Fake Players

[Carlos 0]

I'm playing RagnarokOffline given by anacondaq here Ragnarok Offline Newbie Pack 2022 | Make your RO server in less then 5 minutes - Client-Side Releases - Hercules Board. I've made some simple changes on items and mobs to get a more fun playthrough, but i'm really missing a sense of population in the game. To deal with this I really wanted to create a friendly mob that looks like another player.

Tried to follow the steps on this Custom Mobs - Hercules Wiki, but the guide is based on mob_avail.txt. I have included some mercenaries to act like a friendly mobs using their base ID's and SpriteName's on mob_db.conf, but i really wanna be capable to do this with mobs that have player's sprites.

Beside that, on the guide i never really understand what and how i have to change the Client side.

 

Can someone give me a guide for this or more instructions?

Most of the server abuse using @afk, maybe you can use this plugin and create multiple accounts and put players in AFK mode.

If you are looking to make monsters look like players, but still be a monster (like mob_avail used to do), use "ViewData" field in mob_db.conf. This field was created to replace mob_avail.txt and is equivalent to it, but better for reading/setting up

What ID and Sprite Name should i use in this case? Like, for mercenaries i have wroted like that (using the base ID and SpriteName for each base mercenarie in the game):

{
    Id: 6024
    SpriteName: "MER_ARCHER08"
    Name: "Hiyori"
    Lv: 50
    Hp: 2500
    Sp: 1
    Exp: 0
    JExp: 0
    AttackRange: 9
    Attack: [312, 554]
    Def: 25
    Mdef: 25
    Stats: {
        Str: 0
        Agi: 130
        Vit: 60
        Int: 0
        Dex: 160
        Luk: 75
    }
    ViewRange: 11
    ChaseRange: 13
    Size: "Size_Medium"
    Race: "RC_DemiHuman"
    Element: ("Ele_Neutral", 1)
    Mode: { 
        CanMove: true
        Assist: true
        Aggressive: true
        CastSensorIdle: true
        CanAttack: true
        CastSensorChase: true
        ChangeChase: true
        ChangeTargetMelee: true
        ChangeTargetChase: true
    }
    MoveSpeed: 160 
    AttackDelay: 476 
    AttackMotion: 648 
    DamageMotion: 432 
    Drops: {
       
    }
}

 

Then after the Drops i have to use the ViewData part right?

 

After that i just set a spawn for the mercenaries on the maps that i want like:

pay_dun00,112,24,0,0    monster    Mina    6017,1,0,0,0{,0,1}

 

The point is, i don't know what ID and SpriteName i have to use on the case of mobs using the ViewData part, and if it's necessary another step on Client Side.

Yes, SpriteId is the sprite you are copying from.

 

SpriteName is the sprite/unique name for this monster you are creating now.

ViewData / SpriteId is the sprite you are copying the image from.

 

So if you want your mercenary to look like a Knight (Id = 7), SpriteId = 7 should work ( from https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/blob/stable/db/constants.conf#L83 )

 

It has been ages since I last used that... but I don't think you need to touch client

I've made it. Thanks for the help. Just updating to be registered here on forum:

 

{

ID: 20000 (I've put a value beyond 20000 to subsequent fake players created)

SpriteName: "TEST" (name for the monster i'm creating now)

.

.

.

ViewData: {
        SpriteId: 0 (ID of the job that i want for this fake player)

.

.

}
