Map-Server has terminated abnormally. Restarting in 15 seconds, press Ctrl+C to cancelthere is a 'npc_chat_interface' size mismatch 1 != 36 error on it .. Why it happen this will happens to all plugins that has map/npc.h on it#include "map/npc.h"any plugin that has this line, will throw the above error this is because Haru just recently added PCRE_SUPPORT on this commit https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/issues/909#issuecomment-161577329The sample plugin was updated in 1e2f24a with a missing predefined macro. As such, all third party plugins will need a similar update to their VS project... This is unfortunate, but it's pretty much the only viable way that Visual Studio allows.. How to solve Windows Compiler kindly follow the step 17 for windows compiler http://herc.ws/wiki/Building_HPM_Plugin_for_MSVC#Step_17 Under Configuration Properties - click C/C++ -- open Preprocessor --- change 'Preprocessor Definitions' to _WINDLL;PCRE_SUPPORT;%(PreprocessorDefinitions) yes, all plugins from now on has to compile with PCRE_SUPPORT; to prevent this error now, someone has to post up the solution on non-windows platform [Less]

(hint: a Strawberry drop was added to RODA_FROG -- could you tell? And now, are you sure nothing else was changed? Doublecheck? Would you believe it if I said that SPORE's Job EXP was also decreased by two? Anything else? I'll leave that as homework.)How do we fix it?Once again, we're switching to a different file format. Just like last time, it'll be libconfig. We're aware there are plenty of other suitable file formats out there (who said yaml?), but unfortunately this is not the time and place to change what was already started, and we'll have to stick with libconfig for the time being. (we'll see about writing some tools that leverage the Hercules libconfig parser to lessen everyone's pain).Some highlights:There is no need for those annoying sequences of zeros. If a mob drops less than 10 items, only the needed entries will be there.The mob_db2 entries can be left incomplete and set to inherit the original mob_db entry. If you want your SPORE to have higher Attack, , you can just write that in your mob_db2, and let it read the other values from the mob_db, so that if we update them, you get the update automaticallyWe can finally add more fields (to support new features) to the file at any time, easily and without having to edit all the lines (or force you to edit all the lines of your custom mob_db2)!What does it look like?Each entry follows this structure:{ // =================== Mandatory fields =============================== Id: ID                                (int) SpriteName: "SPRITE_NAME"             (string) Name: "Mob name"                      (string) // =================== Optional fields ================================ Lv: level                             (int, defaults to 1) Hp: health                            (int, defaults to 1) Sp: mana                              (int, defaults to 0) Exp: basic experience                 (int, defaults to 0) JExp: job experience                  (int, defaults to 0) AttackRange: attack range             (int, defaults to 1) Attack: [attack1, attack2]            (int, defaults to 0) Def: defence                          (int, defaults to 0) Mdef: magic defence                   (int, defaults to 0) Stats: { Str: strength                 (int, defaults to 0) Agi: agility                  (int, defaults to 0) Vit: vitality                 (int, defaults to 0) Int: intelligence             (int, defaults to 0) Dex: dexterity                (int, defaults to 0) Luk: luck                     (int, defaults to 0) } ViewRange: view range                 (int, defaults to 1) ChaseRange: chase range               (int, defaults to 1) Size: size                            (int, defaults to 1) Race: race                            (int, defaults to 0) Element: (type, level) Mode: { CanMove: true/false           (bool) Looter: true/false            (bool) Aggressive: true/false        (bool) Assist: true/false            (bool) CastSensorIdle:true/false     (bool) Boss: true/false              (bool) Plant: true/false             (bool) CanAttack: true/false         (bool) Detector: true/false          (bool) CastSensorChase: true/false   (bool) ChangeChase: true/false       (bool) Angry: true/false             (bool) ChangeTargetMelee: true/false (bool) ChangeTargetChase: true/false (bool) TargetWeak: true/false        (bool) } MoveSpeed: move speed                 (int, defaults to 0) AttackDelay: attack delay             (int, defaults to 4000) AttackMotion: attack motion           (int, defaults to 2000) DamageMotion: damage motion           (int, defaults to 0) MvpExp: mvp experience                (int, defaults to 0) MvpDrops: { AegisName: chance             (string: int) ... } Drops: { AegisName: chance         (string: int) ... } } Here's a PORING in the old format:1002,PORING,Poring,Poring,1,50,0,2,1,1,7,10,0,5,1,1,1,0,6,30,10,12,1,3,21,0x83,400,1872,672,480,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,909,7000,1202,100,938,400,512,1000,713,1500,512,150,619,20,0,0,0,0,4001,1And here's the same PORING in the new format:{ Id: 1002 SpriteName: "PORING" Name: "Poring" Lv: 1 Hp: 50 Sp: 0 Exp: 2 JExp: 1 AttackRange: 1 Attack: [7, 10] Def: 0 Mdef: 5 Stats: { Str: 1 Agi: 1 Vit: 1 Int: 0 Dex: 6 Luk: 30 } ViewRange: 10 ChaseRange: 12 Size: 1 Race: 3 Element: (1, 1) Mode: { CanMove: true Looter: true CanAttack: true } MoveSpeed: 400 AttackDelay: 1872 AttackMotion: 672 DamageMotion: 480 MvpExp: 0 Drops: { Jellopy: 7000 Knife_: 100 Sticky_Mucus: 400 Apple: 1000 Empty_Bottle: 1500 Apple: 150 Unripe_Apple: 20 Poring_Card: 1 } }, Not convinced yet it's better?Do you like Strawberries?

I have several custom mobs, do I have to manually convert all of them...?It's true that you need to convert your item database to the new format, but we can do it for you!Go to http://haru.ws/hercules/mobdbconverter/ and paste (or upload) your mob_db2.txt (or even your mob_db.txt if you have custom entries there), pick between renewal or pre-renewal (or upload your item_db if it's customized), press the Convert button, wait a few seconds and you're done! It's already converted for you. Easy, isn't it?Don't trust us? No, no, we don't need your custom mobs, you can sleep safe... But if you still don't want to paste anything on a website... well, we have provided the source code of the converter script! It's in the 'tools' folder of the Hercules repository. All you need is a Python interpreter, version 2.6 or newer (and if you're running Linux or Mac OS, on either your server or your own computer, it's almost certain that you already have that). All you have to do is run it (example: python tools/mobdbconverter.py pre-re . < db/mob_db2.txt > db/mob_db2.conf), and your item database will be converted in a split second!What if I was using SQL mob databases?Well, you're out of luck. It was deprecated long ago and it's being removed. It'll stay available for website/control panel purposes though. An automated converter (much like the db2sql plugin for the item db) will be available soon, and even executed automatically whenever we update the mob db, to keep the sql counterpart in sync!I have this event mob entry that came with an old script I downloaded...No worries, you can get it converted. Use the same script (or the provided web page) you'd use to convert an entire mob database, it'll work just fine even for a mob or two!Special thanksTo Ind, for bringing up the idea, a long time ago.To Andrei Karas for actually doing it, after picking up this project from the bottom of our forgotten items box.To me, for putting this at the bottom of the forgotten items box, and burying it with several other things so that it'd stay there until now (sigh)LinksMerged pull request.Web-based converter.

14.2 Criatura Academy   The Royal Criatura Academy is the new training area of adventurers in Rune-Midgarts. Novices must register themselves into the academy in order to take advantage of its educational benefits. The academy includes a grand hall ... [More] , cafeteria, dispensary, a library, and a student lounge.   Changes 2012 Novice Grounds disabled (NPCs to help abandoned characters stuck in the area were added). Little Porings added to prt_fild08 along with its channel maps. Channel Warper name changed to official representation ("Channel Warp Official"). Academy script added. Novice Skills script disabled due to First Aid and Trick Dead being implemented into the Academy script. Fixed some AEGIS Names on a few items. Novice start point changed to iz_int.   Why did this take so long? Some may be asking themselves: "damn, Kisuka, you've had this for over two years, why did it take you so long?". Well, first off, I've been through two jobs in the last year so my life has been pretty crazy in that regard. Things got stable in beginning of 2015, so I started getting back to this script. The other issue of why this script took so long is due to the nature of the script itself.   In my opinion, this is one of the worst localized pieces of content in the history of Ragnarok Online. Each official server differs in how this script is implemented. The differences among official servers: kRO: Job Teachers warp you to that classes' specific map once you decide to change to that job.iRO: They changed it to the teacher NPC just changes you to the job in Izlude. You never find out where the guild is.   iRO: Added custom NPCs around Izlude that give out free buffs.   kRO: A number of NPCs that give 'Combat Training' in the form of hunting quests.iRO: Removed / Missing them.   kRO / cRO: Cute Pet portion of the academy has misc poring NPCs to add more to the feel of the area during the dialog.iRO: Removed / Missing them.   iRO: Awful engrish translations and placeholder texts used during localization process left in-game.   euRO: Doesn't even have the script.   jRO: No idea, they block non-Japanese IPs. Due to these differences, a large chunk of the script had to be manually translated due to iRO having stripped out those portions of dialog. I wanted to keep this content as close to kRO as possible so I chose not to remove them / not to copy iRO.   Missing Features Due to either missing scripts / NPCs on official, no access to official script, or limitations in Hercules the following features are current missing in Criatura Academy: A number of Quest Bubbles are disabled currently due to certain aspects not implemented yet in Hercules (min / max level, Pre-req quests, stacking). ConsumeSpecialItem calls disabled due to lack of information / no implementation in Hercules. A number of complimenting quest NPCs missing due to lack of them in official server (iRO).   Bugs If you find a bug, please create a Pull Request or a New Issue.   Commit https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/commit/21564acf13fbfc10295e4b2e026c2d3b7ca07299 [Less]

Hello everyone!   Hercules is now back up and running smoothly on the new host. We apologize for the downtime that was given as we were performing the migration! You may look for more information at this ... [More] post: http://herc.ws/board/topic/9987-server-transfer-and-downtime/   There may be things that are still recuperating, please be patient with us as they will be recovered!   Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused!

Hello everyone~! Following Ind's resignation from his administrator position last month, we've been working on transferring our services to a new host. Some services have already been transferred without any downtime (most notably the stat-server) ... [More] , and now it's finally time to move the rest.The remaining services will be transferred during the upcoming week, starting tomorrow (Sunday, June 28th). You can expect some downtime. Forum: The forum can be expected to go offline on June 28th at 17:30 GMT, for about two hours. Some features will be temporarily disabled (commit and pull request sidebar widgets), and will be enabled again within 24 or 36 hours. - Completed Wiki: The wiki can be expected to go offline on June 28th at 17:30 GMT, for about two hours. - Completed Bugtracker, git repository: Bugtracker and git repository (hosted by GitHub) won't experience any downtime. Stat-server: The stat-server won't experience any downtime. Hercules IRC bot (commit announcements in the #hercules channel): The IRC bot will go offline on June 28th at 17:30 GMT, for about two hours. The commit announcement hook may experience a longer downtime (up to four more hours). - Completed HerculesWSAPI: The HerculesWSAPI service (HPM Hooks and SQL Item DB automatic re-generation) will be disabled on June 28th at 17:30 GMT, for up to eight hours. - Completed Through the week, there may be further, brief, downtimes (10-15 minutes each), for planned upgrades and improvements of the platform and individual services. Given the complexity of the system, and the number of moving parts, there may be unforeseen delays on the scheduled times. We'll do our best to minimize those. Status updates will be posted here as well as on IRC and on Twitter. [Less]
