Development Highlights
Item DB: replace numbers with constants and split View into Subtype and ViewSprite (This has been merged on Sept. 17, however, all commits were created on August 21). Added support for bitmasks, in the form of libconfig arrays of constants (strings) in the Upperand Loc fields of the item DB. Split the View field into Subtype and ViewSprite, to better describe its actual use, depending on the item type. Changed several numeric values into human-readable constants: W_* and A_* constants for the Subtype field IT_* constants for the Type field (thanks to @iRagno, from PR #1633) SEX_* constants for the Gender field (thanks to @iRagno, from PR #1633) ITEMUPPER_* (bitmask) constants for the Upper field EQP_* (bitmask) constants for the Loc field. Fixed some incorrect values in the Renewal item DB, detected thanks to the above changes. Differentiated and refactored the variables that hold view sprites from those that hold item subtypes. This includes entire contents of PR #1633, which was merged (rebased and fast-forwarded) into this branch.

Greetings everyone,
Today I'm introducing a project that I've been envisioning and working on for a couple of months, a control panel developed using Laravel (currently v5.8) that has quite a few advanced features that no other panel has offered before.
Feature Insight
Bootstrap Responsive Design
The panel by default will come with one bootstrap-based responsive design that is elegant, light coloured and adjusts to screens of all sizes. The panel is also capable of supporting custom themes.
 
Master Account System
Create and manage all your game accounts in any server from one main web-account.
 
Passwords of the master accounts are hashed using bcrypt to ensure safety for all registered users.
ROGen
Adapted from @KeyWorld's ROChargen, a library in php that extracts images from sprites and uses resources inside data folders (and not grf files). With the help of this library images of headgears, skill icons, illustrations, item images, monsters and mini maps are can be generated and displayed on web pages.
Complete Database Libraries
Using a library with conversions of information in the client folder, the website incorporates in-game information such as skill and item descriptions, quest information and much more.
Character Overview
The character overview page is an important part of a user's experience. With the features mentioned above, we're able to display alot of information about one's in-game characters on the fly.
 
User Profiles
Additionally, something that's never been seen before in RO CMS or Panels are public user profiles. The ability of a user to view another user's in-game information through the control panel.
Customisable Email Templates
 
Administration Section
The demo for this site is live and available at - http://bladecp.xyz

Hello peoples,
I've been asked recently to create official instances that aren't release on rathena yet.
Therefor, I've decided to modify or create those for hercules too.
I'll start to release the two existing in rathena that are still missing in Hercules, Horror Toy Factory and Faceworm Nest.
For those, I wouldn't ask for anything, as I made really few edits, only enough to allow them to work on Hercules.
On the other hand, if you're interested into any of the following list, on hercules or rathena, please feel free to contact me!
Here's the list of instances I've rewritten:
Airship Assault Charleston Crisis Devil Tower Endless Cellar (rathena only pour le moment) Infinite Space (rathena only pour le moment) Last Room Morse Cave Overlook Water Dungeon Poring Village Room of Consciousness Sarah And Fenrir Sky Fortress Temple of Demon God
And i've also rewritten the quest and stuff enchant for Sarah And Fenrir, Poring Village and Infinite Space.

And the General warper to instances entrance.
 
Please note that this instances are developped other videos, irowiki and database I have found (for mobs and items). Therefor, they might be not exactly the same as official. But they're as close as possible!

linux:
4. login to your linux machine
5. change directory to Hercules or your custom folder and make tools then use mapcache to compile it.
$ cd Hercules
Hercules]$ make tools
Hercules]$ ./mapcache
 

Hey everyone!
 
Some of you have left me many messages (here on the forum and on Discord) regarding my activity. Sadly, I've been quite busy working at Summer Camp (hence why I haven't been active much through the summer....). I try to check in whenever I have some time to myself, but it is quite difficult to do so with lack of internet and lack of connection.
 
Good news is... it's almost done and I'm about ready to get back to my normal routine. Please, if you have any more questions/concerns/ or just want to say hi, don't hesitate to talk to me via PM or Discord! I check Discord more often since I am on my phone more often.
 
Mystery out!

You should post your script if possible.

Hello guys !
I'm sorry for such a delay, but i have some troubles IRL, and while i'm the only one who develops this client, there was no news.
Æsir made a big step, many basic features are now accessible. It's not so much comparing with korean client, but it's a good start. With time, features will multiply.
You can download and try it right here.

Hello! ~
* Introduction
RO Hooks is a paid project, which will allow a set of custom abilities to your client, such as player name coloring, server side GM sprite and such; It is is meant to be a way to edit this old dead game client to add things either improving player's experience or giving the ability to have new of content or to give your players something special.
 
* What do we have currently
GM Clothes and Robot Clothes controller server side (Robot Clothes is a Special Event Sprite) Player Name coloring (Server-side) Item Name Coloring (Client-Side) Messages Timestamp "inspired by Project Chaos RO (nachtwolke.ai4rei.com)" More to come  
* Pictures
- GM and Robot Clothes


- Name Coloring




- Colorizing Item Names (Configure client side, could be applied to any kind of items)

- Messages Timestamp

* Which Clients are supported?
Pretty much anything 2012-04 and onward, older clients are also supported upon request.
* Is there anything more? when is this supposed to be release? And can we suggest something?
There's still other futures which will be announced soon, I'm pretty much working everyday to find something newer.
It will be released as soon as we have enough set of custom futures, also any suggestions for features is more than welcome, as soon as anything new finished i will announce it here. Also as soon as it's ready for sell I will get a Paid Service topic.

Everything working fine except one compilation warning
map\skill.c(8111): warning C4244: 'function': conversion from 'time_t' to 'int', possible loss of data
Can someone help me to fix that.  using latest hercules revision. 

Thanks to @Smoke I made a source edit which will send a clif->message stating how long until ecall can be used again.
Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to send an announcement once the timer is up.
PM me on herc discord if you are interested.

This is very useful map flag

Before I start, I need to let you know a few things about my potential solution.
I have never tried this before. I don't know how initnpctimer() interacts with instance NPCs. I don't have time to test. This might help you get started / understanding the process. // Add this NPC script to the OrcsMemory.txt instance script. 2@orcs,1,1,0    script    Orcs_Memory_Timer    FAKE_NPC,{     end; } /************* * Notes ************** Immediately after the instance is created, add this line below it: initnpctimer("Orcs_Memory_Timer"); I don't know how the Orc's Memory instance ends, but when it ends (maybe you need to add an event for when the mob is killed), add these lines: stopnpctimer("Orcs_Memory_Timer"); .@time = getnpctimer("Orcs_Memory_Timer") / 1000; if (.@time < $Orcs_Memory_Record) {    // This next bit will display time as 00:00:00 format .@hour$ = .@time % (24*60*60) / (60*60) + ""; .@min$  = .@time % (24*60*60) % (60*60) / (60) + ""; .@sec$  = .@time % (24*60*60) % (60*60) % (60) + ""; .@time$ = "" +(getstrlen(.@hour$) == 1 ? "0" : "")+ "" + .@hour$ + ":" +(getstrlen(.@min$) == 1 ? "0" : "")+ "" + .@min$ + ":" +(getstrlen(.@sec$) == 1 ? "0" : "")+ "" + .@sec$ + ""; announce("The " + getpartyname(CHAR_ID_PARTY) + " party cleared the dungeon in " + .@time$ + ", a new record!", bc_all); $Orcs_Memory_Record = .@time; } You will need to set the $Orcs_Memory_Timer to something really high before the first party does the instance. This is so the first party to clear the dungeon will be the first record. I advise going in-game and using the following atcommand: @set $Orcs_Memory_Timer 1000000000 (that's 1 billion seconds lol) *************/

First create a table, perhaps called orcs_memory
Btw, this is just off the top of my head. I cannot confirm works.
Create table with the following columns: party_id (needs to be integer) party_name (needs to be string) time (needs to be string) Then, the moment your instance completes, you can the add following script: .@PID = getcharid(CHAR_ID_PARTY); .@PN$ = getpartyname(.@PID); .@time$ = ...(I wrote in the last post how to get this) query_sql("INSERT INTO `orcs_memory` VALUES (" + .@PID + ", '" + escape_sql(.@PN$) + "', '" + .@time$ + "')"); And then for your npc, the sql query: prontera,150,150,3 script Orcs Memory Rank CLEAR_NPC,{ query_sql("SELECT `party_name`, `time` FROM `orcs_memory` ORDER BY `time` ASC LIMIT 10", .@pname$, .@rank$); mes("Orcs Memory Rank"); for (.@i = 0; .@i < getarraysize(.@rank$); ++.@i) mes("" + .@pname$[.@i] + " - " + .@rank$[.@i] + ""); close; }  

I remember there is a plugin that does this. If I recall, it is sellitem2: https://github.com/dastgir/HPM-Plugins

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. ;]

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:

RUCR
Hello Hercules Community,
I was working on RUCR this month and I am happy to announce that it's complete. The Site contains all Ragexe(upto 2016-07) and RagexeRE from 2014, fully unpacked.
It would be great if there will be no mirrors, I would be keeping this web up and running, so mirrors won't be needed.
Also, if you find any clients missing, you can post it here, and I will check if that can be uploaded.
 
 
Repo Link: DISABLED
Enjoy
 

Hello all
The question I have is not a problem, but a doubt.. related with the Client Releasers, how do they do their work?
I will have some "free" time soon, so I want to learn all about the code part of Ragnarök Online, and the question above came up to my mind.. What if, by learning it's roots, I could help hercules community getting an awesome client release? I'm learning japanese at the moment, and may use this to extract stuff from the data from jRO. I know Hercules is based on kRO, but that is a start  
So, where/how did the Client Releasers learned their stuff.. I'm really looking forward to learn how to work on this game, and I'm willing to learn new code and programs.
I don't want to take the work of the people working on Realising Clients lightly, I do not take their work lightly, but I can't express myself better than this since english is not my first language  
 
Any tip, or "guide" will be greatly appreciated
