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

[Mercurial]

GRF Sharper v 0.1 [usable Release]

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

Anyway heres the screenshots:

VERY nice start. I've hoped for a tabbed GRF editor/viewer for ages, so I'm pleased to see one in development!

[Squishyyy]

i love you!

[Judas]

Great work!

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. =)

I can't do anything with this tool, can't edit the .txt files inside. There's also no search function. Is there something i'm missing here or the features that's written is still on development?

[Mercurial]

yes please read again.

[KeyWorld]

I don't really love the UI, but it's a nice concept with fresh ideas

Best things for your job ! It's hard to combine job + project + life (same thing for me, I don't work a lot on my projects, I get some good time with my girlfriend: restaurant, DisneyLand, ...).

[Mercurial]

haha, thanks for your opinion, its nice to hear coming from you key

Nice!!

[Orc Lord]

I think the author should post first what does the tool do for now, it's kinda confusing and frustrating reading those features and then find out that the only thing it can do for now is open a .grf file.

[Rhon]

Nice release again Mercurial...
