This is an update to the intro, to be more specific, to the spawning location and everything happening before the Crituria Academy
 
Changes
New spawning location for RENEWAL is iz_int 18 27New outerior is int_land. You have to do a small quest here. This is optional, you can also go directly to Izlude. The additinal poring drop is fully handled by our quest_db.conf and you do not need to edit anything.  In order to fully support this change, you need the latest translation files for navigation and iteminfo. You can find them here:
https://github.com/ROClientSide/Translation  
The confusion about iz_int
 
We saw question about a black iz_int quite often. Is is also simply why this happens. The map was changed on official, and the small ship was turned into a ship interior. The old coordinates were a black spot on this "new" map, and to fix it, you simply had to put in the "old" iz_int map files.
For this change, you now need the new map, the one. 
I once uploaded both to hercules. In case you need it, you can download it here.
 
The new iz_int is included in any recent kro from the back to december 2015. If you used the old iz_int, you just have to replace it.

mapflags: ( "weapon_damage_rate 200", "magic_damage_rate 200", "misc_damage_rate 200", "long_damage_rate 200", "short_damage_rate 200", ) These will double the attacks (200% Damage)

Offering 2 versions of the grf now. Scroll down for more info. Both data.grf do NOT require rdata.grf.
 
Option 1: (clean standard kRO GRF)
Download OneDrive
 The grf is up-to-date 2018-12-22. Its cleaned up, and optimized. A Lot of invalid content is removed or merged. The size is 1,40gb (1.503.844.793 bytes) compared to the original 2.13gb (2.291.252.926)
Works perfect with all current pre-renewal and/or renewal content (rdata.grf is not needed). You still need the content of the Translation Project in order to use this.
All cutins in this grf are reduced by 35%
Note: This is pure kro data.grf and does not contain any jro/iro/whatever files
 

  
Option 2: GRF with the content of all official servers
Download Mediafire
Download OneDrive
Download Mega
 
This GRF contains all official files. Its cleaned up, and optimized. A Lot of invalid content is removed or merged. The size is 1,43gb (1.536.478.834 bytes)
The grf is up-to-date 2016-08-04.
Please throw a PM on me if this GRF is missing something! I want this to be the most complete one of all
Small summarize
more than 200 additional maps more than 700 additional items more than 60 additional NPC's more than 130 additionalmobs more than 900 additional cutins
 
Instructions:
1. Download the data.7z
2. Extract it
3. Put both (grf + dll) into your RO folder
 
Changelog: Fixed Rock Ridge Illustrations use wrong Magenta (200, 238, 120 instead of 200, 240, 120) Removed chunk  
Option 3: Episode 13.2 Pre-Renewal GRF
This one is 775 MB (812.914.794 Bytes) and great for all kind of pre-re servers.

Great! i think you should change the "pick sex"   ---> Select Gender

I hope to get this added, it is a very important to track and monitor cash movement of players

You know this really makes the dev team look very organized... not.
There really needs to be some organized structure if this emulator is to remain competitive. 
 
Thanks to rid and hemag for starting the project, thanks dast for agreeing to help, but if there was proper organization this would have been done a long time ago. And the fault isn't with you guys, not even the slightest. The top needs to get organized and set a proper vision and goal for herc. Perhaps get a person who will take care of planning and communication with the community. 
 
Just my observation from what's been going on since the start of the year.

k small update here. Apparently Hemagx dropped it so we had to start over. Dastgir will help out now but we have to start over again. I'm aware of rAthena's pr of the clan system, but ours will be different (there is no intention to merge theirs). Our plan is to make it configureable with a config file. We also talked about having some other neat features which will make it quite customizable (could be used for a faction system) and easy to add your own clans. 
No promise here, but we also try to make the clan quests included in the initial commit. As said, these are plans we have and hopefully reach soon

No edits were made, no file deleted. Just compressing to get it below 2gb.

Q: Is it the same as this?
A: Yes but 1gb smaller (1,79gb instead of 2,68gb)
