    GRF Sharper - A modern GRF Tool, Its sharper :) [Usable Release][Update]

    in Client Releases

    Posted

    Wow this will go a long way. Excellent idea of remaking more modern day/efficient GRF editors with features that everyone wants! The edit/save on the spot GRF will be sooooo much better. Man do I hate extracting and repacking the whole god dang thing everytime I make a slight edit. A neat function I would recommend with the GRF sharper is encryption & decrypting feature. So for those that lets say encrypt a GRF and dont have the original one and cant decrypt it, it would be awesome if both functions are possible in this editor itself.

    +1 To an excellent start. =)

    Hello Sunny Day. I would be more then happy to help you out but I would like to discuss this problem of yours outside of this thread. This thread is designated for users to comment on what videos they would like to see in the future & particularly myself leaving updates as well when new videos are released. Please make a support thread in the graphics support section with a title based on your BrowEdit issue and Ill help you out there. Thanks. I just dont want to see this thread become off topic and unorganized. ^^

    [Resolved] Lined lightmaps? (As if there is a shadow casted on a straight line)

    in Graphics Support

    Posted · Edited by Syouji

    I've had similar results before with lined lightmaps. I had to adjust intensity levels and distance of lights fix this issue. I also found that if the slope of an incline is great enough that also messes up lightmaps. Your slopes look low enough so it shouldnt cause this bug. I could analyze your map files if you want to see if I can make any changes to them in terms of light intensities to give the same replication. Also note that make sure if you dont want lightmaps to interfere with shadows tick off the cast shadows especially when it comes to color. It could also be quadtrees, or water level heights and always use 586 as it has corrected quadtree calcs where 620 does not.

    Hey peoplez~ I just noticed a thread in the old eathena forums about this new forum location. Also found out that this new location started up in May. I honestly must say things are looking very clean and crisp in terms of managing sections, subsections, threads and topics. I look forward to seeing some great things coming about with the new eAthena forums!

    Cheers!
