Greetings all,
 
Today, I am introducing a project I've been envisioning and working on for a couple of months that is finally in a usable and sharing state where multiple people could potentially contribute to the project.
 
Introducing HAT!
 
What is HAT?!
HAT, or Hercules Admin Tool, is an administration tool for your RO server running the Hercules emulator. It is coded in PHP and Javascript and uses backends of CodeIgniter and Twitter Bootstrap to present information in a secure and meaningful way. Written by a server owner for a server owner. It is completely Open Source and hosted on Github, released under the Apache license.
 
Another Control Panel? Too many! Stop making these damn things!
Yes, another one. However, this one is different. A lot of Control Panels today are written as a CMS for your users as well as administration for your GM's. HAT is not designed to be accessed by your users, similar to the PHPMyAdmin tool. Your users will never know its there, therefore already enhancing security. However, contrary to PHPMyAdmin, you can more deeply control what your GM's have access to.
 
Oooh, control? I'm a control freak, tell me more!
HAT has a separate database of users for your GM's that have access to your panel. You're not relying on the login table of your server and their group level to provide access. Instead, a separate user database allows access, with a fully customisable set of permission settings on what those GM's can do and not do. 98 different permission sets are possible. So, you can have an in-game support GM with some limited powers in game, and they don't have to have access to your admin panel. Likewise, you can have a developer who only needs access to some server functions and your item/mob DB's without access to your server's accounts.
 
What other features does it have?
HAT gives you the ability to administrate just about everything on your Hercules server or its databases. It's a backend tool designed to be installed to the same server as your running Hercules server, giving you error tracking, server restarting and GM commands through a web interface without needing to login to SSH. With its fully responsive interface, its suitable for access via mobile, tablet or desktop without comprising access to information you need.
 
So far, a somewhat complete list of the features already done:
Account Management including: Changing account name, email, reset passwords/PINs, manage bans, account notes, account flags, manage account storage Character Management including: Change character name, stats, levels, jobs, items, flags Guild Management including: Change guild name, leader Server Management including: Viewing server console logs, start/stop/restart running Hercules server, reload item/mob db's, scripts and battleconf, viewing server performance data Admin Management including: Add/disable/delete GM's, assign/delete/change permission sets (groups)

More features being added almost every week!
 
How can I use it?
Note that the panel is still in constant development and could be unstable. We would appreciate more testers and bug reports regarding the panel. While I try to write and test code that I know will work before pushing it to Github, sometimes I miss something or it doesn't work as expected in another environment. If you're willing to contribute by using and reporting bugs, you can find the panel to download here:
 
https://github.com/jguy1987/HercAdminTool
 
I found a bug! How do I report it to you?!
You can use the Github issue tracker to report bugs: https://github.com/jguy1987/HercAdminTool/issues
 
I want XYZ feature! Can you make it?
Maybe. Use the Gitbhub issue tracker to give me the suggestion and I'll see if I can/want to add it: https://github.com/jguy1987/HercAdminTool/issues
 
You lied! My panel completely destroyed my server!
Take backups. As mentioned above, you're using something that is constantly in development. If you encounter a bug, please report it. If you encounter an issue that leads to the destruction of data, this is a beta product, and I'm sorry, but I cannot and will not be held responsible.
 
What are the system and server requirements for running the HAT?!
 
The following system I run my testing on, let me know if you have similar results with a system with different packages or such:
* Linux, specifically Ubuntu 14.04. Windows or BSD at this moment is completely untested. I plan on hopefully testing this weekend.
* apache2, version 3.4.7
* php5, version 5.5.9
* php5-mcrypt needs to be installed and enabled. You can do such by adding to your php.ini: `extension=mcrypt.so`.
* php5-mysql extension. MySQL can be installed on a different machine if you so desire but you must have the php5 extension installed on the machine
* apache needs to be configured to include the mod_rewrite extension. In addition, your per directory settings for apache configuration must allow "follow symlinks" and "AllowOverride all".
* You can optimize Apache to use a bit less memory so that your Hercules server can expand if you do not anticipate many people using your panel by taking the following steps:
- Install apache2-mpm-prefork.
- Reduce the amount of clients your apache can serve and reduce the amount of servers it starts up in httpd.conf/apache2.conf.
 
So....
Github: https://github.com/jguy1987/HercAdminTool
IRC: irc.rizon.net @ #hercadmintool - if you want to talk to me about it or submit features or poke me to do more work.
Demo available at: http://hatdemo.jemstuff.com
The demo can be access with username/password: admin/admin. You can do most things in the demo so feel free to play around. I know there's not much data there to experiment with, but feel free to play.

* apache needs to be configured to include the mod_rewrite extension. In addition, your per directory settings for apache configuration must allow "follow symlinks" and "AllowOverride all".
* You can optimize Apache to use a bit less memory so that your Hercules server can expand if you do not anticipate many people using your panel by taking the following steps:
- Install apache2-mpm-prefork.
- Reduce the amount of clients your apache can serve and reduce the amount of servers it starts up in httpd.conf/apache2.conf.
 
So....
Github: https://github.com/jguy1987/HercAdminTool
IRC: irc.rizon.net @ #hercadmintool - if you want to talk to me about it or submit features or poke me to do more work.
Demo available at: http://hatdemo.jemstuff.com
The demo can be access with username/password: admin/admin. You can do most things in the demo so feel free to play around. I know there's not much data there to experiment with, but feel free to play.

Greetings all,
 
Today, I am introducing a project I've been envisioning and working on for a couple of months that is finally in a usable and sharing state where multiple people could potentially contribute to the project.
 
Introducing HAT!
 
What is HAT?!
HAT, or Hercules Admin Tool, is an administration tool for your RO server running the Hercules emulator. It is coded in PHP and Javascript and uses backends of CodeIgniter and Twitter Bootstrap to present information in a secure and meaningful way. Written by a server owner for a server owner. It is completely Open Source and hosted on Github, released under the Apache license.
 
Another Control Panel? Too many! Stop making these damn things!
Yes, another one. However, this one is different. A lot of Control Panels today are written as a CMS for your users as well as administration for your GM's. HAT is not designed to be accessed by your users, similar to the PHPMyAdmin tool. Your users will never know its there, therefore already enhancing security. However, contrary to PHPMyAdmin, you can more deeply control what your GM's have access to.
 
Oooh, control? I'm a control freak, tell me more!
HAT has a separate database of users for your GM's that have access to your panel. You're not relying on the login table of your server and their group level to provide access. Instead, a separate user database allows access, with a fully customisable set of permission settings on what those GM's can do and not do. 98 different permission sets are possible. So, you can have an in-game support GM with some limited powers in game, and they don't have to have access to your admin panel. Likewise, you can have a developer who only needs access to some server functions and your item/mob DB's without access to your server's accounts.
 
What other features does it have?
HAT gives you the ability to administrate just about everything on your Hercules server or its databases. It's a backend tool designed to be installed to the same server as your running Hercules server, giving you error tracking, server restarting and GM commands through a web interface without needing to login to SSH. With its fully responsive interface, its suitable for access via mobile, tablet or desktop without comprising access to information you need.
 
So far, a somewhat complete list of the features already done:
Account Management including: Changing account name, email, reset passwords/PINs, manage bans, account notes, account flags, manage account storage Character Management including: Change character name, stats, levels, jobs, items, flags Guild Management including: Change guild name, leader Server Management including: Viewing server console logs, start/stop/restart running Hercules server, reload item/mob db's, scripts and battleconf, viewing server performance data Admin Management including: Add/disable/delete GM's, assign/delete/change permission sets (groups)

More features being added almost every week!
 
How can I use it?
Note that the panel is still in constant development and could be unstable. We would appreciate more testers and bug reports regarding the panel. While I try to write and test code that I know will work before pushing it to Github, sometimes I miss something or it doesn't work as expected in another environment. If you're willing to contribute by using and reporting bugs, you can find the panel to download here:
 
https://github.com/jguy1987/HercAdminTool
 
I found a bug! How do I report it to you?!
You can use the Github issue tracker to report bugs: https://github.com/jguy1987/HercAdminTool/issues
 
I want XYZ feature! Can you make it?
Maybe. Use the Gitbhub issue tracker to give me the suggestion and I'll see if I can/want to add it: https://github.com/jguy1987/HercAdminTool/issues
 
You lied! My panel completely destroyed my server!
Take backups. As mentioned above, you're using something that is constantly in development. If you encounter a bug, please report it. If you encounter an issue that leads to the destruction of data, this is a beta product, and I'm sorry, but I cannot and will not be held responsible.
 
What are the system and server requirements for running the HAT?!
 
The following system I run my testing on, let me know if you have similar results with a system with different packages or such:
* Linux, specifically Ubuntu 14.04. Windows or BSD at this moment is completely untested. I plan on hopefully testing this weekend.
* apache2, version 3.4.7
* php5, version 5.5.9
* php5-mcrypt needs to be installed and enabled. You can do such by adding to your php.ini: `extension=mcrypt.so`.
* php5-mysql extension. MySQL can be installed on a different machine if you so desire but you must have the php5 extension installed on the machine

FYI - Aegis is NOT an emulator. It is the OFFICIAL software. AFAIK there hasn't been a public leak of Aegis fully available to the public in a few years. You also need Windows and a Microsoft SQL server to run it. While rAthena/Herc run on 256MB of RAM or less being idle, Aegis usually consumes 2-3x that being idle.

Hello,
 
While we do not mind that rAthena developers, staff members and regular members register an account, post or send PM's on our forums, we do not take kindly to 'rAthena is better because x y and z' posts, or anything promoting rAthena as a superior emulator because of such and such. There is no such post on rAthena made by a Hercules staff member about Hercules and we intend to keep it that way, we would appreciate the same respect.
 
Those who do not follow this simple clause listed above will have their post(s) deleted and/or hidden from view. Repeat offenders will be suspended from our forum with no further warnings or post manipulation.
 
We do not appreciate, nor welcome drama here. While criticism is welcome in the form of 'why doesn't Hercules have such and such a feature', drama and belittling a project (hercules or not) will not be tolerated. This is a collaboration, not a drama infested 12 year old's contest.
 
Thank you.

1. Add athena-start to /etc/init.d. Rename as hercules. Adjust $PATH variable inside to point to the location of hercules. Ex: ~/home/user/hercules or /var/hercules
2. # chkconfig -add hercules
3. Reboot
4. ???
5. Profit. You can now use service hercules start provided your user account has the ability to start the service (it should). You shouldn't have to or just plain shouldn't sudo this command, as effectively that makes your server start as root (very bad for you).

I see no reason now that we have this: http://herc.ws/board/topic/2954-item-db-file-structure-overhaul/
 
...to have it done on the mob_db's as well. Makes it easier to read, limits the amount of commas, etc. Basically the same reasons why we did it to the item_db. Thoughts? Flames? Opinions?

Sorry for the delay. My job has had me overworked for about a month or so now, I should be free'd up after tomorrow and can get back to the Academy scripts.
 
They are almost finished, a small portion of untranslated text remains (the last part of each job quest), then I just have to convert to AS (Athena Script) and QA it.
 
The updates I rolled out were pre-reqs for the academy as they have some interesting script commands. The quest log / bubbles will need to be overhauled 1 last time before I roll out the scripts, so expect that as well.
 
After academy the goal is to knock out the to-do lists we have on our issues section on github.

Hello,
 
Today I installed some updates that required a restart of apache and mysql. While I was in there I optimized the tables and gave the forum a nice new feel to its backend. This required a downtime of approximately 15-20 seconds while everything got started back up. Everything should be back up and running properly (and hopefully slightly faster) as of this post.
 
I also took the opportunity to update OpenSSL to protect against the heartbleed bug that recently surfaced. While Hercules does not use any SSL for any of our sites/services hosted on herc.ws (there's really no need at this particular point in time), its best to get it done now.
 
Thanks all and I apologize for any inconveniences this caused (usually I would announce it but didn't feel the 15 second downtime would have a huge impact). Next time if there are major maintenances going on we'll be sure to announce before hand.
