Custom BGM and Skin Guide

[Kojiro]

I know there's another topic at suggestion board about custom BGM's, but i thought that making a new topic here would be easier to find and be more organizated.

1 - "What are Skins?"

If you don't know what Ragnarok Skins are, just take a look at your RO window. Notice that when you start playing RO, theres just a white 'nd blue theme, which gets pretty boring with the time, the main reason why people like to change skins.

example:


"How to get some cool skins them?"
Well, you have two options: Make one or download from skin sites.

Sites with skins for download

(I'll add more when i know more sites)

How to make your own skins

Basically, you just need a graphic editor (MS Paint, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP) and a template file. Or if you would prefer, just copy your RO default folder and edit all files.

I'll not get in-depth of this because i think this guide already says everything:

2 -Custom BGM

Like skins, custom BGM's help a lot when your bored of the same-old-music of Ragnarok. You just have to go at your RO Folder (C:/Program Files/Gravity/RO/) and you'll find a BGM folder with .mp3 files from 1 to 101. (or less, depends on your RO version)

Just change them with any music you want (Renaming to the number of the music you would like to change), and you have a custom RO folder.

Custom BGM Packs

If you think its too time consuming looking for good music for replacing the original ones, just donwload one of these packs.

Just extract them into a BGM folder and overwrite all the songs it asks you to.
