  1. Hey guys, it's been a long time!  Not sure if anyone remembers me.  I noticed there was no topic about Ragnarok M and was wondering if anyone here is playing?  Maybe we could share our IGN's here and meet in-game.

    I have 2 characters:

    Jaki - Priest

    Emperius - Merch

  2. just a few point that I want to ask related "Graphic-related (Loading screens, sprites, maps)"

    there is no other regulation for kind of this stuff? like, "the art should be original artwork", "should provide vector file"?

     

    and, I wonder why, the only non-staff as contributor for this topic, only nanakiwurtz (is nanakiwurtz has paid service topic? no?)

     

    Amended my post with your suggestions. 

  3. Hello,
     
    On behalf of the rAthena staff, I'd like to announce a few changes regarding our Paid Services section!
    The following has changed for Paid Services:
     
    Added 4 new prefixes:
    (Prefixes are now mandatory)
    -General (server setup? etc)
    -Coding (source, script, web)
    -Graphics (media)
    -Hosting
     
    Revised/Added rules:
    • Any 'Paid Service' owner will now have to make at least one useful contribution to rAthena
      • A 'contribution' may be a commit to our repo, or a public release.  It should be something substantial and adds value to rAthena.
      • E.g. Maps, sprites, loading screens, code may be counted.  For general images, please have them be related to rAthena. You can also contribute code to our FluxCP branch (pm Akkarin first).
      • One contribution will be enough for all of the services you provide.

     

     

     

     

    Some clarifications regarding Contributions:

    • All art should be original works, owned by you.
    • PSD's and/or original files should be provided.
    • Contributions will be weighed.
      • E.g., a single loading screen does not carry the same weight as a pull request that fixes 2 bug reports or a pull request that fixes some documentation within our repo, or even a bunch of wiki edits.
    • You may make any contribution that you believe will benefit the project, for example, you may contribute to:

    Additional clarification: while your previous/past contributions are greatly appreciated, this rule has been designed to require a new contribution that you have given to the community since the rule has been imposed (4th Feb).

     

    Due to the 'Paid Service' rule changes, all current services will be placed into a pending forum and those users will be given roughly a month to respond; meaning:

    • From Feb 4 - Feb 28, they can commit or send their pull request. (we will accept substantial contributions from 1st feb onwards)
    • On March 1, those who did NOT commit in Feb will have their topic moved to Rejected Ads, with a reasoning as to why it was rejected.

     

     

    Please reply to your own Paid Service thread with links and descriptions of your contribution. An Administrator will look over them shortly afterwards :)

    Clarified contribution weights [Maki]

  4. Hello,

     

    rAthena forums will be down for 1 hour starting at 7 PM EST (which is in about 3.5 hours from this post)!  We will be updating IPB to 3.4.6 and updating a lot of the mods/apps we use on these forums as well.  Please notify us if you see anything broken after 8 PM (EST) :D!

     

    PS: I'd like to thank Yommy & Lighta for making all of this possible!!

     

    EDIT: All forum applications and hooks upgraded to the latest version. [Akkarin]

  5. A noob-friendly tutorials will be appreciated  /ok

    Ya this would be awesome, also with git i can add my own custom releases in a fork right? I wonder how, I'm to lazy to look up atm maybe ill look later if no one answers~

     

    Yes that would be possible!  I split the the above two posts from the original topic (so we did not get too off-topic).

  6. Fork & Pull Request on rAthena

     

    >>>> Fork & Make New Pull Request <<<<

     

    >>>> How to update your fork <<<<

     

     




     

    Introducing (a short guide to) GitHub Pull Requests

     

     

    Submitting a Pull Request

     

    1.  Once you've commited and squashed your changes, push them to your remote like this:

    git push origin newfeature 

    2.  Then go to that page on GitHub and change branches to the one for your new feature.

     

    aAd2v.png

    Submit a Pull Request!

     

     

    3.  Then, click on the little button that says 'Pull Request'. This will bring you to a page asking you to describe your change. Describe it thoroughly.

    5Euiy.png
    Describe your Pull Request.

     

     

    4.  Then press 'Submit Pull Request'.

     

     

    Now, you're not quite done yet. If the maintainer finds some problems with your code, they won't want to pull your changes until you fix them. Fortunately, whenever you commit and push more things to that branch of your code, they will be included in that pull request until it is closed.

     

     

    Accepting And Merging a Pull Request

     

    If you're on the receiving end of a pull request, how do you merge the changes?

    Easy - press the button! GitHub now has an auto-merge button which does everything for you in one click. However, it doesn't always work, in which case you'll have to do the merge on your own machine, like so:

    
    

    And then their changes will be properly merged into your main master branch.

     

     

    So, Your Pull Request Was Rejected. Now What?

    Qyyh5.gif
    Some forks are unavoidable.

     

    Sometimes, for technical or organizational reasons, your pull request will be rejected. This can feel really frustrating, and there are a few different ways you can proceed. Just remember to act rationally.

     

    The simplest thing is to simply accept their judgement. It's their project, and a good maintainer knows when to say "no." If their argument is logically sound, you should accept it. If you don't think it's a particularly important feature, hopefully whoever is looking at the project will check the Network and Issues tabs of the upstream project and will notice your changes.

  8. Hello, It's been a while!
     
    Within the past few days rAthena has gone through another round of changes and we just wanted to inform everyone on what is going on (as some of you may have noticed already).

     

     


     

    Community Participation Badges

     

    We have have been working on this for a while and decided it was time to implement our very own Awards system.  It is a 'for fun' mod, similar to an achievement system, and meant to to encourage people to give back to the community.

     

     

    About the badges

    • There are two kinds of badges: Normal and Unique.
      • Normal community participation badges can be attained by everyone (shown below).
      • Unique community participation badges are given to only a few people and typically unprecedented.
    • Normal badges use a leveling system
      • There are three levels: Lv 1, 2, and 3.
      • Each level has its own unique art.
      • ​E.g. "Bug Reporter" rank 1 has 10 confirmed bug reports, next rank has 20, next rank has 30 and so on.

     

     

    How do I obtain one

     

    There are currently two ways of gaining a badge: nominate someone (including yourself) or receive a nomination.

    • E.g. user Bob wants the Bug Reporter badge, he has to send an application stating what award he's going for and proof that he has 10 confirmed bug reports. After it is approved, the badge will be added to his profile.

    Arcenciel's Resignation

     

    Arcenciel decided to step down as Community Administrator as of March 2nd, 2013.  He stated that he no longer has the time to perform his duties.  On behalf of the staff, I'd like to thank you for everything you've done and have taken care of!

     

    Enjoy your apple.

    Development Archives

     

    Just a small note to inform everyone: We have recently begun to clean up our staff development forum; a bunch of topics were moved from our staff forums into the public archives (rAthena Development Archives).  We would like to start becoming more transparent and allow more insight as to what goes on behind the curtains.

     

     

     

    Downloads rule change

     

     

     

    We have changed our policy on uploading sprite edits to rAthena Downloads.  You can now upload any recolours or sprite edits of Gravity's sprites; meaning all those poring recolours we denied before will now be approved.

     

     

    VI. Sprite Edits
    Sprite “edits” are not allowed unless they show true originality (i.e.: obviously from scratch) or you have express written consent to edit or recolour the sprite from the original author (proof may be required). If you do not have the author's consent, then the file is not allowed.  

    • Sprites must state that the file is an edit or recolour and credit the original author. 
    • Recolours and edits of Gravity sprites may be uploaded without credits or consent of the original author.

  9. The whole point of being an emulator is making yourself work nearly identically to the official. As it appears right now, rA is not that at all; To me rA seems more like "Here's your custom server suite package, use it to mix and match pre/re and make a completely unique RO server".

    Isn't that one of there reasons people play in private servers for? To have a completely unique RO experience, if people wanted the original they'd just play in the officials. iRO is free to play.

    No matter how much argument is made about this or how much logical sense there is to it..It's not probable that a majority of the community is going to support it. People like having options.

    It was rejected a few(?) times previously; the one I moved was not the first of these suggestions.

    I personally love that people can mix and match however they choose and setup whatever style server they like; it definitely adds more options to a 10+ year old game now. Personally, I'd be against the removal of pre-renewal or even a branch split, not to mention we have more pressing issues to worry about (like Renewal ATK =p).

    On another note: the argument that it becomes more work if we have two branches is completely dismissed if we also move to git. If a dev is implementing a change in the RE branch that also needs to be in the pre branch. They can push it to the RE branch and then have the Pre branch pull / merge it. Git handles all of it, no need to worry about copy-pasting code over to the other branch. It's no additional work at all.

    This would/could be a good idea but considering the history of *athena it will never work! Branches are almost always brushed off to the side to the point that no one cares for them anymore. People would just develop Renewal and Pre-RE would rot away until it breaks compatibility and then everyone would be too lazy to fix it because it would be too much work (even if it is a simple push/pull request).

  10. Currently there are no plans to split Pre-RE/RE; thanks for all the input provided in this topic though!

    Deep Forest nailed it though:

    Just throwing away pre-renewal does not optimises the developer's time. Time is relative, if has the fix, will be fixed. There is right now 140 issues that need more information of how to works. If you want to help them with their work, select one of those and go to official servers to do some research about the official mechanics needed to know, don't throw other's work and effort to the junk.
