RAGP Extractor

 
About
Rudimentary command-line tool to extract RAGP files (such as the assets in Ragnarok: Valkyrie Uprising).
 
Usage
unragp <file> Extracts <file> into current directory.
 
Known Issues
Because I wrote it on a whim to check out Ragnarok: Valkyrie Uprising game resources, there are no error messages. Either the program ends in OK or NG.

Updated to 4.1.3, this release fixes an assertion when applying optimized patches.
Updated to 4.1.4, this release adds support for the new, short-lived (2021-11-03 ~ 2021-11-17) kRO Sakray server. This is a different server from the one removed in 4.1.2 and requires a new full client. There is no mirror support for this one and it is released only as part of the bundle package.

Update 2021-02-26:
While this still has no tangible name, currently running under the working name SKAL (which was previously ELUR and permutations thereof, including LURE, even though it won't lure anyone), the patching launcher itself is taking form. The plug-in system will be post-poned to a later version, because currently it is very fragile and the built-in functionality ought to be enough for anybody.
 
The skin support, as opposed to ROCred, will use PNG rather than BMP. While magenta will still serve as transparent color and alpha-blending support is absent, at least the skin files will be smaller. Like pre-2.4.5 RSU plug-ins PANTEXT and PANHTML, the patch news will be built-in and use the IE WebView for HTML patch news (how that works out on Win10 will be left for community feedback). The major difference is, that you can summon multiple patch news (as much as Windows allows), for example for providing seem-less interactive controls to the interface, like server status. As in ROCred the amount of buttons is also limited by available memory only.
 
The patch part builds on top of the RSU4 framework and the RSULIB3 library so you get the same performance, but with multi-GRF support. RGZ support is planned in the initial version. Later versions may introduce support for ZIP, RAR, 7Z/LZMA, either built-in, or as plug-ins.
 
The launcher part remains essentially unchanged to ROCred.
 
How configuration will be provided is not yet decided, options are three. Embedded into the plauncher (AV vendors hate this), a separate file or files, or all resources stored in a remote location.

A note of advice: You should specify proper copyrights on "Ragnarok" and related material (screenshots of game data) on github, otherwise you risk your project being taken down.

If done on the server-side, you'll have constant flood of network traffic; then imagine if 100 people talk to such an NPC.If done on either side, you'll most likely have a great deal of flicker; players with epilepsy won't be very much amused.

Will probably take a while, after my pc's psu blew up.

For various reasons an idea came up, to have a reverse search (or search-by-image) function in the NPC list.
The question is, would there be general demand for such a function, or not?

Of course, people will read it 😀. Atleast I am waiting to see how this turns out.

Merging is still in progress, the rsu codebase is messy, so it will take some time.
Update 2017-08-04:
Someone give me a full week hikikomori mode without disturbance and I can release it...
Update 2017-08-05:
People who will want to extend the functionality of the patncher, can start learning COM. The plug-in will have to establish communication with a call like this:
hr = CoGetClassObject(CLSID_PluginServiceProvider, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, NULL, IID_IClassFactory, &lpServiceProvider); Update 2020-08-18:
Obviously no one will read this, and no one will dare to make a necro-post in response to this. Since I have nothing to do for a week, I'm finishing that thing. Things are coming along quite well so far. The updater part is written from scratch, since the RSU code-base is too outdated. Not sure about the ROCred part, there is currently no UI. Oh yeah, there is no name either...

Could probably be replicated with ROCred, minus the status, but adding a webview would not be hard.

Updated to 2.14.2, adds /mable and /zoom, updates Japanese and Russian translation and fixes UI glitches and a bug in logging.

Updated to 2.4.5, added community contributed mirror support for kRO main and sakray. Further applications for approved mirror servers are welcome.

Updated to 2.4.27, fixes possible buffer corruption (security issue).

The file is present on the mirror, so no problem there. There should be a  rsu-kro-rag-lite.exe-debug.log file in the same folder as the patcher, that says why it failed to retrieve the file.
 
Updated to 2.4.26, updates phRO patch information, fixes few issues and removes idRO and some iRO variants.

Updated to 2.4.25, updates kRO patch information, allows mirrors for kRO Zero and allows HTTP mirrors.

Updated to 2.4.19, updates twRO patch information and makes the UI less confusing.
Updated to 2.4.20, the real thing.
Updated to 2.4.21, updates kRO patch information.
Updated to 2.4.22, fixes potential patch process issues introduced in previous release.
