NPC has the option of feeling reset, and feeling+hatred reset.
kiss Haine´s feetNPC has the option of feeling reset, and feeling+hatred reset.
Except for the minor detail that @feelreset just resets your feeling, and this is an NPC that resets feeling AND hatred? I do not touch source coding, and so the hatred reset is inside of the script. I think many players would appreciate me doing it the way I know how to now, rather than asking Talis to create a command and do it several months down the road. Judging from pre-made @commands, just adding it into the script feels easier.
I'd personally rather make sure the NPC script does what it's supposed to do correctly, and also takes the right amount of catalysts/zeny and doesn't mess up mid-way through something... I'd like to make sure that nobodies SG gets bugged in the process. There's also the fact that the price varies pending if you have the SG SQI, so it would be good to make sure that those who made their SQI aren't getting "ripped off"... Maybe that's just me though.

I'd like to make sure that nobodies SG gets bugged in the processIts an eAthena command and there are no bugreports about it.

Its an eAthena command and there are no bugreports about it.
So honestly, just go back to your own server if all you're capable of is being a douchebag.
If you don't test your NPCs, unforeseeable things could happen:
Haine: Hmm, there are no bug reports on the eA bug tracker, and the code seems good and simple, so I guess I'll just go implement it.
*implements reset NPC*
Haine: So far so good! /no1
Tesla: Haine, there's a ticket about a player who couldn't log in after using the NPC.
Haine: Huh? That's weird, I thought I had added the ... hmm ...
Tesla: There seem to be several players in Prontera dropping lots of valuable items.
Haine: Wha- where'd they get these items?
*looks at item logs*
Haine: The NPC added 100000 Zeny to their characters?! I don-
Talis: Hey, is anyone currently using the item logs? The server lags as hell, and the isp doesn't know anything!
Haine: This shouldn't be beca-
Schrodinger: PRONTERA IS DOWN! And there are lots of MVP spawns in newbie and KS maps, and by lots, I mean like 100!! Did anyone break BBs or is Zidane going crazy with his events?!?
Haine: But I-
Tesla: I was just disconnected while doing an item recovery, can you please stop whatever you're doing?
Haine: It's not my fau-
*Schrodinger logs out*
Talis: The account server displays 9000 logged in accounts, woot. Maybe that's the reason for the lag!
Haine: We didn't have THAT MUCH active playe-
Talis: Our servers can't deal with that many players. Maybe we should rent more machines...
Haine: Schrod, can you check the servers?
Haine: Hey, Schrod, are you there?
Tesla: He's offline.
*Haine calls Schrodinger's cell phone*
[Haine]: Hey, where are you?!
[Schrodinger]: Sorry, my PC suddenly crashed, and I can't get it back to work. Ever since you implemented that NPC I -- oun'-- pr--le-s ---ev--r ...
[Haine]: Huh? I don't understand you, hello? You still there?
Tesla: Can't access the forums anymore!
Zidane: Hey, there's something wrong with the forums!
Kirek: Server connection is dead. Test server not working, neither is the patcher nor any client.
Lucifiel: Heey~ several players who added me in MSN ask what's wrong with the forums and the server, because they apparently can't get on. Can you maybe help them?
RSX-0806: Is anyone watching the news?! They say, there was another oil disaster by BP!!!
Talis: Haine, you there? We have a huge problem, the ISP called and said our server exploded, what did you do!?
Haine: OMG! I ONLY ADDED THE NPC WITHOUT TESTING IT, I DIDN'T EXPECT ALL THIS TO HAPPEN!
Alternative ending:
Haine: FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU-
And that's why you don't simply add scripts or NPCs without testing them, even if the oh-so-sacred eA bug tracker doesn't mention any bugs or the code consists of a mere 3 lines. As a developer you should know that. Especially when it's not that urgent.
I think he was trying to say that testing something like if(zeny<1000000) or an if(countitem(id)<1) takes about 30 seconds and that it's been weeks that the NPC has been worked on /hmmWell, you know, if you do it all the time, like you or BH, it seems as simple as starting up Firefox. But for anyone else not as experienced as you (no offense!), it may not always be that clear and easy, even if it's just three lines. I guess, just let them do their work the way they do it, and do your work the way you want to do it. If it takes three weeks here, it takes three weeks. If it takes two hours at your place, it only takes two hours. And comparing the website to the reset NPC is not quite adequate.
Sure, a hatred reset doesn't exist yet as an atcommand, but pc_resethate already exists, so it's pretty much copypaste.
OMG! that's horrible D:I know right?

So.....
A typoed countitem command disconnects people, spawns items and MVP's and crashes servers....Of course!

Can always do a spoiler tag maybe, Kain? =)
Things have a schedule to them, and it doesn't appear to be the only thing the GMs are working on, so whenever it comes really.
I'm personally glad we'll be getting an SG Resetter at all, it'll definately make my decision to make a Star Gladiator easier ;D
I said it was done a week ago but I had to work on a higher priority project with Talis. Not to mention testing it last week wouldn't matter anyway since we weren't going to do s reboot till the project was done. Not sure why all of you feel the need to post either. I don't care if YOU guys think I'm lazy. I just see you guys as making dumb attemps to troll, with nothing better to do than to try and nitpick retarded stuff that you probably don't even give a shit about in the first place.
Regardless, it is going to be released around when I planned it to be released.
You're so positive lol.
Do you see a glass as half full even though it's empty?
Yeah yeah, but can't we all just agree that my post is a great piece of art? Until now, Kain was the only one to appreciate it, and he deserves my thanks for that, but I want more people to recognize my great mind!
I'll never understand why people expect a GM to put more time into the server. You realize most of our GMs do this in free time, or rather make free time from their life to work on it. This work is being done, 100% and completely for YOU free of charge or work(on your part). This means it gets done when they want to put it in. People have such a hard time waiting for something that tbh we're lucky to get.
I always expect we could get more constant update after our server transfer to Aethena since i heard Aethena coding is pretty much simple compare to Aegis. It shouldn't be too hard to implement something new (i think :(). Simple coding but useful and fun for player.Well, there are two different kinds of coding: script coding, like NPCs, items, and stuff. Of course, there are more possibilities on eAthena, but Aegis scripting wasn't so bad either, you could also do several stuff and events; and source coding, absolutely not possible on Aegis, since there is no source code, but it's possible on eAthena, but not that easy and simple, if you ever tried looking at thousands of lines of code, which you've never seen before and which is poorly commented with only very few references (the eAthena wiki just deals with the basic stuff, more or less how to set up a server, and that's it), written by a (most likely) young and non-official community, you probably know what I'm talking about.
I remembered Talis saying somewhere that he aim to make our server as top low rate pirate server.I don't know if that was intentional (pirate <-> private), but good one! :D

So you basically mean, we shouldn't whining even GM doesn't even update this server for a years? Let just wait this server to dead then.
You know, if GM just care less with this server, there is no point for player to play. Don't forget, some people also donate their real life money to make sure this server is alive. We don't expect GM to spend their time 24/7 just to update the server but at least, GM need to make sure that this server is alive (constant update). I always expect we could get more constant update after our server transfer to Aethena since i heard Aethena coding is pretty much simple compare to Aegis. It shouldn't be too hard to implement something new (i think :(). Simple coding but useful and fun for player. We surely got some major update but our progress is still slow
I remembered Talis saying somewhere that he aim to make our server as top low rate pirate server. To achieve that, this server really need more momentum.
I'm grateful for what GM have done but i guess, giving some criticism shouldn't hurt if everyone can take this in positive way
yeah totally free ::)Unless I missed the memo, I was never forced into donating, and I know a few good people who came up in this RO without donating a cent.

My personal server was well before New World was out, I'm talking atleast 6+ years ago. That in mind the actual coding hasnt changed a huge amount I'm sure. While New World would just be a simple update to some new trunk verison, its a update none the less the GMs did for this server.
Again, I see all these people complaining because they aren't getting their toys right away. You dont run the server, you choose to play here of your own free will, and you will sit and wait for updates. If thats a issue try starting your own server and see how far you get.

Saying that the NPC could break other things or cause bugs that would implode the universe is just silly.Oh man, I was just joking around a bit, don't take everything so seriously!
It needs more ponies and rainbows =(Naah, ponies and rainbows are too nice. Maybe ponies vomitting rainbows?
Oh man, I was just joking around a bit, don't take everything so seriously!
I know, haha. As was I. But it doesn't break anything, you know that :p
