    Ragnarok Urban Legend, Believe it or not?

    in rAthena General

    Posted

    Legend of the beans. LOL.

    P.S: Come here to Philippines if you want to see a TRUE ghost, some other countries don't believe in ghost i swear guys, come visit here*

    We got paranormal staff in here if you want to come :))

     

    whenever you want, come and stay in my house, i've always wondered if I should do something like Paranormal Activity thing, because if i do it and eventually see shit happening which I know it happened but i didnt want to see, then i'll panic and either be hunted to death or idk

    External Chat - Anyone?

    Hello,

     

    Quite an interesting post you did there and great feedback.

    You mentioned one key point: Spammers. Which is a great deal, I mean, who wouldn't want to just get online and promote another server? You don't have to download any client-related stuff, quite an easy task. But as I get more feedback and eventually start to make this live, Every key point would be taken into consideration.

     

    Like I mentioned, the servers who want to have this app, would require an auth patch between the app/server and of course, the server would have to patch some stuff for the communication to work out. I guess I could add anti-whatever when they apply the patch. 

    I mean, this is just the eaaaaaaaaaarly stage of the app and its one of the key aspects of developing one, getting feedback. 

     

    So to answer your questions:

     

    - Yeah I wanna work on this, but before I do so, you gotta plan things.

    - No. I want to have this to be closed source and if anyone is planning on developing extra features, would have to get access. I mean, don't get me wrong, OpenSource is great but things are done better when its private. This means that I plan to either sell licenses to use this app (since its gonna be server-based) or idk, something will come up. I'd have to really get convinced that opensource is the way to go, to actually pick it, but as of now, Closed source it is.

    - Android at first, but once an android version is developed, porting it to iOS wouldnt be an issue. If I get enough people to support this, we could've 2 teams developing each section.

    - You're welcome to send me a PM and we can keep exchanging ideas. 

     

    Greetings,

    External Chat - Anyone?

    Have you tried the IRC system?

     

    Well, who doesnt and we still use different ways to communicate with people (Skype, Facebook, IM, Forums, SMS, WhatsApp, etc...) so your comment is as redundant as the amount of ways people use to communciate with each other.

     

    Even tho the basic idea is to allow the end user to chat with someone through her/his smartphone or desktop/laptop, without having to load the whole ragnarok client, a lot of additions could be done like, allowing you to trade, check your inventory, sell, etc... thats why I said, the amount of possibilities that could be done is enormous and just because I'm pointing out the basic feature of chatting, doesnt means thats gonna be only that (well it will, in the first steps).

    Hello,

     

    A few days ago I sent someone an application and while I was answering some questions, a big thing came into my head but I don't know if its gonna be worth my time soooo I wanna know some of your opinions.

     

    The idea is to develop an app (mobile/desktop) which enables you, as the end user, to log in to it using X or Y server as the auth method and chat with your friends (the ones you got in your list) while you are not online (you know what I mean). Idk, I mean, we are in the "i wanna chat all the time"-era and this aint a bad idea, but I don't wanna dive into it without having some public interested.

     

    The auth method would be totally based on the server you're trying to log in to. So the app won't handle any data and if anything, it will obscure it. Imagine a Messenger but with RO and unlimited amount of servers you could join to chat with people you know. Not only that but we could actually make a whole chat-world using Ragnarok as a world-wide community.

     

    For example and to expand my idea a bit further:

     

    - The main goal for now is to make an app in which you can use your credentials to log in and chat with friends of the server you're logging in. Of course to enjoy this, X or Y server would have to be affiliated to the App. This might be selective but it would empower the usage of X or Y server and not only that, its an awesome feature that a lot of people would enjoy.

    - The second step would to use the chat system to actually be a "chat system". Using your smartphone, you could just go in and say Hi to everyone who's online just as if you were "online".

    - Mang the amount of possibilities (not only chat-wise but a ton load of stuff) that could be done is huge! but for now, I would like to have some feedback on this.

     

    I'd be happy to read anyone's feedback D:

    Hello,

     

    Well I currently work in Halliburton and well I'll buy a dedi with the following caracteristics:

     

    - Quad-Core X3430 2.4GHz

     

    - 32GB DDR3

     

    - 500GB SATAIII

     

    - 5.000 GB Bandwidth/100 Mpbs port.

     

    Thing is, I'm just gonna use some of it for an application im developing, thus leaving, i dont know like 70-80% of it being just there, doing nothing. What I mean with this is that I wont be using it much so alot of the processing power will be thrown away so I wanna "sell" its usage, we could virtualize it OR if someone is looking for such processing power and speed for a project, let me know.

     

     I mean, im just looking forward for someone or a group of people that are venturing in any special project and have no monetary resources to acquire a server at the moment which could use this and in which I could be a partner of. Thats pretty much it.

    Milestones

    in Source Discussion

    Posted

    One of the major pitfalls of other forks of eAthena is that they tend to dive straight into developing new content. The belief, apparently, is that if you don't develop new content immediately then people will lose interest in the forked emulator. This is a lot of crock. One of the major concerns right now is to re-work a lot of the eAthena code to improve our code-base, and to fix up the plentiful bugs that still exist within the source. For example, once my coursework period is over I will be committing the status database update (which converts source-specific status settings to a modifiable database format.) This is the kind of change that eAthena has been waiting to see for a few years now, but was never completed.

    If anything, one of the milestones should be 'fix that crazy eAthena crap up', or even 'step up the source game', but since fixing bugs isn't really considered a milestone, we'll just slowly integrate new content while we build around the existing codes and try to improve the functionality of the emulator

    Finally.

    So yeah, I'm not in pro either of adding stuff without fixing the current ones. Theres no use of adding and keep adding and just add a huge load of crap if the base trembles at any possible interaction beween each function.

    I'd say the most important milestone as of now is a total eACrap cleanup and optimization, along this, a full documentation on rA's source should be done. I keep saying this because people don't know the importance of a proper documentation.

    I've said it once and I'll say it again, eA's source is so messed up, it really needs a rewrite.

    This takes time but I'm sure everyone will be most than welcomed to wait for a proper step-by-step rewrite. Functions could be optimized. Packets would be much easier to capture and thus, understand, there wouldn't be redundant functions doing almost the exact thing but for a different file.

    So yeah, thats what all of you should be focusing right now. You got Renewal, good job, you good 3rds (not finished but still...), good job, but you are still working on a deprecated and non-solid emulator as eAthena is (Says the XXXX amount of bugs in it).

    I'm having the reps ups, zoooh, i'll get tha ladies mang!
