-|| 1. What is Hercules? ||
-============================
-Hercules is a collaborative software development project revolving around the
-creation of a robust massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG)
-server package. Written in C, the program is very versatile and provides NPCs,
-warps and modifications. The project is jointly managed by a group of volunteers
-located around the world as well as a tremendous community providing QA and
-support. Hercules is a continuation of the original Athena project.
-
-
-
-============================
-|| 2. Prerequisites ||
-============================
-Before installing Hercules there are certain tools and applications you will need.
-This differs between the varying operating systems available, so the following
-is broken down into Windows and Linux prerequisites.
-
-Windows

- * MSysGit (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list?can=2)
- * MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/)
- * MySQL Workbench (http://www.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/)
- * MS Visual C++ (http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-cpp-express)
-
-Linux (names of packages may require specific version numbers on certain distributions)
- * gcc
- * make
- * mysql

- * mysql-server
- * pcre-devel
- * git
- * zlib-devel
-
-

-============================
-This section is a very brief set of installation instructions. For more concise guides
-relevant to your Operation System, please refer to the Wiki (links at the end of this file).
-
-Windows
- * Install prerequisites
- * Create a folder to download Hercules into (e.g. C:\Hercules)
- * Right click this folder and select "Git Clone".
- * Paste the GIT URL into the box: https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules.git
- * Open MySQL Workbench and create an instance to connect to your MySQL Server
- * Create a database (hercules), a user (hercules), give permissions (GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE)
- and then login using the new user
- * Use MySQL Workbench to run the .sql files in /sql-files/ on the new Hercules database
-
-Linux
- (For CentOS) Step 1: yum install gcc make mysql mysql-devel mysql-server pcre-devel zlib-devel
- Step 2: rpm -Uvhhttp://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/latest.rpm
- Step 3: yum install --enablerepo=webtatic git-all
- Step 4: yum install --enablerepo=webtatic --disableexcludes=main git-all
- (For Debian) Type: apt-get install git make gcc libmysqlclient-dev zlib1g-dev libpcre3-dev
- * Type: mysql_secure_installation
- * Start your MySQL server
- * Setup a MySQL user: CREATE USER 'hercules'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
- * Assign permissions: GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON `hercules\_rag`.* TO 'hercules'@'localhost';
- * Type: git clone https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules.git ~/Hercules
- * Insert SQL files: mysql --user=root -p hercules_rag < trunk/sql-files/main.sql (and others)
- * Type: cd trunk && ./configure && make clean && make sql
- * When you're ready, type: ./athena-start start

-============================
-|| 4. Troubleshooting ||
-============================
-If you're having problems with starting your server, the first thing you should
-do is check what's happening on your consoles. More often that not, all support issues
-can be solved simply by looking at the error messages given.
-
-Examples:
-
- 1.) You get an error on your map-server_sql that looks something like this:
- [Error]: npc_parsesrcfile: Unable to parse, probably a missing or extra TAB in
- file 'npc/custom/jobmaster.txt', line '17'. Skipping line...
- * w1=prontera,153,193,6 script
- * w2=Job Master
- * w3=123,{
- * w4=
-
- If you look at the error, it's telling you that you're missing (or have an extra) TAB.
- This is easily fixed by looking at this part of the error: * w1=prontera,153,193,6 script
- If there was a TAB where it's supposed to be, that line would have prontera,153,193,6 at w1
- and 'script' at w2. As there's a space instead of a TAB, the two sections are read as a
- single parameter.
-
- 2.) You have a default user/password warning similar to the following:
- [Warning]: Using the default user/password s1/p1 is NOT RECOMMENDED.
- [Notice]: Please edit your 'login' table to create a proper inter-server user/pa
- ssword (gender 'S')
- [Notice]: and then edit your user/password in conf/map-server.conf (or conf/impo
- rt/map_conf.txt)
-
- Relax. This is just indicating that you're using the default username and password. To
- fix this, check over the part in the installation instructions relevant to the `login` table.
-
- 3.) Your Map Server says the following:
- [Error]: make_connection: connect failed (socket #2, error 10061: No connection
- could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
- )!
-
- If this shows up on the map server, it generally means that there is no Char Server available
- to accept the connection.

-============================
-|| 6. More Documentation ||
-============================
-Hercules has a large collection of help files and sample NPC scripts located in /doc/
-
-* Scripting
- It is recommended to look through /doc/script_commands.txt for help, pointers or
- even for ideas for your next NPC script. Most script commands have a usage example.
-
-* @commands
- In-game, Game Masters have the ability to use Atcommands (@) to control players,
- create items, spawn mobs, reload configuration files and even control the weather.
- For an in-depth explanation, please see /doc/atcommands.txt
-
-* Permissions
- The Hercules emulator has a permission system that enables certain groups of players
- to perform certain actions, or have access to certain visual enhancements or in-game
- activity. To see what permissions are available, they are detailed in /doc/permissions.txt
-
-There are more files in the /doc/ directory that will help you to create scripts or update the
-mapcache, or even explain how the job system and item bonuses work. Before posting a topic asking
-for help on the forums, we recommend that all users take the time to look over this directory.
