Pet Evolution and summoning 3 pets...

I am unsure what version of Maplestory has the pet evolutions so this might not even apply, but the items forr pet evolutions can be purchased in the cash shop (Rock of Evolution). Are pet evolutions enabled in this version and if so are they "pre- enabled"?

1. There is a difference between pet evolution and having 3 pets out. The quest to have 3 pets out at once does not seem to be pre-enabled, after purchasing the pet snack that should allow you to have 3 pets out nothing happens. You are supposed to give the NPC in the pet park in henesys the pet snack to complete the quest and you cannot do that (since the first quest cannot be finished (The Hidden Note is missing from its location on the top of the jump quest area in the basket with the kittens). Perhaps this has all been pre-enabled and I'm stating the obvious. It seems you get a skill called "follow the leader" upon its completion. Check out the link below.

Regardless summoning three pets does not work atm.

Edit: At one point I did have two pets out but I had to log out and back in, its very difficult to get it to work. Try yourself and see. I would like to know if its just me. There is a definite problem here.

2. NPC for pet evolution is in NLC. His name is Garnox the Pet scientist. His quests are pre-enabled BUT to evolve the pet you have to speak with him, the pet changes are done in his dialogue. You can acquire what he wants for the second quest (The Rock of Evolution) from the cash shop but he will not accept it to finish the script. Again I am seeing a pattern here, perhaps this has all been worked out and I'm stating the obvious but to finish pet evolution (since there are dialogue choices) it seems you have to talk to Garnox in NLC.

http://strategywiki.org/wiki/MapleStory/Pets#Multipet <~~~ not sure what version this is.

Regardless, pet evolution does not currently work. I will continue to tinker with it. These issues are superficial, if they seem to petty please tell me and I'll stop reporting them.

(This entire issue may be caused by the v83 just simply not having these pet abilities but because later version cash shop items are often added to earlier version games (rock of evolution and pet snack) it may just seem like its possible.)

Convert everything over to Python for scripting.
Keep an option to use JavaScript still.
Fallback to JavaScript for unimplemented scripts, and vice versa.
Have a handler that manages between the two based on settings.

It'll be some awesome shit.

When I zone out of Henesys into the road east of Henesys map it crashes nearly everytime. Same thing seems to happen in Ellinia also using the bottom portal (while zoning into the town).

Note: I change my keyconfig around a lot and place potions on pet to autopot. I just wanted to note that because it has caused crashes in other games also.

It is most definitely item related. Not sure if its hotkeyed items or just being loaded down with nexon.

Edit: Its nexon gear causing it. 100% certain.

Edit: I have narrowed it down to pet related nexon. It is the pet, when summoned it crashes at various portals near certain cities. (I have the bunny, it is named)

There is a map in the forest near ellinia called the "Top of The Tree That Grew" (id - 101010103). When you jump off you hit the bottom and get stuck. I assume it supposed to teleport you at the bottom but its broken.

In Server.java:

        if (!ServerConstants.DB_USE_COMPILED_VALUES) { 
            DatabaseConnection.update("jdbc:mysql://" + p.getProperty("mysql_host") + ":" + p.getProperty("mysql_port") + "/Orpheus?autoReconnect=true", p.getProperty("mysql_user"), p.getProperty("mysql_pass"));
        }

Make "/Orpheus" editable in the makesrv/ini also in case people use a different database name.

When using @kin to change the color of one of my female toons hair it crashes as I cycle through the options using the right arrow. I am in Singapore when it happens, haven't tried it anywhere else.

Edit: Ok there are a few more errors, when cycling to the left it changes my hair style (in the color menu) then crashes. So maybe a hairstyle and haircolor wz are mixed up or something.

Also when changing hair style it sets the color to black on all toons.

Pretty simple concept, and relatively easy to implement. A worldwide stock system that serves as a money sink, as well as an opportunity for players to "win big." It's more or less weighted gambling with a fancy name. Players, through the usage of commands, will be able to search stocks, and buy and sell them. The values of the stocks will be re-evaluated every hour, on the hour. Provides a good means by which to balance the economy. Can easily be tweaked by staff to control inflation or deflation on the server. Will even include stock market crashing.

Development Notes:

• New table, maplestocks, with stock data.
• New table, character_stocks, with stock data for characters.
• New event, maplestocks, that handles automated updated of the stocks every hour on the hour.
• New commands, @stock buy, @stock sell, @stock check, and @stock list, to interface with MapleStocks.
• Evaluate stocks based on player-speculation, include some randomness.
• Determine stock crashes based on rapid selling of stocks at high prices.

A quest lightbulb pops up at level 30 and the admin script doesn't allow you to click "next". Happens at second job advance.

When you get to the last part of the Cygnus Knight starting quest, you hit "accept" and nothing happens. So you cannot continue.

Items (not all but potions) placed on the keysettings and on your pet menu in equipment (for autopotting) drop off after logging completely out of the game (closing client). I have also noticed increased zone crashing (to login) when items are hotbarred. Notice that certain key settings reset to default when moved.

The toy soldier in Eos Tower won't finish his script to give you the "dollhouse" quest. The toy soldier to his left gives a script error (he is needed for the quest also) NPCID 2040002.

Please Fix This

I have three white tigers in my bag and when I try to move them they stack and disappear, sometimes causes a crash. They are all named btw.

I'm sorry if no one's having issues with this one but me. But I am sort of new to this so if you could help out that would be very much appreciated

I can't seemed to get past the character selection, even after changing the IP on the conststant.

I added all of the SQL's in your blog in the order posted. Scrouge is not working (storage npc) 9030100.

Ok i downloaded the latest version of your files and the admin dos not work. I think it is the script man. I followed your commit log back to where you removed the SQL. Maybe you just forgot to update the file link? I'm fine with it being down. Again I'm just noting it in case other people have an issue.

A player of mine tells me that she bought some scrolls (scroll for wand for magic att, scroll for bottom for def, etc)
from the scroll vender near Ellinia and started scrolling her gear. The first couple of scrolls took away slots from the gear then it became infinite (no longer took slots away).

Hi. Was wondering if this is still active. First off, nice tutorial; it was easy to follow.
I have encountered a problem whilst trying to run MS from localhost.exe
Every time shortly after the intro, the program immediately shut down before I can see the login screen and I'm presented with this error:
As far as I know, the server is up and running:

Any advice on how to proceed?
Thanks in advance, should anyone sees this.

how about adding player commands with gm command when the user is gm instead of only gm commands

1-some portals are not working like the one in NLC subway station, henesys pack the portal to bowman job instructor

2- some quest works fine but others just wont finish even when you get every thing that is REQ you just click on OK but nothing happens

3-monsters keep dropping from there stage

Ariant city - 2101011
Hairstylist (VIP) in Singapore not working (no error message or id I can find)
Ariant city - 2100000 (Many skin care/hair NPC's not working)
Scrooge - 9030100 (Storage guy in FM)

As for Scrooge, I have executed all of the SQL's in the order listed on your wiki.

I'm unable to create a character for some reason in-game.

The "Cave of Trials" maps that links "The Passage" (211041900) to "The Door to Zakum" (211042300) is missing. Is this done for a reason maybe? Two maps are missing, "The case of Trials I" (211042000) and "The Cave of Trials III" (211042200).

I should probably make an NPC that allows you to delete characters on your account.
The idea is to use the pin field, or possibly the pic field, in combination with the NPC.
This way, you still get all of the security that a pin/pic has to offer to prevent character deletion, whilst not having to enter you pin just to login. It's certain to be an optional feature though, definitely with settings in ServerConstants to disable it.

Add an option to automatically clear the Paranoia logs upon server boot.
The implementation is easy, I'm just not all that sure this would be useful.
I'm just not sure what's the best way of going about this. You certainly don't want log files to be too large.
I'll probably implement this soon and see how it goes.

At level 15 you get an automatic quest from the mapleadmin that pops up, it is called "A Mysterious Small Egg" and it places a small egg in your bag. You take this egg to Mar the Pet fairy in Ellinia and she turns it into a "Snail" pet. The pet is supposed to die after 5 hours but the quest timer does not change. Normally it would be fine but the snail is supposed to go away I think because it keeps getting summoned on its own.

Is there a command to remove an item from inventory? When using the !search I could not find the code for this snail.

Ereve 130000000 (west side of map)
Ereve 130000200 (east side of map)

Drop me a clue as to where to find portals in the files and I'll see if I can fix them.
Edit: Ok are the portals/travel NPC's to ereve deactivated for a reason? It seems buggy. Several of the portals outside of town lead back in to the wrong locations.

The built-in GM Server seems pointless, and like it causes more problems than its worth. The functionality is abstract, and it's difficult to understand. I think it would be best if I removed it at some point.

I should implement an opt-in hardcore mode. This will allow users to receive added benefits (such as double exp, and double mesos) while running the risk of permanent death. This makes the server more exciting to play on, and makes the experience more enjoyable for some hardcore players. As with everything else, it will be possible to disable it using ServerConstants.

Development notes:

• Requires two fields in characters table, hardcore and dead
• Characters with hardcore true will receive 2x exp and 2x mesos.
• Characters marked with dead will not appear in character select. May still be used for websites, or elsewhere.
• Separate SQL script to add the fields.
• Opt-in command for hardcore mode, @hardcore. Not disable-able by players once enabled.
• automsg tip about hardcore mode.

In ellinia/orbis the ticket seller will not sell you tickets so the boat is inaccessible. In kerning subway the ticket seller sells the ticket but the thing you click to enter the subway train doesn't port you.

How would I go about fixing my setup problem then?
