Hi,

I am using eAmod as my current emulator and is currently using 2010-07-30 client. I really want to move to Hercules because of it's features and hyper-active Development Team. But since Hercules has a different src coding, I am a little skeptical on moving. Here's some of my questions that needs some answers before I proceed from converting my server to Hercules.

Server files-wise:

  1. Does Hercules supports 100% Pre-Renewal?
  2. Can I use the Cash Shop Support if I am on Pre-Renewal?
  3. Can I enable Kagerou and Oboro even without 3rd Jobs and use Pre-Renewal mechanics?
  4. I have a lot of custom items, does the format changed from eamod to hercules?
  5. Did Hercules removed some item_bonuses?



Client files-wise:

  1. What's the most stable 2012+ client to use and supports Cash Shop Functions and Kagerou / Oboro?
  2. I am currently using 2010-07-30 client, do I need to convert my id2num2* txt files to lua if I want to use a 2012+ clients?
  3. Since Hercules blocks WPE/RPE, will it also block those auto hotkeys?


 
Hello

1.- For the most part and as far as I am aware of, pre-renewal is pretty stable as it has been for the past.. 3 years? There could possibly be more tweaks to do, but the pre-renewal code is pretty much the same for eA/rA/Hercules, so you shouldnt have any major issues there.

2.- The cashshop doesnt have a Renewal specification, as long as your client supports it, you should be fine (Ragexe clients support Cash shop). 

3.- Skills and statuses are available for either version on its most, only times when *Renewal* comes into play is when the formulas for a skill differ. Since Kagerou/Oboro are Renewal exclusive, there is no pre-renewal formula for the skills. They will work given you update your pre-re files acconrdingly (skill_db, job_db, etc)

4.- For the most part, item bonuses don't change much except for a recent commit which updated the name of some Statuses. Shouldn't require a major overhaul of any of your custom items.

5.- As far as I am aware of, only ViariableCastRate/FixedCastRate related additions. 

For the client:

1.- No idea. Cashshop is a Ragexe feature but I personally havnt tried any of those clients afar. Going with something like 20120418 should be good though

2.- You only need to change your item files to lua if you go with a client > 2012-04-18

3.- Hercules anti WPE/RPE works by encrypting packets (It doesnt have anything to do with skill delays or 3rd party software attachment).

Regarding #3, will it require src edits too? or just the db files are fine?

Shouldnt, checked the *some skills* and didnt see any renewal definition which means it doesnt. They will be working for Renewal mechanics though (Which means they could be overpowered if you apply them to pre-renewal mechanics. You'll have to balance them out as you see it fit though and that will require src edits)

Thank you! I guess I can do the skill balancing with pre-renewal.

This thread can be closed now.

 
Eamod is totally suck emulator.  If i can get moneyback, and never buy it, i will do that. Last 2 years all what i do at my own, it's fixing bugs caused by trash code in Eamod. Last few month i following hercules, and i can see a big process in developing. 

Only one option why i still stand on eAmod, it's detailed WoE stats.

 
Detailed WoE stat can be made into a plugin, it's not that hard.

I'm waiting for the Hook update for the HPM system and then i'll try converting some of eAmod stuff into plugins.

 
The only reason why I bought eAmod is for their Battlegrounds. I hope Susu would convert it too

I think it's possible to convert them too, but I didn't look into it ^^.

Depending on what the hook system will allow us to do, evertything could be converted into plugins.

 
Will be great if WoE detailed ranks will be converted for hercules into plugin!
