Not sure which version of Thor Patcher you're using, but the latest one uses the following manifest file shown below (as you'll see it already requires elevated privileges to run).
 
I know one version of Thor Patcher had issues overwriting files, but that's been fixed already. So... I doubt your players' issues have anything to do with admin privileges.
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"> <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="CodeGear RAD Studio" version="11.0.2627.5503" processorArchitecture="*"/> <dependency> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*" processorArchitecture="*"/> </dependentAssembly> </dependency> <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"> <security> <requestedPrivileges> <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false"/> </requestedPrivileges> </security> </trustInfo></assembly>

I know the issue is solved, but... this is a known issue xD! Your width and height of the client must be divisible by 4, otherwise you'll get these 'weird' screenshots.

just wondering ... how many people actually miss me ? XD

Check the content of ItemInfo.lua near the line 79560. You should be able to find the issue pretty easily (there's a closing bracket missing)!
 
(Take a picture near these lines or copy the content if you can't fix the issue)

Line 79560, the quotes are not escaped properly. Replace with 
"거대한 뱀 "요르문간드"의 늑골. 믿을 수 없을 정도의 강도와 크기를 자랑한다.",  
Same with line 79576 :
"오딘의 사역마 중 하나인 사고를 관장하는 까마귀 "후긴"의 혼을 형상화 한 것.",  
And line 79594 :
"오딘의 사역마 중 하나인 기억를 관장하는 까마귀 "무닌"의 혼을 형상화 한 것.",  
You could also use the replace feature within Notepad++ and use "Replace all" :

These appear because of the 1 pixel border surrounding the left and right side of the sprite. The X offset, after applying the anchors, appears to have an effect as well in this issue when it's between -1 and 1, from what I've seen anyway.
 
The easy solution is to add an extra margin of 1 pixel around the images (removing that transparent border would actually change how the sprite is being rendered ingame). For instance, try the sprite attached in this post. It's the 'straw hat' looking one.
 

sprite.rar

You won't find such a tool because it makes no sense to show a string like that. Also, gzip is not the same as zlib (they do share many similarities though!). Anyway, if you have .net 3.5 or more recent installed, you could use that (attached file), should be pretty straightforward to use :

Hey everyone,
 
This is a GRF tool I started to develop for my own personnal use, but I thought I'd share it since I've upgraded the UI. Its primary goal is to be easy to use while offering a wide variety of options and customizations. The software is quite stable and can handle large operations easily.
 
How to install
Download the zip archive provided from the download link at the bottom of this description or directly from there : http://www.mediafire.com/?aflylbhblrzpz0h
Install the application with GRF Editor Installer.exe; if you are missing a .NET Framework you will be prompted to download it.
Once you are done, you can start the program from the link on your desktop.

Key features
Overall speed is faster (or at least equal) than any GRF tool.
Common operations : add, delete, merge, extract, preview, save.
Undo and redo for any operation.
It can open any GRF file.
Clean and very interactive interface.
Saving formats supported : 0x200, 0x103 and 0x102 (through the Settings page).
Instant filter and search options (example : "map .gat").
File association and context menus integration for .grf, .gpf and .rgz (through the Settings page).
Can rebuild separated images into one file easily.
Lub decompilation (in beta, but it can decompile almost any lub file so far).
Drag and drop (with the ALT key, can be modified in the Settings page). This is a big part of the software; most of the items can be moved around within the application itself or from/to Windows Explorer.

Tools
Sprite editor : a simple sprite editor with powerful features. Semi-transparent images can be added, you can easily change the order or replace images, etc. This tool can convert images in the wrong type by showing you multiple solutions (merging a new palette, dithering the image by using current palette, using the closest color, and a few more).
Grf validation : allows you to validate a GRF with multiple settings. It can detect corrupted GRF entries, invalid sprites, empty files, non-GRF files, duplicate files and a lot more.
Flat maps maker : generates flat maps from .gat and .rsw files. Useful to generate WoE maps or to fasten up the loading time.
Patch maker : generates a GRF patch based on two different GRFs.
Hash viewer : shows the hash code (both CRC32 and MD5) for files.
Image converter : converts an image to any format requested (BMP, PNG, JPG, TGA).
GrfCL : used to create batch files (.bat) which can automate tasks on GRF files. See the content in GrfCL.rar in the download for more information. This tool can be customized from the sources as well.
Palette recolorer : creates new sprites by changing their colors (this tool is now deprecated).
Client database editor : allows modifications of the database client files (txt and lua) with easy and simple tools. Work in progress.

Grf encryption
 

The encryption feature has been enabled again. It's similar to what it used to be and it has been tested on client versions ranging from 2012-08-01 to 2014-02-05. Some error messages will be displayed if necessary. If you have an issue, copy the error message (with the code, if there's one) and send me the client executable with the cps.dll file generated by GRF Editor. There shouldn't be compatibility issues anymore though!  
Technical stuff
Requires .Net Framework 3.5 (SP1) Client Profile to run (3.5 or more will work as well).
Automatically converts file name encoding to their proper values (you can change the encoding).
Data virtualization is used as much as possible to preview files, meaning the files aren't completely loaded.
Right-clicking an item will bring up the available options with that file.
Preview file formats : txt, log, xml, lua, lub, bmp, png, tga, jpp, db, ebm, pal, gnd, rsw, gat, rsm, str, spr, act, imf, fna and wav.
Services are "crash ready", meaning that you will be warned about a failed operation and no work will be lost (the application won't close and crash). It tries to continue operating even if it meets unsual conditions.
Operations can be cancelled by clicking on the button near the progress bar.
The warning level can be changed to avoid messages like "Please select a folder first."
When prompted with an error, use Ctrl-C to copy the current dialog's content.

Some screenshots!
1) Previewing an act file, while showing the search feature

 
2) Preview of a model file (rsm)

 
3) Preview of GrfCL with the MakeGrf command

 
4) Preview of the Client Database Editor

 
5) Preview of Grf validation

 
6) Search feature (press Ctrl-F or Ctrl-H to bring up within a text editor)

Got a feedback? I'd gladly hear you out and fix issues you have with the program. If you want new features to be added, don't hesitate to ask!
 
Click here to download this file

You will need the latest version from the mediafire link (1.6.7.5) : http://www.mediafire.com/download/aflylbhblrzpz0h
 
There are two ways to encrypt files, but first, you'll want to setup your client.
Go in Tools > GRF Encryption
Put your encryption password in the first box (you can save the credentials to a .grfkey format if you plan on using the encryption often, but make sure this file is not shared with anyone else).
Select your client executable (the name of the executable cannot be changed afterwards).
Put your new cps.dll name. This cannot exceed 7 characters. You can simply leave it as "cps.dll", which won't require an edited client.
Click on Generate files. If everything went well, a window should show up with your new cps.dll file selected (and the client, if it needed modifications).
Screenshot below after you generate your client files.
Copy the new generated files to your client folder.

 

 
 
That's it for the client configuration.
 
As for the GRF actual encryption now... Open your GRF in GRF Editor. If you want to encrypt your entire GRF, go in Tools > GRF Encryption, click on Encrypt GRF (might ask you for your password). The process should be rather quick, the output GRF is your new encrypted GRF.
 
You can also encrypt specific files if you want : right-click the items you want to encrypt and use Encryption > Encrypt. Save your GRF.
 

 
 
Encrypted files will show in orange. When opening up an encrypted GRF, GRF Editor will prompt you for your credentials (hence why it's useful to save your password somewhere, then you can quickly load it with Key... > Load recent > your key.grfkey) :

 
 
To make encrypted Thor patches, create a new Thor file from File > New > New Thor. Add a data folder and add your files in there. This is the same process as above : right-click, Encryption > Encrypt. Make sure you use the same password/key. Go in the Container options tab and set your target GRF (as shown below). Once saving, you will no longer be able to modify your encrypted Thor patch though (the files will become unreadable). Also, always test your Thor patches to make sure everything is working fine.

 
That should cover most of it xD! If you have further questions, go ahead.

Client database editor : allows modifications of the database client files (txt and lua) with easy and simple tools. Work in progress.

Grf encryption
 

The encryption feature has been enabled again. It's similar to what it used to be and it has been tested on client versions ranging from 2012-08-01 to 2014-02-05. Some error messages will be displayed if necessary. If you have an issue, copy the error message (with the code, if there's one) and send me the client executable with the cps.dll file generated by GRF Editor. There shouldn't be compatibility issues anymore though!  
Technical stuff
Requires .Net Framework 3.5 (SP1) Client Profile to run (3.5 or more will work as well).
Automatically converts file name encoding to their proper values (you can change the encoding).
Data virtualization is used as much as possible to preview files, meaning the files aren't completely loaded.
Right-clicking an item will bring up the available options with that file.
Preview file formats : txt, log, xml, lua, lub, bmp, png, tga, jpp, db, ebm, pal, gnd, rsw, gat, rsm, str, spr, act, imf, fna and wav.
Services are "crash ready", meaning that you will be warned about a failed operation and no work will be lost (the application won't close and crash). It tries to continue operating even if it meets unsual conditions.
Operations can be cancelled by clicking on the button near the progress bar.
The warning level can be changed to avoid messages like "Please select a folder first."
When prompted with an error, use Ctrl-C to copy the current dialog's content.

Hey everyone,
 
This is a GRF tool I started to develop for my own personnal use, but I thought I'd share it since I've upgraded the UI. Its primary goal is to be easy to use while offering a wide variety of options and customizations. The software is quite stable and can handle large operations easily.
 
How to install
Download the zip archive provided from the download link at the bottom of this description or directly from there : http://www.mediafire.com/?aflylbhblrzpz0h
Install the application with GRF Editor Installer.exe; if you are missing a .NET Framework you will be prompted to download it.
Once you are done, you can start the program from the link on your desktop.

Key features
Overall speed is faster (or at least equal) than any GRF tool.
Common operations : add, delete, merge, extract, preview, save.
Undo and redo for any operation.
It can open any GRF file.
Clean and very interactive interface.
Saving formats supported : 0x200, 0x103 and 0x102 (through the Settings page).
Instant filter and search options (example : "map .gat").
File association and context menus integration for .grf, .gpf and .rgz (through the Settings page).
Can rebuild separated images into one file easily.
Lub decompilation (in beta, but it can decompile almost any lub file so far).
Drag and drop (with the ALT key, can be modified in the Settings page). This is a big part of the software; most of the items can be moved around within the application itself or from/to Windows Explorer.

Tools
Sprite editor : a simple sprite editor with powerful features. Semi-transparent images can be added, you can easily change the order or replace images, etc. This tool can convert images in the wrong type by showing you multiple solutions (merging a new palette, dithering the image by using current palette, using the closest color, and a few more).
Grf validation : allows you to validate a GRF with multiple settings. It can detect corrupted GRF entries, invalid sprites, empty files, non-GRF files, duplicate files and a lot more.
Flat maps maker : generates flat maps from .gat and .rsw files. Useful to generate WoE maps or to fasten up the loading time.
Patch maker : generates a GRF patch based on two different GRFs.
Hash viewer : shows the hash code (both CRC32 and MD5) for files.
Image converter : converts an image to any format requested (BMP, PNG, JPG, TGA).
GrfCL : used to create batch files (.bat) which can automate tasks on GRF files. See the content in GrfCL.rar in the download for more information. This tool can be customized from the sources as well.
