Let's say you have a data folder which you want to transform into a grf file. You would place Script File Maker.exe and Create.exe in any folder except the data folder which you want to convert and run Script File Maker.exe. Once you open it, you will see one blank text field, input the directory of your data folder there such as...
Code:
C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO\data
...or you can use the browse button and select the data directory. Once you have done that, you click create script file and wait till the little status bar at the bottom in Script File Maker.exe says...
It should have automatically created a file named "data.grf.txt". Now all you have to do is run Create.exe in the same directory as data.grf.txt and it will create a new data.grf. Remember not to run create.exe in the same directory as your RO folder or it will automatically overwrite your current data.grf.
gf.exe is pretty self explanitory, you can use it as a bmp/tga/spr/jpg viewer and also a repacker for your manually downloaded patches.

You would probably prefer to put all your patches into 1 folder. Let's say your downloaded the patches for kRO client (not Sakray), you would simply use gf.exe and open up data.grf in your kRO folder. Click add grf and select the grfs that you downloaded, keep adding until you added all of them. Once you're done, click the repack button and save it in another location other than your kRO folder as data.grf. Now all you have to do is replace your newly compiled data.grf onto your old one in your kRO folder. I strongly recommend you backup your old copy of data.grf just in case the new one doesn't work. If you get an error while trying to open data.grf or repack it, then you will need to do the following procedure below.
Create a shortcut from your Ragnarok.exe(Right Click>Create Shortcut). Right click on your newly created shortcut and click on properties. Click on the Shortcut tab and your should see a text field with the word "Target" beside it. Inside the text field, it should have Ragnarok.exe along with it's full directory such as...
Code:
"C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO\Ragnarok.exe"
...or...
Code:
C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO\Ragnarok.exe
...in any case, you will need to add...
...after that. So you would end up with...
Code:
"C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO\Ragnarok.exe" /repak
...or...
Code:
C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO\Ragnarok.exe /repak
...in the target text field. Click the OK button and run that shortcut, you should automatically see the original kRO patcher with the repacking status. This just repacks it using the old method in which gf.exe can read. You can use this procedure for kRO Sakray as well, all you have to do is replace Ragnarok.exe with Sakray.exe and data.grf with sdata.grf.
