Heya,

As of 1.8.3.3, GRF Editor now has a Dark Theme available. You can choose the theme from Tools > Settings > General > Theme.

Dark mode for SDE and ACT editor when?

First of all, thank you for the software and all the updates through the years.

I would like to report that the Merge between .thor doesn't work at the moment, even in the latest version.
It prompts, but when clicking on Merge it shows the progress bar moving but when it finishes nothing happens.

Gravity added new formats with 17.2 today 

.rsw Format got version 2.2 adding 1 byte in the header

		// Read header.
		fp      = new BinaryReader(data);
		header  = fp.readBinaryString(4);
		version = fp.readByte() + fp.readByte()/10;
	
		if (header != 'GRSW') {
			throw new Error('RSW::load() - Invalid header "' + header + '", must be "GRSW"');
        }

        if (version >= 2.2) {
            unknown = fp.readByte();
        }

        // Read sub files.
        this.files.ini = fp.readBinaryString(40);
        this.files.gnd = fp.readBinaryString(40);
        this.files.gat = fp.readBinaryString(40);

And it seems like they added a new model format which is used in those maps.

• waterpond_s_01.rsm2

Hopefully there will be a map converter for this.

You are missing .net 3.5 and 4.0, most likely.

[Dia]

Awesome! Is there any chance to convert rsw 2.2 to rsw 2.1 with rsm1 models so we can load the in old clients?

Hello, it seems that using certain 2018 clients (tested with 20180621 and 0620) the name of the custom DLL at the encripting function is ignored. It always read cps.dll despite of the custom name of the dll.

Thanks for your awesome tool, hope this get fixed.

The "cps.dll" string is there twice in the client executable, the tool only expects one. So you need to change one of them manually before using the tool, or you can just keep cps.dll as the name of the file.

The command you're looking for is

-encoding 949

Looks like only the first command is execute

Hmm, well the following command worked fine on Windows:

GrfCL.exe -encoding 949 -open "C:\Program Files (x86)\GRF Editor\test.grf" -extractFiles "" ""

Perhaps you do not have the 949 codepage on your machine. You could test by opening GrfCL and typing the encoding command directly:

.\GrfCL.exe
Commands> encoding 949
#Log : Extraction and files added will now use this encoding : ks_c_5601-1987

If you get an error with the above, you'll have to use a different encoding or keep it as the default one.

It's only works in a bat file

#Log : Batch file detected an invalid encoding, changing command line arguments encoding to 1252
#Log : Extraction and files added will now use this encoding : ks_c_5601-1987
#Log : Opened GRF C:/patch/example.grf
#Finished
#Log : Extracted 12 file(s)

 

Is there any possibility of changing the default encoding so that you don't need the -encoding command?

[Rumia]

hey!
is this open source? im interested to know how you managed to parse all the map/sprite data.

i would understand if it's not. In any case, thank you

These are meant to further customize the flat maps creation.

If you uncheck Remove all objects, you must also uncheck Make the ground flat. This is meant to keep the objects while only changing the textures and it would create the map shown below. Otherwise you would have objects floating in mid-air.

 

Making gat cells stick to the ground will be the difference between the left screenshot and the right screenshot. The gat cells are usually on top of objects so that you can walk over them. Obviously this doesn't apply if Make the ground flat is checked as you'd be walking on air otherwise.

 

 

As far as the lightmap and shadowmap goes, I'd have to refer you to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightmap and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_mapping . The difference can be seen here I guess, if you keep the lightmaps:

As for the global lighting, that's a setting used on some maps to dim the ambient light. Not many maps use this, but it is best to remove it when making flat maps.

Using the default options would be best for a regular usage of course.

Sorry to revive an old reply here. But I've been wondering if there was a way to make the flat maps without changing the textures of the ground itself?

Try unchecking "Change the ground textures for custom ones".

@Tokei I found this after viewing TB_Layer_Priority.lub from kRO data.grf
 

	if 2 == layer then
		-- GRF Editor Decompiler : CodeReconstructor has failed to identify the usage of this goto 3_[24]
	elseif 3 == layer then
		-- GRF Editor Decompiler : CodeReconstructor has failed to identify the usage of this goto 3_[30]
	elseif 4 == layer then
		-- GRF Editor Decompiler : CodeReconstructor has failed to identify the usage of this goto 3_[36]

Heya,

I'll have a look later; the function itself can be decompiled from the  labels:

-- Function #0
GetLayerPriority = function(direction, layer, acc_id)
	local Items_List = TB_Layer_Priority.Items_List
	if nil ~= Items_List then
		local Item_Tb = Items_List[acc_id]
		if nil ~= Item_Tb then
			if nil ~= Item_Tb.Direction and nil ~= Item_Tb.Direction[direction] then
				return Item_Tb.Direction[direction]
			elseif nil ~= Item_Tb.Default then
				return Item_Tb.Default
			end
		end
	end
	if 2 == layer then
		return TB_Layer_Priority.Default_Bottom
	elseif 3 == layer then
		return TB_Layer_Priority.Default_Top
	elseif 4 == layer then
		return TB_Layer_Priority.Default_Mid
	elseif 8 == layer then
		return TB_Layer_Priority.Default_Robe
	end
	return -1
end

If I encrypt my grf would they be able to change its files and run the game normally?

 

Answered.

Only one error will be displayed even if there are more; in your case, the maps are simply encrypted so it's skipping all of them. Hence the 1kb maps.grf output file.
