Hello everyone this is my GRF Explorer tool,



So why another GRF Tool you ask? well here are the reasons


The current ones are old
The current ones are un-maintained (not all of them)
The current ones are written in C X_X;
I want to make my own


So what are the features gonna be?


GRF Merge
Fast GRF Filter and Search
Open Multiple GRFs in another tab
Transfer files between tabs
Live preview of files in the grf ( even sprite , map , acts )
On the spot editing of grf files (no need to extract, edit , put it back, just double click edit and save )
Open sourced
Well documented
Its C#! So faster development speed( I made the UI 2 hours ago )
It works on Linux , Mac and Windows

Notes: It only supports 0x200 GRF version and the DES Decryption algorithm is still broken ( that means its not able to extract some files in data.grf yet , coming soon)








Ok let me tell you the truth! This is a part of an effort called "Managed Athena Project or mAthena"



the goal is to port the existing eAthena software and the Open-Ragnarok
https://gitorious.org/open-ragnarok/ into managed C#/.NET/Mono Code


This is just the beginning , I am not expecting to do this by myself. That is the reason I am posting this. To let everyone know about the project. And if your a skilled but totally bored programmer and want to build your own stuff for RO. then this is our chance



I honestly dont think it will replace our beloved eAthena project, but this will be an alternative and hopefully a competition for eA in the future
