I found Gepard because I needed the unique ID feature. After adding proxy servers to my server I could no longer use the player IP to restrict dual client in some scripts. But Gepard exceeded my expectations, it helped me solve more problems like stopping bots and cheats. My experience with Functor has been great. He always answers in 13-15 hours and sometimes less and all his answers are straight to the point. He also offered me a Monthly Gepard deal when I couldn't pay the 1 time cost due to my PayPal having reached its yearly sending limit. When my PayPal problem was solved I got his LGP module too. It works great too. I recommend Functor products and services to everyone. All servers must use Gepard and have LGP. If you're hesitant because of the installation process, it's super easy, just talk to Functor, he does everything for you. His service is 10/10.

This has nothing to do with that single script "cash_trader.txt" (our current matter ), it's just the same as if it was on pastebin.com or any smiliar txt storage. But generally you're definetly right, SVN or any other repo than rA official git should be avoided just in case. Thanks for explaining

I used the search function to get that link. this was the result where i got it: Besides, what's the difference between svn/git or whatever site's hosting "cash_trader.txt"!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're sure you have no missing files, then it's propably has to deal with the permissions. Try this: Right-click fluxcp folder, click on Properties, and then click on the Security tab. Click on Edit. Select Users group In the Permissions list below give it read permission Try and tell me the result, i'll follow up with you until it's resolved.

Download WeeMapCache from here: Open it and follow these steps: On the menu bar, click on Open Navigate to your server files/db/Pre-Re or Re (based on what your server is)/map_cache.dat Drag your used payon.gat to the maps list Save and restart your server Have fun!

In addition to Emistry's response, here is a cash points shop NPC that you can use: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/rathena/svn/trunk/npc/merchants/cash_trader.txt

You can only use the same login database without conflicting with the other server. This means you can login with the same account info in server A, but different characters. To do this: Copy your SERVER-A files to make SERVER-B files. Make a new SERVER-B database(not necessarily a SERVER-A database copy, you can just make a new one). In SERVER-B files's "/conf/inter_athena.conf" edit only the following to your SERVER-B database: MySQL Character server MySQL Map Server MySQL Log Database If you're going to run both servers from the same machine, don't forget to change the ports on SERVER-B files's "/conf/login_athena.conf & char_athena.conf & map_athena.conf" you can just make them all +1 Run SERVER-B and edit the login port in your clientinfo.xml to the same as the port in SERVER-B's login_athena.conf Login with the same info as in SERVER-A database & Enjoy!

Import main.sql in the database for Login/Char/Map servers and logs.sql in the log database. main.sql and logs.sql are in sql-files folder.

i have already found a programmer to hire, this is a picture of his progress :

Hi, I agree with Tokei on everything, except what he said about file formats, yes they belong to Gravity, but there are some open source finished projects like grfbuilder.com, which allows you to make your own legal grfs. And Anyma, you must know that Gravity does not fight private servers anymore, that's the only reason why private servers are playable. in other words you can defend yourself but there is no way to defend your server, let's say you found a way to upload your hexed client to a file storage without leaving a trace -not your house IP, and using fake registed information-, and also deleted "Ragnarok" from your server name since it is copyrighted too that would defend you -they know, but they have no evidence on you-, but your server is not because just the fact that there are players online on the server means that someone is breaking law to connect to that server, and you'll be obligated by law to stop players from connecting to it. so you can open a private server safely but you can not defend it unless Gravity ignores it, and yeah Gravity does ignore private servers. Since anyma wants to enclose all questions related to this topic in one thread, i would like to add this paragraph for some specific type of persons who disagree using other's property. Well, Gravity does ignore private servers for a reason, and this reason might be either 1# because they think private servers existance is usefull for them since they are really what made Ragnarok popular and ofcourse its owner Gravity, which gave them alot of advantages. or 2# because private servers pop up like weed and even if they want to stop them, they will not be able to, unless they spend alot of money which makes them lose more. So if you're a religious person or has strong beleifs not to use other's properties, you can not open a private server in that way since the reason why Gravity doesn't fight private servers is not clear, in this case your only way is to make your own client from scratch including maps, skills effects, npc spirites, hairstyles, job spirites, item pictures, mobs, maps, custom ragexe.exe..etc. you can use customs and customize your own server avoiding using anything from Gravity, and the only problem would be getting a custom ragexe.exe because there are not any finished projects, but i believe there are some talentend people who can do it for $$, so the whole thing is not impossible. Good Luck

Thank you Terrinigma. I wish someone can help

Thank you Terrinigma for your reply, My idea is to use custom maps, monsters, npcs, items, jobs spirite..etc. The only thing i need to get this done without using anything of Gravity's property is a custom ragexe, i saw some unfinished client projects, so i thought i might find something..

Hi, I'm looking for someone who can make a legal clone client, not hexed or based on Gravity's, just similiar to it. It is okay to be just normal without any special feautres, but without bugs. And i don't mind using an existed client project that fits what i said. Please leave me your contact details and the price, and i will contact you soon Thank you

Hi again, You're welcome eKoh The different between dedicated servers and VPS is that dedicated server is a server/computer with only one account which is yours, and VPS is a shared server/computer with several accounts and you get an account with them, which means in dedicated server you usualy have full control and you can install whatever your server can handle, and VPS is limited to what the company let you use, that's why VPS is less expensive compared to dedi servers. In your case, aiming to run a ragnarok server, it doesn't really matter either it is a dedi server or a vps, just look for the cheapest one that suits your needs. And about the ping, it is just as Tranquility said, but in general you must not worry if you have a high bandwith speed.
