Step 1: put ur map.gat,map.rsw and map.gnd in ur data folder ur yourRo/data.

Step 2: in data folder search for resname table. Type ur map name with the format given in the maps already present in the resnametsble.(i cant tell everything do it yourself)

Step 3: type ur map name in the mapnametable.txt. In the data folder(same type the format as the maps already present in it)

Step4: go to ur server side. Go to rAthena/db and go to mapindex.txt. Type the map name as the format given in other maps in the file.

Step 5:go to maps_athena.conf in conf folder present in rathena. Write ur map name there as the format given.

Step 6: make a new folder in ur desktop named data. Put ur maps in the data file.

Step 7: open grf builder(search ratemyserver tools) and click new>type any name and put .grf after that name. Then click on merge dir present in the eight side of the tool. Find the data directory. Save and once its ready, close and reopen the builder. Open ur ragnarok.grf. Click merge grf and open that .grf u just saved and once it merges ur done. Now compile ur server with visual studio.

Step 8: go to ur server after u compile. Find mapcashe.exe and run it. It will close by itself. Now start ur server and warp to ur map. Its done.

I cantbhelp u further . This is more detail than the wiki. If u cant understand this i cant help u. Keep reading till u understand.

First thing to do is...

 

Step 1. Extract the map.gat on your map_cache by using this WeeMapCache

 

I refer to recompile your server or run mapcache.exe after doing the first step.

 

Step 2. go to trunk/conf/maps_athena.conf then

 

add this one at the last :

map: novice_island ( name of your map )

Step 3. then go to trunk/db/map_index.txt

 

now do it like this:

//======================================================================================
//Place your custom maps with a starting ID here.
//======================================================================================
//Example:
//
//mymap	1250
//mymap-2
novice_island 1252

Now for setting your map for a training ground or starting point.

 

go to trunk/conf/char_athena.conf

 

then go to line : 100 or look for this

// Starting point for new characters
// Format: <map_name>,<x>,<y>
start_point: new_1-1,53,111 <<< change this into mapname,<x coor>,<y coor>

then done! easy as 1 2 3

@russianxboy7 just upload or insert it on your map_cache which is you can see it on your trunk/db/pre or re

 

or here is the guide from rAthena. " Link me to the Guide "
