eAmod or rAmod?

wobin123 · Jun 21, 2015, 03:57 PM

can somebody tell me the differences between and if they are still available to use and where to get it? thanksss. still confuse about those 2 emulators.

Edit:

Are they recommended emulators?

Well, eAmod is the most common emulator used nowadays.

The good thing about it, is that it has the old eAthena coding, with the Mods made by Zehpyrus (eAmod creator).

But! It also carries the bugs that aren't fixed, since eAthena is not a live project anymore.

This is fixed by rAmod, and also, it has a lot of further updates.

Some scripts will be hard to make them run on eAmod, since it doesn't have some updates. I've experienced this. This and other reasons is why I am using rAmod.

Both emulators are good, but I'd rather to choose rAmod, since I like its updates and bug fixes.

To put in simple terms [I'll also include the others],

eAmod = No 3rd jobs, Pre-renewal features
3CeAm = With 3rd jobs, Pre-renewal features [Some are renewal tho and it's more like eAmod with 3rd class]
rAmod = With 3rd jobs, Renewal features [Commonly used these days]
Hercules = I think same as rAmod

eAmod and rAmod are not emulators, are mods. They're"add-ons", so to say, to eAthena and rAthena, respectively, and paid to use. They are mostly wanted for their BG features although they offer a bit more.

http://www.zephysoft.com/eamod/ is probably the page that you want to buy them [yes, eAmod or rAmod since he made both] but beware of the conditions offered, Zephyrus is not well known for being friendly if you break them *cough* DDoS your server *cough*

If someone is selling any of those mods with the open-source clients from eAthena or rAthena, you should warn the respective administrators of each project so that they are aware of it.

Whatever you do, dont use Hercules or rAthena2011/2013 if want to open a server which could have a use of eamod etc.

Since when did rAmod fix eAmod bugs? Everything Zephyrus made with the emulator "add-ons" are bugged. Either you fix it yourself, or you find someone who can. I vaguely remember Zeph doing anything about bugs on my eAmod so I fixed most of them myself.

eAmod is eAthena based. - PreRE
rAmod is rAthena based. - RE
Totally different things bro.

And to add, there are NO MORE updates on either project. Zephyrus apparently abandoned this project late last year. I haven't heard from him since and I'm a licensed eAmod holder.

Oh, I misexplained myself, what I meant is that eAthena's bugs are getting fixed by rAthena*

Oh right, and here's a better discussion about eAmod (Probably i could say on rAmod as well) from hercules forums: Click me

Howcome?

I have servers with Hercules (with converted eAmod with help from some of the Hercules members) and a server using the original eAmod. Yeah it's a b**** if you don't know how to fix bugs, but it's not as bad as some people put it. eAmod is not an emulator (addon) to touch if you are just starting a server and know little to none about coding.

It all comes down to how bad you want it and to some extent, how skilled you are with troubleshooting it.

But if you are planning on using Hercules and want the eAmod BG features, then just wait til Dastgir (Hercules Script Leader) releases his Extended BG project.

Even if you're going pre-renewal I'd recommend rAthena over eAthena simply because it has more bugs fixed. The only point to get eAthena is because you WANT these bugs because old private server players are used to them.

I'm unfamiliar with the mods or how they work so can't comment on that.

Mary Magdalene · Jun 29, 2015, 04:12 PM

But seriously it's up to the TS on what emulator / mod he wanna use.

If you're asking ' what is recommended ', personally i recommend anything lol.

Because:

Quote from: Emistry from hercules
good server or not.... isnt depend on you're using eamod or not ...

tons of server out there arent using eamod...but still a good server ==''

it depend on how you manage/handle your server all the times...

what kind of emulator you use...doesnt really matter.

I think hercules is outdated for class 2-1 but easier to maintain for a solo gm.
Hmm GodFather = Nretep

rathena has great support and have a tendency to fix bug faster than hercules

all in all , both projects are mature to even let random errand run whatever server they feel like without concern about wasting time of others. Which leed to the number one problem ... dispersed community and a lock into future.

Back then, eathena and it's old former jea was to challenge gravity , today it became a status quo where gravity took back ownership of futures instead of been a subpart. I won't think paradox but the idea was to make emulator in order to make life simplier to extend and depart from gravity way of thinking.

New classes, new skills, new gameplay ...

In 99% server there is not a single new classes added, I am not even speaking about new skills

, nor about using sfx , all gmewbies are doing is marginal when simply not doing anything at all. I would say a scam, the future might be to make rathena and hercules licensed so at least people would run a server with a serious goal to make it a real business not a scam.

The question is quite simple to answer ... it's all about scamming money

eAmod when you already have an old community or have skill to steal from another servers
hercules when you can't code and barely only manage to script ( marginal changes of game mechanics )
rAmod when you want to do some hardcore changes

There is of course quite some exceptions , and depend on the GM, dedicating and motivation would only be the factor to please others. So far server running eAmod or rAmod is only an alert for me to walk away.
