Is it hair costume? not a real character hair. (If I'm not wrong)

oh it's just a hair colour, not a costume ^^

[Please help me identify the origin of this hair colour's palette]

Hii! can someone please help me identify which colour palette does this exact hair colour belong to?
If you know, it'd help me a lot! Thank you!! 

[Missing corners of the walls]

omg this is so strange, I have never seen this glitch before o_o;;;
if it's fixed by ctrl alt del though, it means it's a graphic glitch and probably caused by your graphics card..
also, some older versions of the client have some of these off graphic glitches, that the newer ones don't have.

If it's an nVidia card (which has some problems with RO, specially the last ones for some reason...), you should also try by choosing your graphic card (Graphics Card + Direct3D HAL, but NOT Direct3D T&L HAL) in the setup (preferably, use Open Setup, and configure under LUA).
I hope this helps! ><:::

[[Browedit] Remove custom object shadow]

hii, you can remove them manually with right click in Browedit 2 or Browedit 2022
Alternatively, you can export the shadowmap, temporarily invert the image so you can find the area easily, erase the part with white colour, and impot it again x3

[[Showcase] Shrine of the Vanir (City & Interiors Project)]

This is a project that I made back in 2019. Including the three maps, these were my 5th, 6th and 7th RO maps >w<

Shrine of the Vanir
This is a city conceived as a Shrine of the Gods of Nature, or Vanir. It's a very big map, with plenty of details and places to visit, walk around and sit to take a break and relax.
It's got several custom-made and modified models and textures.
My goal was to make a beautiful place that felt magical and awe-inspiring, but different to places such as Splendide, as this city is more focused on stonework. When I designed it, I based plenty of the city by observing ancient Norse symbols that appear in runestones, and the very shape of the city is based on them. Additionally, there are "city blocks" that have shapes of animals when looked from the sky (although this detail is somewhat hidden by the various plant models).



Interiors 1
This map is designed to be underground, under the city itself, which is the reason why the entrance is the stairs (In the main city map, there's a small building that serves as the entrance).
The design includes areas with their respective themes, so that different NPCs can be added according to them, whether they're Quests, Shops or Event NPCs.

Although it's a mid-sized map, it's close to being big, and it's relatively big for an interior map. It's got several details and resting areas, which were made with care. It's also got certain custom-made models and textures that aren't present in the original RO. Finally, it's got several custom effects, as well as sound effects in the proper places.

My goal was to make a very peaceful and relaxing place to not only visit NPCs in their respective sections, but to also sit around with your friends or guildmates around the tables or benches, or even AFK peacefully by yourself as much as you want, maybe even next to a waterfall! I wanted to convey a feeling that there were several different activities, either fun or relaxing, that you could do in this somewhat hidden place underground.



Interiors 2
It's made up of three rooms: Floor 1, Basement 1, and a Small Room.

This map is designed to be partly underground, partly inside the structures of the city, which is why there are stairs leading further underground. Moreover, it's meant to have a door leading to "Interiors 1"
In the Main city map, and in Interiors 1, there are doors that correspond to the various entrances of these interior rooms.
The rooms are very detailed, and they've got several custom effects, as well as sound effects in several places.

My goal was to make a smithy or area for forging weapons, that fit neatly as the interiors of "Shrine of the Vanir". This city is meant to convey a feeling of "not entirely made by humans, but also by the gods", thus these rooms had to convey a special feeling as well. So, as the city has huge plants growing in different places, the branches of Yggdrassil have also grown inside the buildings themselves! And the forge had to be big as if to say: the weapons crafted here are unique.
Putting aside the design, ellaboration and custom-made elements of this work, all of the official Ragnarök Online content belongs to Gravity and the creators of kRO, jRO, twRO.

Just look at that older version vs the new version.. it's a lot of improvement.. a really nice map for event instance

Thank you so much for your comment!
oh I didn't know how to make the lights so good back then ^^; it was actually the very first time I added lightbulbs to an interior map, because for my first map I just used browedit 2's sky light ^^; and for the other one I had Niflheim as a guide

[[Guide] Mina Rabbit's Browedit and Bromedit Guides]

Hii! This is from a guide that I posted somewhere else in rathena, but a newer version of it 

Adding several texture or model files in group to your Browedit custom texture and model text files list 

1. In GRF Editor, go to a texture or model folder. Select the first texture or model in the list, press Ctrl + A to select them all, and then Ctrl + C to make a copy of the list.

2. In Notepad ++, with the Replace function, and "Regular Expressions" turned ON:

a. For the Textures

Find what:
(\w+).bmp
Replace with: 
RO/foldername/$1|foldername\$1.bmp
or
mytextures/foldername/$1|foldername\$1.bmp

(where "mytextures" is the name of your custom main folder that will appear in Browedit)

b. For the Models

Find what:
(\w+).rsm
Replace with: 
RO/foldername/$1|data\model\foldername\$1.rsm
or
mymodels/foldername/$1|data\model\foldername\$1.rsm

(where "mymodels" is the name of your custom main folder that will appear in Browedit)

3. Finally, Simply place them in their corresponding file, be it rotextures.txt, texturescustom.txt, romodels.txt, randommodels.txt, romodels_organized.txt and so on, depending on how your Browedit configuration.

NOTE 1:
In Browedit 2 it's a bit different, you only have 2 files available and can't add extra ones:  rotextures.txt and romodels.txt

NOTE 2:
It's common to do this, but don't actually use "custom" as a texture/model folder name. Because for some reason Browedit 2 has some trouble reading a folder called "custom" ^^;
Browedit 1 doesn't have that problem, this is only for Browedit 2. If you want to use Browedit 2 at some point, you should simply avoid "custom" in order to easily copy the contents from Browedit 1's text file into Browedit 2's text file

[[Guide] The complete Browedit 3 & 586 tutorial.]

It's a very good tutorial!
This should also be pinned 

[GRF: GRF Editor]

Hii Tokei!
I found a bug, or rather, a client of mine did! ^^
It turns out a map that they acquired from me had a missing bmp file.
To test again, I added the custom map to my data.grf where the files are located, and saved.
Then I extracted all of the files from the map with "Export...".
But it happened again, specifically ilus_s_124.bmp isn't being extracted.
The texture belongs to a rsm file that was previously converted from rsm2. (I don't know if it's related to the bug though)
Please take a look, thank you!

Edit: If you Export the files from the rsm itself, it works. It only doesn't work if you extract them from the map.

[[Showcase] ?A Requiem for the Endless? ~ Event/MVP Rooms]

Hii! o/
This was my fourth custom map! Back in December 2018, a client requested a room for events that looked very scary.


The map that was originally requested was the "green room" to the north, and I added the southern "endless room" as an extra. But this room originally looked fairly simple.
Later on I made a "make up" or update to these rooms, and I added the side decorations, as well as "special effects" (glows and smokes). I also made the southern room look more properly like Endless Tower, hence the name of the map! 
Additionally, now the northern room looks even more like a cave where really spooky things occurred >:3

The last screenshots belong to the older first version, for comparison purposes.

[[Showcase] ? Wicked Prontera ?]

Hii! It's me Mina Rabbit, showcasing a mappino after such a long time! 
Actually, I made several new maps since my last showcase here, but I've started showcasing the new ones just now >w<
I made this map back in 2018 (From around October to December 2018), and it was my third RO map.
It was my first commission too, and the request was a "Halloween Prontera" that looked somewhat like Niflheim. So I decided to make it look like a combination of both maps! 
The result was a very spoopy map. Or as Borf said, it's as if "Prontera and Niflheim had a child" 
It was the very first time that I used lightbulbs to create coloured lights over the map, so they may not look as good as how I'd make them now ^^;;
So, later on I'll add posts of the new version with the new light and models that I've been working on from time to time

[Browedit GAT Copy]

hii! o/
copying a GAT is limited to a specific size (I think 32 x 32)
the best way is to copy the gat with the GAT mode (F6), with C and then P, then move to another map with TAB, and press P to enable the copied area again.
but you have to be very precise when you paste it!
(I'm unsure if copying a limited size with F2 mode works, I haven't tried it with a limited area yet... but in either case copying with F6 sounds easier because copying with F2 may cause crashes often and become very annoying)

[[BrowEdit] Error opening grf]

On 7/1/2021 at 12:47 AM, Uriaz_Heteo said:

Im hoping you read this, it didn't work. What else could i try?

Your GRF shouldn't be above 2 GB in size. You can split the file in 2, and have map in one, materials in another one!
Browedit can't read a GRF above 2 gb ><;

[How to increase effect size]

On 12/3/2019 at 9:31 AM, nguyenhuy123 said:

Hi all, currently im using BrowEdit to edit a map. I'm able to make some effect( the blue torch effect) on specific location on this map but seem can't find way to increase the effect size. Is there any way to do this with BrowEdit? I have use change the scale param of effect from 1 to 5.8 but still can't see the effect size change T_T.

 

hii o/
I remembered this question and I know this is an old thread, but this may be useful for others looking for this in the future

Actually, you can change an effect's size easily in browedit 2
you can choose an effect in the "objectedit" mode (F2)
all you have to do is change "Effect Parameter 1" 
(But you should use the very last browedit 2 that can be downloaded in Borf's Discord, or saving the map may break your textures).
(The link to the Discord is in https://www.facebook.com/browedit )
