MSU Resource Search is a tool where you can browse, preview, and export game resource assets from MapleStory Universe. Using MSU Resource Search, you can search across tens of thousands of in-game assets — including Monsters, NPCs, Items, Skills, and Backgrounds — and preview their animations directly in the browser. Each resource can be exported as a spritesheet or accessed via CDN link for use in external projects.MSU Resource Search is currently in Beta, and the asset library is continuously updated.You can access it at resource-search.msu.io.
Enter a keyword in the search bar at the top of the page and click the Search button (or press Enter) to find resources by name. The result count will be displayed below the filter tabs.To clear the current search, click the X icon inside the search bar.
Below the header, action tabs let you switch between different animation states for the selected resource. For example, a Monster resource may have the following action tabs:
stand — Idle standing animation
move — Walking or moving animation
hit1 — Hit/damaged animation
die1 — Death animation
Skill resources may have tabs such as icon, iconDisabled, and iconMouseOver. Click each tab to switch the animation playing in the preview canvas.
Frame selector — Click individual frame thumbnails at the bottom of the panel to jump to a specific frame. The current frame number and total frames (e.g., 3 / 5) are displayed.
Tags are displayed as badge chips (e.g., #bodyAttack, #tier:low). Tags can be used as reference for categorizing or filtering resources programmatically.
Click the > icon at the top-right of the Resource Detail Panel to collapse it, giving the Preview Panel more horizontal space. Click again to restore it.
Click the CDN button in the Preview Panel header to copy the CDN URL of the currently selected resource animation to the clipboard. The button briefly shows “Copied!” to confirm the action.This CDN link points directly to the resource file hosted on MSU’s static resource server and can be used to reference assets in external applications or projects.
At the bottom of the Preview Panel, the Similar Resources section displays up to 11 visually or contextually related assets. Each entry shows the resource’s category badge, thumbnail, name, and a similarity percentage score.Click any item in the Similar Resources list to select it and load its details in the Preview Panel.
