CLIENT LINK / PRE-RENEWAL

Pre-Renewal client link

Add a RateMyRagnarok link to every item description in your client. Click an item in game and its full stats page opens in your browser, with pre-renewal stats and drop rates instead of the modern ones.

Pre-Renewal database integration

ROenglishRE. Six steps, about ten minutes, and you only do it once.

1

Download ROenglishRE

Get ROenglishRE with the Pre-Renewal item files from the official repository:

llchrisll/ROenglishRE on GitHub
2

Locate the Pre-Renewal item info file

Find the item description file in your System folder. It may be named:

[RO folder]\System\itemInfo_true.lub
[RO folder]\System\rroitemInfo.lub
Usually plain ASCII. If it has Korean characters, open with Notepad++ set to ANSI encoding.
3

Add ServerMode at the top

Lua
-- Pre-Renewal mode
ServerMode = "prerenewal"
4

Find AddItemIdentifiedDesc in the file

Search for the item loop calling:

Lua
AddItemIdentifiedDesc(ItemID) -- add your lines after this
5

Paste the RateMyRagnarok link block

Lua
AddItemIdentifiedDesc(" ")
AddItemIdentifiedDesc("^777777Compare on^000000")
AddItemIdentifiedDesc("^006600<URL>https://ratemyragnarok.com/database/items/"
  ..ItemID.."/?mode="..ServerMode
  .."<INFO>https://ratemyragnarok.com/database/items/"
  ..ItemID.."/?mode="..ServerMode
  .."</INFO>RateMyRagnarok.com</URL>^000000")
6

Save & test in-game

Save the file, launch your client, and open any item description:

Opens ratemyragnarok.com/database/items/501/?mode=prerenewal

Full Working Example

Complete itemInfo main() function with RateMyRagnarok integration

If you are unsure where to place the code, here is how a complete itemInfo file looks with the integration. The ServerMode variable at the top controls which database mode your links open (renewal or prerenewal). The key lines are the ones that append the RateMyRagnarok URL to both unidentified and identified item descriptions.

This replaces your existing main() function. The main_server() function at the bottom stays unchanged. Set ServerMode to "renewal" or "prerenewal" to match your server.
Lua - itemInfo_true.lub

-- RateMyRagnarok.com Server Config
-- Set to "renewal" or "prerenewal"

            result, msg = AddItemIsCostume(ItemID, DESC.costume)
            if not result then

            end
        end
        if nil ~= DESC.PackageID then

            if not result then
                return false, msg
            end
        end
    end
    return true, "good"
end

function main_server()
    for ItemID, DESC in pairs(tbl) do
        result, msg = AddItem(ItemID, DESC.identifiedDisplayName, DESC.slotCount)
        if not result then
            return false, msg
        end
    end
    return true, "good"
end
The RateMyRagnarok link is added to both unidentified and identified descriptions so players see it no matter what. The ItemID line is optional but helpful for debugging.
