악튜러스/Arcturus the curse and loss of divinity

Hello XDA community ,

Long time ago , to be exactly in the year 2000 a south korean company named "Gravity"

(yes they made the famous MMORPG Ragnarok Online) made an awesome RPG with a dark and gloomy story called "Arcturus" which never found its

way to any western countries PC (released in Korea(published by wizardsoft) and Japan(published by falcom) only).

The first look remembers the viewer alot into Ragnarok Online which uses the same graphics engine!

and thats the reason i opened this thread.

If you are well informed about Ragnarok, you know about the latest ongoing releases of Ragnarok

for Android.

one of this releases is available since february of this year 2013 in the google play store.

AndRO

>>>Google play <<<

this is a well made emulator application by Chris Edisson which uses the files you need to run the game on the PC.

its really easy to use coz you dont need any background knowledge in let it run and you can enjoy your same characters

on the same servers as you would do on PC.

this is the reason why i know its possible to use this as a basic tool to make Arcturus run on Android devices.

The developer of this Ragnarok Emulator already enabled self made joystick controls and alot of other things which makes

the mobile usage of this MMORPG enjoyable.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

anyone who is interested can try the Arcturus demo for PC (its the only english demo Gravity released)

>>DOWNLOAD english demo from Fileplanet<<

(around 131MB)

another thing is the translation, you can check my youtube video about an translation

into german language i started some time ago.

sadly my files are gone coz of broken HDD T_T

but i think with help of community this is just a short thing to translate this into english.

for anyone who is willing to help can download the script files of the full game.

(everything in arcturus's data files structure works same as ragnarok , so if you modified

some files you just need to put them in the "/data" folder of the Arcturus directory.)

ragnarok gamers know what iam talking about ;)

(Arcturus uses ".PAK" packing method instead of Ragnarok's ".GRF" but it can be unpacked by "Grfwiz" which

you also can download here)

(using "GrfWiz" you should run your windows PC in korean mode to get the korean filenames instead of for example : ?=*&%$§"$%.jpg )

>>>DOWNLOAD GrfWiz from depositfiles<<<

(around 30kb)

>>>DOWNLOAD full Script files from depositfiles<<<

(around 1,7MB)

also there was an translation project at emuxhaven(Revolve now) which sadly never finished its work

additional with some knowledge this script files can be changed the way in creating a completely new story , coz this

gives instructions how the acting characters move and to where, which emoticons they use and how

the cameras fix which YX coordinates on the map.

also you could "for example" make an Ragnarok RPG with character sprites from the Ragnarok client ;)

Arcturus is a really great Game and i hope there is someone out there who could help to make it real !^-^

if there is anyithing moving abt this i can serve the data of the full version to DEV's.
