Hmm.. I have set these conf with 'new_account: yes' and 'char_new: 1' but can't make a new char with charname_M/_F.

Perhaps the way your SQL server is setup somehow interferes with you being able to create accounts through _M/_F

What type of server did you choose upon creation? What DB type are you using? InnoDB/MyIsam? Also, it may be an IP related problem.

How is your rAthena connection set up?

@Serap

where i put "lua files" only, sir?

You need to download Shinryo's (Shin's) diff patcher to apply hex edits to your executable that are chosen from a list.

Among them is the option to read lua files before lub files, that option would be checked in my example when patching your client using that tool.

For newer clients you also need to replace an older version of a dll file to allow "skip header obfuscation" in newer client executables.

That file is called "WDGSkipPacketHeaderObfuscation.dll" and is provided by earthlingz.

September 11, 2012

From what I've read on the site you've linked to, I'd say InnoDB is better when hosting a server.

September 9, 2012

Are you set as Pre-renewal or Renewal in your renewal.h ?

sir, i just transfered to rathena just now, where's renewal.h located?

A basic but handy trick you can apply, is to search the folder for whatever file you're looking for by right clicking it and selecting "search".

September 9, 2012

Are you positive you edited the correct job_db1.txt ?

There are two of them, one located in the pre-re folder and one in the re folder.

Depending on the mode you set your server to, one of the two folders is used for your game data.

September 9, 2012

I'm affraid not, even a diff file to your source modifications will last only so long before code eventually gets rewritten or restructured.

I have tried your suggestion, and even try to change the login table and char table, revert them back and try different combination but still doesn't work.

Now my login table uses PK, NN and AI with defaut value of blank not ''

Hmm, that's odd. But I wouldn't know how to fix it otherwise. I'm sorry.

I re-checked my own login table, and it is set exactly the same as you described, I have no clue

as to why it doesn't fix your problem. Also, your rAthena settings are set correctly.

Hmm.. My settings also can't be saved, such as turning off BGM and set /nc in the client, should I change my setup.exe too?

Yes, you need a setup that gets referred to as "blue ghost setup" when using the newer kRO clients (since 2012 I believe).

Also, your client must be diffed with the "read data folder" turned off otherwise your client won't save your changes to the lua files.

I diffed mine with "read lua before lub" turned on, but I'm not 100% certain if that is necessary.

As a matter of fact, I removed the "data" folder from my client since I had no use for it anymore.

September 7, 2012

I speculated that it would indeed be hardcoded in the client, so thanks for confirming that.

I'll look into disassembling the client then.

September 5, 2012

Does anyone know where I can find the texture or process that controls it (I'm referring to player HP bar color)?

I've browsed through the grf files, and they don't seem to contain anything related to that, nor could I find anything

in the lua/lub files containing this.

September 5, 2012

Hmm.. I have set these conf with 'new_account: yes' and 'char_new: 1' but can't make a new char with charname_M/_F.

Is it a server or client problem?

I had the same problem, and figured out that you need to alter the login table in MYSQL Workbench (It's what I use),

You need to check the "auto increment" function in the "account_id" column.

Why this isn't turned on by default after executing the sql script provided by rAthena beats me.

September 2, 2012

any one have make your own custom card? why my custom card sprites insert armor those no appear? normal card those all appear when insert armor those. but effect working. hmm. how to make it appear?

It looks like you have not linked the custom card with the designated sprite.

Be sure to edit the following files accordingly:

- idnum2itemresnametable.txt

- num2itemresnametable.txt

In this fashion:

10000#ÀÌ¸§¾ø´ÂÄ«µå#

Where "10000" is your item ID, and ÀÌ¸§¾ø´ÂÄ«µå happens to be the actual sprite name used for cards, to save you some trouble.

I'd like to settle this once and for all before we start going round in a circle again. I didn't miss your point, I understood it perfectly. However, you chose to interpret my post in a way that makes no logical sense. You cannot move a source file into /config/import/.

a.) It will not be read.

b.) Missing files will break your compile process.

c.) Source files are in the /src/ folder for a reason - because they're source files.

Yes, let's settle it. But in the correct way this time.

I did not "choose" to interpret anything you said in a illogical sense, I was addressing nanakiwurtz with the suggestion to -try it out- in case you -don't know yet-

so that -after trying it out- you will know for sure if it loads, or not.

Wheter you can or cannot load .c or .h from the import folder is of no relevance there, since that would become apparent anyway after performing the test.

So in that respect,

A: Would become apparent after trying my suggestion anyway.

B: I was aiming for the attempt -after- compiling with the correctly named files in the correct places.

C: And tests are there for a reason as well, to figure stuff out. To see what can, and cannot be done.

September 2, 2012

I think you're missing the point of my post. mmo.h will not work in the import folder. The import folder is for the use of import folder files that are already there. You put config switches from /conf/*_athena.conf into /conf/import/*_conf.txt. If you don't know what that means, then you don't need to use them. (though you should learn - there's info on the wiki about it).

No I understood what you ment perfectly, but it appears you missed my point actually. I was basically saying that if you don't know for certain wheter .c or .h extensions can be read from the import folder, you can try to disable the file/files at their original location by renaming them, and attempt to load those files from the import folder instead.

Since I have not tried that out for myself, I suggested to test that out.

The config switches are handy, but they will not cover all of my changes since I have altered source files as well. I suppose some find it mandatory, and others might find it somewhat unnecessary. I haven't found a good enough reason to use the import folder yet, but that may as well change in the future.

After reading posts on http://rathena.org/b...atcher-support/, I see that there're lots of repeating pattern of questions.

Is there a FAQ about server & client?

Have you tried Judas Bible? It covers how to set everything up very well.

September 1, 2012

Disable (rename) mmo.h for example, after putting it in the import folder to check if it loads.

What??!?! No. I highly recommend you don't rename -any- of the files. They're named as they are for a reason, and all of them are referenced sometimes on more than one occasion.

For custom maps, the wiki has this helpful page: http://rathena.org/wiki/Custom_Maps

The wiki also has this helpful category of pages for general customization: http://rathena.org/w...y:Configuration

I totally agree with you, no files should be renamed for serious use of the server.

But for testing purposes it is an optional method to check wheter files with the .h or .c extension will

be read by the import folder, that is all I was saying.

Hmm... renaming mmo.h won't make a difference I think, because it's needed only in compilation process, right?

Btw, do you know where can I learn on how to customize the server? (such as adding new custom maps like this one http://rathena.org/b...om-vending-map/ or this http://rathena.org/b...t-map-by-olrox/)

I always go to wiki first but 'map' search only returns 3 topics.

Yes, the compilation will require the mmo.h file to be unaltered, but after the compilation you could attempt to alter the name and try to load it

from the import folder, although I don't think that will work.

Learning how to add in custom maps and such can be done on this website, just cruise around the forums for a while and you will most likely

discover various topics relating to issues you might run into or have run into, and be able to find answers to most of your questions. If you can't find anything after doing a thorough search, create at topic at the appropriate place on the forum.

September 1, 2012

I'm glad that the forum members are helpful, even to newcomers

Yes SeraphSephiroth, I think the customization part will take the most of our time, I never thought the process was so easy to set up a rAthena server (well, not too easy actually)

When I read this wiki http://rathena.org/wiki/Import_folder, it is said that every value that are saved to that folder are protected from being overwritten when we are updating our SVN, so it means it doesn't necessarily to rename each files for each settings?

1. Can I put values from 'db/packet_db.txt' and 'trunk/char_athena.conf' in a single txt file in import folder?

2. And does import folder works only for 'conf' folder? I mean, when I edit my 'src\common\mmo.h' can I put that too in import folder? Or does the import folder works only for .conf files?

Thank you..

I'm not sure why you would rename your files to protect your files from being overwritten, it seems like a much easier method to just make a backup

of your custom revision, and walk through the files you edited with customisations to make sure everything you altered stays in.

I haven't tried an SVN update through Turtoise yet, so I can't tell you anything about what that will and won't do to your customisations,

but I figure it should be user friendly and not destroy/undo your settings. But I wouldn't blindly rely on that.

Different config files such as packet_db.txt and char_athena.conf are better kept seperate to avoid confusion as to where certain information

is kept. Also, I don't think something like merging those settings into one file is doable in a way that would be easy to setup and will most likely

require you to alter the source to redefine what files to read for what purpose and how to read those files properly.

The import folder is something I haven't had any need for myself, so I had no practise using that.

If you wish to find out what works, you'll just have to do some testing with that. Disable (rename) mmo.h for example, after putting it in the import folder to check if it loads.

It's all about trial and error, checking, checking, and more checking.

Thanks for the help so far, today I'm able to connect to server and play

Although I got some error messages related to lua things and korean skillnames

Great to hear you're able to play now! The errors you encountered and will encounter are basically part of the process

in creating your server, keep working on it and over time you will improve and eventually get your server to run error free,

and just the way you intended it. But it will not be easy, and it will take a lot of hard work and research depending on how

far you want to go and customize everything.

On top of that you probably want to stay updated, so as you work on your revision you will eventually get behind and

need to carry over all your settings to newer revisions that may contain certain changes requiring you to configure some things

in totally different ways then you were used to in older revisions. You will be able to solve certain problems in newer revisions,

but you will also encounter new problems when starting to use them.

Have fun with your server! And feel free to ask me stuff, I might be able to help out :}

August 27, 2012

Thanks for the reply Seraph Sephiroth

Miruku is a client too like kRO, can be found here http://rathena.org/b...equested-links/

Hmmh... I think I need to start things all over again from zero, because it's pretty messed up in this point...

I have a fresh copy of kRO from that link, and also have the latest patch from here ftp://ragnarok.nowcdn.co.kr:20021/Patch/

So all I need to do is:

Reinstall kRO + MySQL, and also recompile rAthena latest SVN version.

Download a RagexeRE from http://subversion.as...eetools/clients, probably 2011-09-06aRagexeRE

Diff the client with Shinryo's http://rathena.org/b...s-diff-patcher/

Set the clientinfo.xml to the correct ip address

Are there any steps that I missed?

There is a fairly long checklist actually, consisting of small but important things to setup and configure.

First, when using kRO get all the files from ratemyserver.com, and just extract them into one folder.

That will be your base client to work with. Then get the latest rAthena revision, it is also handy to make a backup

of the client and rAthena folder before working with them, and keep making backups upon making progress.

As for the executable, I recommend using 2012-04-10a. It is the one I currently use and I had no issues with it

whatsoever (yet), but then again I am still developing my server as well ;}

When you got all of that together, the next thing you should get are the correct lua files.

I am going to assume getting the most recent lua files will work, but I am using a slightly older revision myself (I got the revision located at a computer at home, I'm currently at a comrade's so I can't specifically tell you what revision right now).

If I am correct, the revision of the lua must match the client executable you use.

After you got those paired up, you can start to work on rAthena's configuration files that let you connect to

your MySQL and your client after diffing your executable with shin's patcher.

- I'll be back with more info, if necessary. But feel free to ask anything you're stuck with in the meantime,

I'm sure other members will help you out with additional steps :}

August 27, 2012

I have tried using 2012-04-10a and get the exactly the same error message like this too http://rathena.org/b..._hl__reqaccname, I also have tried different diff combination from Shin's Patcher..

It appears to be the case that you do not have matching lua files to go with your client version.

You should first make sure what lua revision you need, are you using the latest kRO client?

I read you downloaded Miruku, I don't use that myself nor am I sure about what it is since I haven't

looked up any info on that yet. So far I've worked solely with kRO.

So, I'm not sure about what you are trying to achieve. But for a working server that you can log into,

you don't need to use Miruku.

When you diffed your client, did you make sure to use the new version of "WDGSkipPacketHeaderObfuscation.dll"?

You must diff with skip header obfuscation turned on, otherwise you will not be able to connect in my experience.

August 26, 2012

Try to use 2012-04-10a instead.

in RO folder only

Also make sure to diff your client (if you use the newest files and client) without the "read data folder first" option turned on,

because with that diff on you won't be able to connect (I believe) and your setup will not save your client's changes (such as sound and effects turned on/off).

Oh and use the clientinfo inside your custom grf, you can basically abandon the data folder itself.

August 25, 2012

I think you need lua files only when diffing with "read data folder first" turned off. Which is required to make your setup function (remembering client settings),

and also to connect to your client to begin with in newer clients.

In battle.c you can set absolute values for your server to obey.

You can look up the line:

{ "restart_sp_rate", &battle_config.restart_sp_rate, 0, 0, 100, },

And try to alter the latter part:

0, 0, 100, },

to change it into anything you want your server to be set to, by changing the first zero into another percentage value,

so it works the same as with player.conf only this is closer to being a "hardcoded" solution, and the server is more likely

to work with those settings as a fail safe.

Either way, what I do whenever I fix anything in my server, is make notitions. Just to keep track of everything.

August 16, 2012

Have you tried altering it in battle.c ?

August 11, 2012

Did you make sure you have the correct version for your lua files, and that you placed those in the correct directory?

August 11, 2012

Anyone out there that knows something about this?
