Working as of June 2012 (I will update this thread if the program ever breaks)! Please reply to the thread with feedback!
For those of you with hexacore processors, you'll have to download RAF Manager at the (in-development) website, here: http://24.6.46.20/raf/
Note: You need to unzip files before you drop them into RAF Manager!!!
RAF Manager allows you to replace the resource files of League of Legends. RAF Manager also supports a scripting language which allows for other things such as conditional packing, or modification of configuration files. RAF Mount allows users to mount the League of Legends resource files (*.raf) as Virtual Hard Drives. Starting from version 1.6.0, RAF Manager's packing mechanism is multithreaded!

1.1 Introduction to RAF Manager RAF Manager is an application which permits users to modify the League of Legends Client's resource files, which are contained in RAF Archives (Riot Archive Format Archives). This permits users to modify the appearance of their client, through means such as changing the texture files of characters, which defines what the character's coloring looks like. Other things you can do include changing the colors of minions, their colors on the minimap, changing the visual appearance of the HUD, changing the text displayed by the game, and so on and so forth. In other words, RAF Manager lets you do a lot =) While there is no red post in this thread, I have spoken to multiple rioters about the application, and it is in no way something which they seem to want to clamp down on any time soon =) The use of RAF Manager is not a ban-able offense (nor can it be easily detected by the client). |

2.1 Installing RAF Manager Installing RAF Manager is as simple as downloading its executable + other files associated with it. Simply go to http://www.ItzWarty.com/RAF/ and download the RAF Manager binaries. RAF Manager is guaranteed clean (Imagine the trouble I'd be in if it wasn't!) Important Note: For some clients (Presumably those who have UAC on) RAF Manager won't run properly. For example, the user will not have pack operations working properly. To remedy this, go to the League of Legends folder, right click it->Security->Advanced (button) ->Owner->Edit Take ownership of the League of Legends directory... or the Riot Games directory. Also, try to run RAF Manager as an administrator. 2.1.1 How to use RAF Manager: Note: I still recommend you back up your C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\projects\lol_game_client\filearchives folder The guide on using RAF Manager is now located within the RAF Manager client! Go to About->Simple Guide. Note that YOU MUST close RAF Manager before going in game, or it will crash. After packing, you must RESTART the game client in its entirety, including the AIR Client!!! You may also view JumpInThePack's tutorial on RAF Manager: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLwme0ML6oA In addition, I am creating video guides on how to use RAF Manager. See: http://youtube.com/ItzWarty/ 2.1.2 How to Uninstall Skins with RAF Manager: 1) Start RAF Manager 2) Open your previous project, or just create a new one and put your skins in. 3) Uncheck the checkboxes for the skins you want to uninstall 4) File->Pack 2.1.3 How to dump files/directories from the RAF Archive Note: This uses the same code as RAF Packer/Dumper, so dumping 0.0.0.25 can take from 10 to 20 minutes. There is a tree-view on the left, that shows the contents of the RAF Archives. Find whatever you want to dump [select an archive, directory, or file], right click->Dump. |

Release Notes Version 1.6.0 (10 December 2011, 3:07 pm pst) - RAF Manager is now multithreaded. You can configure how many threads RAF Manager uses through the "options" tab. It defaults to how many logical processors your computer has. - RAF Manager's Update GUI nonstop while working thing is disabled now. Useless printlines took some time to write to the buffer. - RAF Manager's "whine about file names" thing is now an option which is automatically disabled. You can also enable this through the "options" tab. |

FAQ League of Legends crashes after running RAF Manager and changing files: File handles weren't released properly by RAF Manager. Simply close RAF Manager, and if that fails, restart your computer. It will work after. Can I be banned for using RAF Manager? No, Riot remains pretty neutral on the topic of modding their game. If anything, though, they seem very open to it. The RAF Manager thread has been here for half a year. Riot has not moved or deleted it. When I packed a skin, it crashed my game. What can I do? A while back, Riot changed the structure of a lot of their resource files. Not all older client mods will work nowadays. How can I get more support for RAF Manager? Contact me at Http://www.Twitter.com/ItzWarty/ How can I suggest features to RAF Manager? Simply reply to this thread! How can I donate to you? I don't take donations! I truly appreciate the support I get for RAF Manager. Every few games I will have a conversation similar to: "Hey, weren't you the one who wrote RAF Manager?" "Yes" "Thank you so much!" RAF Manager crashes due to a "File Handle" error If another application is referencing the LoL Archive files (such as the game/air clients themselves), then RAF Manager won't be able to operate on them. RAF Manager needs to be the only application working on the files, when it is run. Quote:
