wow

such script

so backup!

Today I have some more goodies for mappers / modellers

Speedtree is the software used by Metin2 to render trees and other kinds of vegetation. Many games such as Oblivion, Ragnarok 2, Gran Theft Auto IV... use Speedtree 4, while Metin2 uses the older Speedtree 3.

It's possible to import Speedtree 4 models for Metin2 by loading and saving them with SpeedtreeCAD 3. A pic of the tool:

In this pack you can find Speedtree CAD Lite 3 and Speedtree CAD 4 and their respective plugins for 3DSMAX.

To get the ball rolling on this forum, here is a real oldschool release, the original Metin2 client for the chinese Beta in 2004.

Just sexy.

Added the missing dll to the archive.

Nice tool indeed. I like BlackYuko tools in that they look professional and work stable.

A pack containing dozens of riginal YMIR Concept Art for Metin2 created in 2003.

Enjoy.

I am proud to release exclusively for metin2dev -with the blessing from its author Tim Niederhausen- the latest version of the original FileArchiver command line tool, which is now divided into two Windows executables:

FileArchiver_Eterpack (r3869)
This command line tool can pack and unpack EterPack (epk) files. Types 0, 1, 2 and 3 are supported for the packing function. Parameters are configured through xml files:

FileArchiver_Eterpack.exe rootpack.xml

Optionally you can drag and drop the xml file over FileArchiver_Eterpack.exe in Windows Vista and higher.
Unpacking
Example XML: unpack root.epk to the folder root_unpacked. ArchivePath is the path to the packed file (without extension) and OutputPath is the folder where files should be written.

<ScriptFile>
<ExtractEterPack ArchivePath="root" OutputPath="root_unpacked/" CreateXml="No" />
</ScriptFile>

Example XML: unpack a series of epk files, creating a xml file that we can use to pack them back later with FA. CreateXml and XmlPath elements are self explanatory here.

<ScriptFile>
<ExtractEterPack ArchivePath="yt2/pack/uiloading" OutputPath="yt2_unpacked/" CreateXml="Yes" XmlPath="uiloading_pack.xml" />
<ExtractEterPack ArchivePath="yt2/pack/etc" OutputPath="yt2_unpacked/" CreateXml="Yes" XmlPath="etc_pack.xml" />
<ExtractEterPack ArchivePath="yt2/pack/uiscript" OutputPath="yt2_unpacked/" CreateXml="Yes" XmlPath="uiscript_pack.xml" />
</ScriptFile>

Packing

Example XML: Create uiloading.epk with Type 2 (LZO packed and XTEA key); note how ArchivePath is the path to write the packed file, ArchivedPath is the absolute path of each file in the Metin2 virtual filesystem, while CDATA is the actual location of the file in our PC (relative or absolute)

<ScriptFile>
<CreateEterPack ArchivePath="../bin/pack/uiloading">
<File ArchivedPath="d:/ymir work/uiloading/loading0.jpg" Type="2"><![CDATA[uiloading/loading0.jpg]]></File>
<File ArchivedPath="d:/ymir work/uiloading/loading1.jpg" Type="2"><![CDATA[uiloading/loading1.jpg]]></File>
<File ArchivedPath="d:/ymir work/uiloading/loading2.jpg" Type="2"><![CDATA[uiloading/loading2.jpg]]></File>
<File ArchivedPath="d:/ymir work/uiloading/loading3.jpg" Type="2"><![CDATA[uiloading/loading3.jpg]]></File>
<File ArchivedPath="d:/ymir work/uiloading/loading4.jpg" Type="2"><![CDATA[uiloading/loading4.jpg]]></File>
<File ArchivedPath="d:/ymir work/uiloading/loading5.jpg" Type="2"><![CDATA[uiloading/loading5.jpg]]></File>
<File ArchivedPath="d:/ymir work/uiloading/loading6.jpg" Type="2"><![CDATA[uiloading/loading6.jpg]]></File>
<File ArchivedPath="d:/ymir work/uiloading/loading7.jpg" Type="2"><![CDATA[uiloading/loading7.jpg]]></File>
</CreateEterPack>
</ScriptFile>

Example XML: Create a Type 3 (Panama) file. IvPath contains the path to a 32 byte file that will be used as key. Obviously, you should not share this file. This encryption requires a server part which is explained below.

<ScriptFile>
<CreateEterPack ArchivePath="../bin/pack/metin2_mypatch" IvPath="iv/mypatch.iv">
<File ArchivedPath="d:/ymir work/pc/assassin/assassin_5_1.gr2" Type="3"><![CDATA[pc/assassin/assassin_5_1.gr2]]></File>
<File ArchivedPath="d:/ymir work/pc/assassin/assassin_5_1.dds" Type="3"><![CDATA[pc/assassin/assassin_5_1.dds]]></File>
<File ArchivedPath="d:/ymir work/pc/assassin/assassin_5_1_lod_01.gr2" Type="3"><![CDATA[pc/assassin/assassin_5_1_lod_01.gr2]]></File>
<File ArchivedPath="d:/ymir work/pc/assassin/assassin_5_1_lod_02.gr2" Type="3"><![CDATA[pc/assassin/assassin_5_1_lod_02.gr2]]></File>
<File ArchivedPath="d:/ymir work/pc/assassin/assassin_5_1_lod_03.gr2" Type="3"><![CDATA[pc/assassin/assassin_5_1_lod_03.gr2]]></File>
</CreateEterPack>
</ScriptFile>

Panama encryption: serverside setup

Once you have your Panama encrypted packs, you need to upload the keys to auth/panama along with a text file called panama.lst containing a list of files to be decrypted with their respective key file, separated by tabs.

Example panama.lst file:

pack/mypatch     mypatch.iv
pack/terrainmaps terrainmaps.iv
pack/tree        tree.iv

Caveats: you can not encrypt the root with panama. Also, if a pack encrypted with panama contains armors or hairstyles, these may not appear in the character selection screen.

FileArchiver_Proto (r2806)
This tool also takes an xml file as parameter and is intended to read and write clientside item_proto and mob_proto files.
Example XML: Read a clientside, packed item_proto and write it to to a xml file

<ScriptFile>
<ReadItemProto ItemProtoPath="item_proto" OutputPath="item_proto.xml" />
</ScriptFile>

Example XML: Write back, once edited, our XML file as a packed item_proto file.

<ScriptFile>
<WriteItemProto ItemProtoPath="item_proto" InputPath="item_proto.xml" />
</ScriptFile>

Now for the mob_proto (Only use the Proto archiver for this one!!!):
To extract it from the client use this XML

<ScriptFile>
	<mob_proto_extract path="mob_proto" output="mob_proto.xml" />
</ScriptFile>

To pack it back use this one:

<ScriptFile>
        <mob_proto_create path="mob_proto.xml" output="mob_proto_edited" />
</ScriptFile>

In the name of the forum administration team, I would like to give you a warm welcome to metin2dev.

You may ask, what makes this forum different from others?

Many communities have been built around the subject of modifications for Ymir's Metin2. However, truly original and groundbreaking releases are often found mixed with others that are ripped, or of little value. A famous german forum even managed to gather a small non-german community around it, yet no real attempt was yet made to put germans, spanish, polish, turkish, romanians..., all the Metin2 lovers around the world, in contact with each other.

Therefore, the goal of metin2dev is to gather that part of the global Metin2 scene that is primarily interested in game design or development -leaving subjects such as cheats or hacking out of the scope of this community- and to give its deserved value, once again, to the efforts of the artists and programmers that really make a difference showing us skills that, sometimes, outshine that of reputed game publishers. Metin2dev is, to sum it up, a forum made by creators for creators.

We welcome you, once again, to showcase your work, offer your services or provide help to others in this new community, or even become part of our moderator team if you are a forum junkie. Please note we are still setting up everything and some things may not work as intended. In such case, please drop InyaProductions, Martin or Chuck a PM.

Kind regards,

The metin2dev administration team

Hi everyone,
Here's a rework of the Ymir Guildzone maps. It was done without World Editor.
 

Technical details:

- All textures are 1024x1024 and made by me (except a few of the original YMIR textures that I kept) using Paint.NET
- Shrubs are imported from TES:Oblivion and resized/recolored to match the Metin2 size and palette.
- A skybox is included, this requires a recent client to work. It was also converted by me from free sources.
- Heightmap is unchanged as this is no easy task to do currently with an already existing heightmap.
