Client Side

1- place the map files (.gat .gnd .rsw) in your data/grf
2- add the map to:
    mapnametable.txt (the name that shows when you use /where)
    mp3nametable (the BGM that will play in the map)
3- repack the grf if need.
 
    Server Side
1- add the map to:
    conf/maps_athena
    db/map_index
2- download and use WeeMapCache. Use it to open the map_cache.dat in the corresponding db (pre or re) and add the map to the list.

3- save the file and restart the server.

For Client Side :

 

1st step make it all GRF >> and include that GRF to patch ?? and patch it ?

for 2nd step I want to edit my prontera, did I must make a new map coordinate ?

or I can ignore this step ??

im not used w/ patchers but i guess you have to add it so you can share the map w/ the players. w/o the map the client will crash when you warp the the missing map.

 

replacing a map, if the map have the same size like a different version of prontera where theres no new obstacles in previous free areas theres no need to change coordinates of npcs, warps or players last log position if the if map have the same name. otherwise you have to change everything to the new map.

 

one thing i know is (not sure if all but...) change a map name can be a bit troublesome since some maps have its names hardcoded by the modeling programs.

i managed to do it so but not in an usual way i guess.

im using rathena 17165 (havent updated a some time )

 

you dont have to add or edit data or rdata grfs, actually it's not a good idea mess w/ those files, add the custom stuff to your grf or make a new grfs for dif contents instead.

all 3 files goes inside the data folder, together w/ sprite, texture, model, luafiles and other folders. Just drop it there, it may looks messy since you probably gonna have dif types of files like folders, desc tables.txt and things like that but thats ok, If you open one of the Gravity's grfs for curiosity you can see thats how they add maps too.

 

about the errors can, you post a pic of it?

 

some things that can cause errors (not always tho) is missing textures and models. If you downloaded a map that have extra files make sure to add it to the respective folders.

I downloaded a few maps that simply doesn't work, when i warp to it the client just crash and idk why ._.

 

one more thing, to rename maps you cant just right click and change the name of the file, to do it you must use a program like browedit or you will get errors.

you can try to get a new mapnametable here .

 

like i said the data.grf and rdata.grf will only be used to store and read the kRO files so theres no need to edit it :3

 

and yeah, rename a map w/o use programs probably caused the error.

 

one thing you can try, even if idk if its correct or not is: leave everything as it is but add a copy of the new map w/ the original name to the grf. Dont add it to any txt file or anything else, just drop the files, repack the grf and try again.
