[Unauthorized AndRO usage by Skyzone Hosting]

Apologies for bringing up this topic once again. I would like to contribute my thoughts on the matter.

I came across some comments that seemed quite ignorant, such as criticizing the pricing as absurd and placing the blame on the developer for not securing their app or protecting their copyright. However, it's important to recognize that the creator has the right to establish their own rules, and as responsible individuals, we should respect them. Acting ethically means understanding that just because we have the ability to do something doesn't mean we should.

In the past, I had the opportunity to work with Chris when SolaceRO was still active. Although I could have decompiled the APK and made modifications, I chose to honor his work and compensate him fairly for his efforts by following the proper process and paying the fees. The amount requested was reasonable, and it could easily be recovered through donations, particularly considering how donation-oriented Philippine servers tend to be. Therefore, it shouldn't be viewed as a significant obstacle.

Once again, the key point here is about ethics and respecting someone's work. If the developer explicitly states that redistribution is prohibited, it is our duty to adhere to that. By doing so, we demonstrate respect, even though I don't have high expectations for developers in the Philippines, given the unfortunate tendency for server instability, corruption, and abrupt closures.

I also came across a comment accusing Chris of releasing an unreleased sprite of Haziel. During the early stages of AndRO, grf encryption was not available, so if you had AndRO around 2019 or so, it's possible that another player stole your sprite.
 

[rAthena Gui in Windows]

Great work, but nobody uses Windows for production. 

[[Proposal] Remote NPC script loading]

Sounds risky. The lack of access to the source code poses a significant security risk (e.g. leaving backdoor access or sql queries that can be injected). 

Perhaps rA could have a code review committee that will only publish scripts in the marketplace that have been reviewed and tested to be error-free and exploit-free.

Great idea nevertheless.

[[w0w] Advanced Maps Project]

Great release!

[Gepard - whitelist to enable botting.]

The server owner can create an API for you that fetches the vending data. Stop making it complicated, haha.

[PK points to be account bound instead of char bound]

if( countstr( implode( @killed$, "|" ), ""+killedrid, 0 ) <= .rstrk_l ) {
        #pk_points++;
        dispbottom "You've gained one point! Your total is ["+pk_points+"] PK point(s).";
    }

Use goto function if you wish to redirect the players to another menu or message. 

[Poring Race [ Error ] : buildin_getmapxy:]

Just change the function, checkevent. Find a workaround to prevent players from joining when the race is ongoing.

[Episode 5: Mob Spawn and Mob Database]

Hello, everyone!

I'm Lynx of SolaceRO. I'm sharing our old database that's worth 1 month of research and application. I used to own SorinRO back in 2016. It's at episode 6 when it died.

In our database, we have corrected the mob stats, drop, and spawns. Please keep in mind that this is not 100% accurate to the official server. 

I have used the following references:

1. Leaked Aegis files for RussiaRO and MalaysiaRO
2. WoE and Juno Guidebook (based on PhilippineRO)
3. Old emulators (Fusion, Vidar, Freya, jAthena, etc.)

P.S. Use it at your own risk. Review the files before implementing.

@Sehrentos Can you share the final code? I'm having problems with points sharing for 2nd++ members.

Nevermind, it was a stupid mistake. I overlooked the "end;" on my script.

Hello @Sehrentos

Thank you very much for your help. It totally worked!

@Sehrentos Can you share the final code? I'm having problems with points sharing for 2nd++ members.

Post the whole script here.

[Regarding Private RO Server]

Buy a host and upload your files there.

[Auto Reward Guild Members]

If you will read the documentation, you'll understand how to do it. I suggest that you read it instead of asking others to finish it for you. 

Here's the link to getguildmember script command, that should do the trick.

[Reward IP BASE]

if(strcharinfo(2) != $koegid) end; // if the character is not from the guild
goto GetReward;
break;

GetReward:
query_sql("SELECT last_ip FROM `login` WHERE account_id = "+getcharid(3)+"", .@IP$);
query_sql("SELECT account_id FROM `login` WHERE last_ip = '"+.@IP$+"'", .@AID);

if(getarraysize(.@AID) > 1) end; // If more than 1 account_id shares the same IP
getitem 600,1;
end;

Just make them talk to an NPC with this function. This is the simplest way to do it. I hope it helps. ~

You should directly message Functor on Skype. If you've legitimately bought your license, you should have his Skype ID. 

[Server running into AWS]

Why would you use it? It's only advisable for session-based games. 

For open-world MMORPG like Ragnarok Online, it's just a waste of money.

You're welcome.

Update your mmo.h, make sure the client date is set properly. Check your packet_db as well.

Make sure your mmo.h is set to your client's date. Check your db/packet_db.txt as well.

Try diffing your client with "Remove Hourly Announce."

[No "login"]

Your server won't run if login table's missing.

If it's really missing, please run this sql query.
