Tools/Things You Will Need

  Photoshop CS4 or above (I use CS6 in this tutorial) SprConview GRF Tool WeeThumbnail Viewer (instructions on how to install below) 800mb-1.5gb Available HDD space

Optional:

  Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 or GIMP (not included in toolpack.zip below; not necessary)

Preface/Getting Started
First and foremost, download my tool package here: http://www.jtynne.co...es/toolpack.zip

  This tool pack contains SprConview, GRF Tool, and other essential programs I use when working on the server (Browedit, various patchers for different official RO servers, etc) Extract the entire tool pack to a location on your computer that you can easily find/return to.

Guide
1. Navigate to your GRF Tool program from the tool pack contents. Open it, click "Open", and find your data.grf (located in your CasualRO install folder):
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/1.png [/url]]
 
2. Let's make sure we have our GRF Tool configured properly. Click on "Settings" and make sure the first option is selected.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/2.png[/url]]
 
3. Now, we're going to extract ALL of the .spr files from the GRF. Search for .spr and hit enter, or click the button on the right to search. (GO TO STEP 5 TO LEARN HOW TO EXTRACT)
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/3.png[/url]]
 
4. (You will return to do the same as step 3, but after you do the extraction process in step 5)
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/4.png[/url]]
 
 
 
5. When you've found all the .spr or .act files, click "Extract", make a new folder, and name it something you'll remember in a location you can easily return to. Then click OK to begin the extraction process.
 http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/5.png[/url]]
 
6. After you've extracted both .spr and .act files, navigate to where you extracted them. Once you get to the /data/sprite/ folder, you'll see a ton of folders and other files. Refer to the image below to find the drop sprite folder and the headgear folder. These are the only two we will use for this tutorial. I've made note of where monsters and robes are located in case you want to take a gander in them.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/6.png[/url]]
 
7. Let's dive into the headgears folder.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/7.png[/url]]
 
8. As you can see above, I can see previews of sprites in my folders. This is important because NOTHING is named in English besides a few of the newer class sprites, so you will also want to be able to visibly see a preview of what each sprite file is of. That said, navigate to you extracted the toolpack.zip, and go into the WeeThumbnail folder, and then into the folder noted in the screencapture below. Double click "Install". Head back into your sprites folder. If you can't see previews still, reboot your computer. Then return to the headgears folder in step 7.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/8.png[/url]]
 
9. I always work with the female headgear sprites as my bases for recolors because a lot of the female sprites have an extra frame in their .spr file, that the male sprites for whatever reason lack. If you work with male headgear sprites as bases, you'll encounter crashes in-game due to the missing frame, so let's go into the female headgear sprite folder as noted in step 7.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/9.png[/url]]
 
10. For this tutorial, I've opted to make a recolor of the Racoon Doll Hat. You will want to copy both the .act and .spr file with the same filename.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/10.png[/url]]
 
11. Now, let's move these into a safe location and set up our folder hierarchy.

  Create a folder on your desktop named "data" Inside of this folder, create two folders, "sprite" and "texture" Go into the "sprite" folder Once inside the sprite folder, create a folder with the following name: ¾ÆÀÌÅÛ While still inside the sprite folder, create another folder with this name: ¾Ç¼¼»ç¸® Go inside of the folder named ¾Ç¼¼»ç¸® and create two folders; one named ¿© and the other named ³² Navigate backwards into the "data" folder again, and enter the "texture" folder Inside the texture folder, create a folder called À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º Go into the folder called À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º and create two folders named "item" and "collection"

At the end of this hierarchy creation, you should have the following hierarchy created:
 
data
------- sprite
------- ------- ¾ÆÀÌÅÛ
------- ------- ¾Ç¼¼»ç¸®
------- ------- ------- ¿©
------- ------- ------- ³²
------- texture
------- ------- À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º
------- ------- ------- item
------- ------- ------- collection
 
Remember when I told you to copy the .act and .spr in step 10? Locate where you copied those files to, and I recommend placing them within data/sprite/¾Ç¼¼»ç¸®/ for the time being as seen below.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/11.png[/url]]
 
12. Now, when you double-click .spr files, by default, Windows usually has NO idea what to do with them. So let's assign the default program to open .spr files to be SprConview from the toolpack.zip archive. Right-click the .spr file, go to "Open With", and "Choose default program..."
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/12.png[/url]]
 
13. Chances are high that SprConview won't be in your Recommended Programs list, so if it's not, click "Browse", locate where you extracted the toolpack.zip contents, and locate SprConview inside of that folder. Once you've found it, make sure you check the box on the left so .spr files always open with Sprconview. Then click OK.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/13.png[/url]]
 
14. Once you've assigned SprConview to open the .spr files, double click the sprite to open it!
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/14.png[/url]]
 
15. Now, let's extract the frames from the sprite file by converting each frame into a .bmp image. Click "Convert" and select "Spr to Bmp"
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/15.png[/url]]
 
16. A new box will appear. Under "Sprite" click the Browse button to the right of the blank field. Select the sprite (use the preview window to confirm it's the file you want) and click "Open".
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/16.png[/url]]
 
17. Next, enter a name in the BMP directory field (no need to click browse; just write a name for a new folder to be created where you're currently located). Click "Convert" to extract the frames.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/17.png[/url]]
 
18. Navigate into the folder the frames were extracted into.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/18.png[/url]]
 
19. It's time to open CS4 or above!
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/19.png[/url]]
 
20. Open just the very first file (far left side, usually numbered 001 at the end of the file name) in Photoshop. Once open, go to "Image" -> "Adjustments" -> "Replace Color"
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/20.png[/url]]
 
21. Replace the colors until you achieve a coloration you like! I've opted to make this head all gray (like a real racoon!), but you can easily make it any color(s) you want by playing with the Hue/Saturation/Lightness sliders.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/21.png[/url]]
 
22. Once you're satisfied with your coloration, save the file.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/22.png[/url]]
 
23. This is just an aside really, but you only have to edit the first frame of each sprite in order to achieve the recolor effect throughout the entire sprite. This is because later when we convert the bmp back into a .spr, SprConview uses only the first frame to create the palette for the sprite file. Super handy and saves time! I used to edit every single frame, but it's not necessary to do.
 
24. Once you've saved the file, you should see the preview image update with your changes in the folder.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/24.png[/url]]
 
25. It's time to repack these .bmp images into a sprite file! Back in SprConview, click "Convert", and this time select the second option "Bmp to Spr".
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/25.png[/url]]
 
26. A new window will appear. Click "Add" and another box will open. Left click the first image (the one you recolored) then hold down shift and left-click the very last image at the bottom. This will select all of the frames in the correct order. Then click "Open".
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/26.png[/url]]
 
27. Now enter the filename you wish to assign to your recolored sprite. Make sure you include the .spr file extension at the end of the name. I've chosen "racoon_head_recolor.spr" for this demonstration. Uncheck the "Encode" box. We no longer use this option in the clients and leaving it checked will cause your sprite to display incorrectly once in-game. Once you've done the preceeding instructions, click "Convert".
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/27.png[/url]]
 
28. Your newly created sprite will appear in the same folder the .bmp frames are found, so jump back in there if you were elsewhere.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/28.png[/url]]
 
29. Admire your work! No, actually, make sure all of the frames are there, and that you can't see the background color from the .bmp files. It should include all of the frames you originally extracted from the original sprite. Below, I've opened the sprite in five different windows to see all angles. It's not necessary to do, but helps to see an overview of your work.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/29.png[/url]]
 
30. Copy and paste your newly recolored sprite up one directory where you pasted the original .spr and .act files. Now, let's tidy things up a bit.. If you have any extra files besides the original .spr and .act, delete those. Keep the female and male folders, AND the default .act as we still need that.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/30.png[/url]]
 
31. Make a copy of the .act file.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/31.png[/url]]
 
32. Rename it, and keep the female prefix.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/32.png[/url]]
 
33. Select the male folder as if to rename it, but just copy the filename into your clipboard (Ctrl+C)
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/33.png[/url]]
 
34. Rename the other .act file, this time with a male prefix.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/34.png[/url]]
 
35. Make a copy of your recolored .spr file.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/35.png[/url]]
 
36. Rename the original and the copy to have the same names as the .act files (one male, one female)
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/36.png[/url]]
 
37. Move the male sprites to the male folder..
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/37.png[/url]]
 
38. And move the female sprites to the female folder..
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/38.png[/url]]
 
39. Go into the female folder and copy the .spr file to your clip board. Next, go up two directories so you can get into the drop sprite folder.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/39.png[/url]]
 
40. Paste the .spr from your clip board inside of the drop sprite folder. It still needs a .act, so let's go grab it!
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/40.png[/url]]
 
41. Navigate to where you extracted files from the GRF in steps 4 and 5.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/41.png[/url]]
 
42. Find the .act file associated with the headgear you chose to recolor. (Technically any .act in this folder will work fine, but for the sake of consistency in this tutorial, just humor me and do it.)
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/42.png[/url]]
 
 
43. Paste the .act file into where you have YOUR recolored sprite in your drop sprite folder.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/43.png[/url]]
 
44. And rename it. Note: Take off any prefix (female or male) your files may have.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/44.png[/url]]
 
45. Next, go up two directories into the "data" folder. If you've already made a texture folder, ignore this step.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/45.png[/url]]
 
46. And inside this folder named texture, create the "collection" and "item" folders if you haven't already. (If you've followed this tutorial step by step, then disregard this step as you should have already created them.) We will, however, need to get back into the GRF and pull out the collection and item images belonging to the original sprite.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/46.png[/url]]
 
47. So, let's re-open GRF Tool and open data.grf back up if you've closed it already.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/47.png[/url]]
 
48. Search for "item" and then click "Extract", and extract the files to whatever folder you extracted the .spr and .act files to.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/48.png[/url]]
 
49. Search for "collection" and then click "Extract", and extract the files to whatever folder you extracted the .spr and .act files to.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/49.png[/url]]
 
50. Navigate to the folder you just extracted all of the item/collection images to (data/texture/À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º/). Inside you will see two folders; collection and image
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/50.png[/url]]
 
51. Inside of the collection folder, find the image associated with your headgear you recolored, copy/paste it into your own collection image folder, and load the copied version into Photoshop.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/51.png[/url]]
 
52. Inside of the item folder, find the image associated with your headgear you recolored, copy/paste it into your own item image folder, and load the copied version into Photoshop.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/52.png[/url]]
 
53. Just to clarify,
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/53.png[/url]]
 
54. Now, rename the files to what you named your recolored sprite,
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/54.png[/url]]
 
55. Now, in Photoshop, let's play with Replace color once again!
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/55.png[/url]]
 
56. Replace the colors you need to, and save the image.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/56.png[/url]]
 
57. Repeat with the second image,
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/57.png[/url]]
 
58. Go to /data/texture/ and if your "item" and "collection" folders aren't already inside of the long filename folder, À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º/, then move them into it.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/58.png[/url]]
 
59. At the end, you should have the following (assuming you did the same recolor as shown above, with the same filenames) files / file heirarchy:
 
data
------- sprite
------- ------- ¾ÆÀÌÅÛ
------- ------- ------- racoon_head_recolor.spr
------- ------- ------- racoon_head_recolor.act
------- ------- ¾Ç¼¼»ç¸®
------- ------- ------- ¿©
------- ------- ------- ------- ¿©_racoon_head_recolor.spr
------- ------- ------- ------- ¿©_racoon_head_recolor.act
------- ------- ------- ³²
------- ------- ------- ------- ³²_racoon_head_recolor.spr
------- ------- ------- ------- ³²_racoon_head_recolor.act
------- texture------- ------- À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º
------- ------- ------- item
------- ------- ------- ------- racoon_head_recolor.bmp
------- ------- ------- collection
------- ------- ------- ------- racoon_head_recolor.bmp
 
Additional Notes
 
This tutorial only covers creating the sprites. There are still additional steps to get them in-game: Creating the sprites is the most time-consuming part of the entire process, however.

http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/30.png[/url]]
 
31. Make a copy of the .act file.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/31.png[/url]]
 
32. Rename it, and keep the female prefix.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/32.png[/url]]
 
33. Select the male folder as if to rename it, but just copy the filename into your clipboard (Ctrl+C)
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/33.png[/url]]
 
34. Rename the other .act file, this time with a male prefix.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/34.png[/url]]
 
35. Make a copy of your recolored .spr file.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/35.png[/url]]
 
36. Rename the original and the copy to have the same names as the .act files (one male, one female)
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/36.png[/url]]
 
37. Move the male sprites to the male folder..
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/37.png[/url]]
 
38. And move the female sprites to the female folder..
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/38.png[/url]]
 
39. Go into the female folder and copy the .spr file to your clip board. Next, go up two directories so you can get into the drop sprite folder.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/39.png[/url]]
 
40. Paste the .spr from your clip board inside of the drop sprite folder. It still needs a .act, so let's go grab it!
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/40.png[/url]]
 
41. Navigate to where you extracted files from the GRF in steps 4 and 5.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/41.png[/url]]
 
42. Find the .act file associated with the headgear you chose to recolor. (Technically any .act in this folder will work fine, but for the sake of consistency in this tutorial, just humor me and do it.)
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/42.png[/url]]
 
 
43. Paste the .act file into where you have YOUR recolored sprite in your drop sprite folder.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/43.png[/url]]
 
44. And rename it. Note: Take off any prefix (female or male) your files may have.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/44.png[/url]]
 
45. Next, go up two directories into the "data" folder. If you've already made a texture folder, ignore this step.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/45.png[/url]]
 
46. And inside this folder named texture, create the "collection" and "item" folders if you haven't already. (If you've followed this tutorial step by step, then disregard this step as you should have already created them.) We will, however, need to get back into the GRF and pull out the collection and item images belonging to the original sprite.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/46.png[/url]]
 
47. So, let's re-open GRF Tool and open data.grf back up if you've closed it already.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/47.png[/url]]
 
48. Search for "item" and then click "Extract", and extract the files to whatever folder you extracted the .spr and .act files to.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/48.png[/url]]
 
49. Search for "collection" and then click "Extract", and extract the files to whatever folder you extracted the .spr and .act files to.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/49.png[/url]]
 
50. Navigate to the folder you just extracted all of the item/collection images to (data/texture/À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º/). Inside you will see two folders; collection and image
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/50.png[/url]]
 
51. Inside of the collection folder, find the image associated with your headgear you recolored, copy/paste it into your own collection image folder, and load the copied version into Photoshop.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/51.png[/url]]
 
52. Inside of the item folder, find the image associated with your headgear you recolored, copy/paste it into your own item image folder, and load the copied version into Photoshop.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/52.png[/url]]
 
53. Just to clarify,
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/53.png[/url]]
 
54. Now, rename the files to what you named your recolored sprite,
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/54.png[/url]]
 
55. Now, in Photoshop, let's play with Replace color once again!
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/55.png[/url]]
 
56. Replace the colors you need to, and save the image.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/56.png[/url]]
 
57. Repeat with the second image,
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/57.png[/url]]
 
58. Go to /data/texture/ and if your "item" and "collection" folders aren't already inside of the long filename folder, À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º/, then move them into it.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/58.png[/url]]
 
59. At the end, you should have the following (assuming you did the same recolor as shown above, with the same filenames) files / file heirarchy:
 
data
------- sprite
------- ------- ¾ÆÀÌÅÛ
------- ------- ------- racoon_head_recolor.spr
------- ------- ------- racoon_head_recolor.act
------- ------- ¾Ç¼¼»ç¸®
------- ------- ------- ¿©
------- ------- ------- ------- ¿©_racoon_head_recolor.spr
------- ------- ------- ------- ¿©_racoon_head_recolor.act
------- ------- ------- ³²
------- ------- ------- ------- ³²_racoon_head_recolor.spr
------- ------- ------- ------- ³²_racoon_head_recolor.act
------- texture------- ------- À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º
------- ------- ------- item
------- ------- ------- ------- racoon_head_recolor.bmp
------- ------- ------- collection
------- ------- ------- ------- racoon_head_recolor.bmp

Tools/Things You Will Need

  Photoshop CS4 or above (I use CS6 in this tutorial) SprConview GRF Tool WeeThumbnail Viewer (instructions on how to install below) 800mb-1.5gb Available HDD space

Optional:

  Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 or GIMP (not included in toolpack.zip below; not necessary)

Preface/Getting Started
First and foremost, download my tool package here: http://www.jtynne.co...es/toolpack.zip

  This tool pack contains SprConview, GRF Tool, and other essential programs I use when working on the server (Browedit, various patchers for different official RO servers, etc) Extract the entire tool pack to a location on your computer that you can easily find/return to.

Guide
1. Navigate to your GRF Tool program from the tool pack contents. Open it, click "Open", and find your data.grf (located in your CasualRO install folder):
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/1.png [/url]]
 
2. Let's make sure we have our GRF Tool configured properly. Click on "Settings" and make sure the first option is selected.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/2.png[/url]]
 
3. Now, we're going to extract ALL of the .spr files from the GRF. Search for .spr and hit enter, or click the button on the right to search. (GO TO STEP 5 TO LEARN HOW TO EXTRACT)
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/3.png[/url]]
 
4. (You will return to do the same as step 3, but after you do the extraction process in step 5)
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/4.png[/url]]
 
 
 
5. When you've found all the .spr or .act files, click "Extract", make a new folder, and name it something you'll remember in a location you can easily return to. Then click OK to begin the extraction process.
 http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/5.png[/url]]
 
6. After you've extracted both .spr and .act files, navigate to where you extracted them. Once you get to the /data/sprite/ folder, you'll see a ton of folders and other files. Refer to the image below to find the drop sprite folder and the headgear folder. These are the only two we will use for this tutorial. I've made note of where monsters and robes are located in case you want to take a gander in them.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/6.png[/url]]
 
7. Let's dive into the headgears folder.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/7.png[/url]]
 
8. As you can see above, I can see previews of sprites in my folders. This is important because NOTHING is named in English besides a few of the newer class sprites, so you will also want to be able to visibly see a preview of what each sprite file is of. That said, navigate to you extracted the toolpack.zip, and go into the WeeThumbnail folder, and then into the folder noted in the screencapture below. Double click "Install". Head back into your sprites folder. If you can't see previews still, reboot your computer. Then return to the headgears folder in step 7.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/8.png[/url]]
 
9. I always work with the female headgear sprites as my bases for recolors because a lot of the female sprites have an extra frame in their .spr file, that the male sprites for whatever reason lack. If you work with male headgear sprites as bases, you'll encounter crashes in-game due to the missing frame, so let's go into the female headgear sprite folder as noted in step 7.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/9.png[/url]]
 
10. For this tutorial, I've opted to make a recolor of the Racoon Doll Hat. You will want to copy both the .act and .spr file with the same filename.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/10.png[/url]]
 
11. Now, let's move these into a safe location and set up our folder hierarchy.

  Create a folder on your desktop named "data" Inside of this folder, create two folders, "sprite" and "texture" Go into the "sprite" folder Once inside the sprite folder, create a folder with the following name: ¾ÆÀÌÅÛ While still inside the sprite folder, create another folder with this name: ¾Ç¼¼»ç¸® Go inside of the folder named ¾Ç¼¼»ç¸® and create two folders; one named ¿© and the other named ³² Navigate backwards into the "data" folder again, and enter the "texture" folder Inside the texture folder, create a folder called À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º Go into the folder called À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º and create two folders named "item" and "collection"

At the end of this hierarchy creation, you should have the following hierarchy created:
 
data
------- sprite
------- ------- ¾ÆÀÌÅÛ
------- ------- ¾Ç¼¼»ç¸®
------- ------- ------- ¿©
------- ------- ------- ³²
------- texture
------- ------- À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º
------- ------- ------- item
------- ------- ------- collection
 
Remember when I told you to copy the .act and .spr in step 10? Locate where you copied those files to, and I recommend placing them within data/sprite/¾Ç¼¼»ç¸®/ for the time being as seen below.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/11.png[/url]]
 
12. Now, when you double-click .spr files, by default, Windows usually has NO idea what to do with them. So let's assign the default program to open .spr files to be SprConview from the toolpack.zip archive. Right-click the .spr file, go to "Open With", and "Choose default program..."
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/12.png[/url]]
 
13. Chances are high that SprConview won't be in your Recommended Programs list, so if it's not, click "Browse", locate where you extracted the toolpack.zip contents, and locate SprConview inside of that folder. Once you've found it, make sure you check the box on the left so .spr files always open with Sprconview. Then click OK.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/13.png[/url]]
 
14. Once you've assigned SprConview to open the .spr files, double click the sprite to open it!
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/14.png[/url]]
 
15. Now, let's extract the frames from the sprite file by converting each frame into a .bmp image. Click "Convert" and select "Spr to Bmp"
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/15.png[/url]]
 
16. A new box will appear. Under "Sprite" click the Browse button to the right of the blank field. Select the sprite (use the preview window to confirm it's the file you want) and click "Open".
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/16.png[/url]]
 
17. Next, enter a name in the BMP directory field (no need to click browse; just write a name for a new folder to be created where you're currently located). Click "Convert" to extract the frames.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/17.png[/url]]
 
18. Navigate into the folder the frames were extracted into.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/18.png[/url]]
 
19. It's time to open CS4 or above!
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/19.png[/url]]
 
20. Open just the very first file (far left side, usually numbered 001 at the end of the file name) in Photoshop. Once open, go to "Image" -> "Adjustments" -> "Replace Color"
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/20.png[/url]]
 
21. Replace the colors until you achieve a coloration you like! I've opted to make this head all gray (like a real racoon!), but you can easily make it any color(s) you want by playing with the Hue/Saturation/Lightness sliders.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/21.png[/url]]
 
22. Once you're satisfied with your coloration, save the file.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/22.png[/url]]
 
23. This is just an aside really, but you only have to edit the first frame of each sprite in order to achieve the recolor effect throughout the entire sprite. This is because later when we convert the bmp back into a .spr, SprConview uses only the first frame to create the palette for the sprite file. Super handy and saves time! I used to edit every single frame, but it's not necessary to do.
 
24. Once you've saved the file, you should see the preview image update with your changes in the folder.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/24.png[/url]]
 
25. It's time to repack these .bmp images into a sprite file! Back in SprConview, click "Convert", and this time select the second option "Bmp to Spr".
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/25.png[/url]]
 
26. A new window will appear. Click "Add" and another box will open. Left click the first image (the one you recolored) then hold down shift and left-click the very last image at the bottom. This will select all of the frames in the correct order. Then click "Open".
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/26.png[/url]]
 
27. Now enter the filename you wish to assign to your recolored sprite. Make sure you include the .spr file extension at the end of the name. I've chosen "racoon_head_recolor.spr" for this demonstration. Uncheck the "Encode" box. We no longer use this option in the clients and leaving it checked will cause your sprite to display incorrectly once in-game. Once you've done the preceeding instructions, click "Convert".
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/27.png[/url]]
 
28. Your newly created sprite will appear in the same folder the .bmp frames are found, so jump back in there if you were elsewhere.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/28.png[/url]]
 
29. Admire your work! No, actually, make sure all of the frames are there, and that you can't see the background color from the .bmp files. It should include all of the frames you originally extracted from the original sprite. Below, I've opened the sprite in five different windows to see all angles. It's not necessary to do, but helps to see an overview of your work.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/29.png[/url]]
 
30. Copy and paste your newly recolored sprite up one directory where you pasted the original .spr and .act files. Now, let's tidy things up a bit.. If you have any extra files besides the original .spr and .act, delete those. Keep the female and male folders, AND the default .act as we still need that.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/30.png[/url]]
 
31. Make a copy of the .act file.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/31.png[/url]]
 
32. Rename it, and keep the female prefix.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/32.png[/url]]
 
33. Select the male folder as if to rename it, but just copy the filename into your clipboard (Ctrl+C)
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/33.png[/url]]
 
34. Rename the other .act file, this time with a male prefix.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/34.png[/url]]
 
35. Make a copy of your recolored .spr file.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/35.png[/url]]
 
36. Rename the original and the copy to have the same names as the .act files (one male, one female)
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/36.png[/url]]
 
37. Move the male sprites to the male folder..
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/37.png[/url]]
 
38. And move the female sprites to the female folder..
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/38.png[/url]]
 
39. Go into the female folder and copy the .spr file to your clip board. Next, go up two directories so you can get into the drop sprite folder.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/39.png[/url]]
 
40. Paste the .spr from your clip board inside of the drop sprite folder. It still needs a .act, so let's go grab it!
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/40.png[/url]]
 
41. Navigate to where you extracted files from the GRF in steps 4 and 5.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/41.png[/url]]
 
42. Find the .act file associated with the headgear you chose to recolor. (Technically any .act in this folder will work fine, but for the sake of consistency in this tutorial, just humor me and do it.)
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/42.png[/url]]
 
 
43. Paste the .act file into where you have YOUR recolored sprite in your drop sprite folder.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/43.png[/url]]
 
44. And rename it. Note: Take off any prefix (female or male) your files may have.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/44.png[/url]]
 
45. Next, go up two directories into the "data" folder. If you've already made a texture folder, ignore this step.

http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/47.png[/url]]
 
48. Search for "item" and then click "Extract", and extract the files to whatever folder you extracted the .spr and .act files to.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/48.png[/url]]
 
49. Search for "collection" and then click "Extract", and extract the files to whatever folder you extracted the .spr and .act files to.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/49.png[/url]]
 
50. Navigate to the folder you just extracted all of the item/collection images to (data/texture/À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º/). Inside you will see two folders; collection and image
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/50.png[/url]]
 
51. Inside of the collection folder, find the image associated with your headgear you recolored, copy/paste it into your own collection image folder, and load the copied version into Photoshop.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/51.png[/url]]
 
52. Inside of the item folder, find the image associated with your headgear you recolored, copy/paste it into your own item image folder, and load the copied version into Photoshop.
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/52.png[/url]]
 
53. Just to clarify,
http--,,--//justintfields.com/guides/recolors/53.png[/url]]

We don't have it yet ^^; We are missing most of the stuff from episode 14.1 and onward. This list was made as a way to figure out what all we're missing, and work on getting back on track to matching official like we used to in the glory days.

This is a work in progress. Parts will be added as they are organized.
 
This topic will list out the major episode releases of kRO and the updates under them. This is to keep track of what episodes had which updates. This will assist us in making sure we aren't missing anything in Hercules. The dates below are for Main server release, not RE/Sakray testing period.

im going to hack the shit out of this game

Could you post the error here, the debug itself

their will be a huge update this month

You and the others are amazing and I love you. Please have my children.
 
On a serious note, thank you. That Sirius no longer provides support for a $200 product is disappointing, but that's the internet for you. Renewable liscences would have been more preferred than having to wait for members from a different project all together to make someone else's paid product work on their software. That said, the commitment to ensuring end-users like myself without the coding knowledge necessary to accomplish such feats is greatly appreciated.

File Name: Christmas Smokey Recolors by jTynne
File Submitter: jTynne
File Submitted: 30 Nov 2013
File Category: Sprites & Palettes
 
Simple monster sprite recolors for inclusion in various Christmas themed events. Includes the original red Gift and Sock Smokey, and four recolors of each in Green, Purple, Blue, and Icey (powder blue). See screenshot for recolors.
 
I don't provide support on how to implement custom monsters or how to get the sprites to work in your game client. Look around the forum or google spriting guides. I simply am sharing some recolors I've made for my own use.
 
Click here to download this file

i guess its something to do with extra data in equips, that bindonequip collumn was added, and other changes, etc
 
anyway the whole plugin is coded crappy, and using the new plugin hooks it could be made much more efficiently
currently it loops every vender every few minutes and empties the vend sql and refills it..every few minutes O_O
 
it should be rebuilt with hooks of the create_vend, close_vend, sell_vend functions, (not sure of actual function names from my head)
and update the vend table from these hooks, so there is only a small sql update when something happens, instead of flooding every minutes..
 
however i lack the time to do this

This is a very simple event script I created for the GM's of my server.
 
Basically, you type one command and it spawns 5 "Wandering Porings" on the map of your choosing.
 
You will want to customize the prizes that you receive from the event (it gives Red/Yellow/Orange/White/Blue Potions by default). It's also extremely easy to add in additional prizes.
 
// Syntax: Item ID / Quantity
if(.@prize == 1) { getitem 501,1; }
if(.@prize == 2) { getitem 502,1; }
if(.@prize == 3) { getitem 503,1; }
if(.@prize == 4) { getitem 504,1; }
if(.@prize == 5) { getitem 505,1; }
// 25 Poring Coins Base Prize
getitem 7539,25;
 
Below is the code; After you change the values noted above in red, you should be able to just save this as a .txt, load it in-game, and voila.

rAthena to Hercules database converters
 
Hello~! What?!
I've observed a big rise of rAthena to Hercules database conversion requests this week, so I've just revised again the converters I made before and will be releasing on the repository so that people can find them more easily. What does that do?
We have two new .SQL files on our repository that make the conversion easy. One is for applying on the main ragnarok table (sql-files/rathena-main-upgrade.sql) and the other is for the logs one (sql-files/rathena-logs-upgrade.sql).Please remember to make a backup prior to converting the database, just in case something goes wrong. This is meant to convert a fully upgraded rAthena to a fully upgraded Hercules. If you have some uninstalled rAthena upgrades please install them first. Avoid using it if there has been an upgrade posted in rAthena newer than the date of the converter or, at least, you didn't apply it or know how to undo the changes (remember that main.sql is usually fully upgraded both in Hercules and in rAthena). Some data (especially the data we don't use here on Hercules may be lost on the conversion). We'll not be resposible for this. How does it work?
Plain and simple: just load them on the respective databases you have in rAthena, as if they were the original main.sql or logs.sql. Obviously enough, they won't work if you don't have CREATE, ALTER, INDEX and DROP permissions (and maybe others too) for the user(s) you'll be running this. These converters will NOT work if you changed the table names. Special thanks
rAthena staff for their database structure and upgrades. Hercules staff for the database structure and upgrades. All the users that requested the converters in their respective topics. for suggesting this to be committed to the repository. @Haru for last minute corrections. Disclaimer
As I warned before, there may be some intended or unintended data loss. Please make a backup before applying. This may get outdated quite quicly without me noticing about that. If that's so, please make a pull request or ping me to update the converter when I have time. I've avoided to name the files as "upgrades" here on the topic, but I've named them like that to make them have the name structure as the eAthena upgrade. This is NOT an offense to rAthena staff by any means. People are requesting this, so I made the conversion process easy for them, much like rAthena made a converter from eAthena and nobody got offended. Just that. Links~u!

Yes its possible Use your ragnarok database for IPB login.
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
1. Disable forum registrations so that the only way to register is via your server’s registration.(There a setting to redirect IPB’s registration link to your CP’s registration page)   2.  Use IPB’s built in merge account feature to merge your users’ existing account to the new account.   3. Disable IPB’s internal login. Using two databases would be messy, really messy don’t even try!     Credits to: clydelion

There we go https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/commit/baef78f7954fa4e6fa2449f2c7de92a901c7f5f3 this is the base of the feature, which allows for shadow gear to be created (the item db entries)

This is a very simple event script I created for the GM's of my server.
 
Basically, you type one command and it spawns 5 "Wandering Porings" on the map of your choosing.
 
You will want to customize the prizes that you receive from the event (it gives Red/Yellow/Orange/White/Blue Potions by default). It's also extremely easy to add in additional prizes.

Hey Guys!


Thought I'd show off a map i just finished today.  Its a vending map that was requested of me by a customer.
Lemme know what you guys think!


The customer wanted something similar to my Novice Grounds and Ilyo Kwan map.
Its a map for vendors, so the center of each island is pretty bare for ease of vending.
Also I didn't want to take away from the fact thats its a vending map, so I kept the decorations simple.
