Some progress update. Complete things:
Add support for gif guild emblems. Add support for emblems bigger than 64k bytes. Add shared configs support between login/char/map/api. Add configuration with default emotes for new chars.  

I think you're talking about https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/pull/3138

❤️

Some update on project. now also implemented
extend plugins support for inter server packets. add support for api to login, char, map packets. protection against different attacks on servers. sample http plugin.  
 

Long time no see!
I've been dabbling with adding multi-thread support to Hercules for quite some time and even started quite a few server projects from scratch, and having failed in most of my attempts - last year I tried again with a new core design and it seems to be working so far. A lot of the systems that the server core is reliant were reworked, I believe some of these changes can even be used upstream but they would need to be revised first. This is mostly a proof of concept.
I'm still planning on finishing the map-server but as of now only login and char servers have multi-thread enabled - I didn't test with multiple users yet. There's no linux / FreeBSD support because I want to have everything in working condition before trying to add another I/O paradigm, the architecture is very reliant on the way that this module works so I thought it'd better to implement the whole server before trying to add other paradigms.
Lately I haven't got much free time to finish the map-server, but sometime later this year I think I can finish it.
The code is at https://github.com/panikon/HerculesMT , I forked from stable v2021.08.04
 
Server architecture

Hercules employs a multi-server approach in order to better load balance player requests, so for each game world there'll be at least three separate program instances running at all times. These instrances are: login-server, char-server and map-server. Each of which can only access a subset of the world's SQL tables and is responsible for a different step of the game experience.

Authentication and account database changes are segregated to the login-server, while character selection and character specific information are to the char-server, and the actual gameplay to the map-server.
The login-server is the player entry-point and can be responsible for multiple different world instances, so it's possible to use the same account table (login) for multiple worlds (char-server + map-server) and to dynamically change their IP without needing to push a new patch. After authentication the player is queried for which service they'll use and then the server relays the proper address so the client can connect.
In the char-server the player usually is queried again for a four digit PIN (PACKETVER >= 20180124), after which they can select which playable character will be used to play. The server then relays the address of the proper map-server to the client.
A single world instance can have multiple map-servers where each is responsible for a zone (set of maps), all inter map connectivity is managed by the char-server. When the player requests to change character the char-server IP is then relayed.
A single map-server can be responsible for multiple different zones, and each will be a different thread.

Core design
All servers are multi-threaded. Basic server functions are assigned to different threads:

Console (../src/common/console.c):
This thread is responsible for all console input operations. Timer (../src/common/timer.c):
The timer thread manages the `timer_heap` and dequeues timer actions from the `timer_queue`. Each timer can be ran in a different thread depending on the `timer_target`, this is accomplished by either queuing an action in one of the available action queues (`target_id`) or by running the specified function in the main timer loop (`do_timer`).
Other threads queue different timer actions (add, delete, set tick) to the `timer_queue`.
The timer module is also responsible for tick acquiral via (`timer->gettick` and `timer->gettick_nocache`). Message(../src/common/showmsg.c):
The message thread is used to synchronize the output of multiple different threads, each call to `Show*` instead of being directly outputted to `STDOUT` is queued in the `showmsg_queue` and then dequeued by the main thread function `showmsg_worker`. I/O Worker(../src/common/socket.c):
All I/O operations are asynchronous and implemented via I/O completion ports and a thread pool. The main workers are defined in `socket_worker` and after a operation is dequeued it's converted into an action (`socket_operation_process`) that is then queued to the proper action worker (each session has a responsible worker, and it's obtained by the I/O worker via `action->queue_get`).
These workers don't execute any "business logic" so we can minimize the time that they are blocked by any given operation, and also so we can better isolate different session groups without having to take into account in I/O operations (e.g. in map-server each zone has a different action worker and multiple actions can be queued simultaneously without having to block any of the threads for a longer period of time). Action Worker(../src/common/action.c):
Action workers perform all the "business logic" of each of the servers, and each is responsible for a different session group. After every action loop all send actions are queued to the completion port.

Login-server:
Each char-server connection has a different worker. Player connections are randomly assigned. Char-server:
Each map-server connection has a different worker. Player connections are randomly assigned. Map-server:
Player connections are assigned depending on the current map according to the different configured zones. The char-server connection is randomly assigned.

Other missing new features may come soon...
 

For long time i worked on incomplete yet project for add http support into hercules.
And this is funding page for this project.
 
What parts this project contains already:
new server with http support (named api-server). missing packets for guild emblems. http guild emblems (bmp, gif). hotkeys. emotes. adventurer agency (without search). basic plugins support for all this. basic plugins support for custom urls. extend plugins support for inter server packets. add support for api to login, char, map packets. protection against different attacks on servers. sample http plugin. Add support for emblems bigger than 64k bytes. Add shared configs support between login/char/map/api. Add configuration with default emotes for new chars.  
What need to add
adventurer agency search. extend service urls support. add support for browsers and web panels api for control servers. twitter like messages support for old clients. support for vending shops load/save. other different small things.  
Now this project merged to hercules.
Merged pull request: https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/pull/3198
 
 

Updated to 4.1.3, this release fixes an assertion when applying optimized patches.
Updated to 4.1.4, this release adds support for the new, short-lived (2021-11-03 ~ 2021-11-17) kRO Sakray server. This is a different server from the one removed in 4.1.2 and requires a new full client. There is no mirror support for this one and it is released only as part of the bundle package.

On mob_db.conf, remove all DamageTakenRate: 10 placed in each MVP monster there.

The following skills are not showing any effect when casted:
Ignition Break King's Grace The damage is applied correctly.
Cloud kill visual effect is bigger than expected. Where can i change this?

 
Also, elemental shield is not working at all.
I'm using the last version of stable branch (hercules).
Can you help me find where my problem may be? Which lua files should i look for to fix this?
 
 

The New Year is the perfect occasion to appreciate all the good things that the past year has given you and all the good things that are yet to come. In the past 365 days you have experienced beautiful moments in spite of any hard times in 2020, and they wouldn’t have been quite the same without all of the special people in your life.
Convey your warmest New Year wishes and show your friends and family you put some extra thought into wishing them the happiest of New Years with the perfect sentiment. Cheers to successes. Cheers to failures. And cheers to those who helped you make your year what it was.
 
We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten.

Simple DLL Loader for RO Clients


About
If you expect some super simple application, let me disappoint you, there is none; everything is already part of the RO client. Consider this post as a proof-of-concept. There are also certain catches that you should be aware of, before you start jumping for joy.

All you need to do, is to give your library a .asi, .m3d or .flt extension instead of .dll and it will miraculously get loaded by the client when it starts up and is unloaded once it shuts down.

While you can load pretty much any dynamic library this way, there is a major catch: when your DLL gets loaded, most of the initialization is already complete and the window is already visible, DirectX is not initialized at that point. So while this might be ideal for a client plug-in, that messes with the window or the client runtime, it's probably less usable for hot-patching of the initialization code. Another catch is, that the client will load fine when your DLL is deleted.

Summary: While the process of loading a DLL with the extensions .asi, .m3d and .flt is simple, the point at which it gets loaded might be unsuitable for certain uses. Since it's not intrusive, it might be of use for client plug-ins.

Demo: The linked demo consists of a pre-build DLL with source, that displays a message when loaded and unloaded for convenience of testing this PoC.

Edit:
Another issue noticed by Cataclysm: If "Sound Mode" in RO setup is set to "No Sound", DLLs will not be loaded.

demo

QA
How does this work?
Your DLL is loaded as a driver for the Miles Sound System (mss32.dll), but since it does not register with it, it does not interfere with it in any way.
