Features

Core [*]Support for .spr, .act, .pal, .grf, ... [*].act file completed support (transparency, scale, color, rotate, ...) [*]Characters fully implemented ( body, head, hats, weapon, shield, robe, mount) with palettes support. [*]Can modify action, animation and direction. [*]Class to generate : Full Character / Character Head only / Monster-NPC-Homunculus / Avatar / Signature. [*]Cache system available (and can be set off) with configurable time to cache. [*]Emblem Loader available.
Client
[*]Data.ini file support (to list your GRFs) [*]Support GRF (0x200 version only without DES encryption - repack before uploading) - the data folder is always read first. [*]Auto-Extract files from GRF if needed (optimize performance) [*]Updater script available to convert some lua files to PHP.





How to use

Really url-friendly:
myserver.com/chargen/<controller>/<data> // with url-rewritingmyserver.com/chargen/index.php/<controller>/<data> // without url-rewriting Example for my character called "KeyWorld":myserver.com/chargen/avatar/KeyWorld // avatarmyserver.com/chargen/signature/KeyWorld // signaturemyserver.com/chargen/character/KeyWorld // full Charactermyserver.com/chargen/characterhead/KeyWorld // Character's head  

You can change the default link by modify the array $routes in the index.php file:// $routes['url'] = controller$routes['/avatar/(.*)'] = 'Avatar';$routes['/character/(.*)'] = 'Character';$routes['/characterhead/(.*)'] = 'CharacterHead';$routes['/monster/(d+)'] = 'Monster';$routes['/signature/(.*)'] = 'Signature'; 




Custom display

At least, the tool is really easy to use, here an example on how to display a static character:
 
$chargen = new CharacterRender(); $chargen->action = CharacterRender::ACTION_READYFIGHT; $chargen->direction = CharacterRender::DIRECTION_SOUTHEAST; $chargen->body_animation = 0; $chargen->doridori = 0; // Custom data: $chargen->sex    = "M"; $chargen->class = 4002; $chargen->clothes_color = 0; $chargen->hair = 5; $chargen->hair_color = 12; // ... head_top, head_mid, head_bottom, robe, weapon, shield, ... // Generate Image $img = $chargen->render(); imagepng($img);

Instead of selling it, I give a try to "Open Source project with Donation".
So if you think, you would have buy it if i was selling it, think to give a donation ?




 


Notes [*]A directory "client" is in the project, it will be a good idea to move it to a directory not accessible by the user (for example /home/client/). [*]If you use generate images from GRFs you have to know it's a little slower, i recommend you in this case to allow the "AutoExtract" option to gain performance. [*]GRFs have to be save as 0x200 version without any encryption (even the official DES), good idea is to remove unused folders ( textures, wav, models).. [*]If you use the options Cache and AutoExtract, don't forget the script need to have a write access to the client and cache folder. [*]Thanks to Khazou for the acces to his server to fully testing the tool

N.E.M.O. - Neo Exe Modification Organizer

Why another client patcher? well
1) WeeDiffGen - isn't working for 2013 clients + it depends on dlls (not that its a bad thing but i like scripting )
2) xDiffGen - yes its scripted but we need to depend on xdiff files.

so i made a new one based on xDiffGen and here it is. The patches are written in QtScript format.
Details of making a patch have already been written in a seperate topic - although now it needs to be updated with more details.
I have already converted most of the patches from xDiffGen.

Why this name? - well I didn't want it to be called * Gen No offense  
plus someone keeps calling me Nemo in IRC which gave me the idea

Snapshot
-----------------


How to use?
---------------------
1) First you need to specify your client file in Input Exe file box. If you browse to select the file name, Output Patched box gets updated with a _patched suffix filename automatically. Ofcourse you can select your own name for the output.
 
2) Next we need to load both the client and the scripts (patches & addons). so click Load Client button.
 
3) Select the patches you want . In case you patched once before (for whatever date) they will be saved in your local and you can use the Select Previous button to select them again. Also you can try using the Select Rcomnded button to select all the Recommended patches.
 
4) So your patches are selected and client is loaded what next but to Apply Patches  which will generate the output file. In 2.0 version , NEMO also generates a .secure.txt file containing the MD5, SHA1 and CRC32 values of the output exe file which you can use in various tools.
 
5) You can use the Save Profile and  Load Profile buttons for saving/reloading a set of patches & input values, that you have selected (even if they are not applied) for future use.
 
6) Whenever you apply patches to a client, NEMO updates the patchlist.log file (along with Inputlist.db) in the folder where NEMO.exe is. This file will contain the list of patches you have applied along with their IDs (do not tamper with either of them).
 
Changes in 2.0:
----------------------
1) I have made some obvious modifications to the interface (you can definitely see the change in case you have seen v1.0).
     i) Buttons have come downwards and is no longer strippable (toolbar has been fixed in position)
 
     ii) New status Label has been added which shows your currently loaded client date and how many patches are selected.
 
     iii) NEMO now has support for Addons - scripts that are meant to retrieve data from the client and do its own thing (not patch the client).
          All the Extract xDiff patches has been added here already. 1 extra addon will be coming soon once i can fix it.
 
     iv) New Filter box has been added which does live search (i.e. filter as you type) for filtering out only the patches u want to see.
           For e.g. if you type color, it will only show patches that have the string color in either it's name or the description.
          You can also use regular expression . Also you can sort the columns now
 
    v) An upcoming feature - Test Patches. this one you can use for testing a newly added patch for a variety of clients that you select.
 
2) NEMO is no longer there in SVN. I have shifted it to GitHub . The rar file uploaded has the .git file so you should be able to directly pull to get updates. But just in case I have also provided the repository link below.
 
Remember to pull for updates before using NEMO and let me know if you are facing any bugs or issues or if i have missed out on anything. Enjoy .

File Name: Advanced GRF Tool Suite
File Submitter: rosfus
File Submitted: 14 Jan 2014
File Category: Client Resources

Introduction
RO client GRF file although with high compression ratio compression feature, but not a perfect key protection mechanisms that currently most of the characteristics of SF headdress and articles are free to copy the data , resulting in almost every Ragnarok Private Server client configuration are the same . Therefore, in order to protect the fruits of hard work Ragnarok Private Server workers, Advanced GRF system came into being.

The version of the file system on the basis of GRF2.0 original structure, embedded advanced symmetric key encryption algorithm, the file is no longer open GRF GRF just unpacked using a program can unlock, but need only produce who did not know a key to open GRF file.

Advanced GRF Tool Suite package contains four programs:
[*] Advanced GRF Tool (Advanced GRF production tools , and support for the production and unpack files RGZ), [*]Advanced GRF automatic updater (kRO imitate official updater production, shouldering Advanced GRF file automatic update task ), [*]Advanced GRF offline updater , Advanced GRF automatically updated Configurator (can easily customize Advanced GRF updater for each parameter), [*]Advanced GRF client DLL (and with it, the client ordinary supports Advanced GRF files).

This program is release in 2007. Very popular in China. Supports all Ragnarok Online versions prior 2013.12.23. Sometimes antivirus software will prompt DLL has a virus, but I guarantee that it is safe.

Offline
Updater directory format: The updater, configuration files , zlib.dll, 3个bmp files , gpf rgz update files , update the list of files can beplaced in the same directory.

Cps.dll: AGrfKey


Advanced GRF client DLL

Just copy the DLL client to the client directory, overwriting the original cps.dll file.


Automatically update the file,RGZ and GPF File Production

RGZ
Update files are typically asked that the x.exe x.lub or other files, not in the directory "data" .

GPF
All files contained in the directory "data"

AGRFTool
RGZ Production


Will need to send files to the client , the client's directory structure into an empty folder, for example: F:AutomaticUpdatesRGZ
Select AGRTool in RGZ button to [Open] the production program interface. Example by just doing a directory to select resources and output directories . Well -defined file name.
After the completion point of all [Zip] button.


GPF Production
Will need to send to the client data.grf files , according to data directory structure into an empty folder, for example: F:AutomaticUpdatesGPFdata, please remember gpf document root directory is defined data, rather than ro root.
On AGRTool click [Create] button to create an empty gpf file and define the file name and then click the [ADD] button to select the directory for storing files earlier . Below , please note that the program's title is Create a file name and path.


Special features encryption
If you need to encrypt data files, please click [Key] button in the program interface checked Security Mode, and enter the password .


Special features compression
There are four levels of compression can be selected, in general we have chosen is Default, but my personal preference is the Best Compression ie the best compression ratio.


Repack
After completing all the above steps, click [Repack] button to complete the update files produced.

2013-12-23c Client Support
Thanks to Yommy and Rytech! NPC Market Support A new type of NPC Shop where item availability is limited, for example you can have a vender start with 50x Red Potions and set mechanics for the red potions to be refurbished (for example could be as simple as a OnClock, where Red Potions are refurbished every y hour, or elaborate e.g. be connected with a game quest where players need to help a merchant npc get to the shop in order for it to be resupplied) Available as a NPC Trader subset (details will follow) @costume Oktoberfest NPC Trader
A whole different way to set up shops, they're easier to read and flexible to customize. Previous format still supported (in the scenario we drop the previous we'll provide a conversion tool) To begin with, 'trader' is a phony name, its only purpose is to sign the parser that 'this npc will open the shop when clicked'. the trader npc is in fact a 'script' type (and thus script types can create/manipulate trader shops, and open them with the help of openshop()). Normal Zeny Shop moc_ruins,93,53,2    trader    Item Collector#moc1    4_M_03,{ OnInit:     sellitem Scell;     sellitem Monster's_Feed;     sellitem Animal's_Skin;     sellitem Bill_Of_Birds; } Custom Shop Script has full control over currency, which allows for scripts to use anything, from quests, to items, variables, etca. For Example: prontera,153,152,1    trader    TestCustom2    952,{ OnInit:     tradertype(NST_CUSTOM);     sellitem Red_Potion;     end;   /* allows currency to be Red_Potion */ OnCountFunds:     setcurrency(countitem(Red_Potion));     end;   /* receives @price (total cost) */ OnPayFunds:     if( countitem(Red_Potion) < @price )         end;     delitem Red_Potion,@price;     purchaseok();     end; } NPC Market ShopThis is the type I mentioned earlier, where item availability is limited prontera,150,160,6    trader    HaiMarket    952,{ OnInit:     tradertype(NST_MARKET);     sellitem Red_Potion,-1,50;     end;   OnClock0000://resupplies red potions on midnight OnMyResupply://instead of midnight, a event could trigger HaiMarket::OnMyResupply     if( shopcount(Red_Potion) < 50 )         sellitem Red_Potion,-1,50;     end; }The quantity data is disaster-safe, I mean it is persistent to @reloadscript and server restarts (If there were 39 Red Potions on sale upon restart/reloadscript, it continues to be 39 instead of resetting back to 50). 7 script commands to help control (documentation for all of them is present in script_commands.txt): openshop,sellitem,stopselling,setcurrency,tradertype,purchaseok,shopcount Trader Design by

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
Yommy for providing me with a hell lot of data for the BG Queue, wouldn't have been able to get it to this point without his help. Rosiel for his suggestion on the instance feature Xgear for his help with the network timeout bug mkbu95 for pinpointing the script parser bug All of Hercules Staff for their ideas/suggestions/criticism and support, and for keeping me sane during this memory slashing madness The Future~! This patch sure has taken me away from my usual bug-squashing mode, I'll be going back to my over-10-bug-fix-a-day schedule. We have quite a hell lot planned so this might not last long, make sure to keep an eye on your bug reports for I sure will be replying to them. Link~u! Commit 1 Commit 2 Commit 3

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 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.

It is fully working with both pre-Renewal and Renewal Hercules servers. We will continue developing it, so it is always up-to-date and compatible with latest Hercules.
 
New theme
Hercules' Flux CP comes with a brand new theme. It's a grey-ish modern and clean HTML5 theme, called Emphaino.
It has a nice dropdown menu located on top of the screen, and a customizable footer area, where you can put some stuff that should be visible all the time (like links to social media, forums etc.).
 
A picture is worth a thousand words:



 
It's a HTML5 theme, so it requires a decent browser, or IE9+ (if you insist on using that).
 
Theme selection
Having two themes is great, but until now it was impossible to make use of them both. That's why theme selector has been added to both themes, so your users can pick whichever theme they like more.
