Its working man, just not as expected. I think its not reading the battle confs, so you have to put the config variables in the src/plugin file.
 
/src/plugins/ExtendedVending.c
int bc_extended_vending = 1; // Enable Extended Vending System int bc_show_item_vending = 1; // Show Currency Name in the Pub of Vending int bc_ex_vending_info = 0; // Show Information about buying int bc_item_zeny = 30002; // ItemID for Zeny, 0 to disable int bc_item_cash = 0; // ItemID for CashPoints, 0 to disable

Give me your opinion to improve the map!
 

Greetings everyone,
Today I'm introducing a project that I've been envisioning and working on for a couple of months, a control panel developed using Laravel (currently v5.8) that has quite a few advanced features that no other panel has offered before.
Feature Insight
Bootstrap Responsive Design
The panel by default will come with one bootstrap-based responsive design that is elegant, light coloured and adjusts to screens of all sizes. The panel is also capable of supporting custom themes.
 
Master Account System
Create and manage all your game accounts in any server from one main web-account.
 
Passwords of the master accounts are hashed using bcrypt to ensure safety for all registered users.
ROGen
Adapted from @KeyWorld's ROChargen, a library in php that extracts images from sprites and uses resources inside data folders (and not grf files). With the help of this library images of headgears, skill icons, illustrations, item images, monsters and mini maps are can be generated and displayed on web pages.
Complete Database Libraries
Using a library with conversions of information in the client folder, the website incorporates in-game information such as skill and item descriptions, quest information and much more.
Character Overview
The character overview page is an important part of a user's experience. With the features mentioned above, we're able to display alot of information about one's in-game characters on the fly.
 
User Profiles
Additionally, something that's never been seen before in RO CMS or Panels are public user profiles. The ability of a user to view another user's in-game information through the control panel.
Customisable Email Templates
 
Administration Section
The demo for this site is live and available at - http://bladecp.xyz
ID: [email protected] Pass: abcdef  
How do I gain access to this awesome panel?
PM me on discord @Sxyz#0202!

https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/blob/e9daf0e172d5441ec6d264b4056db4f7f3e5780a/doc/item_db.txt#L74
Its on item_db now.
DropAnnounce: true/false (boolean, defaults to false) DropAnnounce: Enables global announcement of the selected item when dropped by monster.  

Read the post, man. Couple posts above you can see the solution. 
 

You should always use multiple grf(I see you are using palette ~300, which is custom, so you need to put those grf too).
About other, I guess ROChargen needs grf with specific version (0x200 afaik), though just check that in their docs.

Hey everyone!
 
Some of you have left me many messages (here on the forum and on Discord) regarding my activity. Sadly, I've been quite busy working at Summer Camp (hence why I haven't been active much through the summer....). I try to check in whenever I have some time to myself, but it is quite difficult to do so with lack of internet and lack of connection.
 
Good news is... it's almost done and I'm about ready to get back to my normal routine. Please, if you have any more questions/concerns/ or just want to say hi, don't hesitate to talk to me via PM or Discord! I check Discord more often since I am on my phone more often.
 
Mystery out!

@Temtaime
shouldn't we be focusing on the vanilla stuff first? i mean... interface customization would work better through an later API, so we can have an infinite opensource amount of Interfaces withing the community.. even the community helping with the new interface stuff and packets (i'm talking about the juicy new refine system)...

It's just an idea...

edit:
Just trying things out xD here some inspiration for you

@raPalooza~ yes, vanilla stuff first, but currently there's for example no some UI elements, and there's no difference in the difficulty to make them as original or as something brand new  

RUCR
Hello Hercules Community,
I was working on RUCR this month and I am happy to announce that it's complete. The Site contains all Ragexe(upto 2016-07) and RagexeRE from 2014, fully unpacked.
It would be great if there will be no mirrors, I would be keeping this web up and running, so mirrors won't be needed.
Also, if you find any clients missing, you can post it here, and I will check if that can be uploaded.
 
 
Repo Link: DISABLED
Enjoy
 

Hello guys !
I'm sorry for such a delay, but i have some troubles IRL, and while i'm the only one who develops this client, there was no news.
Æsir made a big step, many basic features are now accessible. It's not so much comparing with korean client, but it's a good start. With time, features will multiply.
You can download and try it right here.

Hello! ~
* Introduction
RO Hooks is a paid project, which will allow a set of custom abilities to your client, such as player name coloring, server side GM sprite and such; It is is meant to be a way to edit this old dead game client to add things either improving player's experience or giving the ability to have new of content or to give your players something special.
 
* What do we have currently
GM Clothes and Robot Clothes controller server side (Robot Clothes is a Special Event Sprite) Player Name coloring (Server-side) Item Name Coloring (Client-Side) Messages Timestamp "inspired by Project Chaos RO (nachtwolke.ai4rei.com)" More to come  
* Pictures
- GM and Robot Clothes


- Name Coloring




- Colorizing Item Names (Configure client side, could be applied to any kind of items)

- Messages Timestamp

* Which Clients are supported?
Pretty much anything 2012-04 and onward, older clients are also supported upon request.
* Is there anything more? when is this supposed to be release? And can we suggest something?
There's still other futures which will be announced soon, I'm pretty much working everyday to find something newer.
It will be released as soon as we have enough set of custom futures, also any suggestions for features is more than welcome, as soon as anything new finished i will announce it here. Also as soon as it's ready for sell I will get a Paid Service topic.
 

Hello! It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm Cero, I've been playing RO inconsistently for around 5-6 years. I found this forum while trying to broaden my knowledge on RO development. Recently, I've begun working on a Ragnarok server project. From the threads I've read on beginner rAthena and Herc scripting, everyone here seems nice and ready to offer help. I'll be around the forums posting about scripting and paid services mainly, I hope for my stay here to be a long one, and one to remember with all of you. Thanks and have a nice day! ^_^

Hey everyone,
 
It has been long overdue to bridge over to IPB4... but we are finally here. We ran into a few issues with the transition but we got the forum running within an hour. The forum is now accessible for everyone (maintenance is over), but keep in mind that there are still batches being processed in the backend which may make your experiences in browsing / posting sluggish. Over the next few hours/days, I will be working on the forum; reorganizing a few things, fine tuning, etc.
 
 
If you run into any issues, don't hesitate to bring them to my attention! 

View File Array manipulation functions
This script provides various array manipulation functions, and more might be added in the future.
All of those functions (except the arithmetic ones) work with both integer and string arrays.
The start of the array is always implicitly index 0, unless an index is specified, ie @array[index]



array_pad(<array>, <size>, <value>)
pads the array left or right with <value> until it reaches <size> size. If <size> is negative it will pad left.
> returns the number of added entries
setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_pad(.@foo, 8, 69); // => 3 // array is now: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 69, 69, 69 setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_pad(.@foo, -8, 69); // => 3 // array is now: 69, 69, 69, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5


array_replace(<array>, <needle>, <replacement>{, <neq>})
finds every occurrence of <needle> within the array and replaces it with <replacement>. if <neq> is true, finds entries that do not match instead
> returns the number of changed entries setarray(.@foo, 1, 1, 3, 1, 5); // initialize the array array_replace(.@foo, 1, 69); // => 3 // array is now: 69, 69, 3, 69, 5


array_find(<array>, <needle>{, <neq>})
finds the first occurrence of <needle> within the array. if <neq> is true, finds entries that do not match instead
> returns the index, or if none is found returns -1 setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_find(.@foo, 3); // => 2 array_find(.@foo, 1); // => 0 array_find(.@foo, 6); // => -1


array_rfind(<array>, <needle>{, <neq>})
like array_find, but finds the last occurrence. if <neq> is true, finds entries that do not match instead
> returns the index, or if none is found returns -1 setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 3); // initialize the array array_rfind(.@foo, 3); // => 4 array_rfind(.@foo, 4); // => 3 array_rfind(.@foo, 6); // => -1


array_exists(<array>, <needle>{, <neq>})
very similar to array_find() but it instead just checks if it exists or not. if <neq> is true, finds entries that do not match instead > returns true or false setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_exists(.@foo, 3); // => true array_exists(.@foo, 6); // => false


array_count(<array>, <needle>{, <neq>})
similar to array_find() but iterates through the whole array. if <neq> is true, finds entries that do not match instead
> returns the total number of occurrences of <needle> setarray(.@foo, 1, 69, 3, 69, 5); // initialize the array array_count(.@foo, 69); // => 2


array_entries(<array>)
a wrapper around array_count(). behaves similarly to getaraysize() but does not count holes
> returns the number of non-empty entries setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 0, 0, 5); // initialize the array getarraysize(.@foo); // => 5 array_entries(.@foo); // => 3



array_remove(<array>, <needle>{, <neq>})
finds and removes every occurrence of <needle> from the array, while shifting left. if <neq> is true, finds entries that do not match instead
> returns the number of removed entries setarray(.@foo, 1, 69, 3, 69, 5); // initialize the array array_remove(.@foo, 69); // => 2 // array is now: 1, 3, 5


array_reverse(<array>)
reverses the array
> returns true setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_reverse(.@foo); // => true // array is now: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1


array_sum(<array>)
iterates through the whole array to perform an arithmetic addition
> returns the sum of every entries of the array setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_sum(.@foo); // ((((1 + 2) + 3) + 4) + 5) => 15


array_difference(<array>)
iterates through the whole array to perform an arithmetic subtraction
> returns the difference of every entries of the array setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_difference(.@foo); // ((((1 - 2) - 3) - 4) - 5) => -13


array_product(<array>)
iterates through the whole array to perform an arithmetic multiplication
> returns the product of every entries of the array setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_product(.@foo); // ((((1 * 2) * 3) * 4) * 5) => 120


array_quotient(<array>)
iterates through the whole array to perform an arithmetic division
> returns the quotient of every entries of the array setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_quotient(.@foo); // ((((1 / 2) / 3) / 4) / 5) => 0


array_shift(<array>)
removes the first entry of the array, while shifting left
> returns the value of the removed entry setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_shift(.@foo); // => 1 // array is now: 2, 3, 4, 5


array_unshift(<array>, <value>)
adds <value> to the start of the array, while shifting right
> returns the new size of the array setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_unshift(.@foo, 69); // => 6 // array is now: 69, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5


array_pop(<array>)
removes the last entry of the array
> returns the value of the removed entry setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_pop(.@foo); // => 5 // array is now: 1, 2, 3, 4


array_push(<array>, <value>)
adds <value> to the end of the array
> returns the new size of the array setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_push(.@foo, 69); // => 6 // array is now: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 69


array_shuffle(<array>)
shuffles the array
> returns true setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_shuffle(.@foo); // => true // array is now: 1, 4, 2, 3, 5 (example, unpredictable)


array_unique(<array>{, <threshold>})
allows array entries to appear up to <threshold> times (1 by default) and removes the extraneous ones. useful to remove duplicate entries
> returns the number of removed entries
setarray(.@foo, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_unique(.@foo); // => 1 // array is now: 1, 3, 4, 5


array_diff(<base array>, <array>{, <array>...}, <result array>)
compares the base array against one or more other arrays and fills the result array with the entries in base array that are not present in any of the other arrays
> returns the number of entries not found in other arrays
setarray(.@base, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8); // initialize the base array // fill the arrays to compare with the base array: setarray(.@foo, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8); // missing "1" setarray(.@bar, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8); // missing "5" setarray(.@baz, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7); // missing "8" // compare foo, bar and baz against base, and fill result: array_diff(.@base, .@foo, .@bar, .@baz, .@result); // => 3 // .@result is now: 1, 5, 8


array_filter(<array>, "<function>")
filters the array using a function that is tested against every entries. if the function returns false, the relevant entry is removed and the array is shifted left
> returns the number of removed entries
function script is_prime { if (getarg(0) <= 1) return false; for (.@i = 2; .@i <= getarg(0) / 2; ++.@i) if ((getarg(0) % .@i) == 0) return false; return true; } setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15); array_filter(.@foo, "is_prime"); // => 9 // array is now: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13


array_sort(<array>)
sorts the array in ascending order
> returns true
setarray(.@foo, 2, 1, 8, 4, 5, 7, 6, 3); // initialize the array array_sort(.@foo); // => true // array is now: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8


array_rsort(<array>)
sorts the array in descending order
> returns true
setarray(.@foo, 2, 1, 8, 4, 5, 7, 6, 3); // initialize the array array_rsort(.@foo); // => true // array is now: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

View File Randomization helper functions
This script provides syntactic sugar for randomization.
Works fine with both strings and integers.
 
 
any(<arg>{, <arg>{, ...}})
> returns a random argument from the passed arguments
emotion(any(e_hmm, e_grat, e_yawn)); // do any of those 3 emotes  


any_of(<array>)
> returns a random entry from the passed array setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4); // build the array // ... later in the code: mes(any_of(.@foo)); // print any number from the array  


relative_array_random(<array: 0, {[value, probability]...}>{, <recalculate>})
a more powerful version of any_of(), which allows to assign arbitrary probabilities to every entry instead of being rand(size) for every one.
the first value of the array is reserved and must be 0, and every entry must be a tuple of [value, probability].
if the array is modified between invocations please pass true as second argument to re-calculate the total probability.
probabilities are arbitrary and can be any number between 1 and INT_MAX.
> returns the random entry
setarray(.@foo, 0, // <= always 0 111, 6, 222, 12, // <= [value, probability] 333, 20, 444, 4); relative_array_random(.@foo); // => 333 (example, unpredictable)

maptimer("<map>", <tick>, "<event>")
makes all players in the map call <event> after <tick> ms
> returns the number of affected players
maptimer("prontera", 500, "MyNPC:MyEvent");    
 
maptimer2("<map>", <tick>, "<event>")
identical to maptimer() but also removes any existing timer before adding the new one
> returns the number of affected players
maptimer2("prontera", 500, "MyNPC:MyEvent");    
 
mapdeltimer("<map>", "<event>")
makes all players on the map remove their timers for <event>
> returns the number of affected players
mapdeltimer("prontera", "MyNPC:MyEvent");         globaltimer(<tick>, "<event>")

For me, I don't feel we need any restriction, we are open-source community, putting any restriction will discourage user from using forum and it would give rise to many spam accounts and more importantly, it will lead to increase demand for paid developers and as a result less scripts/mods would be released for free.

This will just encourage people making spam posts to increase their post count, and encourage creating other accounts to increase reputation. It makes everything cumbersome for everyone. You cannot and should not force people to contribute. You'll just end up driving away possible contributors to other projects (ie rAthena). Most people nowadays prefer to try first, then if they like it they come back and contribute. If people feel forced they just bail.
