Step one: Download the Athena server mod 601 (It is the easiest currently for newbies). A link to the download can be found here.

Step Two: Extract the athena mod601 anywhere with WinRAR.

Step Three: Download and Install RAG_SETUP1029 and SAK_SETUP1029 (both are kRO clients, and unfortunatly it's hard to find links to them currently).

Step Four: In the conf folder of your 601mod Athena folder, you'll find a file called grf-files.txt. Put the directory of your kRO data.grf and kRO Sakray sdata.grf in there. Mine looks like this:


data: C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO\data.grf
sdata: C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO\sdata.grf


Step Five: In the conf folder once again, open up the file called battle_athena.conf. Edit the stats in there to your liking, and you may not change anything.

Step Six: In the conf folder yet again, open up char_athena.conf, and change the IP addresses in there to your IP address. Next, open up map_athena.txt, and change the IP addresses to yours.
Note: If you are behind a router, open/forward ports 5121, 6121, and 6900.

Step Seven: Open up the file called account.txt. Brace yourself, here goes my explanation of how to make accounts.

Account formats are typed like this: [account ID][TAB][account name][TAB][account password][TAB][put a - (dash)][TAB][account gender in M or F][TAB][put a 0 (zero)][TAB][put a 0 (zero)]

This is what a new account should look like:


704554 Infinitie mypass - M 0 0


Account ID's don't really matter, just make them 6 digits.

Step Eight: To make an account GM, open up GM_account in the conf folder, then type the account ID of the account you want to be "GMed", then a space, then the level.

For example, if I want the account is Step Seven to be a GM account, I would type:


704554 1


704554 being the Account ID and a space and a 1. The 1 is the level, 1=GM. More advanced users can change the GM levels and create subGMs, subsubGMs, etc by opening up atcommand_athena.conf

Step Nine: Create a "data" folder in your kRO directory, which should be C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO, then put the following in it:
sclientinfo.xml

Replace "YourServerName" with... Your server's name. Then replace "Description" with your servers description (make it brief), then replace "YourIPAddress" to your server's IP address. After you save, rename the file and it's extension to sclientinfo.xml. To change a files extension, open up any folder, go to Tools>Folder Options>View Tab>Uncheck "Hide Extensions for Known File Types". Now you can see the file extension. After you rename your file and it's extension to sclientinfo.xml, it will change icons to a sort of Earth in Brackets (lol). You are also going to need a file to make sakexe.exe load from your data folder first, then your sdata.grf. I will attach this file(when you download this, put it in your kRO folder).

Step Ten: Load the server. You do this (in this order too), by clicking on login_server.exe(nothing should appear in the command prompt), then load map_server.exe(wait for it to load all data and NPCs... you'll know when it's done because it will say set eof : 7), then last load char_server.exe.

Run the game by clicking on OmegaRO.

NOTE: I will edit these instuctions as I feel fit.
