add_custom_map.md

Requirements:

1. Tokei's GRF Editor, can be downloaded here
2. WeeMapCache, can be downloaded here
3. rAthena

Steps

1. Open GRF Editor
2. Open kRO's data.grf (or any grf file taht you think it contains the map that you want)
3. Find files for gld2_ maps

3. Select all files with .gat, Right-click > Extract

4. It will open new explorer window, then rename those files
   • gld2_prt.gat > arena_prt_f.gat
   • gld2_pay.gat > arena_pay_f.gat
   • gld2_gef.gat > arena_gef_f.gat
   • gld2_ald.gat > arena_ald_f.gat

5. Back to GRF Editor, you need to extract 4 mini maps (.bmp) for those maps
6. Now open WeeMapCache, Open from rathena/db/import/map_cache.dat (default is empty, if you find none, copy it frist from rathena/db/import-tmpl/map_cache.dat)
7. Click File+ icon to add the map

8. Select the .gat files
9. Then save it.
10. Now open rathena/conf/import/map_conf.txt, add these lines, save then close it

map: arena_pay_f
map: arena_prt_f
map: arena_ald_f
map: arena_gef_f

11. Now open rathena/db/import/map_index.txt, add these lines, save then close it (there's tab -not spaces- between the map name & the number)

arena_pay_f	1100
arena_prt_f
arena_ald_f
arena_gef_f

12. Now move .gat files into your ROClient/data/ (only if you GRF is patched to read data folder first, or you neeed to add the .gat files into .grf)
13. Now open ROClient/data/mapnametable.txt, add these lines, save then close it

arena_prt_f.rsw#Battle Arena - Prontera#
arena_gef_f.rsw#Battle Arena - Geffen#
arena_ald_f.rsw#Battle Arena - Aldebaran#
arena_pay_f.rsw#Battle Arena - Payon#

14. Now open ROClient/data/resnametable.txt, add these lines, save then close it

arena_prt_f.gnd#gld2_prt.gnd#
arena_prt_f.gat#gld2_prt.gat#
arena_prt_f.rsw#gld2_prt.rsw#
arena_gef_f.gnd#gld2_gef.gnd#
arena_gef_f.gat#gld2_gef.gat#
arena_gef_f.rsw#gld2_gef.rsw#
arena_ald_f.gnd#gld2_ald.gnd#
arena_ald_f.gat#gld2_ald.gat#
arena_ald_f.rsw#gld2_ald.rsw#
arena_pay_f.gnd#gld2_pay.gnd#
arena_pay_f.gat#gld2_pay.gat#
arena_pay_f.rsw#gld2_pay.rsw#

15. Copy the .bmp files for minimaps to same path with the extracted path. Or still in resnametable.txt file, add these lines

유저인터페이스\map\arena_gef_f.bmp#유저인터페이스\map\gld2_gef.bmp#
유저인터페이스\map\arena_ald_f.bmp#유저인터페이스\map\gld2_ald.bmp#
유저인터페이스\map\arena_pay_f.bmp#유저인터페이스\map\gld2_pay.bmp#

16. Your simple custom maps are ready to use
