try to open it via terminal see what error it says when you try to launch it from it ( ./login-server )

there is no txt server, these exe are the ones you want (login-server/char-server/map-server)

Thank you all for the feedback, its much appreciated.
We could (when I first designed this I wanted to know how much I could create, and I did 16k online at once at constant 80% cpu usage on my old dual-core) but I don't think that much are needed, as it goes live if we feel more are necessary we'll just raise the amount.

Hercules Download Section
 
Where?!!
[*]Here~

The rules
[*]None exclusive to this download section as of yet, all our forum rules extend to our download section -- e.g. no warez. Probably not for long, our moderators surely will think of some as issues show up.

Why so few categories
[*]Since we're starting from scratch we thought it'd be best if we didn't have a high number of empty categories, we'll be creating new categories as we see necessary, example: if the sprites & palettes section gets crowded (i.e. with different types of sprites) we'll create a new subcategory section for said type, and so on as more files come in.
In short, we'll be expanding as necessity comes.

Upcoming Modifications
[*]JayPee came up with a very interesting idea we'll be implementing soon, making downloads on certain areas (e.g. control panels) be capable of having their download link be their respective repository's latest zip file ( e.g. from a github project ), as to allow users to always download the latest version as opposed to having to rely on the files' author to update their file on our system.
[*]We are not yet sure whether we'll be implementing paid file support, however if we do we already have a few modification ideas from our staff whos got frustrated by similar systems' inability to counter frauds (for example introduction of measures on first-time buyers)

barely announced it and already heard some stuff, nevermind them -- I'll clear this point tho
The "Community Participation Badges" (they didn't even mind to rename it) was introduced by me to them while I was in their staff last year.
 
Yeah, such a surprise! (not)

Introducing Hercules' Stress Test Server
Hello~!
 
The "Stress" Part
Over 1.000 IndAI units (equivalent to +1k online players) will be in the server playing 24/7, farming, going to pvp, doing woe, playing battlegrounds, doing anything a player does, this will create a perfect scenario for us to debug and test Hercules.
 
The Development Benefits
We'll be able to keep track of performance usage 24/7, making us able to detect whenever a update increases a server's usage, allowing us to further optimise said update in order to take the processing down. With the AI characters doing stuff non-stop 24/7 we'll be able to identify and fix any crashes existent. Hercules will gain a super stability boost thanks to this. How to connect / Moving in and out
This is the fun part.
No new clients, and no sclient/clientinfo/blablabla edits will be required. get to the test server by typing '@hercules warp', test whatever you like, and go back to your server with '@hercules leave'. This technology *might* also be employed in the future by us to create hercules-hosted inter-server events.
 
Entirely Secure
The only data your server will pass to our test server upon warp is the name of the character (and maybe hairstyle vals).
The test server is unable to modify (or even access) any data on your server, it is entirely secure and damage-free.
 
Unique to Hercules
The ability to connect through your ordinary client will be made possible by our custom server hosted over at herc.ws, the code won't be made public.
 
Coming
I felt inspired to write about this feature, which is why this announce is out before the feature itself.
This is one of the features to be powered by our Hercules Plugin Manager and will be made public once the HPM implementation reaches the level capable of sustaining it.

FAQ
what if i dont want my players to go to the test server?@hercules is a command like any other, you can restrict access by groups.conf (by default only gms will be able to use it) what if i dont have a test server to use as a gateway to the hercules stress test server?we will also provide clients for those who don't have/want to use a server as the gateway

Hercules CC Program
Hello~! - What?!
We're changing how the CC Badge works, making it a position that actually makes sense with it's name: a position given to community members who've contributed to Hercules.
 
Badge Requirement
Any of the following will make you elegible to receive the title, be aware the position is not automatically-granted, the staff who oversees the section in question will appoint you to receive the title.
Outstanding presence in the bug report section Outstanding presence in the wiki Outstanding presence in the support sections (helping others) Outstanding presence in the downloads sections (sharing your stuff) Help the development by providing key information Any other outstanding effort to contribute to Hercules not necessarily listed here (we'll add more items as we see fit)  
Position Benefits
We have plans/intentions to implement specific benefits depending on why each title was given (e.g. if its because you're active in the bug reports section you may receive pseudo-moderation-powers on that section), however at this point in time the title is only a title -- there are no benefits to it yet.

barely announced it and already heard some stuff, nevermind them -- I'll clear this point tho
The "Community Participation Badges" (they didn't even mind to rename it) was introduced by me to them while I was in their staff last year.
 
Yeah, such a surprise! (not)

The packets work, you can buy, list, etc. BUUUUT I wouldn't bet it is 100% complete -- I'm not very aware of how the cashpoint stuff works, I'd guess the behavior is not 100% -- BUUUT getting the packets to work was the toughest part, just drop us a bug report and we sure will fix any broken formulas instantly. I'm not aware of what the official servers have in it being sold either, I've put random garbage with absurdly high prices in the db (so we all can debug). BTW This only works on ragexe (not ragexere!) clients, e.g. : http://herc.ws/board/topic/289-2013-ragexe-area/ Special Thanks

Introducing Hercules' Stress Test Server
Hello~!
 
The "Stress" Part
Over 1.000 IndAI units (equivalent to +1k online players) will be in the server playing 24/7, farming, going to pvp, doing woe, playing battlegrounds, doing anything a player does, this will create a perfect scenario for us to debug and test Hercules.
 
The Development Benefits
We'll be able to keep track of performance usage 24/7, making us able to detect whenever a update increases a server's usage, allowing us to further optimise said update in order to take the processing down. With the AI characters doing stuff non-stop 24/7 we'll be able to identify and fix any crashes existent. Hercules will gain a super stability boost thanks to this. How to connect / Moving in and out
This is the fun part.
No new clients, and no sclient/clientinfo/blablabla edits will be required. get to the test server by typing '@hercules warp', test whatever you like, and go back to your server with '@hercules leave'. This technology *might* also be employed in the future by us to create hercules-hosted inter-server events.
 
Entirely Secure
The only data your server will pass to our test server upon warp is the name of the character (and maybe hairstyle vals).
The test server is unable to modify (or even access) any data on your server, it is entirely secure and damage-free.
 
Unique to Hercules
The ability to connect through your ordinary client will be made possible by our custom server hosted over at herc.ws, the code won't be made public.
 
Coming
I felt inspired to write about this feature, which is why this announce is out before the feature itself.
This is one of the features to be powered by our Hercules Plugin Manager and will be made public once the HPM implementation reaches the level capable of sustaining it.
