Hello everybody ! I'm working about two years on writing a complete new RO client. I hadn't so much time, as I'd wish, but now it's almost ready for a basic gameplay. So what are the advantages of having own RO client ? RO doesn't depend anymore on Koreans. It gives an ability for releasing of any new feature, whatever the players want: new 3D mobs, dynamically generated locations, everything you want. The client is cross-platform and can work on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Android natively. Thanks to using of new computer graphics features, the client works faster, consumes fewer resources, providing better graphics. For example, it loads a location instantly(to be more precise, it takes ~15 ms to load a map) - so no waiting anymore ! What are the features we have today ? Dynamic shadows and per-pixel shading(no strange blur on the ground anymore!). Correct rendering of all the sprites and locations including all the animations on the locations. Rendering the best part of effects. The most part of UI. All the network communications with server. But there are some missing features: some part of UI(skill UI for example), and some in-game interactions are missed. But all these will be fixed soon. I would find those who are interested in that project, because it will be the only project, which will be used on the servers providing better game experience. Also, a development of the project requires some means and other help, so if you have a mind and in the position, you can write to me in PM or in these comments. Some screenshots:

The dream for those who love customizing Ragnarok like myself. I cant say how anxious and happy I am. @Vlync that's not how we should welcome such a ambitious project, and when i say ambitious i mean that the complexity of this project is huge! Someone trying to accomplish something like this for the community should always be celebrated, even with the failures of previous attempts. @Temtaime Thank you for your time, and count on me with testing! Hope to give you ideas on the creation of an APIs to help developers interact with the client engine. And as you said, there is an infinity of possibilities with a custom client \o/ Hope to hear more about the project soon. ;]

Something like brAthena do: https://github.com/brAthena/brAthena/tree/master/ As fair I know this is not possible in hercules.

MySQL is only used for storing data about players. There's no substitute for db folder, you need to use db folder, item_db/mob_db read from mysql has been removed too.
