Introducing Hercules' Map Zone Database
Hello~! - What?!
1st, it is a merge from item_noequip.txt and skill_nocast_db.txt functionality. 2nd, it is a major improvement on what these features did in both performance and usability. map_zone_db.txt format sample
{     name: "My Zone"     inherit: ( "My Other Zone" )     disabled_skills: {         AL_HEAL: "PLAYER | MONSTER | ELEMENTAL"         AL_TELEPORT: "MONSTER"         MG_FIREBOLT: "NONE"         //MG_NAPALMBEAT: "PLAYER"         //ID11: "PLAYER"     }     disabled_items: {         Assumptio_5_Scroll: false         //Apple: true         //ID501: true     }     mapflags: (         "adjust_skill_damage    MG_FIREBOLT    250",         "adjust_unit_duration    PR_SANCTUARY    50"     )     /* "command:min-group-lv-to-override" e.g. "heal: 70" */     disabled_commands: {         //Example Below makes @heal be used in maps within this zone only by those group lv 70 and above         //heal: 70     }     skill_damage_cap: {         //Exemple Below caps firebolt damage in maps within this zone to a maximum 50 damage,         // (depends on HMAP_ZONE_DAMAGE_CAP_TYPE in src/config/core.h)         // when cast vs players and monsters.         //MG_COLDBOLT: (50,"PLAYER | MONSTER")     } } Notes on the format
In disabled_skills the var following the name (: "PLAYER | MONSTER | HOMUN | MERCENARY | ELEMENTAL | PET | CLONE | MOB_BOSS") is what allows a zone to know what unit types should have this skill disabled. In the sample above, for example, in My Zone, player, monster and elemental unit types are unable to cast heal, while only monsters are unable to cast teleport. this variable may also be used to ignore skills from inheritance, for example if My Other Zone disabled a number of skills, including MG_FIREBOLT, in My Zone all of them will be disabled as well, except for MG_FIREBOLT since it is set as NONE. In disabled_items the var following the name (: true or : false) is what allows a zone to override what it inherited, for example if My Other Zone disables a number of items, including Assumptio_5_Scroll, in My Zone all of them will be disabled as well, except Assumptio_5_Scroll since it is as false. A zone may enforce an unlimited number of mapflags on all its maps, by using this sample all maps under My Zone will have Fire Bolt damage increased by 2.5x and Sanctuary will have its duration halved. A unlimited number of maps may be linked to a specific zone through a mapflag '<map name><tab>mapflag<tab>zone<tab><zone name>' Changes The mf_restrict (restrict) was dropped. item_noequip.txt and skill_nocast_db.txt were dropped, replaced by map_zone_db.txt. setmapflag script command was modified to support the new zones. @mapinfo was modified to support the new zones, also modified the formatting and made it include the amount of vendings. Improvements As opposed to item_noequip.txt and skill_nocast_db.txt, map_zone_db.txt supports an unlimited number of zones. map_zone_db.txt implementation surpasses the ones from item_noequip.txt and skill_nocast_db.txt, making item equipping (pc_useitem/status_calc_pc) and skill using (previously skillnotok, now status_check_skilluse) processing much faster and efficient. @mapinfo performance was improved (was doing chat room dbmap lookups without even checking if player was on the map in question) Special Thanks to Muad_Dib <3. to lighta for discussing the feature with me and helping design the unit-based restrictions on skills to Bahmut and Emistry for ideas on how to format the file. to kyeme for feature ideas. Links~! Commit Commit 2 (update) Map Zone Database File

During test period it will be disabled by default, to enable you must edit conf/battle/feature.conf // Roulette (Note 1)// Requires: 2014-10-22bRagexe or later// Off by default while test version is out; enable at your own risk -- the mean dev.feature.roulette: off Roulette rewards can be defined in db/roulette_db.conf As we understand the coins are points that you obtain by consuming an item, while such an item is not yet available (will be in a upcoming commit), you can set these values with @set command, they're TmpRouletteBronze,TmpRouletteSilver and TmpRouletteGold -- e.g. @set TmpRouletteBronze 5 Requires PACKETVER 20141022 or higher. Where you can get such client? Here (Again, Thanks to Yommy!) In action: http://herc.ws/board/damocles/ind/screenHercules136.jpg
  Per-Character Gender
Sex is now a character table field, which can be defined as 'M', 'F' or 'U'. 'U' being the default value, meaning undefined, which means the accounts gender takes precedence (upcoming) a script command to change a characters gender Requires PACKETVER 20141022 or higher.

Commit 2014-10-22 client

Hello Hercules, its been a while
 
here i present a new client, which requires a fully updated kRO and Hercules.
https://mega.co.nz/#!kYRAFRqJ!GF4vLIcOKQHsIQkCgZ2oGbXiJaxRsmn1ldohBgOXi3I
 
its already patched with some options, which i needed for testing..
..Disable Ahnlab
..Disable ragexe filename check
..Read msgstringtable
..Read datafolder first
 
NEMO Patcher should work for most things, but there may be some patches that are broken.

We're re-introducing console input ( hercules renewal'd ), and whats this? it's the ability to type commands into login/char/map server console/terminals, that are then interpreted and acted upon. This feature was once available through a long-deprecated plugin, we're re-introducing it as a built in feature and far more efficient than the previous version. Currently, the old commands are being used, we'll be replacing them in the coming days and adding new ones, besides improving the functionality (so that if you use a gm command through console it wont require you to type gm position more than once, among other stuff).
By the way, typing 'shutdown', 'exit', 'quit' or 'end' will replicate the effect of @mapexit.
It's a optional feature, can be disabled in src/config/core.h by commenting the following line:
#define CONSOLE_INPUT

Hercules WPE Free - June 14th Patch
 
Made Possible Thanks to Yommy
We're only able to provide you with this feature thanks to Yommy, Thank you very much! WPE Free - Official Packet Obfuscation Support Packet spamming is no longer possible by normal means, with this feature each packet sent has its own id, so spamming (by sending the same packet more than once) is impossible. For this feature to function you MUST NOT use the 'disable packet obfuscation' client diff. conf/battle/client.conf
// Whether to enable the official packet obfuscation support (good vs WPE)// 0: disabled// 1: optional (not recommended) -- identifies whether it is required// 2: enabled (recommended)packet_obfuscation: <value>
Currently functional for over 44 clients (Thanks to Shakto!): 2011-08-17 - 2015-05-13 Special Thanks to Yommy ..Yommy ...The all-awesome Yommy~! Thank you again! Shakto for the 44 PacketKeys! Also - SQL DB Updates & DB2SQL For logical and performance reasons we've modified the structure of the renewal item db tables, atk and matk no longer share the same column, equip_level was replaced by equip_level_min so that we could add equip_level_max which is required by new renewal items. Note however that because of the previous atk:matk format, it was not possible to provide a upgrade file that would save the matk data Item script errors from sql dbs used to point to a inexistent line number, it was modified to display the item id instead. This update has shrunk the sizes of the item db .sql files, making it possible for tools such as phpmyadmin to parse them, once again. With this patch we're also introducing a new official plugin, db2sql, its purpose is to make it easier for our developers to keep the .sql db files up to date (but you may use that to convert your own if you so desire, too), to use this plugin (when it is enabled in plugins.conf) type server tools db2sql in the console.

Hercules: 1st 2014 MEGAPATCH
Helloooo! Starting 2014 with a boom, yet another outstanding patch from Hercules! Patch Item #1: Scripting Level UP
Char and account variables overhaul They're no longer limited to #define ACCOUNT/GLOBAL_REG_NUM, they're now limitless Their storage capabilities have received a colossal improvement, each numeric variable now uses at least 1/10 the memory it did previously, and we achieved it while increasing speed, simply outstanding as expected from us. Thanks to their quantity no longer being limited, char and account variables now support arrays, i.e. setarray #accreg[y],...; Saving and loading procedures have been improved outstandingly! for instance, previously, if you had 100 char regs but only one had been modified or deleted, map server would need to send all of them and char server would have to re-insert all of them; now only modified or deleted ones are saving, increasing saving speed of both map and char server procedures and decreasing inter-server bandwidth by dinosaur steps. Magnificent Array Improvement (to all variable types) Size limit modified from 127 to ...2 billion! Speed of countless array operations have been improved thanks to new array handling, e.g. whereas previously upon deleting any array it'd set its 127 possible values to 0 (regardless of how many values it actually had) now it only deletes as many members as it possesses getarraysize (the-oh-misleading-function since it returns the arrays' highest index) has been sped up as well thanks to this, and it no longer wastes script stack room on every interaction And the futureThis improvement has open way for many other amazing features, for example, Haruna has designed a foreach implementation for scripting among some other useful enhancements Global account variable handling redesign To clarify, this is that ancient type used on multiple-char-server setups, ##varname, which are present in all servers an accounts logs into, as opposed to #varname which, while account-wide, are considered 'local' to a char server. Saving and loading have been modified to match char/local-acc variable new design, on its own it already is a major speed boost and bandwidth saver, however, it has also improved login servers overall processing speed, thanks to its processing no longer being attached to ordinary account handling, this means that all operations that required login server to use an accounts data (i.e. login/pincode change/ban/block/etca) have been sped up, and use less memory. '.', '.@' and ''' variables write operation speed up trying to write ''' variables outside instances will now print warnings instead of silently doing nothing runtime read/write operations of global/temporary(@) char variables, as well as account variables, have been considerably sped up, whereas previously it'd run a str lookup to find a match for read/write it now uses the variable id, furthermore it now relies on DBMaps to handle the lookup (whereas previously it was a normal loop). Database tables overhaulWe've analysed global reg data storage and we've decided that it not only is a memory waste, it is a processing one as well due to how int and str variables share the same storage, we've analysed global reg data for a number of large servers and have identified most variables are numbers, by a outstanding majority, with that in mind, this patch introduces 6 tables that will improve this drastically. You'll notice this patch's SQL upgrade file will take care of this, and thus migrate the data properly into the new tables. Special Thanks To:
Haruna ! <3 wouldn't have gotten half of it done if it weren't for Haru, thank you so much sensei! jaBote, for proposing it! Emistry Yommy Streusel Patch Item #2: @autotrade Persistency
Also known as: @at merchants survive server crashes/restart, as soon as the server starts again they're re-spawned. May be disabled on src/config/core.h by commenting out AUTOTRADE_PERSISTENCY Special Thanks To:

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

If you wish to request support through IRC, please note:
Don't join and say something like "hello?" or "is anyone here?" or "can anyone help me with x?" or "does anyone know about x?".

Everyone on IRC is there voluntarily, and users generally leave chat rooms open for long periods of time and return periodically to check for unanswered questions. Asking "hello?!" is demanding the attention of everyone in the channel. Worse yet, you haven't asked any question that can be answered!

A better approach is to just join and ask your question. If someone knows the answer, they'll help you. If not, be patient. Regular users of IRC generally like helping others. Being friendly and respectful means you're likely to have a positive interaction.


  Don't disconnect or close your client. Unlike most messaging services, you must be connected to receive replies. This means you can't just ask a question and then leave to come back later. Users will be completely unable to communicate with you as long as you are disconnected and you will not see the messages when you log back in.

You must keep your IRC client connected at all times if you wish to get a reply.


  Do be specific about your problem. Don't ask "my code isn't working, what's wrong?" without providing any details.
You're more likely to get a helpful response if you explain your problem up front instead of waiting for someone to ask for more details.


  Don't flood the channel. This may seem obvious, but it means things like don't post large blocks of code to the channel. Try to keep your questions to one or two paragraphs at most. It's a public space, and messages are generally no longer than a few sentences.

If you wish to send your code or some misc data please use a pastebin service, for instance: https://0bin.net https://ncry.pt https://gist.github.com https://pastebin.mozilla.org

Hercules casts "Memory Slasher !!" - May 30 Patch
Memory Slasher !!
Regardless all the fancy features in it, this patch's greatest achievement is smart, clever employment of memory, by looking at our memory usage wisely we've been able to reduce map-server's memory (RAM) usage by more than 2/3, about 183MB of RAM were dropped, while maintaining Hercules outstanding record on performance improvement. Beyond the memory usage drop there is also a significant processing speed improvement which can be noticed during boot, map cache loading which used to account for most of the map-servers boot time no longer exists, its gone, dead, fini, boom! it was replaced by a smart map cache handler that loads its data only when a map is necessary (the data is then kept until shut down), this logic also makes map-server's shut down process a hell lot faster.
 
Instance Rework
As suggested by the community, this wasnt supposed to be bundled with this commit but the memory usage improvements required me to modify how instances were stored, so I re-wrote part of it to fit the suggestion as well.
Instance Functionality/Feature Server may now create instances of any maps regardless of client-side edits, e.g. one can clone prontera and call it "mymapname" (as is best described in the *instance_attachmap script command note) Instances may now be available in 4 distinct ways (as is best described in *instance_create script command note), by nobody (server type instance, to be used with special map names), by a sole character, by a party, or by a guild Script Command Changes *instance_create 2nd param is now called owner_id instead of party_id, and it got a 3rd optional param that defines what kind of owner id it is (when not provided, assumes party_id, for backwards compatibility), available options are (IOT_ stands for INSTANCE OWNER TYPE) IOT_NONE (0), IOT_CHAR (1), IOT_PARTY (2) and IOT_GUILD (3). *instance_destroy no longer autodetects instance id from party id *instance_attachmap now supports a 4th, optional, param, "<new map name>", it will allow you to specify a entirely new map name for the instance (without the need of client-side edits). This option can be best employed when used on a instance of <owner_type> IOT_NONE *instance_detachmap no longer autodetects instance id from party id *instance_id no longer supports any param *instance_set_timeout no longer autodetects instance id from party id *instance_announce no longer autodetects instance id from party id, and to tell it to autodetect from the attached script you must set instance_id param as -1 as opposed to 0 *instance_npcname no longer autodetects instance id from party id *has_instance no longer autodetects instance from party, however it now checks if attached player possesses a instance with same map as has_instance(<param>) checks for *instance_warpall no longer autodetects instance from party Other ChangesInstance IDs (valid ones) are now always >= 0 as opposed to > 0 (update your scripts!) Battlegrounds Queue
As suggested by the community, most of its features were added in this patch, we were unable to finish it though because we lacked some information, we've put our questions in this topic, once our questions are answered we should be able to finish it in a matter of minutes (all the heavy lifting was done in this patch).
Arenas They're easily configurable in the new conf/battlegrounds.conf file, it possible to add more arenas by editing the client's lua files/entryqueue/entryqueuelist.lua file Configuration Sample arenas: ({    name: "Tierra Gorge" //must match the name in client files    event: "Tierra_BG2::OnPlayerListReady"    minLevel: 80    maxLevel: 150    reward: {/* amount of badges awarded on each case */        win: 3        loss: 1        draw: 1    }    minPlayers: 6 /* minimum amount of players to start */    maxPlayers: 60 /* maximum amount of players */    minTeamPlayers: 6 /* minimum amount of team members required for a team (party or guild) to join */    delay_var: "Tierra_BG_Tick" /* npc variable name that will store the delay for this match */    maxDuration: 30 /* maximum duration in minutes, if reached game ends and highest score wins (or calls a draw if scores are equal) */},{    name: "KVM (Level 59 and below)" //must match the name in client files    event: "KvM03_BG::OnPlayerListReady"    minLevel: 1    maxLevel: 59    reward: {/* amount of badges awarded on each case */        win: 1        loss: 0        draw: 0    }    minPlayers: 4 /* minimum amount of players to start */    maxPlayers: 60 /* maximum amount of players */    minTeamPlayers: 5 /* minimum amount of team members required for a team (party or guild) to join */    delay_var: "KVM_BG_Tick" /* npc variable name that will store the delay for this match */    maxDuration: 30 /* maximum duration in minutes, if reached game ends and highest score wins (or calls a draw if scores are equal) */}) QueueWe wanted to make the queue as easy to play with as possible, so we've created a whole new set of script commands designed with this purpose. These commands make it easy to create and control queues for anything, games, events, quests, and of course in this case, the battleground's queue. Queue - Script Commands *queue()creates a new queue instance, returns created queue id set .@id,queue(); *queuesize(<queue_id>)returns the amount of entries in queue instance of <queue_id>. set .@length,queuesize(.@queue_id); *queueadd(<queue_id>,<var_id>)adds <var_id> to queue of <queue_id>, returns 1 if <var_id> is already present in the queue, 0 otherwise. queueadd(.@queue_id,.@var_id); *queueremove(<queue_id>,<var_id>)removes <var_id> from queue of <queue_id>, returns 1 if <var_id> is not present in the queue, 0 otherwise. queueremove(.@queue_id,.@var_id); *queueopt(<queue_id>,<optionType>,{Optional <option val>})modifies <queue_id>'s <optionType>, when <option val> is not present, <optionType> is removed from <queue_id>, when present it modifies <queue_id>'s <optionType> with the new <option val> value.
Currently 3 options are available, HQO_OnDeath (0), HQO_OnLogout (1), HQO_OnMapChange (2) (the constant names are not final). queueopt(.@queue_id,0,"MyNPC::MyOnQueueMemberDeathEventName");It allows you to hook npc events to be triggered by specific actions that may happen to a player in the queue (when the queue in question is used for account ids) *queuedel(<queue_id>)deletes <queue_id> returns 1 when <queue_id> is not found, 0 otherwise. queuedel(.@queue_id); *queueiterator(<queue_id>)creates a new queue iterator instance, a queue iterator is not a reference to a queue's actual members, it copies the queues members when initialized, this way you can loop through them even if you remove them from the queue set .@it,queueiterator(.@queue_id); *qicheck(<queue_iterator_id>)checks whether there is a next member in the iterator's queue, 1 when it does, 0 otherwise. qicheck(.@queue_iterator_id); *qiget(<queue_iterator_id>)obtains the next member in the iterator's queue, returns the next member's id or 0 when it doesnt exist. for( set .@elem,qiget(.@queue_iterator_id); qicheck(.@queue_iterator_id); set .@elem,qiget(.@queue_iterator_id) ) *qiclear(<queue_iterator_id>)deletes a queue iterator from memory, returns 1 when it fails, 0 otherwise. qiclear(.@queue_iterator_id) Sample Usage: /* say create a queue */set .@id,queue();queueadd(.@id,getcharid(3));/* ... add as many entries ... (no limit) */if( queuesize(.@id) == 999 ) {    /* whatever */}/* anywhere in the code */set .@it,queueiterator(.@id);for( set .@elem,qiget(.@it); qicheck(.@it); set .@elem,qiget(.@it) ) {    //do anything e.g.    /* attachrid .@elem; */    /* mes "ID:"+.@elem; */}qiclear(.@it); Special Thanks To
