2. What are the important thing/s why I need to grf my data folder?

3. To add some custom items. Do I need to grf my data folder again? or just leave it. or Editing stuffs goes to my rAthena SVN repository?

4. If I'm going to host my server online through a hoster. What are the things I need to give to the hoster?

5. What is a palette in terms of Ragnarok Online?. How do I create a pallete?

6. How to create a map? any tutorial, links?

7. How would I know if my client date/version suites my kro+re files?

1. these are fonts used by the client

2. translation, maps, custom items, all your custom stuff

3. no you can leave it as data folder... tho it doesn´t look as professional and players can mess around with em

4. rAthena server files

5. palette= http://arianerocustom.voila.net/ Custom colors for classes

6. http://rathena.org/wiki/BrowEdit_Video_Tutorials

7. Most of the time updating your client via kro and updating your lua´s is enough for future content (items, mobs etc). There are some exceptions tho like some sprites (Bakonawa >_>).

Thanks!

by the way

2. translation, maps, custom items, all your custom stuff

You said custom stuffs, so whenever I create a custom stuffs do I need to again and again grf it?

[Wafflebutt]

You could make another grf like WhateverROpatch.grf and let a patcher patch into this grf.

Or you could just use a data folder.

And no with neoncube you don´t need to make a grf. You could make a rar file and let it patch into the grf.
