Problem with drop generating cards

[Problem with drop generating cards]

Hmm.. Thats weird.. Because I havent modified my db folder at all. Its the stock version of hercules from github.

 

Here are the scripts -

 

{	Id: 4265	AegisName: "Li_Me_Mang_Ryang_Card"	Name: "Jing Guai Card"	Type: 6	Buy: 20	Weight: 10	Loc: 136	Script: <" bonus3 bAddMonsterDropItem,12033,RC_Angel,100; ">}

 

{	Id: 4262	AegisName: "Evil_Cloud_Hermit_Card"	Name: "Cloud Hermit Card"	Type: 6	Buy: 20	Weight: 10	Loc: 136	Script: <" bonus3 bAddMonsterDropItem,12029,RC_Plant,100; ">}

[Problem with drop generating cards]

I was trying to set the "item_rate_adddrop" setting in the "conf/battle/drops.conf" file, when I noticed something strange.
 
In spite of keeping the drop rate at 100%, I wasn't getting any drops from the 2 cards that I tried.
Thats when I noticed this error in my mapserver console -

This error is created only when I login a character that possesses these cards.

 

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

[MVP Rude attack modified?]

A few months / years ago, MVPs used to teleport after a rude attack.

However in the new versions of Hercules/rAthena, they dont seem to teleport like before.

 

For example, If you Asura the MVP and it kills you at the same time, it was counted as a rude attack, and made the monster TP

Now, if you do the same thing, the MVP doesn't teleport.

 

I know the rude attack settiongs still work, because I attacked an MVP using GM hide and it teleported exactly after 2 hits, just as predicted.

 

Yet, something has changed. Its not the same setting as before. Does a suicide attack not count as a rude attack anymore?

 

Has anyone else noticed this? Or is there any way I can change this back to the earlier setting?

[Hercules WPE Free - June 14th Patch]

Those keys aren't all that strong. Stronger than the ones that originally came with the 2013-08-07 client, but still weak. They don't seem to pass the test at the URL you posted.

 

Oh. I see.. I was entering them like this -

 

1581359

55F86C1E

6AFB6E2E

 

But I guess they have to be entered like this ?

 

0x1581359

0x55F86C1E

0x6AFB6E2E

 

Also, Is it safe to share these keys publicly on the forums? If a good hacker gets to know a server's keys, won't he be able to make some kind of de-encryption for it?

[Hercules WPE Free - June 14th Patch]

I'm using the 2013-08-07 client.

 

I've modified the required files as per the instructions in this topic. [Diffed in 3 working keys using NEMO, edited client.conf and edited packets.h]

My client connects to the server without any errors, but I'm still able to spam skills/packets using WPE.

 

I think someone did mention earlier that this client doesnt work, but I don't think anybody confirmed it.

Does this mean that the 2013-08-07 client is definitely not compatible with the feature?

 

It would be a shame if one of the most stable clients didn't support the best Hercules feature.

 

 

 

--------------------------

EDIT

--------------------------

 

Nvm..

I got it to work on the 2013-08-07 client.

Tried changing the keys a few times. 4th time was the charm.

 

If any of the previous posters who had issues with the 2013-08-07 client are still interested, these are the keys I used -

 

1581359

55F86C1E

6AFB6E2E

 

I don't know if these are strong enough or not, because I didn't quite understand the concept of strong/weak keys.

But they passed the test here - http://www.robrowser.com/prototype/packet-keys/ , so I guess they should be good enough.

 

A big thanks to all those who contributed to developing this feature as well as all those who provide support for it on these forums.

 

And I guess someone could update the list of compatible clients on the first post..
