This would be an incredibly useful feature. I know that there are websites that take from the official server information, including an active view of what's being sold at that moment, and even the position of the merchant. Being that I don't have much PHP knowledge, though, I'm not sure how hard it would be to script. I'd imagine a coder would pay a hefty price for that addon. Though, I'm sure the owner of the website I'm talking about could easily be contacted.

Having another Ragray-like program would be awesome, but I don't think anyone could make one as good as Ragray. If they could, I'm all for it. As far as it goes for Ragray itself, the only issue with it was that the patcher could no longer sync with the kRO and kRO-RE patchers (something was put in, as far as I'm aware, that blocked it). Ancyker said that he'd be making an updated version to bypass it, but that was, what... six months ago? They're pretty much dead.

I love ID cards. *-*

To be honest, if you want to get the official stuff, I'd suggest making your players use updated clients/files by supplying them with them. :

In my opinion, the best is a mixture of 3CeAM and the Renewal version of it, which is pretty much what eA Mod is. Third classes are broken without the Renewal system. They just simply go hand in hand.

Sorry about that, here you go~ http://www.mediafire.com/file/55ak6ks0kf5p6vs/data.zip

Please read my posts word for word. This can apply to almost anything, and being a player on iRO, iRO doesn't make that many changes to the classes themselves. Possible content? Yes. Quests and items? Yes. As far as it goes, that's pretty much how the process works, which is why iRO has a general wait time of a year or more after kRO has released the content. As far as it goes for mechanics, iRO's updates are the exact same as kRO's, but typically, as I said, without the glitches, which is why RODoddler (a spokesman for iRO who receives major updates from kRO) uses kRO to speak for iRO, as the changes that are made are never huge.

MySQL isn't meant to read your grf, just the server files themselves. o-o

So you're wanting just the main files and not the folders?

In my honest opinion, we should follow iRO. Sure, kRO gets updated faster than iRO (only because that is Gravity's primary server), but because iRO's updates are delayed, they get the finalized, balanced updates. iRO didn't get third classes until kRO finished them and Renewal (I know of a few friends who play kRO complaining about how ridiculous they were upon being introduced in comparison to now). And that's how it should be. kRO creates the content, perfects it, iRO receives the finalized product, fixes any possible glitches or abuses, eA/rA receives that finalized information and implements (for once) content that isn't ridiculously broken.

This topic has been debated since before I can remember, and I really just have one thing to say: Ragnarok emulators have already been tracked and hunted down by Gravity. Gravity proceeded with suing, and lost due to fraudulent evidence against the providers of the emulators. Their case was that their content was stolen. Losing this case means that it cannot be brought to court again thanks to Double Jeopardy. Essentially, this means the same thing for any anti-piracy bill thrown into motion. All this bill provides is an even more stable ground for those with copyrighted content to pursue others who've stolen it. As Gravity has already been unable to prevent the growth of emulators, this bill will then inadvertently have no affect on eAthena, rAthena or any private servers running them.

Y'all handled it very nicely, I have to say. Last time a forum was DDoS'd, they had no idea what to do and left it up to the web host to figure it out while they sat with their thumbs up their bums.

Mmh. When you post a request topic, please include precisely what you're looking for and how you want it to work. Otherwise, we have no way to even know what you're talking about.

Name: Sarah Trammell Nickname: Aurora/Ashilynn Role: Server Administrator/Wannabe Scripter Age: 19 Location: Alpharetta, GA Bio: Well, I typically have a huge thing about myself on my profile, so I'll keep it short. I've been playing RO since the end of the last open beta. I've been a part of the private server scene for roughly 7 of those years, on and off. I haven't been a long-time eAthena member (as I typically just used it for resources as most people did) up until about a year ago, when I tried to become somewhat more active in the community. The shift in administration killed that desire, so I'm hoping things will be for the better here! Family: I'm also engaged to my partner within servers who isn't as active when it comes to resource forums and eAthena/RMS. I come from a fairly large family of six children. Three from my step-father and three from my mother. I am the youngest of the six and, to say the least, it's a fairly broken family. Who's isn't these days? The best people in my life would probably have to be my long-term friend from elementary school and my fiance, who's been through everything with me, including my passion for server administration. Occupation: Physically, I'm a shift leader for Papa John's, and hopefully soon to be the General Manager of my own store. Electronically, I'm one of the administrators on the up-coming server, ZephyRO, owned by Zeus on our forums, and Poseidon on most resource forums.

Mmh. The more advanced stuff you see is a mixture of php and HTML, I believe. So, I would start with HTML and work your way up to php. c:

It won't negatively affect things, but you will receive those errors until you have a completed mob_db and mob_skill_db. You may have an outdated SVN, I'm not entirely sure, but we had to manually fix ours. xD That would be your issue, though. I would either look in to Renewal projects that is up-to-date, or revert.

If that's the case, I can only assume you didn't complete the download, or you may be running it out of your C: drive. I'd suggest re-installing it in a folder such as My Documents.

Same here. Are you experiencing any particular errors? Did you follow the download guide precisely?

To be honest, it's about time. More power to y'all for trying to work things out peacefully, but all I've ever seen out of Paradox is uselessness. Of course, that's just one person's opinion, and I'm certainly not going to bad-mouth him as I do not know him. He certainly was doing eAthena no good, hoiwever, and I'm so happy that y'all took it in to your own hands to make sure the engine was well taken care of, not to mention being sure Renewal is continued. However, I do have to agree, there should probably be two SVNs. One pre-Renewal, and the other Renewal. While servers who continue down the path of non-Renewal may get left in the dust a bit, there are way too many people out there who would prefer to be able to start their own server on the basis of the old mechanics. Leaving it as the only option would probably discourage those people (such as RetRO, they've been around for over a year now?). Though, I do have to admit, forcing people to get used to the Renewal side of things may do a world of good, seeing as everyone's scared of it like a housewife to a mouse. Anyways, good job. I hope to see this project grow and stick around.

Pretty much what was said before, it's almost impossible to idiot-proof your work, aside from making it clear that it is yours and they are not permitted to edit it, but there's nothing that you can actually do to physically stop them. As Judas said, if that's what you're worried about, then I wouldn't release it.

I'm pretty sure Judas is saying that he gets disconnected with ReAM (I could be wrong). Which I can see, because the same happened to me. My issue was missing mobs and mob skills in the db.txt files for Renewal. Does your map server specify any specific issues such as missing mobs?
