchemy system and other in-game texts disappear after dumping and reimporting the files.

That’s why I’m currently looking for a reliable proto dumper that’s compatible with the current client version and doesn’t result in data loss. Can you recommend any such tool?
