File Category: Sprites & Palettes
 
This is a cursor modification I made for ragnarok, following the thoughts and feeling of my past works,
I've created this with the intention of innovating the feeling of the game without letting the design break the game visual with a big gap in style.
 
Some pieces are made from other mmos such as maplestory for example ( and some others I cant remember right now )
 
I've got some files backed up and lost others due to lost data on my old computer(it's an old project) so it's a little hard to deal modifications from the feedback, but i'll do my best.
 
A lot of people came asking for this cursor over PM and Posts, glad you guys asked for it, otherwise I would let this project on the shelf, enjoy guys ;]

With the usage of HatEffects(.str files) and source editing I was able to create a new mob HP bar with a more modern look to it. ;] Even add different color and effects to MVP and Minibosses...
Since it uses hateffect lua files i found some limitations regarding the ID(dunno if client locked)... wich is bad ;/ it also uses a huge amount of str effects since you need 1 for each hp stage... I did mine with 20 different bar %...

It's not only data modification but a whole lot of code behind it ^^ just to clarify. 

Forgot i posted this here. Ive done a bunch of iterations on this project.
The coding part is very easy, You could just change the clif_ where the original HP is updated checking for mob hp and load the hateffect id on the mob....

I think the most dificult part is .lua + design of the bars itself.



 

actually normal hit a monster send multiple packets
 
let's put a ShowDebug on clif->send function

I rather don't touch this at the moment
 
this means, whenever I attack something, it sends an attack animation and also updates the client to face the attacking source enemy
 
so if we block ZC_CHANGE_DIRECTION for the monster, this will cause rogue's backstab to not function properly
 
the answer is YES, block ZC_NOTIFY_ACT2
here's the plugin `@filterattack`
https://github.com/AnnieRuru/Release/blob/master/plugins/packetfilter/filterattack.c
 
after tested it, `@filterattack 63` looks like everyone is standing still facing each other (remember ZC_CHANGE_DIRECTION packet is still sent)
 
 

@AnnieRuru
 
I knew about the woe hiding the damage, but I was wondering if hiding everyones damage but yours would reduce bandwidth and memory.
 
Example:
If tou have 20 player hiting a worldboss for 123456789(damages are high nowadays)
 
That wouldbe 20 x 12356789 packets sent with that value per player...
 
If it shows only your (self) damage there would be 1 x 123456789 damage packet and 19 x -1 for the damage animation.
(Hope its clear)
Do you think It would improve performance?

Modern Housing
                                               Instace House
 
 
The housing system will somehow award players with furnitures decorations, so they can arrange it as they want and then show their house to the word!

More in depth:
When opening the instance the party leader loads the Char_id into the housing database table, where it contains all the furniture custom npc id/placement/ifplaced information linked to his Char_id.
through scripting, copied npcs inside the instance map (1@hous,0,0,4 duplicate(Furniture) Furniture#0 HIDDEN_NPC1) are moved, rotated and "disguised" based on information of the housing database.

I'm also creating a second Database table that holds all the global information of furniture (names,npc_id,price?,rarity,...)
 
The reward part still a mistery, i'm thinking of a function that would insert the furniture into the database ;] and that function could be set on usables, questboards, equips? ;]
Progression:
 House Map                                                   100%
 Furniture Loading                                       100%
 Furniture Control                                            0%
 Furniture Reward                                            0%
                                                           Furniture Spriting                                        (currently using ones from Habbo Hotel game)
Instance Control                                          70%


A screenshot of the current state:

A little video of how development is going


Problems :[
- No easy way(found) of controling where you want your furniture to be.
- As they are custom_npcs there's an annoying problem of mousovering, imagine a house full of furniture you would keep clicking the npc and not the cell to move( even with end;) ;[
- The sprites that i ripped borrowed from Habbo are only the from view, so a table with chairs arround would not be possible (yet?)

Hope to hear some good ideas to improve the project, and also a little help if someone is interested!
Let's go housing! :*

It's an issue that i know exists, since it's an old cursor file. I myself use my cursor on 06-20 without this sprites and it is indeed very annoying not seeing the cursor when hovering unwalkable cells. I'll try find some time to update it in the next few days... Thanks @Emistry
 

View File Custom Flag GR2
Hello once again... ;]
Here to bring you guys this GR2 edit of the old guild flag that i've made years ago.

This release features a more high resolution mesh with a 2 sided flag, showing the emblem in both sides. It means that you can overlap 2 flags with 2 oposite directions to generate a  cool effect. You can do what you want.

The instalation:
- at jobname.lua/lub:
-- [jobtbl.JT_GUILD_FLAG] = "rapa_flag.gr2",

note that you cannot have the _1 at the end of de .gr2 filename since it brings the 3dmob_bones into action and we dont want that.

some cons:
- since it is a high res model it takes longer to load ( affects map loading time )
- the positioning of a 3D gr2 mob is always very glichy, for example the final position after movement is diferent from deafault 8 directional.. so you can come up with some ideas to position it right. For example, doing a OnInit: walknpc... to make it walk to the direction you want it to face...

Video: ( Was recording other stuff but the model appear on screen, don't mind what i'm doing... )

High-Res Damagefont
Here is a new damage font i've cooked for you guys. Alot simpler than the other ones ive uploaded, wen't for a more minimalistic design.
I've tried not to kill the pixelated vibe that we all love from the original one, but still improving its resolution. Was pretty happy with the result ;]

Hope you all like it.

I'm releasing this map that I made a while ago for a SAO-RAG project that has been put on hold, and i felt like it's too good of a map to put it on a shelf ;]

Hope you guys enjoy the release. ;] Some files inside include the color changes on some texture files, so keep that in mind, and delete them if you want.

Today, 2 updates :
Indoor view and cursor update
As you can see on the screen, indoor modified view is now available.
It makes the browser game looks like more again like the official one!

Too, the cursor "not allowed" is available on non-walkable cells.

QuestLog
Huge update is related to new quest log system. The idea to develop it was given by @rapalooza on discord.

I discovered than the old quest log UI was replaced by this light version. I like this version too, and it is now available on ZeRObrowser!

Features like mob counting on the head and short description on the top right of the screen are here too.
With it, I think playing on the browser for quest farming takes a strong importance now...

Hey guys,
 
Over the last couple of years I've been at work thinking of a new emulation project to expand our wings as RO emulation developers and create a genre of game server design that intends to be more concrete in terms of scalability of the processing load on the server. I now have a project called Horizon and it caters to those developers who wish to expand their knowledge in terms of development and concept architecture, scalability of software and maintainability of code, as well as server owners who are with the intention of having a great involvement in the customization of the game design or gameplay.
 
Horizon is created on a multithreaded architecture to cater to multiple thousands of players at once. This can be utilized by the biggest and baddest of servers who have a large userbase (10k+ online at once) where server scalability can be availed. Having multiple threads each of the kind of load that is carried by the server allows a mass population to be split amongst them for work and therefore giving the server time to think about how to not only deal with volumes of information pouring in at once, but also keep the all clients updated at a rapid pace. This is not a system that is available on any of the emulators as currently standing and will not be an option in the near future as well since it involves restructuring the Athena architecture that was designed since the beginning and re-evaluating all of the work that has been done up and till recent times. redesigning Athena from the start to provide a multithreaded capability is just out of question at this point - this is the primary reason Horizon is being worked on.
 
Horizon today stands as the scalable and maintainable server option for those looking to provide 10x the times of users that Athena provides. Horizon is the future option of servers for large player online loads and seamless catering to thousands at a single time. I wish to invite you to the project site Project Horizon Board. This project requires a large amount of support in terms of money and constraints put on developer availability in the present day of RO private server emulators so please consider sponsoring horizon.
 
Here are videos that showcase horizon's current state -
 
Horizon Skill System Test  Horizon Premium Storage Test Horizon Item Drop Test Horizon Combat Damage Test / Damage Delay Test / Walk Delay Test  
Best,
Smoke / Sephus.
