[color=#FF8000]Simple PK2 guide:

The chapters:
1) What is pk2(-edit)ing?
2) How do I start pk2ing?

1) What is pk2ing?
Pk2(-edit)ing is a common term used when referring to changing silkroad's game files
to (very basicly) change the things you seen on your screen.
This can be anything from changing your weapon to another degree to changing the color of a seal of star glow.

2) How do I start pk2ing?
Alright, how to start.
In order to view the 9th/10th set and more you'll need korean silkroad files.
ftp://yahoogame.nefficient.co.kr/pub/ya ... 06_537.exe
(from the korean website itself (http://kr.silkroad.yahoo.com/dataroom/download.asp)
so no need for a scan, nor would i like to upload a 900mb file with my connection)

Now first, copy your current (international) silkroad folder to another harddrive, or copy it to another
directory and rename it, and save your screenshots somewhere if you want to.
Then install the above link (it will overwrite your current silkroad) and let it update.

Thereafter go to that harddrive or directory wherever you copied your internation silkroad folder to,
and copy the entire korean silkroad next to it (renamed, so it won't overwrite anything).

Then you have those 2 silkroad versions next to eachotter, copy the international silkroad once again,
and rename it "MOD" or whatever you find usefull.
Then copy these files from korean silkroad to that "MOD" map:
-Data.pk2
-Particles.pk2

Now the get it clear, you now have a harddrive/directory with these maps:
-Internation Silkroad (fully updated, usable as backup, never modify files in this map)
-Korean Silkroad (fully updated, usable as backup, never modify files in this map)
-MOD Silkroad (Internation Silkroad files beside data.pk2+particles.pk2)

The tools!

and keep these files from the file above:
-Pk2Editor.exe
-Pk2Extractor.exe
-GFXFileManager.dll
Then these download and install these 2:
