Blue Eye Macro

What is an ACT file?

The monsters in Ragnarok are programed to do several movements to create animation specific to what they are intended to do. They have animation to walk, in some monsters they are just up and down movement. They also have the animation they do when they are being hit.

Usually when we create our bots, we only change the SPR file or the sprite of the monster for our pixel bot. But what happens is that the act of the monster is still the same. They have the same actions but the only thing different is the sprite.

Since most of you are using the spr file of your own or the the spr file that Roan1234321 provided, I find it a little bit cluttered when only changing the spr file of the monster. Let me just give you an example of this:

Without changing the ACT file

You can see multiple square boxes layering on each other.

With changing the ACT file

You can see a single box representing the monster

To get this effect, use my ACT & SPR File for your monster to attack or evade.


You can also check if you did it right by going to your grf editor. Search for the monster you want to change then
1.) Click on the act file then,
2.) Click on animation preview and lastly,
3.) Select what animation would you like to see.
Look at this example:




Colors used in SPR file
Yellow = RGB( 255, 255, 00)
Pink = RGB( 224, 32, 128)

Thanks again man!

Regarding the AutoPot macro, I managed to make it work, I just had to change the x and y coordinates. I don't know if because of the screen resolution I'm using, but the ones you passed didn't work here for me. However, I used BEM's Investigator and got the right coordinates for my client, and it works!

The TeleportOnMonsterSkill macro did not work, I believe because of the coordinates as well. I tried to use the investigator to see the coordinates closest to the character (I don’t know if it’s those coordinates I should look for, correct me if I’m wrong) however, he continues to teleport when the skill is used on other players (in other corners of the screen).

Anyway, we are on the right path, thank you for the help you have given me so far, I am managing to improve my macro more and more. I think with a few adjustments it will work 100%.

I would recommend not changing act files,
some monster have more act than common monsters which could cause error. If the game server request an act that is not on your grf file it would crash the game client.
I would rather recommend just editing the spr files you can just add more images in your spr files 150 images would be safe I have seen monster that has 78 images so I just double it you can make smaller image's if you want..

Hi, thank you for this thread.. anyway im trying to follow your instruction and hopefully to make it work for a friend. He just ask me to try making bot/macro for ragnarok private server he is playing with..

Update:
I updated the grf files using the files you posted yet it doesnt update sprite of the particular monster that i tried to replace. anyway here is what it looks like, wonder what I'm doing wrong.. I already saved the grf and closed the grf editor and reopen the game



Update Again:

It seems that the gepard catches me doing some editing to the original grf file and closes the game, anyway to bypass this? thanks

So you are recommending to create a specific .spr file for a specific monster? So disecting each monster sprite and changing only the need frame to create the transparency effect you are pointing at. Doing trial and errors on the .spr file of the monster? I get your point but I think we have a learning community here, so the best example is to show people how to do it. You can create a tutorial supporting your claims. You can start with the creamy mob. To help other people who are having problems clicking on random coordinates because of the changing animations of the mobs. Thank you.
