RAN FILE EDITOR

1.1 default.charclass

This contains the main rules of the game, open your ran file editor and load the file default.charclass

here the terms and their meaning :

wSCHOOLNUM : number of schools at char creation, better don't higher it, but you can make it 1 or 2 if there are not enough players to fill the schools in your server

strSCHOOLNAME00 : the name of school number 00 (default : Sacred Gate)

nidSTARTMAP00 : no its not like most ppl think the map you start if you play SG its the map you go to when you use campus card when being school00

bPARTY_2OTHERSCHOOL : ability to party other schools : 0 = can't pt 1 = can party

bCLUB_2OTHERSCHOOL : ability to guild other schools

fDISPRICE : the % of value you get back from an item when selling to NPC (tax rate doesn't get affected by this value)

fCHAR_HEIGHT : The "height" of your char, basically only affects the height of your name and guild box

wMAX_LEVEL : max lv of the game, when you reach it even if you have 100% exp you will not lv up

wLVL_STATS_P : Stat points per lv up

wLVL_SKILL_P : Skillpoints per lv up

fDIE_DECEXP : exp penalty (in %) when you die

wDAMAGE_GRADE : how much atk each refining grade of a weapon adds (3 is default)

wDEFENSE_GRADE : how much def each refining grade of an armor adds (2 is default)

fDAMAGE_GRADE : how much atk (in %) each refining grade of a weapon adds

fDEFENSE_GRADE : how much def (in %) each refining grade of an armor adds

How does the game choose which value to use (% or fixed number) :

Simple :

+1 ~ +4 is ALWAYS the fixed value so +8 def and not +40% def
+5 ~ +9 is the highest value that is taken if +18 def at +9 is more than the +90% then it takes +18 def, if +90% is higher than +18 def then it takes the +90% def

wRESIST_FIRE_GRADE : how much fire def each grade of refining adds

wRESIST_ICE_GRADE : how much ice def each grade of refining adds

wRESIST_ELEC_GRADE : how much elec def each grade of refining adds

wRESIST_POISON_GRADE : how much poison def each grade of refining adds

wRESIST_SPIRIT_GRADE : how much fire air each grade of refining adds

Note : the game will not take any decimal numbers for the values of refining


wBODYRADIUS : affects area damage (its the body radius of your char more body radius = more chance to get hit by area damage) will not change the chars size


fHP_INC : base Hp recover of a char
fMP_INC : base Mp recover of a char
fSP_INC : base Sp recover of a char

fLOWSP_DAMAGE : damage you do (in %) when you got too low sp
fLOWSP_HIT_DROP : hit rate you have (in %) when you got too low sp
fLOWSP_AVOID_DROP : Avoid you have (in %) when you got too low sp
dwACCEPT_LOWERSTATS : how many stats less you can have to wear a weapon (standart 10 pow/dex/int less still can wear, change this value to change it)

fDAMAGE_DEC_RATE : how much damage is reduced by 1 def (at PK) default is 75000 better don't lower it, just make it higher if its possible to reach 600+ def in your server, because this causes an immortality bug when your def is high, to avoid that bug, higher the value to 100000 or higher

fCONFRONT_TIME : Duel max duration time
fCONFRONT_ELAP : time to wait till can reduel
dwCONFRONT_MAX : max duel numbers
fCONFRONT_RESET : time till can duel again after reaching max duel amount
fCONFRONT_ONE_DIST : size of arena in duel if its 1 vs 1

nCONFRONT_CLB_WIN_LP : life point award if win club duel
nCONFRONT_CLB_WIN_LP : life point "award" (?) if lose club duel (put in a negative number to make it a penalty)

Note : the 2 lines got the same txt but its not the same thing! the first line is when you win the 2nd when you lose

fEXP_RATE_TABLE : how much exp you get (in % of the max mobs exp) by killing mobs depending on your lv (- lv = you're too high lv + lv = your too low lv)

fPARTYEXPRANGE : how far you can be from the mobs that got killed and still earn exp in a party

aPARTYEXP_ONE : how much exp you gain from mobs in a party (it gets divided by the number of pt members)

aPARTYKILLEXP_ONE : how much exp each party member gets (1 = 100% 0.5 = 50%)
PLEASE NEVER CHANGE THIS it would make it unfair if number 8 gets less exp than number 2 in party

dwCLUB_DISSOLUTION_DAY : how many days you got to wait to dismiss guild
dwCLUB_JOINBLOCK_DAY : How many days you got to wait till you can join new guild after leaving one

/////////////////////A///B/////C///////D
GLCLUBRANK_E { 30, 0, 1000000, 15 }
GLCLUBRANK_D { 45, 0, 2000000, 20 }
GLCLUBRANK_C { 60, 0, 3500000, 30 }
GLCLUBRANK_B { 80, 0, 5000000, 40 }
GLCLUBRANK_A { 100, 0, 7000000, 50 }

A = level of leader
B = sorry I don't know about this one, maybe number of alliances (alliance system wasn't implented in ran yet)
C = gold to pay for makeing guild / upgrading
D = max member number


fEXP_SCALE : exp rate

NOTE : no mob can give more than 65535 exp, if your exp rate is 500x and the mob drop 132 exp it gets 66000 - 65535 = 465 exp
so some mobs give 50% while others that are higher lv give 0.10%
thats what I call crappy, if you want more exp LOWER THE EXP NEEDED FOR LV UP instead of maxing an exp rate its USELESS

This might help you :[Tool]Exp_Table_V1.1

divide the number of exp needed per lv up by the number of your exp rate of the server, then it will be TRUE 500x exp and thats really fast



fITEM_DROP_SCALE : the chance that a mob drops any item at all
fITEM_DROP_LOWER_SCALE : the chance that a mob drops a rare item

Note : if the chance of droping rare items is too high then mobs will stop droping items like pots or not that rare items like rings

nPK_KILL_BRIGHT_POINT : attr penalty for killing somebody with a hostile action
nPK_TRY_LIVING_POINT : life pt penalty for starting a hostile action
nPK_KILL_LIVING_POINT : life pt penalty for killing somebody with a hostile action

fNONPK_ITEM_DROP : chance to drop an item (as player) when killed by mobs
fPK_ITEM_DROP : chance to drop an item (as player) when killed due to FPK

fPK_JUSTNESS_TIME : time to wait till hostile action ends (need stop hitting)

fPK_POINT_DEC_PHY : % of damage that you hit at pk (dex and pow only) (100% = same damage than at mobs)
fPK_POINT_DEC_DAMAGE : % of damage that you hit at pk (int only) (100% = same damage than at mobs

fMAX_COMMISSION : Max tax rate

Thats all for the default.charclass if I forgot any important (mind the word important) option tell me, cos even I don't know EVERY single aspect of this file



1.2 class.classconst

Welcome to my guide how to edit the base values of the classes please be careful when editing these to avoid a disturbance of the balancing (in other words don't make any class superior)

well get your ran file editor and open one of these :

class0.classconst (fighter values)
class1.classconst (swordman values)
class2.classconst (archer values)
class3.classconst (qigong values)

here is the explained list of the terms in there :

fWALKVELO : walk speed
fRUNVELO : run speed

fHP_STR : How much HP per Vit point you get
fMP_SPI : How much MP per Int you get
fSP_STA : How much SP per stm you get

fHIT_DEX : hit rate per dex
fAVOID_DEX : avoid per dex
fDEFENSE_DEX : def per dex

fPA_POW : melee (close fighting value [affects your ATK]) points per Pow
fPA_DEX : melee points per dex

fSA_POW : missle (range fighting value [affects your ATK]) points per pow
fSA_DEX : missle points per dex

fMA_DEX : energy points per dex
fMA_SPI : energy points per int
fMA_INT : energy points per "int" (its a stat point that you can't add, it was left out when they made the game)

fCONV_AP : sorry don't know what this is
fCONV_DP : sorry don't know what this is
fCONV_PA : atk per melee point
fCONV_SA : atk per missile point


wBEGIN_AP : AP you have when you make char (don't know what is AP)

fLVLUP_SA : missile gained per lv up

sBEGIN_STATS : stats when make char
[5 34] [18 12] [0 7]
1)Pow 2)Vit 3)Int 4)Dex 5) left out from the game 6) Stm

sLVLUP_STATS : stats gained by lv up


thats all for this part


1.3 crowsale

In this guide I will teach you how to edit the items that are sold in an NPC shop

so here we go

take a crowsale file from your Glogic example : Inven_Helper_3.crowsale
that is the file from merchandise (the npc at school entrance and market)


szSaleType : tab name (name of the little label that says what kind of items are sold)
many files don't have a tab but when you open them you NEED (!) to make a tab name otherwise you get an error msg when trying to put the edited file in your game

there are 2 types of shop files, one like this is simple where the items are in the shop in the row where you put them (first in the list is first in the shop window) the other type asks you to put each items slot

lets start with the simple (like in Iven_Helper_3.crowsale)
cInventory [5, 0] [0] [0,0] [0,0,0,0,0]
5,0 is the ITEM ID that you can find in your itemstrtable or by opening the item editor

the [0] defines if you can buy per pieces or type in a number :
[0] : type a number
[1] (or higher) : buy 1 get 1

New

Now I know what those extra boxes mean :
cInventory [5, 0] [0] [0,0] [0,0,0,0,0]

the last 2 boxes [0,0] are for the refining state, [7,0] = +7 weapon [0,7] = +7 armor

and the [0,0,0,0,0] is for the resistances
fire ele ice poi air

hope this helps if you wanted to sell +7 +9 or even +20 at a shop ^^

now lets move to the other version of crowsale files :

inven1_0_3.crowsale (welfare merchant)

cInventory [1,3][84,12] [0] [0,0] [0,0,0,0,0]

[1,3] is the place where the item is in the sale window 0,0 is the left top corner
1,0 is one more to the right
0,1 is one more to the bottom
the 2nd box [84,12] is the item ID just like before
[0] is again like before, to buy per pieces or type a number


Never forget to put a tab name after editing

Note : To delete an item from the NPC selling just delete the line that makes the NPC sell it

Note : if you put more items than a sale window can take, the items that are too much will not appear

Note : The price of the items is set at the item editor, so if you want change it, get your item editor and look under "Price"

thats all for crowsale enjoy ^^




1.4 gen item


This guide will teach you how to change the items that are dropped by mobs

first of all you got to know that there are 2 kinds of genitems

lv xx.genitem
and
q_lv xx.genitem

lv xx.genitem is basicly the items

q_lv xx.genitem is the fate boxes droped by mobs

lets start with the fate boxes (its shorter)

go data/GlogicServer and extract from your GlogicServer the genitem files

in the q_lv xx.genitem you find lines like this :

QTITEM 9,1 0.8

the first number is the item ID (find it at itemstrtable or inside your item editor)
the other number is the chance of dropping these (in %)

note : this value is not affected by your servers drop rate

thats already all I have to say about q_lv xx.genitem

now the real thing : the normal genitems :

there are 3 kinds of lines :

GENRATE : chance of dropping ANY item at all (affected by your servers drop rate)

GENNUM 1 98

how many items will the mob drop? the first number is how many they are and the 2nd is how much % chance you got that it happens

example :

GENNUM 4 50
GENNUM 6 30
GENNUM 8 20

when the mob is supposed to drop an item it got 50% chance that he drops 4
30% to drop 6 and 20% to drop 8

Note : this value isn't affected by your servers drop rate

ITEMSPEC 190 45

1st value : the gen num of your item(s) (you can change the gen num of items with your item editor)

2nd value : the chance of droping THAT item (its affected by your games lower drop rate)

Note : each genitem file can only make a mob drop up to 9 different gennums, means only 9 groups of item per genitem file otherwise it makes a server error and the mobs with that genitem file will drop NOTHING at all

some basic gen nums :

191 : Refines
196 : Resistance refines
95 : EP3 weapons Element +
94 : EP3 weapons Element
45 : EP3 weapons non element
184 : books lv 147
183 : books lv 127
466 : lv 193 set (+) or chg
465 : lv 190 set (+) or chg
464 : lv 185 set (+) or chg

Note : items with gen num 0 will not be droped by any mob

don't forget putting the genitems back into the Glogicserver to get them into the game

thats all for genitem



1.5 a_sample.bin / w_sample.bin (RV limits)

this is the interesting part of the guide that many ppl don't even know!!

I'm sure you noticed that some items got more max RV than others

lv 45 armor can only reach +10.00% RV

while lv 165 armor can get +20.00%

here is how you can change these values and even add own new values ^^ :


in your GlogicServer are a1_sample.bin a2_sample.bin a3_sample.bin a4_sample.bin and w1 2 3 4_sample.bin too
let me tell you :

a1_sample : RV for armor lv 44 - 120 (CHG)
a2_sample : RV for armor lv 44 - 120 (+)
a3_sample : RV for armor lv 165 - 195 (CHG)
a4_sample : RV for armor lv 165 - 195 (+)

w1_sample : RV for low lv weapons or non element weapons
w2_sample : RV for middle lv weapons
w3_sample : Rv for high lv weapons
w4_sample : Rv for top weapons

open these files with your ran file editor and you get some strange window that gives you no idea how to use

here is how it works :

1st of all

all that is with // can be ignored, it doesn't affect the file

so you are left alone with only max 4 lines

OPTION_1 100.0f, 2, 15, -10
OPTION_2
OPTION_3
OPTION_4

1st value (100.0f) : chance of having this RV
2nd value (2), kind of RV
3rd value (15), max value of that RV
4rd value (-10), min value of that RV

so in this case 100% chance of having an ATK RV of max +15% and min -10%

list of kinds of RV :

1) Def RV
2) Atk RV
3) Hit rate
4) Avoid Rate (energy rate)
5) HP (only for A lv armor and few weapons that add HP)
6) MP (only for A lv armor)
7) SP (only for A lv armor)
HP recovery speed (careful don't make this too high, 1 = 1% of your max hp recoverd each second!)
9) MP recovery speed
10) Sp recovery speed
11) hp mp sp recovery speed
12) Atk practrice : refining grade of a weapon when pick up
13) Def practrice : refining grade of an armor when pick up
14) Range
15) Sp consumation
16) Reistances (some armor got 11 resistance instead of 10, this is the reason)

Note : max is option 4 is you make a 5th it will NOT work

to change the bin file that a weapon or armor use you need the item editor!!


if there are questions left, ask me, thats all I got to say about RV limits

2. ETC

2.1 period.set (Weather regulation)


at GlogicServer is a file thats named period.set

open it with a normal txt editor (yea not with the ran file editor)

there you will find this

// 00,01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10,11,12
m_dwRAINRATE 00,05,10,15,17,17,17,17,17,15,15,10,05
m_dwSNOWRATE 00,25,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,25
m_dwSPORERATE 00,00,05,15,35,15,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
m_dwLEAVESRATE 00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,15,30,20,00

the numbers of the first line (00 - 12)
is the number of the months

m_dwRAINRATE : chance of having rain
m_dwSNOWRATE : chance of snowing
m_dwSPORERATE : chance of having spores flying in the air
m_dwLEAVESRATE : chance of having falling leaves

at month 00 (does not exist) it doesn't affect if you put any value

Note : the weather DOES affect the game,
Rain makes ele weapon stronger and fire weaker
Snow makes ice stronger ele weaker
falling leaves make ice weaker

there might be more affects but I didn't notice them

thats all for the weather
comments, critics, and suggestions for new guides are welcome

3.1 How to use the item editor





A) Getting started :

To get the item editor to work you need first
- comment.txt
- item.isf

here the comment.txt
comment.txt


but for the item.isf if you take the one from smarkies at the stickies, that one is crypted and cannot be edited

Anyway.... put the item editor inside your server folder and put the item.isf and comment.txt inside your Glogic folder

then double click your item editor to start

B) Editing item values :

if all went right you should see the list of all your items

lets go to 000/01 : the novice wood sword

rightclick it and go "item edit"

then you see a window with almost all system aspects of the item. lets explain each first ^^

ID : the number to identificate the item, don't worry you don't need to change it

Value Grade : I don't know why this is so important but rare items got valuable, and mvp items got solely, but it doesn't make the item look different o.o

Trade :
Sale : sellable at NPC?
Drop : dropable? If its not dropable its at same time not possible to put it at locker
Store : can sell at induvidual store?

The Purchase Price : thats the price of that item at NPC and also you get 30% of the price back if you sell it (see 1.1 default.charclass to see how to change the 30%)

Limitary : this triggers if the item should have a limitation date or not

Costume : this triggers if you can fuse the item with an armor piece (like a costume)

Event(item) : this is supposed to prevent you from having that item twice, if you try to have 2x the same event item it says you can only have 1 item of that kind

Gen type ID : the gen num (see 1.4 to know how to use this)

Base time / limit num : I think this got no effect in the game but I'm not sure...

Iventory size XY : this is supposed to tell the game how many slots an item takes in the iventory but I don't think ran supports this feature

Iventory icon : this is the icon used for the item combined with "shape of iventory"
0,0 = top left icon
1,0 = one more to the right
0,1 = one more to the bottom

Shape of field : how the item looks like when you drop it (example : a bag or a box)

Request lv : lv needed to use or wear the item
Pow : pow needed to use or wear the item
SPR : int needed to use or wear the item
STR : vit needed to use or wear the item
Dex : dex needed to use or wear the item
Int : Int is not the int you might think its a value that got left beside of the game do not use it

STA : stm needed to use or wear the item
Fight val : Melee value needed to use or wear the item
Shoot val : Missile needed to use or wear the item

A term of validity : how long does the item last (if you put a limit don't forget to activate limitary)

skin effect : effect on the weapon or item when wear (like ele effect of ele weapons)

Target effect : effect when use the item (only for fire works)
Partner effect : 2nd effect when use item (only for fireworks)
Random Opt : which RV file should the item use (see 1.5 to learn more about RV)

random box : what can you get by opening it (will get only 1 )


soooo... thats all^^

I'm tired of typing already

you can edit any aspect of the item like this


3.2 Related info

this is a list of things you should know about items/itemeditor :

- the itemeditor is not able to make a 2x exp rosary
- the max gen item value is 600 (if i'm not mistaken o.o)
- don't overdo the edits : your max pow dex int vit hp is 65535 never go above that value or it starts back at 0
- the item editor is unable to set if an item can be refined or not : default not refinable
- if you want to make an item that can be refined, copy a weapon or armor
- yea even rings can be refined if you copy an armor and change it into a ring
- mind that Hp recover : 1 means 100% per second 0.01 = 1%
- if you don't want an item to drop make the gen num 0
- any item added with the gm char editor will be undropable

4.Skill Editor

Since people wanted to know how to use the skill editor, here is the explanation :

like for the item editor you need the comment.txt and the skill.SSF to run it

after you started it, you can make a new skill by clicking the right mouse button and click Add

so lets get to the important part : explain each of the skills aspects :

ID : the ID number of the skill (don't change it)
Grade : the Rank of it (affects the place of the skill on the skill list when you press K in game)
Master lv : lv at which the skill is masterd (don't make higher than 9 otherwise you can't master the skill and I think it makes an error)

type : passive or active
- apply :
Melee : close fighting
missile : distance atk
magic : magical atk (using energy)

Target :
self : affects yourself
target : affects the target
from self till target : self explanatory
Specified location : click the ground (like for a buff) to activate
area (for area damage) : target self (the area damage is arround the target)
target area : the area damage is arround the area you clicked
continuous area target : don't know about this one
cone target : the skill hits all the mobs in a cone (or a circle) depending on how high the angle of the skill is

Part : (which people should it hit?)
Towards my side : hit whole party (like buffs)
Towards enemy : enemy only
towards everyone : everyone can be hit by it (like mp boost or BA)


Damage hold over time : how long do you want to wait after hit till it makes damage

Vital energy : def/air def to reduce damage
fire : fire res to reduce damage
ice : ice res to reduce damage
electrical : elec res to reduce damage
Poison : poi res to reduce damage

Possible distance of target : how far can the target be and still can start the skill

State trouble :
what effect does the skill cause (elemental effect) like stone ele or poi

Side effect : a list of effects
Hit percentage transformation : Hit rate change
Avoid change rate : avoid
atk change rate : atk
defend change rate : def
Hp change percentage : + hp recv (in %)
Mp change percentage : + mp recv (in %)
SP change percentage : + sp recv (in %)
HP MP SP change percentage : + HP MP SP recv (in %)
atk change percentage : + atk (in %)
def change percentage : + def (in %)
close atk rage : + melee
shooting rate : + missile
energy : + energy
hp increasing rate : + max hp (in%)
mp increasing rate : + max mp (in %)
sp increasing rate : + max sp (in %)

Special effect : a list that contains some other effects

Pull/Push (cancel)
Reflex damage : I don't know if ran supports this I don't know what it does
Revive : only for resu skill
Capture HP SP MP : like vampiric atk or vampiric arrow (drain targets hp)
Share HP MP SP : never tryed don't know what it does
Prevent abnormal condition : make you immune to certain elemental effects
Avoid abnormal condition : maybe the same as prevent I don't know why this is good
Penetration : breaks through defence
Shooting range : adds range
Moving speed : + move speed
Dash : I don't know
Transparent : I don't know
Check transparent : I don't know
Attack speed : + atk speed
Skill delay : + skill delay (of course also can - skill delay)


Left handed tool : leave EMPTY otherwise can never use the skill
Right handed tool : what kind of weapon needed to use the skill

then there is another list of effects a skill can have :

HP SP MP transformation : + HP MP or SP (like healing skill)
HP SP MP transformation frequence : + hp mp or sp recv rate (in%)
defence transformation rate : + def (in %)
detoxify : heal elemental effects (like ele fire etc)
magic power rate : + energy

the rest I already explained on "side effects"

Now how to generate the skill effect

Note (important) : Skills lv 7 - 147 are PROTECTED and even if you try to change their effect it will not do anything, the skill will have no effect at all if you change or it will not change the effect

so : if you want make a skill with a new effect => press "add" at the list, and start from 0 don't copy skills otherwise it will not work

Character sub ani : the animation the char does when it uses the skill (look up at other skills to see what animation to use)

Target P. : Target party (the effect that comes to each target mob)
Self P. : own person (the effect that comes at you when use)
To target : effect that flies till the mob(s) you hit (only for projectiles effects like arrows)

Self Body : these are different kind of effects that change your "skin" (like make it get like stone, or electrified, or blur like in BA)

Target body : same thing only for the mobs not for you

now how to regulate when the effects shall come :

Mobilizing : effect comes directly when the skill starts
Hitting : effect comes each time you hit
at the effects ending : effect comes after the projectile reached its target (only use if you used a projectile in your skill otherwise it will not work)
Goal's instalation : only for buffs, its the effect that is there till buff is over
NULL : effect will never appear


the 2nd page of the skill editor should be self explanatory
you just put in the values of delay (cool down time) range num (keep it 1) value (damage value note : need to be a NEGATIVE number to do damage) duration time (for buffs or elemental effects only) angle penetration degree (how deep it breaks through the def) and the target number

for each grade

then underneath you see a list of what the skill consumes arrow talisman hp sp mp or even EXP (it does work but its not good)

better don't make skills that eat exp for this reason : if you got max lv, you keep 0 exp, then you can't use that skill anymore!!

Party consumation condition : eats hp sp mp from the WHOLE party
