PLEASE REFRAIN FROM POSTING QUESTIONS REGARDING AI USE ON ILLEGAL PRIVATE SERVERS
NO SUPPORT WILL BE PROVIDED ON THIS FORUM




If you are currently playing on an illegal private server, please consider joining the official server.
There is a free server available on iRO, Valkyrie.
You do not have to pay to play on an official RO (however, premium servers offer a superior gaming experience).




Illegal private servers use a different system to assign actor IDs than official servers.
AI's which rely on patterns in the Actor ID to operate will not work correctly on private servers.

Effected behavior includes:
All targeting functionality (AzzyAI)
Mercenary identification of alchemist plant summons (all AIs)
PVP target acquisition (all AIs)

Behavior may vary between server emulators and between individual servers in unpredictable ways:
Merc/Homun may be unable to identify targets as monsters, and as such not target them.
Merc may be unable to differentiate between alchemist summons and natural monsters (resulting in merc thinking that all monsters are summons, or that all summons are normal monsters)
Targets in PVP may be incorrectly treated as monsters.
Monsters in PVM may be incorrectly treated as players and thus not attacked.

Additionally, some illegal private servers impose additional restrictions on AI use, or relax restrictions on AI use, and some prohibit it altogether. This may result in:
Account suspension on the private server
Inability to use merc/homun skills through the AI
Ability to use player skills through the AI
Any or all feature(s) working differently than expected or not at all.
Permanent damage to your merc, homun, or character.

This forum is for owned by Gravity Interactive LLC, which hosts the official International Ragnarok Online (iRO)
As such, discussion of illegal private servers is against the forum terms of service - this obviously includes technical support for AI use on illegal private servers.

Beyond the matter of forum rules, it is practically infeasible to support private servers, as there are many different server emulators and custom modifications in use, and the relevant behavior is different between all of them and changes without warning between versions. If you insist on playing an illegal private server, the burden is on you and other players of that server to create or modify an AI that will work on your server.

Posts about issues encountered on private servers muddy the water, and make identification of problems occurring on official servers more difficult, impeding the identification and fixing of bugs. Developers waste time trying to reproduce on official servers bugs which only occur on private servers. This wastes time that could be used for fixing real bugs, and adding new and useful features.
