What is that?
This is a newbie package that contains 1 click solution for launching Hercules emulator with a single click.
This package only for education. Do not use this package anywhere in production.
This package good demonstration of how everything should be configured by yourself to make it work.
We can find here a good guide on how to configure everything by yourself:
http://herc.ws/board/topic/16521-how-to-setup-offline-server-for-personal-development-use/
What inside the package?
You have 7 folders:
01_emulator = here emulators (pre-compiled and pre-configured) for RENEWAL or classic PRERE mechanics
02_client_side = here is your client-side what need to copy-paste to your clean kRO client
03_openserver = here is Open Server (MySQL server where stored your game database and which required by the emulator)
04_useful_tools = here are different useful tools that you usually will need when will work with the emulator or databases
05_misc_repos = here are repositories from which it has built the client-side, and exe patched.
06_cmder = this is a tool will be good for you to update the emulator to the latest version (and other files in misc_repos)
07_clean_kRO_client = this is a clean kRO client (2018 somewhere in march updated), need for you to run your own RO copy.
How to use all of this?
extract files inside 01_emulator, 02_client_side, 03_openserver, 07_clean_kRO_client
Now, what emulator version do you need? Latest (current official servers) (renewal mechanic (suras, dorams, etc classes)) or classic PRE-re (champion, high wizard, high priest)?
Now if for example, you use PRERE mechanic (where is high wizard class, paladin, lord knights, and no 3rd classes) your steps are next:
a.) go to 02_client_side\FOR_PRERE_EMULATOR\
b.) select all files in this folder (FOR_PRERE_EMULATOR) and copy (CTLR+C)
c.) now go to 07_clean_kRO_client/clean_kRO_client/ folder and copy files here (overwrite if windows explorer will ask to do that).
d.) now you need to run OpenServer (it's a server that stores all your player's data inside the database, required by the emulator) and run it.
e.) Click on Red Flag -> Run the server, make sure in your tray you got Green Flag.
f.) Now go to 01_emulator\hercules_PRERE\ and run: run-server.bat
g.) Now go to your 07_clean_kRO_client/clean_kRO_client/ and run: 2018-04-18bRagexeRE_patched.exe
Your emulator, your database, and the client are running. Now you can try to login into the game.
About Accounts:
How to make a GM account or how to access the database?
For that, you need to click on Green Flag -> Advanced -> PHPMYADMIN
In the login field of PHPMyAdmin enter: "root", in the password field enter nothing. (no password)
Press enter or login, and you will be in the database.
Databases well structured, so mostly always you need not edit too much there.
How to make a GM account?
You opened PHPMYADMIN.
Now select your database, and find in this database table called: "login"
Open this table, and find your account name, and you will see column "group_id".
Edit number in this column (group_id) to 99.
0-99 = your GM level. 99 = super admin with all privilegies, 0 = simple player with no privieleges.
Okay, everything working for me, what can I do next?
My short answer: http://herc.ws/board/
Read all topics, read different guides, read info about NPCs
Read info how to add NPCs, how to enable them, how to disable them
Read /doc/ folder files inside your emulator folder
Read wiki pages: https://herc.ws/wiki/Main_Page
Do experiments and do not afraid to destroy everything or remove them.
Just do mistakes and errors, it's how people learning something new, through mistakes.
DO not afraid to do a lot of mistakes and ask questions.
People will help you if you will try to help yourself first and will make good questions with some research before posting messages.
What tools can I use for making everything much easier for me?
Tools that you MUST have:
- Grf Editor
- Server Database Editor
- VSCode / Notepad++ / Sublime Text / Atom (any of these editors and select always C syntax highlight for opened files)
I want to play with my friends on my server
The solution that you will find by the link below is a terrible solution.
But usable for a small group of people who for education only want to launch their server ONLINE (for others).
This is SUPER bad, and never do that, (it's weird, after the only time you will understand why).
But if you still asking here is the link: https://gist.github.com/anacondaq/3eae8e4afb5d3c3880d08b95b2c54b78

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.
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~!
