getting tired of people keep sending me personal message -> how do I apply your koe patch
after about 6 PMs or so I getting really fed up,
only then I realize there is no guide to properly teach members how to apply a diff file, so here I make one for you guys
First step
A lot of people download hercules in .zip format. This is WRONG.

instead, follow the proper guide and use tortoisegit (if you are using windows) to download your server
This is the proper guide on how to install hercules

 
Question: but I am using rathena, not hercules
Answer: just change the link into rathena ones
https://github.com/rathena/rathena/wiki/Install-on-Windows
 
 
Second step
after you get your proper server, the first thing you have to do is get rid of your current one
this is the painful process, because you did not follow the guide
but on the up side, you can always update your server every week just by Git pull
which already mentioned in that installation topic guide
Question: but every time I Git pull, it always ask to resolve conflicts
Answer: that's the reason hercules community stop providing patch file and transition towards plugin system
you should always keep your server up to date with the latest revision as we always add new features and bug fix
nobody on the board like to give support on old emulator
Question: but rathena doesn't have plugin system
Answer: yes rathena doesn't support right now, but will be soon in the near future. rathena already slowly transition towards C++ format
 
 
Third Step
now you have a .diff file, download the file somewhere, right click on it

then point the link towards your hercules installation folder
Apply Patch Serial... Review/apply single patch... if either option doesn't work, try the other
 
 
Disclaimer:
I am windows user, so I never use Linux or Centos whatever,
so this guide is purely meant for those keep bombard my PM box over and over

Make your (offline) RO server in more than 5 hours - pun intended
Hercules Link
This Guide is intended for
- Windows users
windows sux, but 90% of the community still using windows, so I am targeting the majority of the members here
- You want to contribute something back to the community
if you just want to have fun by yourself, of course it's fine to use that 5 minute instant noodle guide
BUT if you want to contribute to the community, you have to use LATEST server and software available
... which makes this guide outdated very fast
 
Prelude: Determine your Windows Operating System type
a. Windows Key -> Right Click on My Computer -> Select Properties
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/prelude-1.png

b. Determine your Operating System type
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit system
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/prelude-2.png
 
Step 1: Download and Install TortoiseGit

1a. Download TortoiseGit
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 1a.png
 
1b. Installation
next... next... next.. next... next.. next.. Install !!!
 
1c. Create 2 new folders
1 for Hercules, 1 for rAthena
Right-click -> TortoiseGit -> Clone
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 1c.png
 
1d. Download git 2.20.1
you'll get this warning message
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 1d.png
Open Git for Windows Website, Download it
next... next... next.. next... next.. next.. Install !!!
 
1e. Reposition git.exe
This time go to TortoiseGit -> Settings
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 1e.png
General tab -> Git.exe path
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 1e2.png
C:\Program Files\Git\bin  
1f. Download Hercules and rAthena
Right Click on the folder, TortoiseGit -> Clone
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 1f.png
https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules https://github.com/rathena/rathena  
Problems might encounter during Step 1c,
when it ask for a git.exe, you have to go to that git for windows site, and download that thing
Problems might encounter during Step 1e,
sometimes even though you have already install git2.20.1.exe, but it still couldn't find the git.exe file
to solve it, Right-click -> TortoiseGit -> Settings, you get a warning, Click Ignore, then follow Step 1e
 
Step 2: Download and Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2017
Step 2a. Download Microsoft Visual Studio
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2a.png
 
Step 2b. Downloading ...
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2b.png
 
Step 2c. Click Install Visual Studio Community 2017
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2c.png
 
Step 2d. Load Hercules Project
Double click Hercules-15.sln
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2d.png
it says missing Windows 10 SDK 10.0.15063 ...
 
Step 2e. Install individual component
you can either let Visual Studio do its magic, or ...
manually go to visual studio downloader ... click modify
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2e.png
then select the component to install manually
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2e2.png
 
Step 2f. Load rAthena Project
Do the same thing by double clicking rAthena.sln,
but this time rAthena project needs Windows 8.1 SDK and Windows Universal CRT SDK
 
Both emulator has been compiled
 
Problems might encounter during Step 2c
if using Windows 7/8, after the download is complete, it install a windows update that might crash all the programs in your operating system
this Parasite MUST be remove !!
To do this, go to Control Panel -> Program and Features
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2g.png
Click View Install Update tab
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2g1.png
then find KB2882822 and remove this parasite from your computer immediately before restarting your computer
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2g2.png
IF you are the unlucky soul and you can't start any .exe file .... there's still a fix
Restart the computer in Safe Mode ...
many answer around the Internet tells you to press F8 when Windows Logo shows up, but this doesn't work for me, I have USB keyboard
so I found another method ... run System Configuration
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2h.png
Select the [Boot] tab, then select Safe Mode.
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2h2.png
this will make your windows always restart in safe mode until you turn it off
then follow the above process, uninstall that windows update, deselect safe mode, restart computer again, now it should be back to normal
 
Problems might encounter during Step 2f
During compiling, if you see this in your Visual Studio
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'corecrt.h': No such file or directory this means you are missing a component Windows Universal CRT SDK
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2f.png
 
Step 3: Download and Install MySQL 8.0
Step 3a: Download MySQL 8.0
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3a.png
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3a2.png
actually, you can just click this -> https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file/?id=480824
I have 64-bit operating system, but this 32-bit installer works fine for me
 
Step 3b. Install MySQL 8.0
Select Custom
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3b1.png
We only need 2 products, MySQL 8.0 and MySQL Workbench
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3b2.png
Ready to Install
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3b3.png
next... next.. Execute !! next.. next.. next..
Account and Roles, type "1234" as password
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3b4.png
click [Check]... next... next.. next... DONE !!
 
Step 3c. Run MySQL Workbench
Welcome to MySQL Workbench
Double click the icon -> Click Connect
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3c.png
 
Step 3d. Create a Schema
Right click at the left side of the window
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3d.png
and create a Database call Hercules. Remember change charset/collation to utf8
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3d2.png
 
Step 3e. Install SQL Script for Hercules
Set Hercules as default Schema
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3e.png
load hercules/sql-files/main.sql file
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3e2.png
copy into Query field, then Press Execute button
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3e3.png
repeat the same process again for log.sql file
 
Step 3f. Install SQL Script for rAthena
Set rAthena as default Schema
install rAthena/sql-files/main.sql and the log.sql
 
Problems might encounter during Step 3e.
If you got a warning message that `ipbanlist` table creation failed, this has been reported -> hercules & rAthena
that's why now we can only use utf8 charset
 
Step 4: Connect MySQL to Hercules and rAthena
Step 4a. Connect Hercules to MySQL
Copy paste the import-tmpl folder, and rename it into import
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 4a.png
then open each individual files and modify each one of them
conf/import/char_server.conf
char_configuration: { // Server name, use alternative character such as ASCII 160 for spaces. // NOTE: Do not use spaces or any of these characters which are not allowed in // Windows filenames \/:*?"<>| // ... or else guild emblems won't work client-side! server_name: "Hercules" // Information related to inter-server behavior inter: { // Server Communication username and password. userid: "qwer" passwd: "asdf" // Login Server IP // The character server connects to the login server using this IP address. // NOTE: This is useful when you are running behind a firewall or are on // a machine with multiple interfaces. login_ip: "127.0.0.1" // Character Server IP // The IP address which clients will use to connect. // Set this to what your server's public IP address is. char_ip: "127.0.0.1" } pincode: { enabled: false } } conf/import/map-server.conf
map_configuration: { // Information related to inter-server behavior inter: { // Interserver communication passwords, set in the login server database userid: "qwer" passwd: "asdf" // Map Server IP // The IP address which clients will use to connect. // Set this to what your server's public IP address is. map_ip: "127.0.0.1" // Character Server IP // The map server connects to the character server using this IP address. // NOTE: This is useful when you are running behind a firewall or are on // a machine with multiple interfaces. char_ip: "127.0.0.1" } } conf/global/sql_connections.conf
sql_connection: { // [INTER] You can specify the codepage to use in your mySQL tables here. // (Note that this feature requires MySQL 4.1+) //default_codepage: "" // [LOGIN] Is `userid` in account_db case sensitive? //case_sensitive: false // For IPs, ideally under linux, you want to use localhost instead of 127.0.0.1. // Under windows, you want to use 127.0.0.1. If you see a message like // "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)" // and you have localhost, switch it to 127.0.0.1 db_hostname: "127.0.0.1" db_port: 3306 db_username: "root" db_password: "1234" db_database: "hercules" //codepage:"" }  
Step 4b. Change s1/p1 inter server connection password
since hercules server hates you for using s1/p1, I change it into qwer/asdf then
Here's how to do it ... Open MySQL Workbench, double click your current running MySQL connection
Type "SELECT * FROM `login`;" , edit the field s1/p1, then click [Apply]
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 4b2.png
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 4b3.png
 
Step 4c. connect rAthena to MySQL
Copy paste the import-tmpl folder, and rename it into import
then open each individual files and modify each one of them
conf/import/char-conf.txt
// Server name, use alternative character such as ASCII 160 for spaces. // NOTE: Do not use spaces or any of these characters which are not allowed in // Windows filenames \/:*?"<>| // ... or else guild emblems won't work client-side! server_name: rAthena // Login Server IP // The character server connects to the login server using this IP address. // NOTE: This is useful when you are running behind a firewall or are on // a machine with multiple interfaces. login_ip: 127.0.0.1 // The character server listens on the interface with this IP address. // NOTE: This allows you to run multiple servers on multiple interfaces // while using the same ports for each server. bind_ip: 127.0.0.1 // Character Server IP // The IP address which clients will use to connect. // Set this to what your server's public IP address is. char_ip: 127.0.0.1 // NOTE: Requires client 2011-03-09aragexeRE or newer. // A window is opened before you can select your character and you will have to enter a pincode by using only your mouse. // Default: yes pincode_enabled: no conf/import/inter-conf.txt
// MySQL Login server login_server_ip: 127.0.0.1 login_server_port: 3306 login_server_id: root login_server_pw: 1234 login_server_db: rathena login_codepage: login_case_sensitive: no ipban_db_ip: 127.0.0.1 ipban_db_port: 3306 ipban_db_id: root ipban_db_pw: 1234 ipban_db_db: rathena ipban_codepage: // MySQL Character server char_server_ip: 127.0.0.1 char_server_port: 3306 char_server_id: root char_server_pw: 1234 char_server_db: rathena // MySQL Map Server map_server_ip: 127.0.0.1 map_server_port: 3306 map_server_id: root map_server_pw: 1234 map_server_db: rathena // MySQL Log Database log_db_ip: 127.0.0.1 log_db_port: 3306 log_db_id: root log_db_pw: 1234 log_db_db: rathena log_codepage: log_login_db: loginlog conf/import/login_conf.txt
// The login server listens on the interface with this IP address. // NOTE: This allows you to run multiple servers on multiple interfaces // while using the same ports for each server. bind_ip: 127.0.0.1 conf/import/map_conf.txt
// Character Server IP // The map server connects to the character server using this IP address. // NOTE: This is useful when you are running behind a firewall or are on // a machine with multiple interfaces. char_ip: 127.0.0.1 // The map server listens on the interface with this IP address. // NOTE: This allows you to run multiple servers on multiple interfaces // while using the same ports for each server. bind_ip: 127.0.0.1 // Map Server IP // The IP address which clients will use to connect. // Set this to what your server's public IP address is. map_ip: 127.0.0.1  
Note: you can do the same for rAthena, change s1/p1 into qwer/asdf. rAthena doesn't *BEEP* when you use s1/p1 though
simply add this line in both conf/import/char-conf.txt and conf/import/map_conf.txt then change it in MySQL Workbench
// Server Communication username and password. userid: s1 passwd: p1

Before going into next step, I want to stress enough and make sure you can get your server to connect to MySQL
so try running run-server.bat to connect your hercules --OR-- rathena server to MySQL
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 4.5.png
if you can't do it right, Open a New Topic in General Server Support
 
 
problem might encounter during this step
[SQL]: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client This happens if you have previous version of MySQL installed on your computer, and upgrade into MySQL 8.0
to fix this issue, run MySQL command line Client from start menu
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 4.5a.png
then run these 2 commands seperately
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '1234'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 4.5b.png
 
5. Download latest KRO Client and client translation files
Step 5a. Download latest KRO from
http://herc.ws/board/topic/15592-collection-official-full-clients-latest-kro/
https://rathena.org/board/topic/106413-kro-full-client-2018-08-13-includes-bgm-rsu/ <-- I pick this
 
// ========== THIS PART IS CONTROVERSIAL ===== BUT IT WORKS FOR ME ========
Step 5b. Create another 2 folders
let's name it Asheraf and zackdreaver ... the author of making client translation
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 5b.png
then download their translation files by git clone them
https://github.com/Asheraf/Translation https://github.com/zackdreaver/ROenglishRE  
Step 5c. Download GRF Editor
http://www.mediafire.com/file/aflylbhblrzpz0h/GRF+Editor+v1.8.2.7.zip <-- author forgot to update in that topic, mediafire link is latest one
 
Step 5d. Compile GRF Editor
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 5d.png
double click GRFEditor.sln
 
Step 5e. Open GRF Editor file
Navigate to the directory  \GRF Editor Sources v1.8.2.7\GRF Editor\GRFEditor\bin\Release and open GRF Editor.exe
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 5e.png
I also wondering why the author makes the execution files hide so deep inside
 
Step 5f. Drag the data folder from Asheraf client translation to new.grf
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 5f.png
then save it as Asheraf.grf
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 5f2.png
 
Step 5g. Repeat the process for zackdreaver translation
Close Grf. New -> Grf, Drag the data folder from zackdreaver/Ragnarok/data to new.grf, then save it as zackdreaver.grf
 
Now you have learn how to pack your own grf. You should have 2 new grf in client folder
 
Step 5h. open data.ini in your ragnarok client and edit DATA.INI
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 5h.png
[Data] 1=Asheraf.grf 2=zackdreaver.grf 3=rdata.grf 4=data.grf  
Step 5i. Replace Asheraf/system folder into client/system folder
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 5i.png
 
// ========== CONTROVERSIAL PART ENDS HERE ===== I'm sure many client experts having your doubts why I do like this ========
 
A lot of problems can appear in this step, these problems also recent and changes with every client
 
6. Create your own patch client
Step 6a. Download latest nemo
create another folder name nemo
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6a.png
then git clone from this site
https://gitlab.com/4144/Nemo  
Step 6b. Find a suitable client patches
http://nemo.herc.ws/downloads/
Since I download KRO 20180813, I chose 2018-06-20eRagexeRe
 
Step 6c. Open nemo.exe
Click Browse to select your downloaded client patch, then select Load Client
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6c.png
 
Step 6d. Use Recommend Settings
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6d.png
1. forget the "Always call SelectKoreaClientInfo" error
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6d1.png
2. DATA.INI
3. system/itemInfo_Sak.lub <--- note: the Capital letter of Info_Sak ... nemo doesn't auto-detect capital letters
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6d3.png
4. Always Load Korea ExternalSetting lua files
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6d4.png
5. Read Data Folder first
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6d5.png
6. Apply Selected
Step 6e. Copy 2018-06-20eRagexeRE_patched.exe to the KRO client folder
 
 
By this step, you should be able to load your own hexed client without throwing any error
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6.5.png
if you having problem in this Step 5 & 6, Open a New Topic in Client Support
 
FINAL STEP - change PACKEVER
#define PACKETVER 20180620  
Hercules -> src\common\mmo.h
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 7a.png
 
rAthena ->
src\config\packets.hpp <--- original directory, don't edit here
src\custom\defines_pre.hpp
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 7b.png
 
Then Compile for a Final time
 
 
After thought, there are still some minor annoyance and adjustment
client/data/msgstringtable.txt (unpack it or just put at client/data/ folder)
line 3262 Smooth# line 3458 There was an error when loading the data account settings. (Please restart to retry.)# change them into just a #
 
Frequently Asked Question:
Change Renewal into Pre-Renewal
Hercules -> src/config/renewal.h
rAthena -> src/config/renewal.hpp
 
This guide will be feature and pin only for a few months ... while it last .... I guess

getting tired of people keep sending me personal message -> how do I apply your koe patch
after about 6 PMs or so I getting really fed up,
only then I realize there is no guide to properly teach members how to apply a diff file, so here I make one for you guys
First step
A lot of people download hercules in .zip format. This is WRONG.

instead, follow the proper guide and use tortoisegit (if you are using windows) to download your server
This is the proper guide on how to install hercules

 
Question: but I am using rathena, not hercules
Answer: just change the link into rathena ones
https://github.com/rathena/rathena/wiki/Install-on-Windows
 
 
Second step
after you get your proper server, the first thing you have to do is get rid of your current one
this is the painful process, because you did not follow the guide
but on the up side, you can always update your server every week just by Git pull
which already mentioned in that installation topic guide
Question: but every time I Git pull, it always ask to resolve conflicts
Answer: that's the reason hercules community stop providing patch file and transition towards plugin system
you should always keep your server up to date with the latest revision as we always add new features and bug fix
nobody on the board like to give support on old emulator
Question: but rathena doesn't have plugin system
Answer: yes rathena doesn't support right now, but will be soon in the near future. rathena already slowly transition towards C++ format
 
 
Third Step
now you have a .diff file, download the file somewhere, right click on it

then point the link towards your hercules installation folder
Apply Patch Serial... Review/apply single patch... if either option doesn't work, try the other
 
 
Disclaimer:
I am windows user, so I never use Linux or Centos whatever,
so this guide is purely meant for those keep bombard my PM box over and over

ok, let's analyze the packet
 
clif_party_member_info
/// Adds new member to a party.
/// 0104 <account id>.L <role>.L <x>.W <y>.W <state>.B <party name>.24B <char name>.24B <map name>.16B (ZC_ADD_MEMBER_TO_GROUP)
23 characters for name, 23 characters for map name
hmm ... if we replace the map name with buff ... hehe ... sounds fun
 
clif_party_info
/// Sends party information (ZC_GROUP_LIST).
/// 00fb <packet len>.W <party name>.24B { <account id>.L <nick>.24B <map name>.16B <role>.B <state>.B }*
/// role:
/// 0 = leader
/// 1 = normal
/// state:
/// 0 = connected
/// 1 = disconnected
 
clif_party_xy
/// Updates the position of a party member on the minimap (ZC_NOTIFY_POSITION_TO_GROUPM).
/// 0107 <account id>.L <x>.W <y>.W
 
clif_party_hp
/// Updates HP bar of a party member.
/// 0106 <account id>.L <hp>.W <max hp>.W (ZC_NOTIFY_HP_TO_GROUPM)
 
 
so ... there is no packet to update the party member's status in Alt+Z bar
 
 
clif_parse_LeaveParty
/// Request to leave party (CZ_REQ_LEAVE_GROUP).
 
clif_parse_RemovePartyMember
/// Request to expel a party member (CZ_REQ_EXPEL_GROUP_MEMBER).
 
 
the one trick that I can think off, is sending a packet to leave player's party and invite back with a fake name
but I wonder doing this will have message on the chat log ?
... hmm ... ask a client translation team, maybe they know where is the english file at

Related commit : https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/pull/842
if you have event scripts that uses *pcblockmove, its time to convert into *setpcblock
 
Example : (old)
pcblockmove(getcharid(CHAR_ID_ACCOUNT), true); now should be
setpcblock(PCBLOCK_MOVE, true);  
the new one is more flexible and can limit other actions too

usually people do this simply with
if ( getmonsterinfo( killedrid, MOB_MVPEXP ) ) { but since you have 3 different modes, you also have to list out which MVP is easy/moderate/hard
a quick sql query to list out MVP in your server
select * from mob_db where mexp > 0; note its different in renewal and pre-renewal
Renewal -> http://herc.ws/board/topic/16631-npc-mvp-invasion/?do=findComment&comment=90910
Pre-renewal -> https://github.com/rathena/rathena/blob/master/npc/custom/events/mvp_ladder.txt#L232-L270
 
 
this one needs achievement system ... its already in my top-priority todo list
once its out, I can also add *settitleid script command and so on ...
 
 
and before you forget, the OnNPCKillEvent cannot run on monsters with event labels
http://herc.ws/board/topic/15991-onnpckillevent-changes/
so it couldn't add the kills like bio-lab MVPs , instance MVPs and so on
that pull request got stuck ...
 
oh PS: pajodex is currently busy in real life, or so I heard

wait wait, I was asking question back before attempting to write out this script,
and I still haven't made title system script commands plugin yet ...
I don't understand why you mark that as answer while I was actually asking for more information ...
 
rephrase again
1. you have to list out which MVP are easy/normal/hard,
easy - MVPID 1 , MVPID 2 ...
normal - MVPID 1 , MVPID 2 ...
...
2. wait until I make title system script commands plugin .... going to write now
3. rewards give out by weekly or monthly are entire different formula ... you can only pick one ...
4. MVP points will trigger on MVP maps only  <-- means only trigger like .... inside MVP room only ?

actually I want to drop this script
just ... I have no idea it can become so popular ...
 
that "replace into" was slower than "update" statement, I learned that only after 3 years completed this script
I was using 'replace into' just because I wanted to squeeze that accessing 12 times query_sql into just 4 times
and ultramage also proposed to make the table make a huge 'update' every 1 minute to safe further memory
 
however if changing 'replace into' into 'update' might need to update the whole script
and I have no motivation to improve this script, I rather focus on battleground scripts

some people are using the one inside bug tracker ... no ...
that is actually just a sample script
and this is the one that is fully capable of using in live server

Make your (offline) RO server in more than 5 hours - pun intended
Hercules Link
This Guide is intended for
- Windows users
windows sux, but 90% of the community still using windows, so I am targeting the majority of the members here
- You want to contribute something back to the community
if you just want to have fun by yourself, of course it's fine to use that 5 minute instant noodle guide
BUT if you want to contribute to the community, you have to use LATEST server and software available
... which makes this guide outdated very fast
 
Prelude: Determine your Windows Operating System type
a. Windows Key -> Right Click on My Computer -> Select Properties
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/prelude-1.png

b. Determine your Operating System type
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit system
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/prelude-2.png
 
Step 1: Download and Install TortoiseGit

1a. Download TortoiseGit
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 1a.png
 
1b. Installation
next... next... next.. next... next.. next.. Install !!!
 
1c. Create 2 new folders
1 for Hercules, 1 for rAthena
Right-click -> TortoiseGit -> Clone
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 1c.png
 
1d. Download git 2.20.1
you'll get this warning message
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 1d.png
Open Git for Windows Website, Download it
next... next... next.. next... next.. next.. Install !!!
 
1e. Reposition git.exe
This time go to TortoiseGit -> Settings
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 1e.png
General tab -> Git.exe path
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 1e2.png
C:\Program Files\Git\bin  
1f. Download Hercules and rAthena
Right Click on the folder, TortoiseGit -> Clone
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 1f.png
https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules https://github.com/rathena/rathena  
Problems might encounter during Step 1c,
when it ask for a git.exe, you have to go to that git for windows site, and download that thing
Problems might encounter during Step 1e,
sometimes even though you have already install git2.20.1.exe, but it still couldn't find the git.exe file
to solve it, Right-click -> TortoiseGit -> Settings, you get a warning, Click Ignore, then follow Step 1e
 
Step 2: Download and Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2017
Step 2a. Download Microsoft Visual Studio
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2a.png
 
Step 2b. Downloading ...
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2b.png
 
Step 2c. Click Install Visual Studio Community 2017
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2c.png
 
Step 2d. Load Hercules Project
Double click Hercules-15.sln
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2d.png
it says missing Windows 10 SDK 10.0.15063 ...
 
Step 2e. Install individual component
you can either let Visual Studio do its magic, or ...
manually go to visual studio downloader ... click modify
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2e.png
then select the component to install manually
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2e2.png
 
Step 2f. Load rAthena Project
Do the same thing by double clicking rAthena.sln,
but this time rAthena project needs Windows 8.1 SDK and Windows Universal CRT SDK
 
Both emulator has been compiled
 
Problems might encounter during Step 2c
if using Windows 7/8, after the download is complete, it install a windows update that might crash all the programs in your operating system
this Parasite MUST be remove !!
To do this, go to Control Panel -> Program and Features
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2g.png
Click View Install Update tab
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2g1.png
then find KB2882822 and remove this parasite from your computer immediately before restarting your computer
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2g2.png
IF you are the unlucky soul and you can't start any .exe file .... there's still a fix
Restart the computer in Safe Mode ...
many answer around the Internet tells you to press F8 when Windows Logo shows up, but this doesn't work for me, I have USB keyboard
so I found another method ... run System Configuration
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2h.png
Select the [Boot] tab, then select Safe Mode.
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2h2.png
this will make your windows always restart in safe mode until you turn it off
then follow the above process, uninstall that windows update, deselect safe mode, restart computer again, now it should be back to normal
 
Problems might encounter during Step 2f
During compiling, if you see this in your Visual Studio
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'corecrt.h': No such file or directory this means you are missing a component Windows Universal CRT SDK
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 2f.png
 
Step 3: Download and Install MySQL 8.0
Step 3a: Download MySQL 8.0
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3a.png
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3a2.png
actually, you can just click this -> https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file/?id=480824
I have 64-bit operating system, but this 32-bit installer works fine for me
 
Step 3b. Install MySQL 8.0
Select Custom
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3b1.png
We only need 2 products, MySQL 8.0 and MySQL Workbench
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3b2.png
Ready to Install
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3b3.png
next... next.. Execute !! next.. next.. next..
Account and Roles, type "1234" as password
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3b4.png
click [Check]... next... next.. next... DONE !!
 
Step 3c. Run MySQL Workbench
Welcome to MySQL Workbench
Double click the icon -> Click Connect
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3c.png
 
Step 3d. Create a Schema
Right click at the left side of the window
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3d.png
and create a Database call Hercules. Remember change charset/collation to utf8
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3d2.png
 
Step 3e. Install SQL Script for Hercules
Set Hercules as default Schema
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3e.png
load hercules/sql-files/main.sql file
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3e2.png
copy into Query field, then Press Execute button
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 3e3.png
repeat the same process again for log.sql file
 
Step 3f. Install SQL Script for rAthena
Set rAthena as default Schema
install rAthena/sql-files/main.sql and the log.sql
 
Problems might encounter during Step 3e.
If you got a warning message that `ipbanlist` table creation failed, this has been reported -> hercules & rAthena
that's why now we can only use utf8 charset
 
Step 4: Connect MySQL to Hercules and rAthena
Step 4a. Connect Hercules to MySQL
Copy paste the import-tmpl folder, and rename it into import
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 4a.png
then open each individual files and modify each one of them
conf/import/char_server.conf
char_configuration: { // Server name, use alternative character such as ASCII 160 for spaces. // NOTE: Do not use spaces or any of these characters which are not allowed in // Windows filenames \/:*?"<>| // ... or else guild emblems won't work client-side! server_name: "Hercules" // Information related to inter-server behavior inter: { // Server Communication username and password. userid: "qwer" passwd: "asdf" // Login Server IP // The character server connects to the login server using this IP address. // NOTE: This is useful when you are running behind a firewall or are on // a machine with multiple interfaces. login_ip: "127.0.0.1" // Character Server IP // The IP address which clients will use to connect. // Set this to what your server's public IP address is. char_ip: "127.0.0.1" } pincode: { enabled: false } } conf/import/map-server.conf
map_configuration: { // Information related to inter-server behavior inter: { // Interserver communication passwords, set in the login server database userid: "qwer" passwd: "asdf" // Map Server IP // The IP address which clients will use to connect. // Set this to what your server's public IP address is. map_ip: "127.0.0.1" // Character Server IP // The map server connects to the character server using this IP address. // NOTE: This is useful when you are running behind a firewall or are on // a machine with multiple interfaces. char_ip: "127.0.0.1" } } conf/global/sql_connections.conf
sql_connection: { // [INTER] You can specify the codepage to use in your mySQL tables here. // (Note that this feature requires MySQL 4.1+) //default_codepage: "" // [LOGIN] Is `userid` in account_db case sensitive? //case_sensitive: false // For IPs, ideally under linux, you want to use localhost instead of 127.0.0.1. // Under windows, you want to use 127.0.0.1. If you see a message like // "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)" // and you have localhost, switch it to 127.0.0.1 db_hostname: "127.0.0.1" db_port: 3306 db_username: "root" db_password: "1234" db_database: "hercules" //codepage:"" }  
Step 4b. Change s1/p1 inter server connection password
since hercules server hates you for using s1/p1, I change it into qwer/asdf then
Here's how to do it ... Open MySQL Workbench, double click your current running MySQL connection
Type "SELECT * FROM `login`;" , edit the field s1/p1, then click [Apply]
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 4b2.png
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 4b3.png
 
Step 4c. connect rAthena to MySQL
Copy paste the import-tmpl folder, and rename it into import
then open each individual files and modify each one of them
conf/import/char-conf.txt
// Server name, use alternative character such as ASCII 160 for spaces. // NOTE: Do not use spaces or any of these characters which are not allowed in // Windows filenames \/:*?"<>| // ... or else guild emblems won't work client-side! server_name: rAthena // Login Server IP // The character server connects to the login server using this IP address. // NOTE: This is useful when you are running behind a firewall or are on // a machine with multiple interfaces. login_ip: 127.0.0.1 // The character server listens on the interface with this IP address. // NOTE: This allows you to run multiple servers on multiple interfaces // while using the same ports for each server. bind_ip: 127.0.0.1 // Character Server IP // The IP address which clients will use to connect. // Set this to what your server's public IP address is. char_ip: 127.0.0.1 // NOTE: Requires client 2011-03-09aragexeRE or newer. // A window is opened before you can select your character and you will have to enter a pincode by using only your mouse. // Default: yes pincode_enabled: no conf/import/inter-conf.txt
// MySQL Login server login_server_ip: 127.0.0.1 login_server_port: 3306 login_server_id: root login_server_pw: 1234 login_server_db: rathena login_codepage: login_case_sensitive: no ipban_db_ip: 127.0.0.1 ipban_db_port: 3306 ipban_db_id: root ipban_db_pw: 1234 ipban_db_db: rathena ipban_codepage: // MySQL Character server char_server_ip: 127.0.0.1 char_server_port: 3306 char_server_id: root char_server_pw: 1234 char_server_db: rathena // MySQL Map Server map_server_ip: 127.0.0.1 map_server_port: 3306 map_server_id: root map_server_pw: 1234 map_server_db: rathena // MySQL Log Database log_db_ip: 127.0.0.1 log_db_port: 3306 log_db_id: root log_db_pw: 1234 log_db_db: rathena log_codepage: log_login_db: loginlog conf/import/login_conf.txt
// The login server listens on the interface with this IP address. // NOTE: This allows you to run multiple servers on multiple interfaces // while using the same ports for each server. bind_ip: 127.0.0.1 conf/import/map_conf.txt
// Character Server IP // The map server connects to the character server using this IP address. // NOTE: This is useful when you are running behind a firewall or are on // a machine with multiple interfaces. char_ip: 127.0.0.1 // The map server listens on the interface with this IP address. // NOTE: This allows you to run multiple servers on multiple interfaces // while using the same ports for each server. bind_ip: 127.0.0.1 // Map Server IP // The IP address which clients will use to connect. // Set this to what your server's public IP address is. map_ip: 127.0.0.1  
Note: you can do the same for rAthena, change s1/p1 into qwer/asdf. rAthena doesn't *BEEP* when you use s1/p1 though
simply add this line in both conf/import/char-conf.txt and conf/import/map_conf.txt then change it in MySQL Workbench
// Server Communication username and password. userid: s1 passwd: p1  
Read Also: What is Import folder, just scroll down to the bottom and read it
 
 
Before going into next step, I want to stress enough and make sure you can get your server to connect to MySQL
so try running run-server.bat to connect your hercules --OR-- rathena server to MySQL
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 4.5.png
if you can't do it right, Open a New Topic in General Server Support
 
 
problem might encounter during this step
[SQL]: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client This happens if you have previous version of MySQL installed on your computer, and upgrade into MySQL 8.0
to fix this issue, run MySQL command line Client from start menu
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 4.5a.png
then run these 2 commands seperately
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '1234'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 4.5b.png
 
5. Download latest KRO Client and client translation files
Step 5a. Download latest KRO from
http://herc.ws/board/topic/15592-collection-official-full-clients-latest-kro/
https://rathena.org/board/topic/106413-kro-full-client-2018-08-13-includes-bgm-rsu/ <-- I pick this
 
// ========== THIS PART IS CONTROVERSIAL ===== BUT IT WORKS FOR ME ========
Step 5b. Create another 2 folders
let's name it Asheraf and zackdreaver ... the author of making client translation
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 5b.png
then download their translation files by git clone them
https://github.com/Asheraf/Translation https://github.com/zackdreaver/ROenglishRE  
Step 5c. Download GRF Editor
http://www.mediafire.com/file/aflylbhblrzpz0h/GRF+Editor+v1.8.2.7.zip <-- author forgot to update in that topic, mediafire link is latest one
 
Step 5d. Compile GRF Editor
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 5d.png
double click GRFEditor.sln
 
Step 5e. Open GRF Editor file
Navigate to the directory  \GRF Editor Sources v1.8.2.7\GRF Editor\GRFEditor\bin\Release and open GRF Editor.exe
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 5e.png
I also wondering why the author makes the execution files hide so deep inside
 
Step 5f. Drag the data folder from Asheraf client translation to new.grf
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 5f.png
then save it as Asheraf.grf
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 5f2.png
 
Step 5g. Repeat the process for zackdreaver translation
Close Grf. New -> Grf, Drag the data folder from zackdreaver/Ragnarok/data to new.grf, then save it as zackdreaver.grf
 
Now you have learn how to pack your own grf. You should have 2 new grf in client folder
 
Step 5h. open data.ini in your ragnarok client and edit DATA.INI
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 5h.png
[Data] 1=Asheraf.grf 2=zackdreaver.grf 3=rdata.grf 4=data.grf  
Step 5i. Replace Asheraf/system folder into client/system folder
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 5i.png
 
// ========== CONTROVERSIAL PART ENDS HERE ===== I'm sure many client experts having your doubts why I do like this ========
 
A lot of problems can appear in this step, these problems also recent and changes with every client
 
6. Create your own patch client
Step 6a. Download latest nemo
create another folder name nemo
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6a.png
then git clone from this site
https://gitlab.com/4144/Nemo  
Step 6b. Find a suitable client patches
http://nemo.herc.ws/downloads/
Since I download KRO 20180813, I chose 2018-06-20eRagexeRe
 
Step 6c. Open nemo.exe
Click Browse to select your downloaded client patch, then select Load Client
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6c.png
 
Step 6d. Use Recommend Settings
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6d.png
1. forget the "Always call SelectKoreaClientInfo" error
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6d1.png
2. DATA.INI
3. system/itemInfo_Sak.lub <--- note: the Capital letter of Info_Sak ... nemo doesn't auto-detect capital letters
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6d3.png
4. Always Load Korea ExternalSetting lua files
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6d4.png
5. Read Data Folder first
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6d5.png
6. Apply Selected
Step 6e. Copy 2018-06-20eRagexeRE_patched.exe to the KRO client folder
 
 
By this step, you should be able to load your own hexed client without throwing any error
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 6.5.png
if you having problem in this Step 5 & 6, Open a New Topic in Client Support
 
FINAL STEP - change PACKEVER
#define PACKETVER 20180620  
Hercules -> src\common\mmo.h
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 7a.png
 
rAthena ->
src\config\packets.hpp <--- original directory, don't edit here
src\custom\defines_pre.hpp
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/customs/blob/master/server setup/Step 7b.png
 
Then Compile for a Final time
 
 
After thought, there are still some minor annoyance and adjustment
client/data/msgstringtable.txt (unpack it or just put at client/data/ folder)
line 3262 Smooth# line 3458 There was an error when loading the data account settings. (Please restart to retry.)# change them into just a #
 
Frequently Asked Question:
Change Renewal into Pre-Renewal
Hercules -> src/config/renewal.h
rAthena -> src/config/renewal.hpp
 
This guide will be feature and pin only for a few months ... while it last .... I guess

// Build the Menu. setarray .@costume, EQI_COSTUME_HEAD_TOP, EQI_COSTUME_HEAD_MID, EQI_COSTUME_HEAD_LOW, EQI_COSTUME_GARMENT; .@menu$ = ""; for (.@i = 0; .@i < getarraysize(.@costume); ++.@i) .@menu$ += ((getequipisequiped(.@costume[.@i])) ? getequipname(.@costume[.@i]) : "" + .@costume[.@i] + "-[Not equipped]") + ":"; // Select the part. .@equip_index = .@costume[ select(.@menu$) -1 ];  

1.5
plugin
- fix an issue that when using @hide, the market clone also clone as invisible
---- the real issue about this is, if that GM do @marketkill, the surrounding client will crash

nope, this is just an update to compatible with latest hercules, no new feature added or anything
1.6 - plugin
- update to latest revision
- remove all TBL_ and change to struct
- add NULL checks to places where it needed
- update the clif_charnameack with struct packet_reqnameall_ack
and special thanks to dastgir helped maintaining this plugin
 
just add the check like you did in scripting
in npc script
getmapxy .@map$, .@x, .@y, UNITTYPE_PC; if ( .@map$ == "prontera" && .@x == 155 && .@y == 185 ) dispbottom "OK"; in source
if ( strcmp( mapindex_id2name(sd->mapindex), "prontera" ) == 0 && sd->bl.x == 155 && sd->bl.y == 185 ) clif->message( sd->fd, "OK" );  

1.7 - plugin
- fix memory leak for not removing the chatroom

1.8 - plugin
- update to latest revision

// Build the Menu. setarray .@costume, EQI_COSTUME_HEAD_TOP, EQI_COSTUME_HEAD_MID, EQI_COSTUME_HEAD_LOW, EQI_COSTUME_GARMENT; .@menu$ = ""; for (.@i = 0; .@i < getarraysize(.@costume); ++.@i) .@menu$ += ((getequipisequiped(.@costume[.@i])) ? getequipname(.@costume[.@i]) : "" + .@costume[.@i] + "-[Not equipped]") + ":"; // Select the part. .@equip_index = .@costume[ select(.@menu$) -1 ];  

The data available in the GRF files is just the resources, the actual animation is done by the client code (which isn't public), basically his project is to look into decompiled client code and try to emulate these animations in roBrowser.

I think its official, otherwise there are 2 places to check it doesn't trigger on boss
 

Thank you for pointing it out. updated to ver 1.1

prontera,155,185,5 script kjhdsfks 1_F_MARIA,{ detachrid; .@total = getunits( BL_PC, .@aid, false ); for ( .@i = 0; .@i < .@total; ++.@i ) { attachrid .@aid[.@i]; soundeffect "ownage.wav", 0; } end; }  

even this is old topic, but this member still active
unfortunately not all stuffs can be turn into plugin, like adding custom cell_ type (setcell) ... etc..
but, plugin do provide function overload, which is kinda a double-edge-sword
you can overload the function with a plugin file, but you still have to update this plugin file periodically to prevent it from not working
also having 2 plugins overload the same function, defeats the purpose of using plugin
 
so for your answer, there is no other choice but to copy paste the skill_additional_effect function into the plugin, with the lines you wish to edit
