My opinion as well. But if someone has lots of spare time, Project forums is the place to be..

bring up command prompt and type this command netstat -a OR netstat -a -n you can see all active ports that are used.

I suggest you create a new thread under Source Support. It's a source modification so you can ask the people who know more on editing the source.

as long as you're using the latest revisions available, it won't matter.

Yes you can, just make sure no other applications/services use the new ports it'll be good.

Here's what you guys are looking for rAthena Wiki -> Configuration

Not only linux, Windows also shows this warning when running on root.

How about port forwarding, did you do that?

Can it convert the latest mob_db template to the old template?

What do you mean by you can login but client login? Can you be more specific?

I apologize for getting the wrong idea.

If you read the History for the link you provided, at the end, it says "serve as a replacement for TXT, which was officially dropped in revision 15503." And it uses sql, unlike TXT. soooo..... yeah basically TXT is dead, SQL is the only way, rASQL is just a simplified version... In the end he still need to learn SQL to properly setup a running server...

I want to know this too.. Anyone?

Unlike eAthena, TXT is officially removed. So now you will have to learn..

If you're running your server using root to connect to mysql, create a new user and grant privileges for your db.

Please post your char_athena and map_athena conf.

In your clientinfo.xml make sure the IP is set to 127.0.0.1

// The rate the common items are dropped (Items that are in the ETC tab, besides card) item_rate_common: 10000 item_rate_common_boss: 3500 item_drop_common_min: 100 item_drop_common_max: 10000 // The rate healing items are dropped (items that restore HP or SP) item_rate_heal: 10000 item_rate_heal_boss: 3500 item_drop_heal_min: 100 item_drop_heal_max: 10000 // The rate at which usable items (in the item tab) other then healing items are dropped. item_rate_use: 10000 item_rate_use_boss: 3500 item_drop_use_min: 100 item_drop_use_max: 10000 // The rate at which equipment is dropped. item_rate_equip: 10000 item_rate_equip_boss: 3500 item_drop_equip_min: 100 item_drop_equip_max: 10000 I've set the item_drop_* to 100. This means all drops will now have a minimum of 1% instead of .01%. If you use the above settings, non-boss monsters will have a drop chance of 100% for cards/weapons/mis/healing and boss monsters will have only 35% drop chance. Just remember that minimum drop rate is fixed to 1%, so only items that were suppose to drop at .01% - 0.99% chance will have a minimum of 35%. Anything above 1% will get a higher percentage and some will even get 100% minimum chance. For more information, refer to our wiki under Setting Drop Rates

You mean like kRO? Afaik only kRO has the feature you wanted.

Setting up rAthena is the same with 3ceam.. Since you're going to do a wipe, then why not create another db for rAthena? Like Emistry mentioned, rA's db is different from 3ceam's db. How you setup 3ceam will be the same with rAthena.

Of course, rAthena's aim is to provide an emulator that is close to the official servers. But development for 3rd classes will be delayed. Right now rA is cleaning up bugs that was suppose to be fixed back in eA. still on development, they just had an update few days ago. Unlike rA, 3ceam only got few devs so expect development to be slow. On navigation bar you can find rA's Trac. On the main forum latest updates are also being shown on the upper right corner.

Before you migrate, think this thoroughly and answer few basic questions - Do you want your server to support 3rd Classes? If yes, stick with 3ceam. Else, if trans classes are fine proceed to the next question - Did you modify any line on source? (Except db info, packetver) if yes, edit source of rA MANUALLY. You can't replace rA sources with 3ceam's. Else, if only basic mods are done, proceed next - Do you have any custom scripts/NPC? if yes, copy the text files, not the entire NPC folder since rA has a modified/updated/added alot of NPC/Scripts for renewal. Else if, you only edited default NPC/script on 3ceam, again, DO NOT copy 3ceam's entire NPC folder. Re-Edit them manually. Else, proceed to next question. - Did you modify any file found on your conf folder? If yes, modify rA's conf folder MANUALLY, as they contain more updated versions. These are only few of the things you need to consider before moving. Final Note, if you're going to migrate from one project to another, it's better to edit them manually. Although both of 'em forked from 1 source/project, both has their own plans/direction/objective. Goodluck.

On wiki, links are included to get either VC++ Express Ed 2008/2010. You should check them out.

They say several of the original RO game mechanics will be making a comeback with few tweaks. I say re-make the original version of RO to 3d and fix whatever fixing is needed. This idea will definitely make a huge impack.

These 3 should be of the same date Client == Lua/Lub Files/Data Folder == Packetver
