Something like that, is how the network might looks when having 2 isles, behind multiple Gateservers to "improve the network latency". note 1: there is no direct connection within the Gameserver and Groupserver, thats also done by the gateserver. note 2: some questions are already explained above, but I'll also answer here, but with a cool image =) Any of these process can be setup within any dedicated server/virtual machine (yes, these could be different machines). In order to have a good latency/lag, take in mind: These green and blue links must be always stable and with a very low latency * by low latency: about ~50ms, excellent having <20ms Red links can also be controlled, by the client side, instead of let the game choose a random, customise your client to choose one ordered by latency *Not sure if this is already done at PKO, I guessing no. note 3: green and blue links must be always keep internal, ensure that you have a correct firewall configuration =)

Having some ISP issues, don't have a stable net connection :p. Sorry for the delays. Started work on this Will work on this tomorrow If you check the main post, most of those are on my to-do list. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll work something out!

Server rates In this guide I will tell you how to change server rates. To change rates open file variable.lua (Server\resource\script\calculate\) and find variables: EXP_RAID = 1 -- Experience rate MF_RAID = 1 -- Drop rate RESOURCE_RAID_ADJUST = 1 -- Resource drop rate TEAMEXP_RAID = 1 -- Party experience rate ELEEXP_GETRAD = 1 -- Fairy growth rate In that case all rates are equal to x 1 How to add rate for Ships: 1) Add in variable.lua (see above) new variable SHIP_RAID. It will store rate for ship experience: SHIP_RAID = 1 -- Ship experience rate Ship rate is equal to x 1 in that case 2) Open file exp_and_level.lua (Server\resource\script\calculate\) and find function GetExp_PKM(dead, atk). Look below for local ship_expadd = math.floor( math.min(7, (dead_lv / 10 + 2) ) ) and replace it with local ship_expadd = math.floor( math.min(7, (dead_lv / 10 + 2) ) * SHIP_RAID) Then save changes. Now you can specify rate for ship experience. How to make auto rates: You could make rates update automatically depending on your conditions. For example depending on a day time or week day. Let's make so that rates would increase by x 2 every weekends. 1) Experience and ship experience (EXP_RAID and SHIP_RAID). Open file exp_and_level.lua (Server\resource\script\calculate\) and find function GetExp_PKM(dead, atk). At the beginning of the function add the following code: function GetExp_PKM(dead, atk) local day_of_week = GetNowWeek() if day_of_week == 6 or day_of_week == 0 then -- At weekends rates are equal to x 2 EXP_RAID = 2 SHIP_RAID = 2 else -- At weekdays rates are equal to x 1 EXP_RAID = 1 SHIP_RAID = 1 end -- original code ..... end 2) Team experience (TEAMEXP_RAID). In the file exp_and_level.lua (see above) find function ShareTeamExp(dead, team_atker, dead_exp, The_Killer). At the beginning of the function add the following code: function ShareTeamExp(dead, team_atker, dead_exp, The_Killer) local day_of_week = GetNowWeek() if day_of_week == 6 or day_of_week == 0 then -- At weekends rates are equal to x 2 TEAMEXP_RAID = 2 else -- At weekdays rates are equal to x 1 TEAMEXP_RAID = 1 end -- original code ..... end 3) Drop rate (MF_RAID). Open file skilleffect.lua (Server\resource\script\calculate\) and find function Check_Baoliao(ATKER, DEFER, ... ). At the beginning of the function add the following code: function Check_Baoliao(ATKER, DEFER, ... ) local day_of_week = GetNowWeek() if day_of_week == 6 or day_of_week == 0 then -- At weekends rates are equal to x 2 MF_RAID = 2 else -- At weekdays rates are equal to x 1 MF_RAID = 1 end -- original code ..... end 4) Resource drop rate (RESOURCE_RAID_ADJUST). In the file skilleffect.lua find function Check_SpawnResource(ATKER, DEFER, lv_skill, diaoliao_count, ...). At the beginning of the function add the following code: function Check_SpawnResource(ATKER, DEFER, lv_skill, diaoliao_count, ...) local day_of_week = GetNowWeek() if day_of_week == 6 or day_of_week == 0 then -- At weekends rates are equal to x 2 RESOURCE_RAID_ADJUST = 2 else -- At weekdays rates are equal to x 1 RESOURCE_RAID_ADJUST = 1 end -- original code ..... end 5) Fairy growth rate (ELEEXP_GETRAD). Open file functions.lua (Server\resource\script\calculate\) and find function Give_ElfEXP(role, Item, Type, Num). At the beginning of the function add the following code: function Give_ElfEXP(role, Item, Type, Num) local day_of_week = GetNowWeek() if day_of_week == 6 or day_of_week == 0 then -- At weekends rates are equal to x 2 ELEEXP_GETRAD = 2 else -- At weekdays rates are equal to x 1 ELEEXP_GETRAD = 1 end -- original code ..... end That's all! If you have any questions you can ask them here.

I'll do it in 1-2 days.

im too lazy to script the whole thing, but a simple note is that you will have to use serialize functions which are table.save table.load this way you can store custom tables and load them later on and increase on them/reduce them upon using the npc to redeem
