Hello, everyone, i'm trying to craft a single player experience since webzen never did.
I got this files to run over the weekend just to get some understanding of what i'm getting into.
https://forum.ragezone.com/f197/release-files-zxgames-v6-0-a-1201909/
i assume full premium is as good as it gets for this, but to this day i don't remember how seasons differed from each other, or if optimizations were made over time, so i don't know if this server files are the "best" for what i'd like to do, events, exp, drop rates, spawns, and such i'm sure are changeable on every server, but what about stuff like adding custom items?

Since i won't be shopping i'll need a way to make items full option, or even excellent ingame, does that require scripting or is it just making a .bmd file? i found no scripts anywhere other than this files but i haven't found much info on them, i tried opening a bunch on pentium tools, but the ones in the items folder, for example i don't know how to open.

3D models are another thing, are these .smd files similar to the source engine ones? or do i need a specific exporter for this?
which leads me to my next doubt, engine limitations. I figure since there won't be other players maybe more complex meshes can be used? can i use 256x256 textures? Now, the files im using have 6 full characters on noria's south bridge, which causes my frames to drop to 14 with all effects on, so maybe not.
i'm sure this questions were asked before, but im not even sure how to condense these questions enough for a google search, as i'm still not quite sure what i'm doing.

models and objects in .bmd = .smd with textures in .ozj/ozt/ etc (converted back = jpg/.tga for example texures. means with milkshape 3d u can make a model and export in .smd with the sequence/animations (unless no animations) and reconvert it to .bmd with pentium tools so u can use it in game, u can try 256x256 but the lower the better like 128x128 etc, just open existing .smd / .bmd and see how they are and do the same.

some links to explain u more about bmd and smd and 3d stuff:
