Server modification
Warning
This section is outdated and its content may not work on current version of Hercules.
You can find here some information to start making server-side source modifications.
How Hercules works¶
Hercules has a multi-process architecture. It runs three different processes: login-server, char-server and map-server.
Login Server¶
Login server : receives the login packet, checks if account exists and if the password is correct. If all is OK, the connection is then passed to the char-server.
Char-Server¶
Char-server : controls all the character related, Guild, party, pet, inventory etc.
Map-Server¶
The last one is the map-server, which controls char and NPC position, chats, skills, exp etc.
Source Modifications¶
Before you start modifying Hercules, you should better take a look first on :Category:Source_Functions. Remember, it's necessary to re-compile Hercules after a source modification. You can also find information about packets.
