The lastest files is not that -useful- maybe (which side panel has more uses than showing the recent things?), but one of the main attractions that rathena has, is the -Downloads Section- I remember that day when you guys enabled it. It was a boom. That was a heavy reason of all the members that migrated here. Also the download section is maybe one of the most visited areas. I mean when I allways check some files on there, there are allways sometimes 10 guys browsing that forum, like. In conclusion: If something on the forum is visited frequently, a side panel that shows what is new under that forum, is not unnecessary. Also, I'm sure that a new recent download release arouses interest among the users. More than even, a recent topic.

The forums were set offline (meaning no one could post), then we made a SQL backup, and did the IPB upgrades. No posts or forum data should have been lost. Fixed. Thanks! but I forgot to mention that the -lastest files- is missing too :'[ We love that one.

What an amazing feature. There are a lot of possibilities with this, for ex. Making a custom world map release, created and maintaned by a group of mappers. Expanding the world With new fields/dungeons levels progresive updates every day even. It will be like a cooperative work, just like how the emu is maintaned with the SVN. Not to mention how great a map would look, by being made of a mix of skills of all the mappers around. I would sign on this... but, I can't code those languages. Anyway any people interested and if they have time, should sign on this project. The whole community will benefit as the example I said. Not to mention, all other possibilities. Edit: Btw, Syouji, it wouldn't be better if you move this one on the -projects- forum? I think devs are more active on those areas than here.

Sure, you can check here Though for this kind of edition, you have to only -patch- your server GRF, with all the files I included in the -data- folder of the pack.

"Recent revisions" doesn't appears anymore :'(

Hi! I'm pleased to read that from someone like you. You have a lot of talent, I just noticed recently that incredible work you do with your releases with those sprites, maps, and scripts all included. Great work with a lot of dedication really. Really thanks for that rating. I have some new work almost ready to show, in the upcoming days.

Thank you my friend. What a coincidence that you were thinking about this, at the time I was doing this edition! Oh thank you I appreciate every rating, though I'm used to score 10! or 9.5! this is my first 8, and I wanna know why! Err Just kidding, though, reasons are allways welcome.

Hi, I'm sorry but I can't speak french. You should use google translate, just copy the text inside the INSTRUCTIONS.txt. Those are easy steps to install the map. It was down right? haha sorry I didn't notice it at the time (so busy actually) but it is back again. Thanks Magnetix and yeah, trees often blocks some views... Geez , I'm sorry LOL I oftenly like to add things on high alltitude when we talk about trees D: To all: Thanks for the big amount of downloads. This edition was a sucess!. In exchange I'm planning to continue a release I'm doing now that I'm almost done with 2 request I had. A release that includes extensive work among -custom models- that I often do only on my most expensive services... that I will release as an example of this type of work, as also in exchange of the big support from all of the community all this time. And it will be free. Stay in tune.

Thank you. Yes I really enjoyed adding those effects. I just tried to increase the experience of a destroyed town with everything I had Thank you! Hi Syouji, I'm glad to know that you like my work that much. To tell you the truth I was thinking the same. At the beginning I enjoyed the "calm/relax" style of a desolated destroyed town (crows, wind blowing effects here), but I turned out that concept to make it look as a "destroyed recently" town (fire, earthquake effects here). At the end I mixed the two concepts, dunno If if I did the right decition. I know about the torch effect you say, but I wanted to try a new effect instead of that one that is used commonly. Mainly because I wanted to give the feeling as "burning roof/walls" of the houses. I know at the price of making the map more agresive, but the torch effect would not give me that feeling I was seeking for sure. I think that the current effect would be perfect, If I could change its size. I would do it smaller really, but as you know we are missing methods to change an effect size. In that case I would add -smoke- too. But anyway. I'm glad that you like it. Thanks a lot! About the models, those are same models of prontera, with custom textures I did by myself to make it look as ruins.

Thanks pal Hey, haha. Thanks! stay in tune for the upcoming new work! Exactly, those are the Ashes! I have played that game before. Good one. Warning, amazing stuff is coming! Thanks!. And yeah I will keep those effects. Oh hi :3! Oh did you see the effect on the video? great. haha. Thanks a lot for those words.

@Mysterious: Yeah in the video it is hard to notice. But... I uploaded the images in High Resolution. If you hit the image links to maximize and view them in full size, I'm sure that you will notice Anyway that effect, was the reason I added, those. Wind blowing sounds effect, to increase that feeling. It is sad that it is hard to notice on the video, but at least, it is possible to see those, on the images at full size. @williamll: Thank you

Hi!.Well yes gats are not ready, I'm still on that! It took a while, yeah. May I ask (also to all the people), if you could see the ashes blowing effect? I'm so dissapointed... it is really hard to notice that one on the video. But in game it is easy to notice.

Briefing & Concept Hi. It has been a long time since I posted something here. Don't take me wrong I'm allways mapping every day; and now better than ever...! I have tons of great work to show you all for this month, the bad part is that it came all among at the same time, thats why I have been, really busy these days. Anyway I thought that it was a good idea to show this one, as a recent work, so as to be not that innactive around the board. This is a request under the cathegory of: "Main Town Editions" of my services. I don't remember exactly which was the last prontera edition I posted here, but I'm glad that I'm back into this cathegory to show you something. About the map: The idea of this map is, a Prontera Ruins. I know, maybe you have seen a prontera edition of this style before. I remember one or two. My idea with this prontera was, to make a ruined prontera, but with real -prontera ruins models- I mean, my intention was, to make the feeling that you are really visiting a destroyed prontera, that was destroyed recently. You will notice a lot of texturized prontera models, to make them look like destroyed models. Yeah I used a lot of magenta transparency to make Ruined holes on the roofs, walls, PS brushes with scratchs styles etc. Also, I added a lot of custom sounds (burning flames custom sound effect, crows sound effect...) Also I added visual effects as: Ashes (to increase the feeling of a burned or destroyed desolated area), earthquake effect, and burning flames. Please, check the video in HD to see how the effects looks on the map. I'm afraid that the quality is not that good to show how nice the ashes blowing effect looks as how they look in real game, but you can Maximize the Images here And you will notice the effect for sure Video of This map Watch it in HD 720p! Again, please watch it, SS dont show all the effects I added! Prontera Edition, tried to keep the basic walkways all among the map Map in daymode, but with a lot of dark tones Added fog in this one. Black fog when you zoom out the camera, gives a really destroyed area feeling Custom models from scratch (just a little, those pikes barricades), custom sound effects that I explained before... etc Previews Now the previews. Images are in High Quality, if you can, it will be really better if you maximize the images than watching it from the thumbnail on the post here. To appreciate detailes etc. Prontera South Entrance Please Hit the Image link to Maximize to appreciate better the Ashes details so as other details I added, thank you!

Castle View Please Hit the Image link to Maximize to appreciate better the Ashes details so as other details I added, thank you! Church View Please Hit the Image link to Maximize to appreciate better the Ashes details so as other details I added, thank you! Fog Effect + Zoom out with dark sky Ok the last one is more like an... idea I had. I thought that it would be nice to add that one into this map. But I dont like that much the lacking opacity of that fog effect (practical reasons, I mean the users will not see nothing lol), thats why I didn't added it by default on the map. But on the other hand I really love how the fog effect matches the dark sky effect, I really like that. So, anyway... thats why I posted -here- some ideas about the transparency, but I didn't had luck -thanks Keyworld in advance for the idea, but I didn't had time to do that. Anyway, it is my customer decition to add it or not, or maybe he will add a timer script, to add that effect on certains hours? dunno. If you want maybe you can give me your opinions about this That is all. If you really like this prontera edition, well, maybe you can comment about it, or ... maybe you have ideas to make it look better? if so... Please comment! I remember some maps before that all of you commented and did some changes to look it better, so, really, ideas are allways welcome. Thanks in advance, and see you soon on the next map. Map that in fact, will be my first one to include some new things I have learned recently

s: no one knows if this is possible or impossible? I usually dont ask for any support for the main reason to not be a nuisance to anyone; but any thought will be really greatly appreciated...

MARVELOUS! Incredible, I can't say by words how amazed I'm haha. Congratz, you are really skilled, all of your work are incredible. But I'm totally amazed with this one. I was very impressed with the -bump mapping- and all the improvements... it is like playing a High Definition RO. I'm kinda curious to see how some one or other map that I have, would look with such a great client engine like this one haha, they would gain another life for sure. But I know it is not possibe. For now I'm just thankfull with you to allowing us to see those screens and the progress of this amazing work. Thanks really.

Hi thanks for those ratings haha I know what you mean, and I was thinking about that too when I removed the 2 other trees that were on north/south of prontera. But I'm too lazy to change all the leaves again .... maybe on a later version I will. And thanks for that rating too!

Hi. Does anyone knows how, to search for the TGA or texture resources of an effect? I need to know about the one that is used with the @fog command, that is the Einbroch fog (effect #515) Someone knows a site, a method or maybe an application? to identify the resources that one effect uses? I forgot: Thanks in advance

Gracias! Thanks, hope you will use it on your server

@freya: I'm glad that you allready downloaded it Look further for another release soon.

Thanks. I really appreciate that rating from you! Yeah I was asking to myself that too haha. Yeah the lighting is really dark, but this was intentional. And thanks for your rating!

Huh what a cute avatar/sign you have <3 xD * Edited topic with the download link. Thanks for your comments!

Thank you all.! Yeah, In fact I tried to upload it But seems that there is an error or something that I can't attach the files in the download module. They allready increased the file size, but I have the error still. I allready contacted them, so I guess we have to wait one or two days. UH I forgot: @Eurydice: Thx for the idea, yeah I guess I can do something like that!

@kasumy: thanks @freya: Hi! I'm glad for that. Please take a peak to this topic on the upcoming days. I'm waiting that the download module in rAthena allows me to upload 4mb weight maps. I know they are on it.

Err. Can Any mod tell me why, it shows me in the download module: "Error No file was selected for upload" This happens at the time it finish uploading. The file type is .rar, (weights 3.93 MB, also tried with 2.93 MB same case) It also happens with the screenshot. (that weights 1.90~ MB)

Briefing & Concept Hi. So, here we are again. Bringing this old prontera edition that I did on the 2009 - 2010 year. This was my first map, and this is the third improvement of this map that, I'm sure most of you allready known. Some days ago, I was talking with one guy, that told me that my Prontera edit, is used among a lot of servers around actually. I was checking the downloads, and, I was really glad by seing the amount of downloads of this prontera edit. Also seems like I'm on the top Authors in --> http://rathena.org/board/files/ when I saw that I just say to me "Holy crap Mercurial is so close!" so I said, I must release something. On the other hand, I just noticed that actually there are a lot of free releases around. The most ones are since Syouji is into the Graphic Moderators team (That, I must give him my congratulations, he certainly deserves that job for helping a lot of guys around) So for all those reasons I decided to do 2 releases. This is the first, and the second is on the way. To all my actual customers that might read this topic... Don't take me wrong, I just worked in some small free times with this one. Your requests are on the way. Video of This map Watch it in HD 720p! Edition of my past Dark Garden Prontera. More garden style. Map in daymode, but with night tones. Black Shadows I know, this is intentional It is a Garden Map, but with an occultist essence/i] Added Ivys and leaves in almost all the structures: houses, walls, buildings, statues.. Added gardens, in south area, north area, swordman guild, and church New design on the north plaza Removed tree in south plaza. I though that the map was so overcharged with 3 big trees. Better to keep only one, to have a better cam vision. Center Overview South Area Houses. With the Ivy Textures Passages. With Dark Garden Statues and Ivy Textures Center. Custom Leaves on tree + new floor texture North passage New North Plaza Church < -- DOWNLOAD LINK --> You can consider to post, or say something to this topic. A rating, a like, a comment. Like the good reception of the first map, Please people don't download only and say nothing. You can allways contribute with a comment. Remember that I'm allways busy with paid requests, as also that in another situation, I would sell this map easily. It is hard to me to do free time, to offer something for free ... but ... I understand the priority of doing free releases to keep the community alive. All the mappers should make at least, one free release for me. So please, in exchange, share, comment, rate. I will really really appreciate that!. Bye, and thanks in advance! and happy download.
