I'm not sure if I'm right to post here, I hesitated a lot by fear of being reprimanded. But I'm convinced the project worths to be known and don't be lost in oblivion... So that's why I venture to post, so please forgive me if crowdfunding is not allowed. I try to be fair as much in this demarche.
So, now let's explain the project :
XPRO
https://intro.vykimo.com/
I. PRINCIPLE
Based on the project RoBrowser by KeyWorld (a RO client on web browser). XPRO is the project to update RoBrowser and to bring it into Mobile devices.

XPRO goal is to fully support this following exe version (latest version supported by rAthena): 2018-06-20aRagexe.

This project is very huge and it's currently the most advanced custom RO client ever made. And it has the main advantage to be cross platform (Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android supported) and very lightweight (ressources can be downloaded only when needed by the game engine).
 
II. MORE INFOS
You can find more infos on progress on my personnal website : https://vykimo.com/ (menu : zerobrowser)

Watch it live - Playthrough in Orc Dungeon :
 
 
UPDATE 10/12/2019
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...
 
UPDATE 03/01/2020
iOS version is out ! For the first time ever, you'll be able to play Ragnarok on iPhone and iPad !
 
Infos will come asap, stay tuned

Map infos
Update is related to map infos. Recently pushed by Gravity, a system that allow you to see on minimap where are located some strategic points on a map.
Navigation isn't implemented so clicking on it does nothing for now.

In addition, I added icons upon head of some key NPCs which are described in `signboardlist.lub` (you know? sometimes you see floating icons on map ^^).

I'm not sure if I'm right to post here, I hesitated a lot by fear of being reprimanded. But I'm convinced the project worths to be known and don't be lost in oblivion... So that's why I venture to post, so please forgive me if crowdfunding is not allowed. I try to be fair as much in this demarche.

Renew UI : Storage
Storage UI has been updated ! Now you're able to open mini windows, resize them, make a search (unlike official, my version is not case sensitive) and sort your storage by name (fall or rise).
I tried to reproduce tricky behavior (escape key to close mini windows faster), resizing, save windows location etc... But some needs confirmation. For instance, what goes into Costume tab?.. even in my own client nothing goes inside. Maybe it's related to 'itemInfo.lua' with 'costume' field.

Hope you like how it looks!

 
NB: You can watch progress on page : https://vykimo.com/zerobrowser . And propose some features + give infos/tests.

Very Nice <3 

Continuing in that way : 
Heals (cylinders fx)
This time, I tried to mimic heal effects. It contains several textures (cylinders, particles) and it has a lot of randomization.
You can see here the comparison between my version and official effects. I spent +20 hours on these effects.
In the gif, you can see:
Low heal High heal Highest heal Offensive heal Logout cylinder Teleport effect src: https://vykimo.com/zerobrowser

 
(Still looking for help from you, if you have infos about textures used in specialeffects it could be nice !)

@vykimo
NICE! keepup the good work! everthing is looking awesome, im very curious on how it all done, lets hope it goes full realease ;]

cant donate via paypal ;/
 

Update 19/01/2019 :
Official skill list
Finally the updated version of skill tree landed! It was a serious lack in robrowser, we only had the old 2008~2009 skill list version.
Now, zeroBrowser supports pre-setting skills points, apply and reset. It also support multi-tab and skills description now follow official behavior (checkbox).

Official skill tree
And the major update is the very famous Skill Tree view !!
Multi-tab, prerequisites visualisation (as you can see on the screenshot), and skill level selection are now available. (You can even notice your sitting character on bottom left side corner ^^)


Hope you'll like this update that I found essential.
 
NB: After seeing screenshots, I think that it's not obvious... but these screenshots are from ZeroBrowser .
 

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

All rights and credits belong to Gravity
 
Note: you can still encrypt your grf with SecureGRF or Tokei's GRF Editor - just use another name than cps.dll for it.
updated thread 2019-01-13

getting tired of people keep sending me personal message -> how do I apply your koe patch
after about 6 PMs or so I getting really fed up,
only then I realize there is no guide to properly teach members how to apply a diff file, so here I make one for you guys
First step
A lot of people download hercules in .zip format. This is WRONG.

instead, follow the proper guide and use tortoisegit (if you are using windows) to download your server
This is the proper guide on how to install hercules

 
Question: but I am using rathena, not hercules
Answer: just change the link into rathena ones
https://github.com/rathena/rathena/wiki/Install-on-Windows
 
 
Second step
after you get your proper server, the first thing you have to do is get rid of your current one
this is the painful process, because you did not follow the guide
but on the up side, you can always update your server every week just by Git pull
which already mentioned in that installation topic guide
Question: but every time I Git pull, it always ask to resolve conflicts
Answer: that's the reason hercules community stop providing patch file and transition towards plugin system
you should always keep your server up to date with the latest revision as we always add new features and bug fix
nobody on the board like to give support on old emulator
Question: but rathena doesn't have plugin system
Answer: yes rathena doesn't support right now, but will be soon in the near future. rathena already slowly transition towards C++ format
 
 
Third Step
now you have a .diff file, download the file somewhere, right click on it

then point the link towards your hercules installation folder
Apply Patch Serial... Review/apply single patch... if either option doesn't work, try the other
 
 
Disclaimer:
I am windows user, so I never use Linux or Centos whatever,
so this guide is purely meant for those keep bombard my PM box over and over

Continuing in that way : 
Heals (cylinders fx)

Update 30/12/2018 :
Specialeffects
As you probably know, all the specialeffects (excepted str effects) are hardcoded in the client.
So, a big challenge is to reproduce the look of several effects we use everyday, as good as we can.
This task is the most laborous and hard part.
For instance, you can see my version of Warp NPC vs Official. I tried to reproduce it as close as official one.

BTW I'm looking for the list of effects with ressources that's use in data/texture/effect folder. If someone have partial or complete infos, I'm here!

While I really want this to succeed I have my doubts. I've been involved with this community for many, many years (since 2005 / 12+ years).
I've seen so many "new RO client", "custom RO client", "client rewrite", "open source client" projects, and absolutely none of them have succeeded. They all get to at least this stage:
Map Viewer Chat Character creation / rendering Then they stop being interested in developing it, get burnt out and then quit. Biggest issue they all have? So far, out of the 5 or 6 projects I've seen pop up since 2005, only one of them ever shared their source code. If you're going to actively pursue this goal, share the code. Open source it and invite in more developers. Having it closed source + paid / donations to get access is going to get you in deep legal shit with Gravity. Do not think "oh they can't" or "they don't know who I am" or "they can't find me", believe me it's not hard. They know who pretty much everyone is irl that has massive contributions within the athena community.
Open source it as an educational project, do not advertise it as an "RO Client". Like with athena, advertise it as an "MMORPG Client". Make a solid core framework that you can then extend with RO specifics to build a client capable of running RO.
There are many old school athena developers who would join this project if you simply opened it up and had some serious noticeable progress on it.
Do not make the same mistake as all those other dead projects.

Another feature to bring to RO some fresh air (and to looks like more like an actual mmorpg).
We are all accustomed to play some characters with no voices but what if they can now shouting when dying, attacking, receiving damage and even shouting some skill's names?
 
I called it "Voices Mod by Vykimo", take a look at this video demo :

 
Feel free to express your feeling about this very very unusual thing in Ragnarok. 

Hi all, here is my latest work: Emergency Call Cooldown.
 


Easy for the player and good looking.
Please review it.

Hi all,
Here my latest preview video of one of my stuff : Video animation In Game
 





If you noticed in the video, the main advantage of my mod is that you can continue talking with the NPC while watching the video !!
 
Please, give me feedbacks ! 
If you like my stuff, don't forget to follow my profile to get informed of new RO stuff I post on forum !
