Well, it looks like there are more than one error there...? Your output is very confusing. I'd probably recommend you make sure .net 3.5 and .net 4.0 are installed for starter.

Thank you sir for the reply. Fixed it by reinstalling windows 10.

Hello,I am using the GrfCL and in the "Readme.txt" file you said that "This tool can be further customized with your own commands if you wish; the software is open source and you can therefore edit any function you want. Simply download the GRF Editor sources and look for the project named "GrfCL" ", but where are this GRF Editor sources? Thanks, you've done an awesome job with the GRF Editor.

Heya,

I've removed the GRF Editor sources from public view a long time ago, but I don't mind adding them back now. You'll have to set the startup project to GrfCL, you can find the project here:

Wow, thats amazing,Thank you very much, it will help me a lot in my project. By the way, is there any function to generate the complete map, in 3D with all the assets, like we can see in the GRF Editor UI? I used the "-rQuad" command to generate the QuadTree from the .rsw files, but I have no idea how to open them or convert them to some format that I can open in Blender for example or display it with Three. js. If there is no such function, can you tell me how or with which tool I can do this?

The quadtree isn't meant for something like that; it's a bandaid for BrowEdit 1 that didn't build the quadtree properly (related to black square issues). Though that's long been fixed by now. There's no such feature to convert to Blender or other common 3D formats from GRF Editor. Your best bet would be to look at BrowEdit 3 (https://github.com/Borf/BrowEdit3/releases), though... I don't think such a feature is available there either? Either way, GRF Editor is quite bare-bone and unoptimized as far as managing 3D assets goes.

You may want to look into these projects:

Thanks, I'll take a look at those projects. But how did you manage to display these 3d models in the GRF Editor UI? Was it using some specific C# library or something?

Error when try to see new map maybe same issue like STREDITOR

Fixed a couple months ago; please update to the latest version.

ahh right now GRF editor have github?

okay thank you

[LearningRO]

Btw @Tokei
already used last from github still get the same issue sir

 

[kiikeai]

thanks!

Thxs for awesome work!

BTW I can't make flat maps for ep19 map (ex. jor_dun) It always make my client crash. Any suggest please

These use a new GND format, weird. I've added support for those maps in 1.8.4.8. (There may be more problematic maps? Hopefully not, but let me know if there still are.)

This might be the better place to report issues. Now (with 1.8.4.8) the EP 19 maps (and other new maps) can be generated, but wrongly.

Here's an example of clock_01. The middle area is not accessible, but the flat map maker generates them as cell type 0

Alright, I see what Gravity did there... Updated with 1.8.4.9, should fix the gat type problems.

Working so far so good with 1.8.4.9
Many Thanks for that hard work!

[MrNobody]

Hi @Tokei just a question, I have installed the GRF Editor 1.8.4.9. After done editing my accname.lub, accessoryid.lub and added the costume items sprite, I am ready to create .thor with Encryption as well to secure my item sprite. But I realized that every time I do encryption on the .thor the sources inside will become failed to decompress data. 

May I know which part/ step Im doing it wrongly? Please guide me the correct way, because Im novice rank on this. 

P/S: Before this I am using the older version GRF Editor it works fine to me. As I saw on rAthena there is an update version so I take a try on it. 

Please refer to the attachment below.

Thank you

The error says: "The entry is either corrupted or encrypted". If you want to read the file, decrypt the content first.

Someone can help me with some errors?

 

Trying to edit some edited grf from a random ragnarok client, dunno if its possible post this but...

Well, it looks like it managed to read the GRF fine so someone probably just changed the header for whatever reason. It gives you that error because that's not what is expected at all from the GRF format. You can hex the file manually and change the start to "Master of Magic\0". You might be able to just save the GRF again as well and it will fix the issue...? It managed to load it anyway, so you could just keep using the GRF normally.

Actually just changing the header he won't be able to edit the grf in arkaik. There are many locks, and this one in the header is just one to prevent players from editing grf. 
My advice is to play like everyone else and stop trying to edit the grf

Found an error when Im trying to merge 2 grf's. Not sure what to do, the texture file is 800mb alone and when I tried to merge it says that it went over the limit.

 

EDIT*** So I guess I didn't need to merge it as I just learned that I can use multiple grf files.

Hello, the final GRF size is the problem here and your texture GRF being 800MB on its own doesn't mean much without knowing the size of the base GRF. That error is shown if the file table offset in the final GRF goes past the 4GB size limit. There's not much I can tell without more information on your end though.

Perhaps your GRFs are compacted using the "redirect indexes" option, which makes them seem smaller than they really are. When merging, if the conditions aren't perfect, the GRFs will be unpacted first and then merged together which can trigger the 4GB limit more easily.

It's either that or the base GRF size is near 3.4+GB.

None of that is helpful at the end of the day though, it seems like you will have to make a new GRF alongside instead of trying to keep compressing/removing stuff in it. There's really not much to do once you reach the size limit and the obvious solution is simply to have another GRF in your RO folder to save a lot of future headaches.
