New items are coming

Today Joymax updated some text of the new items that will be implemented soon on Silkroad. Why I announce this? Because they are very interesting and useful for some people, mostly for those who bought chars.

1. Character Name Switch Scroll
Description: This item allows you to change the name of your character. Once you use it the name switch form will open and you will be able to change it.

2. Guild Name Switch Scroll
Description: This item allows you to change the name of your Guild. Once you use it the guild name switch form will open and you will be able to change it. Only Guildmasters can use it.

3. Indulgence Scroll
Description: During 3 hours the PK reduces 300% faster than normal while you are hunting monsters. (This is an approximated translation, the text is in Korean and pretty confusing)

All those new scrolls are Item Mall items. There is not much info about them but are already on the itemdata files so I expect them to be added soon.
Names and descriptions are translated from Korean and probably the official final english text will be different, but basically that's what the new items do. No pics of them yet.

By the way: Joymax also added new pills and invisibility potions on all stores (iSRO). Take a look at them ^_^

[Tutorial] How to enable GM console (PK2 Modification)

Today, I will post a guide with that you can enable the GM console on any SRO version, any char. With this you can use the client-sided GM functions. I won't explain here how to use the PK2 Tools, you have to look it up yourself!

In this tutorial I will replace the "Help" window with the GM console.
1. Make sure you turn off the Game Guide in your SRO settings. This is needed because otherwise the client may crash when trying to open a specific help section. Do not try to open the "help" window clicking the "?" icon appearing sometimes on Low-Level-characters, this will result in a crash.
2. Set the "Help" window shortcut key on a key that is neither number nor letter.
3. Extract the \resinfo\ folder from the media.pk2 file
4. Open "ginterface.txt" file with any text editor.
5. Search for "GDR_GAMEGUIDE:CIFGameGuide".
6. Replace "CIFGameGuide" with "CIFConsole".
7. Save the file, import it to your Media.pk2 again.
Now, if you press the "Help" shortcut key the Console will be opened.
Be careful! While entering text, shortcut keys you press will be used!


Some working commands that you can enter in GM console (amount of working commands depends on SRO version):
/zoom infinite zoom
/MsgClear clear "All" chat window
/day or /night changes daytime
/rain 50 or /snow 50 or /clearchanges weather
/frame frame mode
/sky or /ground or /char or /mobj turns off/on sky, ground, chars or map objects
/hwanmode 0/1/2/3 you look like using berserk, 0= no berserk, 1 = normal berserk, 2 = blue berserk (you get 95 title), 3 = light red berserk (you get 95 title)
/camera free camera mode
/dropitemstart and /dropitemendlists all items on the ground and saves them as txt file


Berserker mode

Zoom + Frame mode

Have fun!

God's Heritage coming to kSRO?

With the new kSRO PK2 update, we got more information about the upcoming "God's heritage" update. It could be the Legend X, but this is not sure yet.

This update will be divided in 4 stories, which will probably be quest-lines:

Togwimaeul (this means "Earth Ghost town" in Korean) - The red blood
Flame Mountains - Burning Abyss
Shipwreck - The deep green sea
Shipwreck - The sea of resentment



The stories' descriptions (rough translation):

The red blood: Endless amounts of human blood collected by Earth Ghosts
Burning Abyss: Blazing flames of the Flame Mountain, a collection of souls of heat
The deep green sea: Buried in the deep sea, a collection of memories
The sea of resentment: Endless sea of tears, a collection of spirits

Each story is divided in 8 chapters, and each chapter has a Talisman Item, I don't know yet if it's a reward or something you have to collect.
