So I am having trouble navigating the guides for creating a custom item on the wikias. They seem to not be straight forward, as in They'll be explaining something... then they'll explain ANOTHER way to do it, which just creates a bunch of confusion. Does anyone know a guide that just straights up goes from step to step finish? (Updated) I'm on Renewal as well. http://forum.ratemyserver.net/guides/(guide)-how-to-create-custom-item-patches-(-grf)/ This guide's picture doesn't work, and I don't have a grf file by the looks of it. http://herc.ws/wiki/Custom_Items Gaps of knowledge, and the order is quite confusing. I mean let's say I was using pre-defined official game sprites. Do I actually have to go through allocating items on the client side? Also what in the world could Xray be, I searched it but it has to do with clients and I am pretty clueless with those lol. Thanks to anyone who can point me in a clearer direction

Ok so I'll check to see if the /commands do work again, although fairly positive they don't , since they were the reasons I enabled @str without actually knowing what it did lol. For the 4 slots, I was going to continue to do them manually but I just took some time to analyze the regular expressions used. ([0-9]*),(0[xX][0-9a-fA-F]+) (Put this in find) 4,2 (in-replace) I'm doing it one by one to see if it is PROPER and perfect but it is definitely much faster.

Ok, so I know everything about the atcommands, but am not sure how to implement the / ones. Everything I've searched usually has Atcommands as a reference. To be direct, I want players to use the /str command and so on. I'm not sure if it's just as simple as /str: true or a special function each unique server has. My second question has to do with 4 slotting equipment. I've spent the last hour manually doing EACH ITEM one by one. Yes I know, I go to item_db and change the 11th spot for equipment to 4. Doing that one by one is killer. http://herc.ws/board/topic/1101-4slotted-weapon2slotted-shield/ I tried his way but that creates errors in the item database because the expression he uses isn't exact enough and therefore changes THINGS that should not be changed, nor do I know how he came up with those expressions to search. (No experience). I mainly just want to know if there's an easy way to the second question.

I thought it would be the holy grail of answers but sadly not . However, it is a step in the right direction I think. Here are tow screenshots of what happened. (Still rejected from my server). http://i.imgur.com/USOCOsA.png http://i.imgur.com/U4V14KZ.jpg Could you tell me what to exactly put when making a new account, that may be the key here. Maybe it is how I build and clean my solutions, I simply just open up hercules-12 and highlight the 4 servs and then rebuild them. "rebuild." is there some proper way to do it? EDIT: WAIT I've gotten one account to work out. Need to figure out exactly what I did during the creation that makes it work. Alright, so I had to set and make sure the IDs of the account were a working number, made sure to change their sexs and done. Thank you very much Sevenzz, I can actually stop looking for something else to do haha!

Yeah, I figured using different ids would eventually mess up and confuse me, and it all did on the first run through. So I remedied the situation by changign every password and ID to the exact same thing letter for letter. I will check if they are all exactly the same again. I don;t believe there is anything wrong with my files, I just did a rotation with Judas's small client packet and switched everything up but got rejected once again. EDIT: Yeah, I've done everything is perfect as can be. Since this is Hercules I assume I don't have to care about this packet_db thing. (If I do I have no idea where said file exist). It looks like this problem just can;t be solved. All it says is fail to authenticate, and POINTS TO NO ERROR WHATSOEVER. =_= hate life. This is a screenshot of the problem http://i.imgur.com/b0Awz2L.png

Yes I had to use this guide to set up the client-side of the server. I would not be even getting a rejected from the server error if I had not followed one of the only available guides to a client side server. Can anyone help me at the moment? It seems to be the biggest brick wall, because there is no hint to what the problem could be, (errors isn't pointing to what the issue is.) I've made the Hercules SVN through Patskie's Guide, set up the client side using the link in this quote, and have done almost everything I can think or am available to search for that would even consider this problem. Is there really no answer?

What do you need a screenshot of exactly? On the other hand, I have the correct version for my clien tin my mmo.h file, ( I rebuild everytime.) I have used three different clients with different dates to see. I have commented out the packetverre, that you hinted out in the other topic. I am still just being rejected. Do I need to portforward, to connect to my own server? http://i.imgur.com/wsn2I3x.png This is a screenshot of Hercules SVN (It's awfully late, been trying to get through this error for hours now. Will be back in 10 hours or so.)

Guys I am having a problem being rejected from my server. I have done everything advised in this topic, http://herc.ws/board/topic/2164-how-to-connect-to-my-own-ro-server-super-old-newbie/ That is the only topic I can find pertaining to my problem with Hercules. The CMD will say, authentication of account 1 refused.

Alright, just woke up haha. I still find myself all over different guides. My biggest question righ tnow is what exactly Patskie's guide accomplish? As far as I know he sets up the Hercules SVN, but then I'm not entirely sure whats the next step. ( I can guess and wing it but I'd love to be sure ) EDIT: Running into an issue with MySQL workbench. It simply will not work and crashes on start up. Pinpointed the issue to forcing the program to run with my computer's integrated graphics card, apparently it has an issue with nvdia (drivers are as updated as I can get). EDIT (Done with Patskie's Guide): Assuming I did everything right, and that I have set all the right numbers, I hope the second part will work out. The help I have found on these forums have been top-notch and lovely!

Yeah still in the process of installing and getting my files to update, Is Wamp a viable alternative to XAMP?

I've been doing more searches of course. I did eventually come to the realization that Hercules was only a small but extremely vital part of this.. I'm in the process of using Patskie's guide but I am ahead of myself since I actually don't have a Clean KRO installation as of yet. I don't plan on doing any shortcuts as of now, because if run into a problem I want to be positive that I am the cause of it and that i can learn from it of course. The biggest problem is that I'm reading multiple topics, and I'm not totally sure if they have to do with the same idea or if their just another step in the process. As far as I know I'm Getting Hercules > Getting all the files I need to even begin > Patskie's > I dunno.

I am dead-set on picking up this hobby and have chosen Hercules (Because everything about it sounds great)! I want to make my own offline Ragnarok Private server for myself, and maybe online if I want a few friends to join me. I've looked up several guides but most of them don't use Hercules, and I really don't have a single idea on how to incorporate it. The main problem is, so far I am only certain that I know how to get Hercules onto my windows computer . But is Hercules all I need? Is there a COMPLETE list of every file I need to get started? Is there a guide using Hercules to set up a server? I have searched and so far, It seems there are little gaps ranging from (what files do I need and what files they could be referring too.) EDIT: This is an update to the problem I am currently facing. I am running on a Ultrabook Laptop, Windows 7 64 bit. http://i.imgur.com/b0Awz2L.png (Screenshot of the issue) Whenever I try to get to the character server my account is refused. Any viable solutions? Please do not post solutions that have to do with simple checks, if you read the rest of the topic, I have done it several times.
