Do you have very old clients or emulators lying around? Maybe that old hard drive with RO stuff? How about those old CD-Rs on the shelf? Or are you simply a RO data hoarder? WE WANT YOU! Hi, I’m vit. I’m developing along with o oldinroplayer a *Ragnarok Online Cross-Episode Database*, called RagnaDB. It’s a db in which you’re able to choose a specific episode and we’ll show you all the info precisely as it was back in the day. The idea is for it to be the “one RO database to rule them all”. For this to exist, there’s a great deal of historical research and digital data scavenging involved. Since we’re committed to historical accuracy, we’re on a journey to finding old files (client and server) to feed the db with, as well as (old) reliable sources for data validation. If you were waiting for the right moment to shine and looking for a group of people who will truly appreciate and see value in those dozens of RO gigabytes collecting dust like no one ever had, this is the moment! We’ll love to have you! If any of the words above piqued your interest, you’re more than welcome here. Join our Discord to hear about the latest updates or just hang around!

I hackily solved this on the source side. A side effect of my solution is that it shows extra damage numbers (but the multihit total is still correct, and the extra damage numbers are visual only). My solution: In the "display damage" switch block in skill_attack: case CG_ARROWVULCAN: case AS_SONICBLOW: { dmg.dmotion = clif_skill_damage(dsrc, bl, tick, dmg.amotion, dmg.dmotion, damage, dmg.div_, skill_id, flag & SD_LEVEL ? -1 : skill_lv, dmg_type, dmg.crit); struct unit_data* ud = unit_bl2ud(dsrc); if (ud) { ud->dmg = dmg; ud->sb_animation = 0; ud->sb_target = bl->id; ud->sb_timer = add_timer(gettick()+20, skill_sonicblow_animation, dsrc->id, 0); } break; } ↑ This plays the default SB animation, sets up some data, then adds a new timer function. Here's the code for the timer_func it adds: TIMER_FUNC(skill_sonicblow_animation){ struct block_list *target, *src; struct unit_data *ud; struct status_change *sc = NULL; int flag = 0; src = map_id2bl(id); if(src == NULL) { return 0; } ud = unit_bl2ud(src); if(ud == NULL) { return 0; } target = map_id2bl(ud->sb_target); if (!target || ud->sb_animation >= ud->dmg.div_ || ud->sb_timer == INVALID_TIMER) { ud->sb_animation = 0; ud->sb_timer = INVALID_TIMER; return 0; } int div_ = ud->dmg.div_; if (div_ < 1) { div_ = 1; } t_tick canmove = tick_diff(ud->canmove_tick, tick); canmove /= (div_-ud->sb_animation); if (canmove > 175) { canmove = 175; } clif_damage(src, target, tick, 125, ud->dmg.dmotion/div_, ud->dmg.damage/div_, div_, DMG_NORMAL, ud->dmg.damage2/div_, ud->dmg.isspdamage); ud->sb_animation++; ud->sb_timer = add_timer(tick+canmove, skill_sonicblow_animation, id, data); return 1; } ↑ This just sets up some damage then calls clif_damage, and sets up another timer func to keep it going until sb_animation reaches skill's div count. To be clear this will work for any multiattack that you want to have spam auto attacks, not just SB. Sorry for the naming scheme. The extra damage numbers are customizable by changing what you pass to the clif_damage call. You can set it to all 1s, or all misses, or anything else. Unfortunately I never found a way to implement this without the extra numbers—I'm not sure how to force the client to arbitrarily play an auto attack animation with no corresponding damage numbers. If someone knows, I'd be interested. and in the unit_data struct: int sb_animation, sb_target, sb_timer; // hacky sb animation fix ↑ just some state data, ud seemed like the best place to put it so that it works on both mobs and players. This produces a sonic blow like in the attached file. also viewable here: https://mikomiko.org/files/Screencast_20240512_005716.webm It's not perfect but I'm happy enough with it for now.
