## [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.
