Visual Editors

Premium visual editors for game data — loot tables, spawns, portals, safezones, ore cutting, and 3D map geometry. Save behavior differs by editor; start with Backups & Recovery.

Premium Feature

All editors except the 2D Map Viewer require a Premium license.

Drop Editor

Drop Editor in 6.3.5 showing Load ItemLooting.xlsx, optional name/map inputs, and Save

Entry screen before loading a workbook. Start with Load ItemLooting.xlsx.

Edit monster loot tables visually instead of working with raw ItemLooting.xlsx spreadsheets.

Open: Click Drop Editor in the left sidebar, press Ctrl+L, or use Tools > Drop Editor.

Features

  • Select a monster to view and edit its loot table
  • Add, remove, and reorder drop entries
  • Set drop rates with calculated percentage display
  • Multi-select items for pull operations
  • Color-coded Excel export of drop configurations
  • Filter monsters by name, code, or grade

Walkthrough: change one monster's drop entry

  1. Copy your source folder, then choose Load ItemLooting.xlsx and open the copied workbook.
  2. Search for the monster code. Load monster names if you need name-based navigation.
  3. Select the intended pool and entry, choose Edit, and change one value.
  4. Review the displayed item and rate, then click Save. Check for a success message.
  5. Reload the copied workbook and confirm the change persisted. Use Parser to convert the saved workbook into a separate test output folder.

Saving here changes the workbook, not your deployed server binary. Keep a record of the original value so you can compare or restore it.

Drop Rate Format

Drop rates use RF Online's native integer format where 0x7FFF7FFF (2,147,450,879) = 100%. The editor shows both the raw value and the calculated percentage.

Monster Editor

Monster Editor in 6.3.5 showing Browse Map Folder and Load Monster Names

Entry screen before loading a map. Select the map folder containing its block DAT.

Manage monster spawn blocks per map — positions, counts, respawn timers, and spawn rates.

Open: Press Ctrl+Shift+M or use Tools > Monster Editor.

Walkthrough: inspect and edit one spawn

  1. Choose Browse Map Folder and select a copied map folder containing its related DAT and SPT files.
  2. Select the intended block/spawn. Record the monster code, count, and coordinates before editing.
  3. Change one supported field and use Edit Selected. This operation can write to the copied map files immediately.
  4. Check the status/error message, then Refresh and reselect the entry to confirm the value persisted.
  5. Test the copied map files in a staging environment before replacing live files.

If loading fails or editing is disabled, correct the reported file problem and reload. Do not mix spawn DAT and SPT files from different map revisions.

Features

  • Browse spawn blocks by map
  • Create, edit, and delete spawn blocks (up to 200 per map)
  • Configure DMM spawn points:
    • Monster code and name
    • Spawn count
    • Regen timer (seconds, minutes, hours, or days)
    • Spawn rate
  • Filter by monster name or code
  • Load coordinates from .spt scene files
  • Visual block management with inline editing

Safezone Editor

Safezone Editor in 6.3.5 showing Browse Map Folder

Entry screen before loading a map. Existing safezones are read from its EXT.spt.

Create and manage cylindrical safe zones (PvP-disabled areas) on any map.

Walkthrough: resize an existing safezone

  1. Choose Browse Map Folder and open a copy of the complete map folder.
  2. Select the intended safezone and record its original coordinates, radius, and height.
  3. Change the desired size and choose Edit Selected. The action saves the loaded SPT data.
  4. Reload the copied folder and confirm the saved size. Check the zone in your staging client/server before deploying it.

Create and delete actions also save changes. Keep an independent folder backup; closing the tab is not an undo operation. If save verification fails, follow Backups & Recovery before continuing.

Features

  • Set zone position (X, Y, Z coordinates)
  • Choose from size presets:
Preset Radius Height
Small 200 200
Medium 500 500
Large 800 800
XL 1200 1200
Tall 500 1000
Wide 1000 400
  • Custom radius and height for non-standard zones
  • Browse maps and edit zones inline
  • Export to binary format

Portal Editor

Portal Editor in 6.3.5 showing Browse Map for the server Map folder

Entry screen before loading the server Map folder. No portal edits are shown.

Manage teleportation portals between maps — both server-side connections and client-side visual data.

Concepts

Portals have two types:

Type Code Color Description
Arrival 0 Yellow Where players appear after teleporting
Clickable 1 Green Where players click to teleport

A complete portal pair needs both: a Clickable on the source map and an Arrival on the destination map.

Features

  • Load and edit portals across all maps
  • Create portal pairs (bidirectional links in one click)
  • One-way portal support for special routing
  • Cross-map validation to catch broken links
  • Client data sync — update Map.dat and NDMap.dat
  • Edit portal display names (NDMap.dat)
  • Add and delete dummy portal entries
  • Reorder portals within maps
  • Race filtering (Bellato, Cora, Accretia, All Races)

Walkthrough: review and save an existing portal

  1. Copy the server map folder and the matching client files before editing.
  2. Choose Browse Map/ and load the copied map root. Select the existing portal you want to inspect.
  3. Verify its source, destination, and arrival/clickable role. Run Validate Links before changing it.
  4. Change only the intended field in the portal view, then choose Save and check the result.
  5. Run Validate Links again and reload the saved data to confirm the change.
  6. If the operation also needs client data, load the matching copied Map.dat and NDMap.dat indicated by the workflow. A server-side save alone does not establish client synchronization.

Test both travel direction and arrival position in staging. Validation can find link problems, but it does not replace checking the portal in your actual game.

Color Coding

Color Meaning
Green Clickable portal (goto)
Yellow Arrival portal (from)
Cyan Special portal
Red Broken link (missing destination)

3D BSP Viewer

OpenGL-based 3D geometry viewer for RF Online .bsp map files.

Features

  • Edit drop chances per ore type
  • Chance normalization (auto-adjust percentages to sum to 100%)
