Added
Added/updated packets, encryption keys and message tables for clients up to 2020-02-06. (#2625)
Added support for the expanded barter shop, see example script in `npc/custom/expandedbartershop.txt` and the related script commands `sellitem()`, `startsellitem()`, `sellitemcurrency()`, `endsellitem()`. Note: this includes a database migration. (part of #2625)
Added the new script commands `cloakonnpc()` and `cloakoffnpc()`. (part of #2615)
Added the new script command `achievement_iscompleted()` to check for achievement completion. (part of #2615)
Added Exploration Achievement NPCs. (#2615)
Added support for an `OnNPCUnload` label, where a script can perform its cleanup before being unloaded (such as removing mapflags, etc). (part of #2590)
Added the Rebellion jobchange quest and its related mobs and items. (#2621)
Added support for switching madogear type. See the documentation for `setmount()` and the related `MADO_ROBOT` and `MADO_SUITE` constants. (#2586)
 
Changed
Changed the logic of `skill_get_index` to make it easier to add new skills, custom or official. (#2596)
Refactored `int_party` code related to exp sharing calculations. (part of #2601)
Updated the Duel system cooldown to be configurable with seconds granularity. The `duel_time_interval` setting can be safely updated and with `@reloadbattleconf`, applying to any existing cooldowns. (#1495)
Converted `PACKET_ZC_STATE_CHANGE` to use its struct format and added a function to send it to a single target. (part of #2615)
Changed the behavior of `@unloadnpc`, `@reloadnpc`, `@unloadnpcfile` to kill the monsters that were spawned by the unloaded script (non-permanent spawns). (#2590, issue #2530)
Updated the `mobdbconverter.py` tool to support Race, Size and Element constants. The script now requires Python 3. (#2620)
Cleaned up a duplicate definition of `SP_VARCASTRATE` in `pc_readparam()`. (#2624, issue #1311)
Extended `itemskill()` with a new `ISF_INSTANTCAST` flag to be able to cast a skill without cast time. (part of #2616)
Extended `itemskill()` with a new `ISF_CASTONSELF` flag to be able to forcefully cast a skill on the invoking character. (part of #2616)
Converted `ZC_AUTORUN_SKILL` to use its struct format. (part of #2616)
 
Fixed
Fixed some signed/unsigned mismatch compiler warnings. (#2601, issue #1434)
Fixed some cases where the family exp sharing state wasn't correctly detected. (part of #2601)
Fixed a duplicate "Skill Failed" message when using Asura Strike. (part of #2248, issue #1239)
Fixed an issue that made a character turn to face its target after casting Asura Strike. (#2248, issue #1239)
Fixed the position of a character after a failed Asura Strike cast, to be 3 cells from its original position instead of 2. (part of #2248, issue #1239)
Fixed the status icon from the Elemental Resistance Potions and the Undead Element Scroll not disappearing when the status changes end. (#2614, issue #2593)
Fixed a crash when using `@loadnpc`, `@reloadnpc` or `@unloadnpcfile` on a directory. (part of #2590, issue #2179)
Fixed `PR_STRECOVERY` to only cure status effects if the target's element isn't Undead. (#2618, issue #2558)
Fixed the mobs spawned by `mob_clone_spawn()` (`clone()`, `@evilclone`) being invulnerable because of an uninitialized `dmg_taken_rate` taking the value of 0. (#2617, issue #2607)
Fixed a crash when the script function `getunits()` was called with an invalid mapindex. Now an error message is added when the mapindex validation fails. (#2619)
Fixed a crash when `map_forcountinmap()` was called with an invalid mapindex. Now the function will return 0 instead. (part of #2619)
Fixed clientside errors when using a `ViewData` block in the mob database without specifying a `HairStyleId`. The hair style will now default to 1 when a `ViewData` block is specified. (#2622)
Fixed the damage calculation being too low when using weapons of type `W_RIFLE` (in pre-renewal). (#2623)
Fixed an issue that could cause homunculi to be in an unexpected partially-vaporized state (i.e. when a Vanilmirth kills its own master through `HVAN_EXPLOSION`). (#2626)
Fixed NPC ID validation when `SECURE_NPCTIMEOUT` is defined, causing scripts to abort with an "Unknown NPC" error on the console. (#2627, issue #2073)
Fixed the skill condition checks and the `flag` parameter of `itemskill()`. The constants `ISF_NONE` and `ISF_IGNORECONDITIONS` are now available. (part of #2616)
Fixed the `itemskill()` items to provide their proper Aegis behavior, in their requirement checks, self-targeting and item consumption.  (#2616, issue #819)
Fixed the Earth Spike Scroll to consume 10 SP when `SC_EARTHSCROLL` is active. (part of #2616)
Fixed warnings in the HPMHookGenerator. (1000b10026)

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.
Download OneDrive

Note: you can still encrypt your grf with SecureGRF or Tokei's GRF Editor - just use another name than cps.dll for it.

I answered your question here to have it available if someone is looking for it

As requested here
WeeThumbnail.dll is part of the WeeTools and allows Windows to preview a .spr file. Original Author is Shinryo @rAthena
 
In order to make it work in Windows 10 you need to register the .dll
 
Download x86 or x64 based on your OS Copy the .dll to your windows/system32 folder Click the Windows/Start button in the lower left corner Type CMD - then right click it and select "Run as Administrator" Note: If you run it through Win+R you need to confirm with  Ctrl+Shift+Enter to run it as administrator
Now in CMD Run the following command regsvr32 "C:\Windows\System32\WeeThumbnail.dll" This is how it should look like:
 

 
Afterwards a PopUp from RegSvr32 appears, saying the .dll was installed successfully.
Now Restart your system and Windows should preview .spr files

 
Troubleshooting: 
Error 0x80070005 means you didn't run CMD as admin.
 
 

For those who ask some demo/playthrough to see it live or the difference between AndRO and so on..
Here is a playthrough on my Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Android) :
 
 
And since 03/01/2020 * iOS version is available ! For the first time ever, you'll be able to play Ragnarok on iPhone and iPad !

From a first glance, I wouldn't use this script at all since it is abuseable.
 
If you want an simple ladder i'd rather use Annie's old script and translate this few strings of text to your language.

Never mind, I solved it. 
With the new pack, the exp.txt file no longer exists. It was replaced by exp_group_db.conf found at the same location db/re/exp_group_db.conf

The chrif_authok error had nothing to do with the MAX_LEVEL changed value. 
I changed back every value I modified one by one and tried logging in between. 

I am really grateful to have someone like you lead this community.
Thank you so much for everything you did and do for us.

BETA TEST :
I made 3 days of "real condition" tests with a team of 3 advanced players.

It was successfull, feedbacks were great and they only reported a few bugs in order to play "normally" on a RO server. What a good step !
In parallel, I talked with @Functor about possible Gepard Shield support in XPRO. But as you probably know, including Gepard Shield into Robrowser/AndRO opens a door in your server for bots. And we don't want to break his shield, so I'll work on my own encryption method. It'll be available later on...
 
Infos will come asap, stay tuned  

The dark theme is really nice and is easy on the eyes. Not sure if its just me but im having a little difficulty telling the difference between read and unread post in different sub's. One's with unread posts show text slightly bolder but not enough to tell from a quick glance. Maybe the dark color around the text is overpowering it. There also was a dot on the side to help with this in the light theme. Think its possible to make the text a bit more bolder and have the arrows change into something for those with unread posts?

November Digest 2019
The following digest covers the month of November 1st - November 30th 2019

Team Changes
@skyleo switched from Script Developer to Core Developer @Kenpachi has joined as Core Developer Added
Added an SQL linter. The `./tools/checksql.sh` script can be used to automatically validate the syntax of every file in the `sql-files` folder (note: dependencies might need to be installed through composer). The script is also executed in the Travis builds. (#2582) Added/updated packets, encryption keys and message tables for clients up to 2019-11-13. (#2568)
Added support for packet `CZ_REQ_MOUNTOFF`. (part of #2568) Added a missing building entrance portal in Juno and in Lighthalzen. (#2542) Added the script command `getguildinfo()` and its related constants `GUILDINFO_*`, to lookup information about a guild. (#2566) Added a separate configuration flag in `map_log.enable` to control the logging of `LOG_TYPE_LOOT`. (part of #2560, issue #2414) Added a new log type, `LOG_TYPE_ACHIEVEMENT` and its configuration flag, to control the logging of achievement-granted items. A database migration is required. (#2560, issue #2414) De-hardcoded the boss monsters' resistance to some status effects. It's now controlled by a new `NoBoss` flag in `sc_config`. (#2570) De-hardcoded the combo skills chaining check. It's now controlled by a new `IsCombo` flag in `skill_db`. (#2573) De-hardcoded the status icons. They are now defined through a new `Icon` field in `sc_config`. (#2577) Changed
Added error details to the python converter tools when a libconfig parsing error is encountered. (part of #2568) Converted packet `CZ_LAPINEDDUKDDAK_CLOSE` into a struct. (part of #2568) Updated the location of various NPCs: portals in Juno, sign post in Brasilis, Young Man in Payon (pre-renewal). (part of #2542) Reordered the loading of the stylist DB to be before the loading of NPC scripts, for consistence with the other DB files. (#2571) Fixed
Fixed a syntax error in the `2019-10-12--14-21.sql` migration file. (part of #2582) Fixed an incorrect nullpo check when slave monsters are summoned by an alchemist. (#2574, issue #2576) Fixed the Steal skill not showing the HP bar of the targeted monster right away but only when leaving and re-entering sight range. (part of #2567) Fixed a regression in the Steal skill that caused it to allow stealing of some cards. Card stealing prevention is now enforced by item type rather than by position in the drop list. (#2567) Fixed the `@fakename` to display the overridden name regardless of whether the character is disguised. (#2548, issue #2539) Fixed the `target_to` field not being cleared appropriately, causing monsters to get stuck in a loop walking to their previous target that has died, and causing hunters with auto-attack to be unable to walk away from their target and cancel their attack action. (#2564) Fixed the handling of HULD .po translations that contain the `\r` escape sequence. (#2569) Fixed the unintended clearing of status changes granted by passive guild skills, via `sc_end(SC_ALL)`. (#2575, issue #1147) Deprecated
Deprecated the script command `getguildname()`, use `getguildinfo(GUILDINFO_NAME, <guild id>)` instead.
