TL;DR: If you're a newbie, and want to launch a Hercules emulator and try it in 5 mins, just download everything here, extract, run OpenServer, Copy client files to kRO folder, run emulator, run client, login and play or do whatever you want to do. This pack already pre-configured and compiled, you need not do anything here, just download, extract, run.

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:

Spoiler

I already made for your 2 accounts (with administrator privileges, and just simple player)

Accounts:
login: admin
pass: 123456

login: player
pass: 123456

If you want to add an extra account (create a new one).
Open game client, in LogOn field, enters your login for your account what you want to register.
Then, after login name add _M (for male account sex) or _F (for female account sex)
And in password field enter your password what you want to have on this account.
Now press enter, and it will create your account.

In other words:
LogOn field:
Login: myuser_M
pass: mypassword

If you will do it. You will create an account `myuser` with password: `mypassword`.
Simple, is not it? You need none control panel for registration, it will work like that.

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

You just have to compile your server before you run it.

Sorry How do I do that? with visual studio?

Thank you so much! It worked perfectly!

anacondaq · August 18, 2019

links and emulator and everything in the package has been upgraded to the latest versions and applied the latest patches, everything tested and works perfectly fine.

Altair86 · August 19, 2019

Great job. But there are some bugs. My chars can't enter back part of Criatura Academy, behind the receptionist's table. And when chars enter the right room on the second floor of academy, they absolutely can't move.

Altair86 · August 20, 2019

And a little question. A monster behaviour and stats are differ from last official server I have played (euRO R.I.P.). Where is the best and most corresponding with kRO db, for correcting mistakes in mob_db.conf (and maybe in mob_skill_db.conf)? iRO Wiki or ratemyserver or maybe anything else?

P.S. Maybe troubles are not with mob_db. Maybe wrong damage formula is applied? I have very low dmg from monsters. For example, Orc Warrior deals me (low-lvl archer) near 30 dmg.

So I've recently moved to try using this instead of your previous rAthena release (because you're obviously not supporting that one any more, and I think most of my work can transfer over to this), but in both cases I've run into the same issue; OpenServer refuses to run, and currently doesn't produce very helpful logs. I just get the following:

2019-08-21 00:28:16  --------------------------------------------

2019-08-21 00:28:57  Server has successfully stopped in 0.547 seconds!

MySQL logs reveal the following:

error: Found option without preceding group in config file: w:\modules\database\MySQL-5.6\my.ini at line: 1
Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted

And running OpenServer in debug mode gives me the following for nginx, one of the things that's apparently failing to start:

w:\modules\http\Nginx-1.12>"w:\modules\http\Nginx-1.12\nginx.exe" -c "w:\modules\http\Nginx-1.12\conf\nginx.conf"
nginx: [alert] could not open error log file: CreateFile() "logs/error.log" failed (3: The system cannot find the path s
pecified)

w:\modules\http\Nginx-1.12>PAUSE
Press any key to continue . . .

But neither really tell me what's going wrong. The only setting I've changed in OpenServer is to run it in debug mode, to get the above, and I have installed the extra files to try using if it didn't run (just in case, to check if that was the issue; it DOES start, but doesn't get anywhere).

Do you (or anyone, really) have any idea what might be causing this? The rAthena version of this project ran fine last time I played with it, which was around four months ago. I did for a time have a shared folder on a NAS device mapped to W, but noticing the possible conflict removed the mapped drive. It still hasn't worked and I'm running out of things to temporarily disable to see if it's the issue.

Altair86 · August 21, 2019

There is no Lasagna and Rock Ridge sailors in Izlude & Alberta. Only labels above empty places. When I created a cat char, he appears on island with sunken ship, near Izlude. And he needs a lot of porings for 1% of 1st job lvl. Maybe job exp chart for summoners is broken.

Please, next time add /where the output (enter the command to the chat) to display where are you now. Because without a map and coordinates of the map where you stand, it's very hard to understand the problem that you said.

Confirm, I did not know it earlier. I hope the admins will implement so important parts of the episode soon.

Which dungeon? Tell me the map or better give a link. Yes, some content is luck here, but I hope with a time everything missing will be added. As I see not too much missing, I can't promise, but maybe someday when I have really free time, I can dig in and implement missing parts if someone will not do it before me.

In settings try to change webserver port from 80 to 91, from 443 to 447, and try again. Also, you can change what to load, and change nginx to apache for example. Also, you need to install process hacker and check, maybe some app bound to a port what used by a OpenServer (3306, 80, 443)

Altair86 · August 24, 2019

anacondaq, thank you for answer.

OK, I describe problems more exactly.

Maps

Criatura Academy F1 (iz_ac01): 91, 44. I can't move to (91,45). Cells are marked as walkable (they are green-square highlighted under cursor).

I found a method to move the back part of the academy: if I pass between two tables, I can do it. But moving in this location seems as an "invisible labyrinth".

Criatura Academy F2 104,27 (right portal upstairs). I am entering the portal, appearing on the 2nd floor and can't move. If I left the game and login again, i appear in the room on the F2 near 66,168. And I can walking in the room, but can't left the room. In the thief trainer room is same situation: I can't left the room (can't go from line x=83 to line x =84). (iz_ac_02) 83, 138, for example - can't move 84, 138.

Prontara near 140,60, has an "invisible labyrinth" too. There is wide space between houses, cells seems walkable, but I can't pass through.

Monster Attack problems.

For example, Orc Warrior. THe file monster_db_conf says: Attack: [71, 33]. As I understand, it means attack between 71 and (71+33). Irowiki says 71-104, OK. Divine-Pride says 132 - 161 . Hmm. On EuRO damage from orcs was 100+. Iro differs from EuRo or irowiki lies? UPD: irowiki lies, on iRO orcs inflict 100+dmg.

And when I set Attack to [71, 0],damage still has variance. With 8 vitdef my character receives ~50-70 dmg. It is strange.

Monster Behaviour.

Non-assist Hornets and non-aggressive Familiars. Maybe it is a bug, maybe feature of latest Korean patches, I don't know.

Edited August 24, 2019 by Altair86

Altair86 · August 24, 2019

Is any way exists to obtain real data about monster stats on iRO(the only official server that is accessible for me)? Data from irowiki and from divine-pride are different.

Altair86 · August 25, 2019

On athena version, real mob dmg is same with iRo (tested on porings and lunatics, on hercules they were really weaker). But renewal attack values in mob_db.txt are the same with hercules values in mob_db.conf. How may it be? Lunatic deals ~20 dmg to novice on iro & athena, but ~10 on herc.

August 25, 2019

for stats you should check only kRO because hercules follow only it

Altair86 · August 27, 2019

A strange thing. I created second account and successfully connected to the game from second computer. But my characters from different accounts can't see each other O_o Every player has his own copy of the world (but they can send messages to each other). Can this problem be solved? Or it's a feature of this project?

UPD: The problem is solved, It's a feature of Izlude and a map under Prontera. At Prontera we can see each other.

Great Anacondaq and other developers are great too!!! I can play Ragnarok with my wife !
