## [Before you start]

What is it? This is PACK of everything what you need for running server at your local Windows PC.

This pack oriented mostly for people without knowledge and time for education how everything work,

but which wish to run Ragnarok Online server at their own PC, or which wish try and learn something
new,

but never tried before it, or confused with configuration part. Anyway, it can be used not only by such
people.

It will be very good boost for any newbie which stucked a lot with basic first step (server configuration)

I remember when i was a newbie, and something like that were saved for me a lot of time.

Because everything is here, and here is fully working example of everything what need to know,

and you can skip boring configuration part and do funny things, or education with emulator

which in final result will again -> save a lot of time for you.

## [About]
What usually need to do to make rAthena works?

----------------------------------------------

- you need compiler for compiling emulator from source code to ready application which you will run.

- you need mysql-server where will be stored database which will be used by rAthena emulator

- you need translated and up to date game client, which will support latest available features

- you need diffed .exe file to run game client which will load everything above.

What will you get from this pack?

---------------------------------

- pre-compiled .exe files for both verseion of RENEWAL and PRE-RENEWAL version of rAthena (you don't
need any compiler at all)

- pre-defined web-server stack (mysql-server + different important and useful tools for you), with
already imported rAthena database inside

- packed for you LATEST and clean translated files for your game client, with actual and correct english
translation (will work 2012+ game exe (but we using 2015-11-04))

- already diffed 2015-11-04aRagexe game client which will work with everything above.

# Main Pack Idea

===============

Just download it, extract, and run.

No actions required, no guides needed, everything will work out the box.

## [How to Use]

Before you start, please download latest CLEAN kRO (korean Ragnarok Online) game client.
Here just example link (updated by me and actual): https://mega.nz/#F!RplhTAKB!dzCgiK7555XVUGxH5-
sEzQ

0. Download it and install it somewhere, i suggest install it to C:\Games\ROCLIENT

1. Go to /01_emulator/ and extract rathena.zip

Don't forget to read readme.txt inside the folder.

This readme file explain everything what you need to know about rAthena.

As you understand, this is pre-compilled and configured Ragnaok Online Emulator

2. Go to /02_openserver/ and extract OpenServer.zip

This is pre-configured and cleaned web-server stack (mysql-server / etc)

which you should start everytime when you running the server (green flag)

Dont forget to read "readme.txt" inside that folder, it will explain everything for you.

3. Go to /03_client_side_files/ and copy all files inside to your clean kRO folder (step #0)

By default you copy files which packed for RENEWAL mechanic with renewal descriptions / etc.

If you wish, after copying files, you can overwrite different to RENEWAL translation from
PRERE_VERSION folder

Just open PRERE_VERSION foldre and copy-paste everything from this folder to your kRO client.

Dont forget to read "readme.txt" inside the folder, it will explain everything for you

4. 90% of work done, now need just understand main things: rAthena Emulator can't work without
database server.

So before running emulator, and then game client, you should run server, then emulator, and
only then client.

Your steps now (from server start to entering to the game):

-----------------------------------------------------------
 a) go to /02_openserver/OpenServer/ and run Open Server x64.exe (depends on your
Windows Version)

b) you will see "Red Flag" at your tray bar (near clocks), click on it, then select "Run
Server". (screen: https://i.imgur.com/Mgj50W5.png)

if your antivirus not crazy, or firewal is ok -> server will be runned normally and
you will see that Red Flag changed to Green Color.

if you experience any issues, go to official OpenServer website and ask

for help: https://ospanel.io/forum/

c) go to /01_emulator/rathena/ and depends on mechanic what you wish to have run:

- or runserver.bat = RENEWAL mechanic (default (since 2010 up to now))

- or runserver_PRERE.bat = PRE_RE (classic mechanic (up to 2010 year))

It will open 3 console windows, where you should not see any "Error" messages
if everything is ok.

Here is screen from normal working server, which you can use for check if
everything looks ok: https://i.imgur.com/YBS4rgk.png

d) now you can run game client and connect to running rAthena Ragnarok Online server.

Open C:\Games\ROCLIENT and find 2015-11-04aRagexe.exe and run it.

By default i made 3 accounts for you with _M _F (see readme.txt in emulator

folder)

* login: admin, admin2, user

* pass for all above: 123456

e) Easy, is not it? Have fun ^_~

===========================================================================
## [Whats next?]

By default you will run 1x rate server without any features, so you will wish to customize it a little bit.

Here is your next steps (you need read a lot of info and check a lot of settings / files)

Start from this place in next order:

* /doc/atcommand.txt - read first, it will help you with basic stuff at your GM account.

* /conf/battle/ - here is many configurable options for different mechanic settings. Use
@reloadbattleconf in game to reload on live server without restart the settings from this folder.

* /db/ - item_db.txt and mob_db.txt - will be useful for you too

* /npc/[pre-re or re]/scripts_main.conf, then scripts_athena.conf

* then do not forget to read files in /doc/ folder

* and ofcourse join to http://rathena.org and google answers for your questions at board.
