I've managed to add V4P for SGCP: http://sgcp.hostei.com/index.php?act=idx under Exchange Link 
and it seems to record fine:

 
I just don't know about in-game wise.

You could always try it. I've actually included Third Jobs support in SGCP: https://github.com/Mysteries/StarGamesControlPanel/commit/fa5ef10f66dbfaa3d6a620db7ea588201456fb3c There's just a lot of work to do with SGCP.

once again,
Muad_Dib, this update wouldn't exist if it weren't for all the data he provided us with Yommy, wouldn't have been able to properly update the equip flags if it weren't for the job data he provided me with Haru, for making it possible to polish this update so many times. Haru spent many hours debugging this update and writing tools to further enhance the quality of the update Link~u!
Commit Commit 2 (Follow up)Special Thanks to Yommy for bringing it to our attention and for providing the data for the follow up, and to Haru for help in validating the update

There are several different integrated FluxCP (Free) websites you can search for o-O. 
 
http://rathena.org/board/files/file/2839-drawmove-free-fluxcp-theme-animated-coded/ http://rathena.org/board/files/file/2835-free-animated-flux-theme-coded-just-add-your-banner/ http://rathena.org/board/files/file/2639-glight-free-flux-cp-themes/

 
just to link a couple.
 
 
Finding a "Tutorial" on how to integrate Flux is not common. Nor needless to say, I've never found one myself. I think it's a "If you don't know web coding, you can't do it regardless" type of thing.

I decided to bring this topic alive over here in Hercules. I've gathered a few different other links that I found to be interesting and removed some that were dead and no longer had any use. Hopefully I'll be able to keep this topic as updated as I possibly can, of course with everyone's help!

Pallet Town -
This is the Pre-Release of my Custom Pallet Town, Yes it has been done a million times, but not by me /gg
I have about as much nostalgia for Ragnarok as I do Pokemon! In time I will release more PokeMaps here and
there but what better place to start than Pallet Town?! I would greatly appreciate any feedback or opinions you
might have about this release so let me know! Did I mention this Release Will include Interior Maps as Well !?

I don't think it'd be such a bad idea. There could be places where you dont want the Cashshop to be opened and vice-versa. It's not that bad of a something to add in.

Ragnarok Renders 
What is a render?
A render is basically an image where an object in the image has a transparent background. Think of transparency as something invisible. In this case the object(s) are monsters, characters, items, etc.


How do I make a render?
Well there are several ways, my easy solution is just to use the magic eraser tool in Photoshop CS5. You use that and click the background, the more solid the outline of the object the easier it is to render. Some objects you may have to trace the lines so that way the eraser doesn't erase a part of the image its not supposed to. This takes much trial and error, and don't worry, as long as you don't mess up on the tracing, you can't tell its been traced.


What does the packages contain?
NPC cutins, official wallpapers, and fankit images. There are also login screens that have been put together, as well as loading screens. It will also have all the original images for people who want to help out or just to see what the render came from; however, wallpapers are not included because it makes the package too large.


What format are the images in?
The images are saved in .PNG format.
 
Disclaimer: Not every file is in .png format (Renders Package).

Sadly, the changes I've done were long for GitHub and won't display the diff.

Cloth Colour = Dye colour O_o. So I'm confused as to what you would like... but from my understanding Dye Colour changes the colour of the clothes the Mob Player is wearing.

Okay so I got a little bit help since I'm no source expert... With this code:
 
sc_start(bl, SC_BANANA_BOMB_SITDOWN_POSTDELAY, 75, skill_lv, skill->get_time(GN_SLINGITEM_RANGEMELEEATK,skill_lv)); // Sitdown for 3 seconds.  
You have to adjust the seconds within your /db/re/skill_cast_db.txt file: 
 
//-- GN_SLINGITEM_RANGEMELEEATK2498,0,0,0,3000,0,0,-1  
3000 is 3 seconds. So, change it to 8000 and you'll get 8 seconds :>

To tell you the truth... what the hell is this? o_o. I didnt even read any of it just because of the huge amount of text within 5 posts itself. This isn't a suggestion but more of a story book OR a suggestion towards ADMINISTRATORS of a server lol.

Not hating what you did . I appreciate what you did, that's for sure. What you did must've taken a lot of time to do. But, with such a long topic, it wouldn't have hurt to create a brief summary of what it actually was. From reading the two paragraphs, it felt like a Story more than anything else (that's my opinion) though... so that's why I was thrown off and I apologize for that =] 
It set a scene of a Storyline more than a suggestion, but then again everyone's perspective on something is quite different from one another. xD

We do have a few things from Bifrost implemented: https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/search?q=bifrost&ref=cmdform
 
However, we're no where near Eclage yet =/

Official Item Group/Package/Chain
 
Overview
Implementation of the official 'Item Packages', 'Item Group' redesign, 'Item Chain' implementation. item_group.conf : Overview / Sample
The file was redesigned to make it attend the official equivalent's and to be more flexible, there are no more limitations on the number of groups or on how many items a group may contain, these limitations were lifted. Old_Card_Album: ( // <= <Container_Item_Name>     ("Poring_Card",8), // <= entries can be either ( "<Item_Name>", <Repeat_Count> )     "Sting_Card" // <= or "<Item_Name>" (no repeat) ) item_packages.conf : Overview / Sample
The file was created to meet the requirements of the official 'Package Item' feature, there are no limitations on how many packages you may add either. Gift_Bundle: { // <= <Container_Item_Name>     White_Slim_Potion: {// <= <Entry_Item_Name>         Random: false //May be omit when not false, signs whether a item is random or should be given whenever the packageis consumed.         Count: 30 //May be omit when not higher than 1, stands for how many <White_Slim_Potion>     }     Muffler_: {         Expire: 2 //May be omit when none, signs how many hours this item will last (makes a rental item)         Announce: True //May be omit when false, signs whether to relay a special item obtain announce when this item comes out of the package.         Rate: 50 //May be omit when 'Random' is false, from 1 to 10000 (0.01% - 100%)         Named: True //May be omit when false, signs whether the item should have the owner's name in it.     } } item_chain.conf : Overview
Officially this thing is called groups too but I found it'd be confuse to have 2 group files with entirely different functionality, named chains because the items in it are chained to each other, this file fixes quite a few stuff, for example before this patch having BS_FINDINGORE drop something was almost twice as rare than on official servers, also fixes Jewel_Sword, Gaia_Sword, Blazzer_Card, Tengu_Card and Bogy_Horn. New
'packageitem' script command, it has only 1 param which is optional, for the package item id, when not provided it'll try to use the item id from the item it is being used from (if called from an item script), it runs a item package and grants the items accordingly to the attached player. Changes
'#define MAX_RANDITEM' and '#define MAX_ITEMGROUP' were dropped, these limitations no longer exist and the server may support an unlimited number of item groups. 'item_findingore.txt' was dropped, its contents moved into 'item_chain.conf' 'item_bluebox.txt', 'item_cardalbum.txt', 'item_giftbox.txt', 'item_misc.txt', 'item_violetbox.txt' and 'item_group_db.txt' were dropped, its contents moved were updated and moved into 'item_group.conf' 'bonus2 bAddItemHealRate' changed; as group ids no longer exist. 'bAddMonsterDropItemGroup' was renamed to 'bAddMonsterDropChainItem' and changed from bonus 2/3 to bonus (0)/2 as the rate param was dropped because item chains have their own individual rates. Item names are now automatically made constants, so they may be used in any scripts throughout the server e.g. 'getitem Apple,1;', this works for all items except those having ' in their names (e.g. doesn't work for 'Monster's_Feed'). 'getrandgroupitem' and 'grouprandomitem' were modified since group ids no longer exist, item ids should be used instead (or constants as the item above mentions), e.g. 'getrandgroupitem Old_Blue_Box,1;' or 'getrandgroupitem 603,1;' Dropped conf/battle/drops.conf 'finding_ore_rate' for it has no place in the official formula (if you'd like to modify finding ore rates, edit them via item_chain.conf) Special Thanks
Beret and hemagx for bringing this change up to discussion, and the data they contributed into it Yommy and Muad_Dib for all the new item data implemented in this commit (a hell of stuff! THANK YOU BOTH <3) Streusel for all the over 100 new items he converted Gepard for the group item repeat info Masao for his debugging of the monster spawn issue Mysterious for updating the documentation Link~u!
Commit

Fixed in https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/commit/5d467dd19d1756e42d3c95f553054177be6b5290 (Thanks to Yommy!)

Don't use it, just don't. Hercules is way way better than eamod.

either request at rAthena to convert it, or change to using Hercules
 
Hercules devs will not create this for rAthena o_O
