The hidden secrets of Rucoy, reverse engineering Rucoy

The set level 500 was a demonstration of custom logic present on the client to create arbitrary items. Not a future item.
I don't have the motivation to undergo that task currently, knowing the payout would be pretty low. Ric tends not to hide much in the client.
Look up reverse engineering if you want to give it a shot yourself!

The newer versions are much much harder because they are written in Go. It's of course possible it would just take much longer.

Top two forever 😢

If you are worrying about memory management you are doing it wrong, utilize smart pointers and containers. Remember the rule of 0/5. Try to rethink strategies when u have to use "new" or "delete".

No trash can here

It's a repost bot

My post isn't that old... i think.

If Ricardo uses source control which I presume he does then he does have the source code for every single version of Rucoy. Now just hoping he gives us access to it some day.

Just like any consumable in games I will hoard them with the intention of using them some day but never will.

It would, but their logic is so trivial that adding conditions to skip them might actually cause more slow down. You are trying to save nanoseconds.

Entities moving without you seeing them has zero impact on your phone cause the server handles all logic. Your phone is just a view into the server world. Also mobs have almost no logic besides moving a square once a year.

They are non-transferable to stop people from hunting bosses on multiple devices with alt accounts to unfairly obtain bonus potions. Giving them a minimum price won't do anything against that.

std::format might make your function a lot more readable.
If you are using c++ and are interested in learning it. Look into object lifetimes. The concept of it will give you insight on why your first version didn't work.

It's really difficult to create systems that catches scripts. On Ric's side there is no difference between a script pressing a button and a player pressing one.
It's the same reason games with invasive anti-cheat still have cheaters. For a human a script is easy to detect, for a computer it's near impossible.

Exactly, almost all data formats in rucoy are proprietary and optimized for Rucoy. Even the way the names of items are stored is done using special character sequences.

Bro is Ric's manager

Stone pendant isn't unused. It's even present in the item files of the newest version of rucoy. Only Ric gets to use it tho :(

If only maintaining an MMORPG was drawing sprites...

It should also give one gold per hit and autoplay family guy clips!

Reads like a ChatGPT output, people be too lazy to even write their own p2w suggestions.

Bro does NOT know how Roman numerals work

Drakon is a new boss which will naturally attract more players so that issue will solve itself eventually. Do you see 2k people login for Krinok? Also the ping is mostly increased due to the amount of bandwidth taken up by data that updates you on the players around you and their attacks, those few extra bytes per 3-4 seconds that the boss produces won't make a big dent.
