How to fix world null error?

[kalabasa]

So i am adding custom maps and i am using this one https://rathena.org/board/topic/109823-ragnarok-online-complete-offline-pack-2017-make-your-ro-server-in-less-then-5-minutes/

but before i added a custom map without an issue, i occured this when my RO wont start and running perhaps the grf began corrupted

note:

i replace all files with the fresh new one's and i still occured the error

[crazyarashi]

its probably missing/corrupted.... did you add it in your mapcache?

1. did you add the map inside a grf? maybe you forgot to add the grf in data.ini? Just stating one of most common mistake.

2. check if the map has complete files. check also your data/texture/.. folder for other map files.

3. check if the map it self is not corrupted.

4. get a clean svn and check if your client can run without custom map. (just to make sure if the problem really the map

1.Yes i did add the map on the main grf and wayback on my first try it works how to add it in data.ini anyway?

2.yes the maps are complete

3.i redownload the maps that i am using just to be sure

4. idk how

1. Check your data.ini if it is reading your main grf properly, it will look something like this:

[Data]
0=extras.grf // add some sub grf
1=costumes.grf // add some sub grf
2=main.grf  // here is your main grf
3=rdata.grf
4=data.grf

Client will read the grf located at 0 then 1 then etc..

2. ---

3. ---

4. go setup a new server (clean) without any mods. try opening your current client, if error still occurs, its most probably the map it self has the problem or it is not being read at all.

My advise to you is, when you put something new in your client, especially when merging to the main grf. make sure you make a separate grf first before merging to your main grf. If your PC's storage will allow you to store more, better yet, make back ups from time to time.

You can always merge custom maps to your main grf once you dont encounter any problems with it. The method I advised you was just to prevent any unnecessary re-do of your client files which is really a hassle. You can now pin point which map is causing the error, once you do, try to look for another source of it. Most probably you were missing a file or two for sure

okay i update when a get a progress hopefully

[kalabasa]

Okay i finally find out. simply this case you dont need to edit resnametable.txt, it automatically reads the map if you put the image inside the map folder though you need still to edit the mp3nametable.txt for BGM's and mapnametable.txt to get rid of unknown area when typing /where 

whew! i hope this solution can help to others
