Hey everyone, This is a GRF tool I started to develop for my own personnal use, but I thought I'd share it since I've upgraded the UI. Its primary goal is to be easy to use while offering a wide variety of options and customizations. The software is quite stable and can handle large operations easily. How to install Download the zip archive provided from the download link at the bottom of this description or directly from there : http://www.mediafire.com/?aflylbhblrzpz0h Install the application with GRF Editor Installer.exe; if you are missing a .NET Framework you will be prompted to download it. Once you are done, you can start the program from the link on your desktop. Key features Overall speed is faster (or at least equal) than any GRF tool. Common operations : add, delete, merge, extract, preview, save. Undo and redo for any operation. It can open any GRF file. Clean and very interactive interface. Saving formats supported : 0x200, 0x103 and 0x102 (through the Settings page) and conversion to the Thor format. Instant filter and search options (example : "map .gat"). File association and context menus integration for .grf, .gpf, .rgz and .thor (through the Settings page). Can rebuild separated images into one file easily. Drag and drop (with the ALT key, can be modified in the Settings page). This is a big part of the software; most of the items can be moved around within the application itself or from/to Windows Explorer. Tools Sprite editor : a simple sprite editor with powerful features. Semi-transparent images can be added, you can easily change the order or replace images, etc. This tool can convert images in the wrong type by showing you multiple solutions (merging a new palette, dithering the image by using current palette, using the closest color, and a few more). Grf validation : allows you to validate a GRF with multiple settings. It can detect corrupted GRF entries, invalid sprites, empty files, non-GRF files, duplicate files and a lot more. Flat maps maker : generates flat maps from .gat and .rsw files. Useful to generate WoE maps or to fasten up the loading time. Patch maker : generates a GRF patch based on two different GRFs. Hash viewer : shows the hash code (both CRC32 and MD5) for files. Image converter : converts an image to any format requested (BMP, PNG, JPG, TGA). GrfCL : used to create batch files (.bat) which can automate tasks on GRF files. See the content in GrfCL.rar in the download for more information. This tool can be customized from the sources as well. Palette recolorer : creates new sprites by changing their colors (this tool is now deprecated). Client database editor : allows modifications of the database client files (txt and lua) with easy and simple tools. Work in progress. Grf encryption The encryption feature has been enabled again. It's similar to what it used to be and it has been tested on client versions ranging from 2012-08-01 to 2014-02-05. Some error messages will be displayed if necessary. If you have an issue, copy the error message (with the code, if there's one) and send me the client executable with the cps.dll file generated by GRF Editor. There shouldn't be compatibility issues anymore though! Thor files Thor files are patches used by Thor Patcher ( http://thor.aeomin.net/ ). Because of their similarity with the GRF file structure, they have been integrated within GRF Editor. The primary utility of this feature is that it allows you to add encrypted files to a Thor patch. All the other options can be achieved by using Thor Maker. You'll find the necessary steps below, but test your patches before sending them off to players (I've done a lot of testing on my end, but better be safe). If you're using SecureGRF, then make a new GRF, add the files and encrypt it. In GRF Editor, open the encrypted GRF you just made, use "Save as" and name the new file with a .thor extension. That's it, if you want to change the output directory, click on the root node of the project and select the tab "Container options". You can select the output mode and the GRF to merge the patch with. Simply save again if you change these properties. If you're using GRF Editor's encryption, then make a new Thor file (File > New > New Thor) and add the files you want to patch it with. Right-click on the files you want to encrypt and use Encryption > Encrypt. Technical stuff Requires .Net Framework 3.5 (SP1) Client Profile to run (3.5 or more will work as well). Automatically converts file name encoding to their proper values (you can change the encoding). Data virtualization is used as much as possible to preview files, meaning the files aren't completely loaded. Right-clicking an item will bring up the available options with that file. Preview file formats : txt, log, xml, lua, lub, bmp, png, tga, jpp, db, ebm, pal, gnd, rsw, gat, rsm, str, spr, act, imf, fna and wav. Services are "crash ready", meaning that you will be warned about a failed operation and no work will be lost (the application won't close and crash). It tries to continue operating even if it meets unsual conditions. Operations can be cancelled by clicking on the button near the progress bar. The warning level can be changed to avoid messages like "Please select a folder first." When prompted with an error, use Ctrl-C to copy the current dialog's content. Some screenshots! 1) Previewing an act file, while showing the search feature 2) Preview of a model file (rsm) 3) Preview of GrfCL with the MakeGrf command 4) Preview of maps 5) Preview of Grf validation 6) Search feature (press Ctrl-F or Ctrl-H to bring up within a text editor) Got a feedback? I'd gladly hear you out and fix issues you have with the program.

Mystic Project is about to open its last opus. For the occasion, Mystic Project has decided to make a gift to the community of rAthena and release one of its contents ! We've chosen the Battleground Extended, a memorable feature created by the eAmod and adapted for the new version of rAthena 2020. What are Battleground Extended ? They are an upgrade of the official Battleground made by the eAmod years ago and enhanced overtime. Battleground guide Name Description Flavius Same as official. The Goal is to destroy each's crystal. Flavius Capture The Flag The objective of the Flavius Battle CTF is to score 3 points before your enemy, by capture their Flag. To capture a Flag you need to take the enemy flag, and bring it to your base flag. If your base flag is captured too, you need to kill the flag carrier and take the flag back to your base. Flavius Death Match Each team has a certain number, Kill all the enemy players to let their Team without points. Protect your army. Flavius Stone Control Take the Stones in the middle of the battlefield and put in on your base, in the Stone Points. Each Stone will give points to your team. First team reach 99 points wins the game. Protect your stones from to be captured by the enemy. Tierra Eye of Storm There are two bases, North and South which teams can capture by holding position on the Base more than the other team. Each base will give you points each 5 seconds of Domination. If your Team control both bases the amount of points increases. To get additional points, in the middle there is a Flag spawn, capture it and put it on any of your team Bases. The first Team reach 99 points wins the match. Tierra Bossnia Attack the enemy base and destroy each MVP Guardian.

Each base will give you points each 5 seconds of Domination. The first Team reach 99 points wins the match. Krieger Von Midgard (KVM) Same as official, regular PVP. Double Inferno There are 2 teams in the battlefield, your team and the opposite enemies. Kill the enemy players, collect the skulls and bring them to the Sacrifice Totem to win points. You can collect your own team skulls and bring then to your Sacrifice Totem to avoid other teams to score but it won't count as points. If you get killed all your skulls will be drop to the floor, including your own skull. First Team to get 80 points wins the battle. Conquest If you are Attacking, destroy the enemy defenses and it's Flag. If you are Defending, protect your castle defenses and the Flag. Rush Fight to capture the Castle and organize your team to defend it. If you fail on the first capture, kill the defender and take it for your team. Poring Ball It is a soccer game, a poring (the ball) will be in the middle of the field. The match lasts 5min. The team that has the most goals win the game. Super Bomberman The classic game specially made in Ragnarok Online. The goal is to defeat the enemies by putting bombs that will explode on them. It is a 2vs2 version of the game. Peco Peco Racer Coming soon... Mario Kart - RO version : New Battleground Queue System Battleground Commands @joinbg will warp you only to the battleground room. (Use interface UI Battleground to join any running BG or create one) @leavebg will warp you out of the the current battleground you're in. @listenbg display or not the battleground explanations. @order is only for the leader, an huge announce will be displayed to the team. @reportafk is only for the leader, expulsing someone who is AFK. @bginfo will display all curent running BGs + amount of players + scores for each team and remaining time of the BG Battleground Skills @bgskill is used by the leader. I left it there as a memory but you better use the guild interface alt + g -> guild skill tree The leader can use the following skills: - Emergency Recall: Warp everyone from the team to the leader. - Battle Orders: All guild members visible on the guild leader screen will receive +5 STR, DEX, INT. (Now having a status icon on the right) - Regeneration: All guild members visible on the guild leader screen will increase their HP and SP regen rate. (Now having a status icon on the right) - Restore: All guild members visible on the guild leader screen will have their HP and SP restored to 90% of the respective maximum. - Chargeshout Flag: The leader will summon a guild flag. - Chargeshout Beating: Anyone in the guild can use this skill, it will warp to the guild flag IF you are on the same map as the flag. - Emergency Move: All guild members visible on the guild leader screen will receive the effect of speed potion, increasing walking speed by 25%. Kill Count Each person killed on a battlefield will be counted in your guild information. This is like a rank. In bg_common.txt, you will find this. If you already use OnPCKillEvent, I recommend you to remove this code and add it to yours. Red / Blue Teams Upon your arrival on the battlefield, you are going to see yourself in a clan (alt + g) and a guild (ctrl + g). Blue Team : http://mysticprojectro.com/wiki/images/d/d1/Clan_emblem01.jpg Red Team : http://mysticprojectro.com/wiki/images/a/a9/Clan_emblem02.jpg Each team-mate will have this emblem by their character's name. Enemies will be displaying the opposite emblem. Some battlefields will change your cloth dye as well for the attributed color but don't worry, you will get yours back as soon as the game is over. You can communicate with your team through the guild chat. When you leave the battlefield, the clan will be removed and you will be back in your actual guild. Battleground Happy Hours Battleground happy hours happen everyday from 4pm to 8pm during which, rewards obtained are increased by 60%. (Configurable in npc/battleground/bg_common.txt) Battleground Rewards Telma/Erundek NPCs from the official battleground are there to exchange Consumables / Stuff. However, some of you rather customize the rewards. It's up to you to remove Telma/Erundek. If you want to customize Rewards, here is a frame (located in bg_common.txt) made to buy stuff directly with badges. Poring Ball Youtube Video Demonstration : Ragnarok Online - DaRO : BattleGround Extended + - YouTube The original Poring Ball Map was created by us 14 years ago. (On the left). At the time, we had poor experience in mapping so my apologies if you don't find it attractive. However, you can always purchase the beautiful rework done by Olrox (on the right): https://olroxgraphics.com/index.php?/store/product/107-soccer-stadium/ Depending on which map you will pick, you need to configurate the Poring Ball. I assume you already have Olrox's map so by default, it is this configuration. If you want the free map that is included in this pack, you need to comment /* */ Olrox Poring Ball Map and remove the comment of Grenat Poring Ball Map (See orange sign) Bomberman Video Demonstration : Super Bomberman Ragnarok Online YouTube Video I've read a lot of times people asking about it ! We are releasing the new Bomberman Battleground Version with 3 bomberman maps (two of them are made by us) In bg_bomberman.txt, you will find this code. Make sure to remove it and add it to your OnPCStatCalcEvent, otherwise just leave it there. Some newer rAthena version doesn't have OnPCStatCalcEvent anymore, you may need to reinstall it. Installation : In this package, you will find : - BattlegroundExtended.diff : You will need to apply this patch. (cmd -> cd rathena -> git apply BattlegroundExtended.diff ) It has been created in 2020 and work with the latest rAthena. (Possibly working on previous version from 2018+). - NPC folder: I strongly recommend to delete all BG NPCs and only install the ones that are in this folder. It is compatible with the new BG Queue Systeme. Please review Poring Ball.txt to configurate your poring ball as well as bg_common for the happy hour rate. - DB: I did put items in txt and yml files since I don't know which version you guys are using. DO NOT copy paste in your db folder. Only take what's inside each files. - Client: Contains items/maps/texture/files/lua (for the new BG queue system)/bomberman music etc... Extract the contents inside your RO client folder. This patch modifies a lot of files, you may need to install the diff manually depending on your rAthena version. Once installed, please recompile your map_cache with the client data installed in the directory/grf the server reads to compile it. Configuration : Your server might be different than ours. This is why, it is important to configurate well the system. conf/battle/battleground.conf -> Search for battleground eAmod and configure them. db/battleground.xml -> "Color" represents the clothes palette given upon arrival on the battlefield. The player's Palette will come back to the original one when the BG is over. If you don't want players to have different cloth color, just put 0 or do not put anything at all. In our server, Color : 6 is blue, and 22 is red. Therefore, this is our configuration. I let you configure yours. Additional New Script Commands : * getnpcinfo <type>{,<char_id>} type: NPC_X: X, NPC_Y: Y * setporingball; (When activated, it would be like an OnClickedCell, almost ;), it calls a script for the poring ball (Or other things if you want to add things there). * getporingballx() / getporingbally(); (Get coordination of a clicked cell) * removeporingball; (Remove poring ball mode (Clickable cell calling a script) * getunitdir <unit_id/account_id>; (Get direction the unit is looking) * ispcsit <account_id> (Get information if a pc is sit or not) * unitpush <unit_id/account_id>,<dir>,<cells>; (Push (knockback) a specific target in a specific direction) * areaeffect( effect id, x, y); Any Questions ?
