I did not code this emulator.
Read the following for more information.
Read the help.txt file for in-game commands.
Tested on Debian 8.7.1
Mirror: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ChaF0gGtpphPhP5LMYU9xG7vOkdyUTrP
- Emulator: Check Building section
I recommend you to use a Virtual Machine to build the emulator
Install git:
$ sudo apt-get install git
Type the following on terminal and follow it's instructions:
$ cd
$ git clone https://github.com/huenato/AlphaRO.git
$ cd ./AlphaRO
$ sh build.sh
To Start emulator:
$ ./alpha-start start
To Stop:
$ ./alpha-start stop
-
Download the client and extract it
-
Open RagExe.exe with a hex editor and modify the IP on block EBAF8-EBB06 (15 bytes)
-
Set the IP to your emulator's IP.
-
Open Setup.exe and set your settings
-
If you use Windows 10, right-click RagExe.exe and open it's properties
Select compatibility tab and check reduced color mode
Select 16-bit color
-
Run the command: "RagExe.exe ragpassword"
If anything goes wrong, close RagExe.exe with Task Manager.
Firstly I would like to thank you for downloading this server software. It is designed for the Ragnarok Online Alpha client that can be obtained from: http://www.castledragmire.com/ragnarok/downloads.php
Please be sure to read the other Readme.txt file first before operating this software.
I have placed an itemnametable.txt file in the db directory, this file contains item names matching those in the server database. This file should be offered to players to place in a data directory in their RO client directory.
This software is not my original work, and only a small amount of it has actually be added by me originally. This amount will grow as I try to bring the server software to completion.
I will not claim any credit for the work done AppleGirl and others with her to get the software to the point it was at for the revision 159 release, what I am trying to achieve is to now bring the server software to a point where it is fully playable and, hopefully, as close to the original alpha server as possible.
I have discovered that some Linux distributions do not like to compile the grfio.c file, I do not know why but mine does just fine. Therefore I have included the grfio.o file in the source packages so that it wont need to be compiled, if you do a make clean it will be deleted as well though, so use make clean at your own risk.
My releases of this software will be as follows:
- With every new version I will release a package with all files, except the server executables, with all the changed files back to the revision 159 release. This will be denoted as the "trail" release.
- A second package will contain all but the original files that are in the "trail" release.
- All releases after the v1.1.0 release will also have a package that contains only the files changed since the last release.
The versioning is as follows:
- The first number denotes a major version. Odd numbers are testing/beta releases while even will be stable.
- The second number counts the number of major releases.
- The third number is for a minor release.
Releasing changes to the database would count as a minor release, for example v1.1.1 Then releasing a code change would be a major release and would be released as v1.2.0
I am hoping that at v1.2.0 or v1.3.0 I will have the majority of bugs fixed server side, with the v2.X.0 release coming once most of the unnecessary server code has been removed.
v1.2.0 - 4th September 2008
