This.When this whole thing started I suggested why not move to a temporary host or something? Well, they said it wouldn't take that long and it wouldn't be worth it. Maybe they should consider this.

Tips of the day:
 
* Have regular backups.
* If you know your site is going to be offline, redirect it to a temporary webhost where you can let people know what's going on
* If it's your hoster's fault and its something they need to fix, breathe down their necks.

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

It is no big deal to do this mod.
@edit
Just finished it. Waiting for ppl's opinion on this.
Because these settings are used only by char-server and therefore it would be a waste of resource to have to include battle settings into the char source code piece.

Skill ID Processing Overhaul
Hello~! - What?!
Yet another super-ultra-mega improvement, brought to you by Hercules. Improvement
This is a monster improvement, map server's memory usage was dropped by no less than 38MB Processing on a number of areas that rely on this have improved, much faster e.g. skill tree calculation. This also prepares the game server to receive the new skills that have id of 5k or higher (e.g. Dragon Breath Water) Changes
This changes how skills are stored during runtime for players, if you have any modifications on that you will want to update them before getting this update in your server. mob_max_skilllvl config was dropped, this limitation no longer exists (e.g. if you make a monster cast lvl 1000 jupitel thunder it'll do 1k hits) reintroduced, accidentally removed (misunderstood function) Special Thanks
to Rytech, he brought up the topic of skill id processing which led me to do this Links~!

Hercules April 22 Patch
Hello~! - What?!
1st, most of these things were meant to be released separately but as I started to work with them one thing hooked up to another and I ended up deciding to get all out at once No second today! The all-long, all-mighty list
New Map Zone DB Updates Added New "All" Zone, easy way to add modifiers to all maps in the game. Automatically inherited by all existent zones. Added new zone setting disabled_commands, can disable any command in any zone "command-name: min-group-lv" also supports min group level to override, to enable back a command disabled by inheritance just use "command-name: 0" Added new zone setting skill_damage_cap (as requested by the community), can cap any skill damage to any range of unit types, and also a new core config "HMAP_ZONE_DAMAGE_CAP_TYPE" that controls how the cap is applied (before or after modifiers) New target-type support (used by skill_damage_cap and disabled_skills): PET (special thanks to frenzmu06 for bringing it up!), CLONE and MOB_BOSS Added support to ids! item and skill ids may now be employed in all sections of the file in the place of item/skill names Detailed Map Zone DB Update Hercules Channel System Update Added a IRC bridge as requested by the community, allows users outside of the game (but in a irc network e.g. thru mobile/cel app) to communicate with anyone in-game that is within a specific #channel, and vice-versa Detailed Channel System Update Added Beret and Yommy's suggestion on cash shop file format, also added support for item ids Added Ryuuzaki's kafra point support to the new cashshop Updated map-server's save_setting, added new option: 128, to save buyingstore transactions on the fly Revisited bindatcmd feature, dropped level support, added group level support and added a new flag capable of deciding whether calls to that command should be logged in the atcommand log. Performance Improvement Added a in-memory list to store existent shops (saves iterating through all online players) Modified searchstore to use said db above, making its queries faster Improved pc_groups processing, decreased runtime ram usage by a about 1mb. Improved @command log processing through groups, now caching the state (no longer does dbmap lookup). Improved atcommand.conf file processing (was doing a extra lookup instead of using atcommand_exists already-performed lookup result) Improved atcommand's help file processing (no more lookups! string is now cached directly in the atcommandinfo struct of each command) and data management Improved @help's processing: dropped the huge config file lookup and replaced by using the caches. Improved atcommand logging, added option to not log specific commands (so you dont waste log room with stuff such as @iteminfo/@mobinfo/etc) -- atcommand.conf nolog group Sightly improved zone inheritance processing. Speeded up mvp drop processing Speeded up item log processing Speeded up mob item drop processing Misc With map_zone_db's new clone support, flag 0x8000 (no-clone-use) in the skill db was dropped With map_zone_db's new way to block commands, mapflag nogo was dropped. Fixed a number of discrepancies between unsigned and signed variables in many packets. Fixed loading messages for exp_db, attr_fix, statpoint, mob_chat_db, mob_pouch, mob_branch, mob_classchange, mob_boss, mob_poring and item_group_db pets from gms who cant drop items no longer can loot items (prevents exploit where gm kills something, pet loots, then drops and action is not logged nor blocked). Fixed combo bonuses that used getrefine on weapons/cards that affect weapons. Added @searchstore as to offer same availability to gms as @auction/@mail does Improved 2013 client charselect procedure, all thanks to Yommy! Links~!

Cash Shop Support

The packets work, you can buy, list, etc. BUUUUT I wouldn't bet it is 100% complete -- I'm not very aware of how the cashpoint stuff works, I'd guess the behavior is not 100% -- BUUUT getting the packets to work was the toughest part, just drop us a bug report and we sure will fix any broken formulas instantly. I'm not aware of what the official servers have in it being sold either, I've put random garbage with absurdly high prices in the db (so we all can debug).

PacketDB Overhaul
Hello~! - What?!
1st, not a overhaul as much as...well we purged the poor thing completely 2nd, adding and maintaining packets is now much easier Changes
packet_db.txt was dropped packet_ver was dropped in its entirety, the server has never been able to maintain multiple packet versions at once stably packet_ver_flag setting in conf/battle/client.conf was dropped packets are now stored at src/map/packets.h packets.h format
for outgoing packets: packet(packet_id,length)/* example */packet(0x006a,23); for incoming packets: packet(packet_id,length,function,offset ( specifies the offset of a packet field in bytes from the begin of the packet ),...)/* example */packet(0x0072,19,clif->pWantToConnection,2,6,10,14,18); Improvement
Users no longer have to touch packet files when changing their client versions, PACKETVER in src/common/mmo.h is now enough. With the map server not having to maintain packets for so many versions at once, its ram usage was reduced by 7MB Credits
Feature Design by GreenBox Special Thanks
to mkbu95 for bringing this topic up! (reworking the packetdb) Links~!

Introducing Hercules' Channel System
Hello~! - What?!
1st, it is a replacement for the old @main 2nd, it is a super ultra mega improvement compared to the functionality @main provided. 3rd, whops. there is no 3rd. channels.conf format
    /* default channels (available on boot) */     default_channels: {         /* channel_name : channel_messages_color */          main: "Orange" /* available as #main */         support: "Blue" /* available as #support */         trade: "Red" /* available as #trade */         offtopic: "Cyan" /* available as #offtopic */         /* as many channels as you like */     }     /* colors available */     colors: {         Default: "0xffffff" /* custom channels will use the first in the list unless a font is selected thru @channel */         Red: "0xff0000"         Blue: "0x83cfe9"         Orange: "0xe57c00"         Cyan: "0x00b89d"         Yellow: "0xffff90"         Green: "0x28bf00"         Normal: "0x00ff00"         /* as many colors as you like */     }     /* allow users to create their own (private) channels through @channels command? */     /* (must also allow players to use @channels in groups.conf) */     allow_user_channel_creation: true     /* "map_local_channel" is a instanced channel unique to each map */     map_local_channel: true     map_local_channel_name: "map" /* available as #map */     map_local_channel_color: "Yellow"     map_local_channel_autojoin: true /* can disable autojoin in specific maps through mapflag or zone: nomapchannelautojoin */     /* "ally_channel" is a channel shared by all your guild allies */     ally_channel_enabled: true     ally_channel_name: "ally" /* available as #ally */     ally_channel_color: "Green"     ally_channel_autojoin: true Notes on the format/configuration
default_channels is the list of reboot-persistent channels, you can setup as many as you like and each can have its own color for chat, which you can specify in colors (again, you can setup as many as you like) map_local_channel is a feature that grants each map its own instanced channel (available, by default as #map -- which can be changed as per map_local_channel_name) map_local_channel_autojoin whether users will autojoin the local channel when they load a map with it enabled map_local_channel_autojoin can be disabled on selected maps (e.g. if you dont want it on gvg maps) through a mapflag (with a horribly long name D:) '<map name><tab>mapflag<tab>nomapchannelautojoin' ally_channel_enabled is a feature that grants a instanced channel for each guild's allies (as well as their own members), available by default as #ally -- which can be changed as per map_local_channel_name ally_channel_autojoin whether users will autojoin their respective ally chats upon login. New Commands Explained
@join Simple: @join <#channel_name>or, for password-protected rooms: @join <#channel_name> <password> @channel Does a number of things. Create a new channel (option available as long as allow_user_channel_creation is enabled) @channel create <#channel_name> <password> List public channels (groups with hchsys_admin can view private channels as well) @channel list Change a channel's color (requires to be owner of said channel or be in a group with hchsys_admin permission) @channel setcolor Samples available colors and displays their keys/names @channel list colors Leaves a specific channel @channel leave <#channel_name> Binds your global chat to a specific channel, making everything you type that'd normally be displayed to nearby characters be redirected to that channel instead @channel bindto <#channel_name> Unbinds your global chat from the current (if any) binded channel @channel unbind Bans a specific character from a channel @channel ban <#channel name> <character name> Lists all banned characters from a channel (groups with channel system admin permission can also see their account id) @channel banlist <#channel name> Unbans a specific character from a channel @channel unban <#channel name> <character name> Changes a channel's options (for now, channel message delay and announce-when-someone-joins) @channel setopt <#channel name> <option name> <option value> How to speak in a #channel
You can either bind a channel to your global chat (see @channel bindto above) or PM the channel you want to speak to, if you attempt to send a pm to a non-password protected channel that you have not joined, you'll autojoin. Other stuff
as I coded this feature I also improved overall guild processing/lookup, extremely, extremely faster (did I already say its ridiculously faster? WoE overhead probably more than halved with this). over a hundred lookups were replaced by a cached guild state that takes only 4~8 bytes per player. The commit also fixed a "wearing-garment-removed-costume-garment-look" bug - special thanks to jTynne for letting me know~! Groups with channel admin permission can bypass the channel message delay Special Thanks
to Streusel for proposing an idea that'd end up as the @channel bindto feature. to Frost for proposing the per-channel message delay limitation to Fatalis for proposing what'd end up as the @channel ban, @channel unban and @channel unbanall to Zopokx for proposing an improvement to how the map/local channels function Links~!
Commit Commit (update)

Introducing Hercules' Map Zone Database
Hello~! - What?!
1st, it is a merge from item_noequip.txt and skill_nocast_db.txt functionality. 2nd, it is a major improvement on what these features did in both performance and usability. map_zone_db.txt format sample
{     name: "My Zone"     inherit: ( "My Other Zone" )     disabled_skills: {         AL_HEAL: "PLAYER | MONSTER | ELEMENTAL"         AL_TELEPORT: "MONSTER"         MG_FIREBOLT: "NONE"         //MG_NAPALMBEAT: "PLAYER"         //ID11: "PLAYER"     }     disabled_items: {         Assumptio_5_Scroll: false         //Apple: true         //ID501: true     }     mapflags: (         "adjust_skill_damage    MG_FIREBOLT    250",         "adjust_unit_duration    PR_SANCTUARY    50"     )     /* "command:min-group-lv-to-override" e.g. "heal: 70" */     disabled_commands: {         //Example Below makes @heal be used in maps within this zone only by those group lv 70 and above         //heal: 70     }     skill_damage_cap: {         //Exemple Below caps firebolt damage in maps within this zone to a maximum 50 damage,         // (depends on HMAP_ZONE_DAMAGE_CAP_TYPE in src/config/core.h)         // when cast vs players and monsters.         //MG_COLDBOLT: (50,"PLAYER | MONSTER")     } } Notes on the format
In disabled_skills the var following the name (: "PLAYER | MONSTER | HOMUN | MERCENARY | ELEMENTAL | PET | CLONE | MOB_BOSS") is what allows a zone to know what unit types should have this skill disabled. In the sample above, for example, in My Zone, player, monster and elemental unit types are unable to cast heal, while only monsters are unable to cast teleport. this variable may also be used to ignore skills from inheritance, for example if My Other Zone disabled a number of skills, including MG_FIREBOLT, in My Zone all of them will be disabled as well, except for MG_FIREBOLT since it is set as NONE. In disabled_items the var following the name (: true or : false) is what allows a zone to override what it inherited, for example if My Other Zone disables a number of items, including Assumptio_5_Scroll, in My Zone all of them will be disabled as well, except Assumptio_5_Scroll since it is as false. A zone may enforce an unlimited number of mapflags on all its maps, by using this sample all maps under My Zone will have Fire Bolt damage increased by 2.5x and Sanctuary will have its duration halved. A unlimited number of maps may be linked to a specific zone through a mapflag '<map name><tab>mapflag<tab>zone<tab><zone name>' Changes The mf_restrict (restrict) was dropped. item_noequip.txt and skill_nocast_db.txt were dropped, replaced by map_zone_db.txt. setmapflag script command was modified to support the new zones. @mapinfo was modified to support the new zones, also modified the formatting and made it include the amount of vendings. Improvements As opposed to item_noequip.txt and skill_nocast_db.txt, map_zone_db.txt supports an unlimited number of zones. map_zone_db.txt implementation surpasses the ones from item_noequip.txt and skill_nocast_db.txt, making item equipping (pc_useitem/status_calc_pc) and skill using (previously skillnotok, now status_check_skilluse) processing much faster and efficient. @mapinfo performance was improved (was doing chat room dbmap lookups without even checking if player was on the map in question) Special Thanks to Muad_Dib <3. to lighta for discussing the feature with me and helping design the unit-based restrictions on skills to Bahmut and Emistry for ideas on how to format the file. to kyeme for feature ideas. Links~! Commit Commit 2 (update) Map Zone Database File

Thanks to k3dt for upacking the clients, we have access to 2013-03 where new skills were added. RagexeRE are compiled differently so at the moment, it can't be used unless someone finds a way.
 
Anyway, this topic is mainly for support in trying to get ragexe working since it seems that it will prove more useful than RagexeRE.

I don't have the translations/translated lub files that rytech has, but here is the 2 new skills in the skill list.
 

 
 
Problems faced so far:
ALT+W (For Cart) won't work anymore. I tried last time on RagexeRE, and I assume the same problem on Ragexe. It says prohibit to use in area. (Packet related?)

 
Method to log in:
Note: This process is only for testing for now, since the client still needs to be diffed with the necessary patches.
ragexe.exe -1rag1 /account:sci.xml -t:blah blah server
(In bat file) where sci.xml is in the data folder
  In mysql, create a new account with no ID/Pass, and set the group_id to 99 to get a gm account
Reason for this is due to the xml settings and the client isn't fully patched
You may see in your console, accept account ID(blank) with password(blank)
  When you login, you can login with the blank account and log in with your character
I had to manually create a character in mysql though, I got "Not Available" in my char select screen
  Once done, login, and you see your character you made. Toggle right and back to your character to login to the account. If you don't, then enter won't do anything.

 
Over the few days, if no one has done it yet, I'll keep applying some patches to the client so it'll be easier to test

2013-03-20 Hex Strings
Notes: For me, if you diff with ShinsdiffPatcher the client will no longer work.
So I think until someone updates it, we just have to manually find/replace.

Starting today we'll be going throughout all of our source code to modify how functions are called. so what?
Benefit
With this new implementation chances to have custom source modifications conflict when you update hercules will be drastically reduced. How? Instead of modifying existing functions users will be able to create a new version of them elsewhere, e.g. in a custom file, and have it replace the original one. How? very simple.
battle->check_target = my_new_check_target_function; PluginsThis change opens the possibility for a new plugin implementation in the future.
Project Vision
We understand this move will conflict with some points in our project vision, we'll be modifying it soon.
More
We want Hercules to stand out, with that in mind we've been planning features exclusive to Hercules, features other projects won't be able to merge. And how is that even possible? features that will integrate with our forum is one example of them. For example a feature capable of automatically looking for new updates in scripts/modifications downloaded from our upcoming downloads section.
