You can extract the scholar sprite from the grf. You can find it in: /data/sprite/Àΰ£Á·/¸öÅë/³² for male and /data/sprite/Àΰ£Á·/¸öÅë/¿© for female. The prof sprite is called ÇÁ·ÎÆä¼­_¿©.spr and the act file has the same name just with .act ;3

thats nice, i play on valkyrie server (official) will i find that directory??? or its just for private servers?

Yes, you will. Download a GRF extractor from here:
http://ratemyserver.net/index.php?page=download_tool

I use GTF Tool.
Open data.grf with the extractor you downloaded, search for the scholar's sprite (xyuki posted it, though I'd still suggest reading our Sprite Bible for further reference), extract it in the same folder where your RO is installed; remember to extract both, the .act and the .spr files. A new folder will be automatically created, called "data". Inside of this folder, you'll find the sprite of the scholar. Now, look at the sprite bible, look for the magician's sprite name, and replace the name of both, the .spr and .act files of scholar for the name of the magician's sprite.

tom:

heres what i did:
i downloaded a grf to add 3rd classes to a private server, the name was trans to 3rd class

extracted all that was inside that grf and used sprite conview to chec wich one was the sorcerer's sprite
then tested the sprite and act files with actor.
used an unicode program i found to convert all that to korean prior to replacing both, the spr and act file with magician's name taken from the sprite list
then using the grf tool program i setted data folder as directory and repacked ONLY the 2 files i modifyed.

now i suppose i only need to add my grf to my ro folder and change the client's list of data files???

[Tom~]

It is not necessary to convert it to korean. And it's much easier if you just: take the sprite you want, rename it with the name of the sprite you want to replace, and put it in /data/sprite/Àΰ£Á·/¸öÅë/³² <--- assuming that you're playing a male mage, and you want to replace it for a male scholar/sorcerer lol.

You can just keep the data folder, it is not necessary to repack in official servers as far as I know. The client reads the data folder before any GRFs.

lol yeah sounds logic.

anyway ill have to wait some hours to test it at home and ill let u know how it went.

thanks for all the help u are giving me
Posted on: Dec 21, 2010, 04:43 amOk guys i tryed it yesterday and it worked just fine.

1st time: unpacked ro data.grf then looked up for the sprites i wanted to swap and renamed them. after that i directly turned on the game and it wasnt working so the next logic step was to repack the data folder. After that it was working (WIN!!!).

Went all the way back to leave the game as it is to make another try.

2nd time: i used the grf file i created changing the client info to read my grf b4 the data.grf and once i tryed the gam it worked fine(WINx2!!!!).

Again thanks to all the people that made this posible (Tom  Fyrus xyuki).
