  1. Core Files: 1_Database.7z, 2_Server.7z, and 3_Client.7z.
  2. GRF Files: data.grf, prerenewal.grf, and rdata.grf (found in CLIENT_GRF).

Google Drive MediaFire Mega

2. Folder Setup & Extraction

  1. Create Root Folder: Create a folder named RO_PreRenewal (e.g., C:\RO_PreRenewal\).
  2. Extract Core Files: Extract 1_Database, 2_Server, and 3_Client into your RO_PreRenewal folder.
  3. Move Assets: Copy the three GRF files into the 3_Client folder. Extract your chosen BGM folder into the 3_Client folder.

3. Launching the Game

  1. Start Database: Run laragon.exe from the 1_Database folder.
  2. Start Server: Run runserver.bat from the 2_Server folder. Keep the four command windows open.
  3. Start Game: Run Ragnarok.exe from the 3_Client folder.
    (Use Ragnarok_XKore.exe if you are using OpenKore).

Security & Optimization

  1. Antivirus: To prevent slow loading or false flags, exclude the RO_PreRenewal folder from your Antivirus/Windows Security.
  2. Verification: If you wish to "diff" the client yourself using WARP, the unpatched EXE 2020-05-06a.exe and profile 2020-05-06aRagexe.yml are available in the TOOLS folder.

How to Create a New User

1. Open your browser and go to https://localhost (make sure to run laragon.exe first).

2. Go to Register (You can use a fake email and even the same email for multiple accounts).

NOTE: If you see a security warning when visiting https://localhost, it means the Laragon SSL certificate hasn’t been installed yet.

Right-click laragon in the system tray (bottom right / notification area / taskbar status area) > Apache > SSL > Add laragon.crt to Trust Store (also ensure SSL is enabled). Then restart Laragon.

If all of those still now working, just use http://127.0.0.1

Troubleshooting

Problems Solutions
Ragnarok.exe won't run Try to run opensetup.exe first, and change resolution in graphic setting section and use DirectX 7 graphics API
Install this Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes All-in-One (This also applied if you can't run the server because missing MSVCR110)
Delete savedata folder inside 3_Client
Download all the GRF files one by one, DO NOT download all at once.
Client runs poorly (low fps or stutter) Change power plans to High Performance in Windows Control Panel to make CPU clock speed stable.

Extra Notes

  1. - To keep the server organized, I've documented all modified folders and files here.
  2. - DO NOT TOUCH THESE FILES/FOLDERS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
  3. - This section is for 2_Server folder.
  4. - These files/folders have been edited to suit this server needs.
  5. - You can use Visual Studio Code to compare between the original rAthena files with these files listed below to know the difference.
  6. - AVOID editing core files directly. Use the import folders in conf and db to override settings.
  7.   This keeps your modifications organized and prevents merge conflicts during updates.
  8. - If you edit the source, you need to recompile the server to make the changes you've made take effect.
