Hey Royallers , Every time I come back to the game I notice that Nexon has taken down whatever wiki I was using last time. I'm a software engineer by day, so I figured I'd just build one with a twist. Meet Scrolled for MapleRoyals A dedicated MapleRoyals wiki built specifically for the server. No game files required, no setup process, no waiting for indexing. Just open the site and start searching. What's in it Command palette with a tiny query language. Type mobs level:50-70 boss:true and it takes you straight to the filtered list. Works the same for items, equips, quests, and the rest. Map viewer. Toggleable layers for NPCs, mob spawns, and portals. Hover any icon for a stat preview, click through to its detail page. Collections. Bookmark folders ("Funded HP wash route", "Zak prequest checklist", whatever) you can export/import and share with friends. Backup and Share. Export your collections, settings, and saved data and move them between devices. Quest Chains. Find and follow chains of quests, understand all of the requirements for unlocking content. Quality of life. Light/dark mode with customisable colours, full keyboard navigation, and offline support after the first load. What is Scrolled? Scrolled is the engine behind this wiki. The project was originally designed to let players build their own offline MapleStory wiki directly from their game files. The MapleRoyals wiki is now a dedicated deployment of that same technology with all of the data pre-indexed and ready to browse. If you're a MapleRoyals player, you don't need to upload anything—just use the MapleRoyals site. The generic version remains available for anyone who wants to explore other MapleStory servers or game versions. Try it MapleRoyals Wiki: https://mapleroyals.scrolled.dev/ Generic Scrolled: https://scrolled.dev/ Source: https://github.com/RedbackThomson/Scrolled Feedback wanted You're the first group to see it, so I'd love feedback on any papercuts, missing fields you expected to find, mob/item lookups that look wrong, or features you'd like to see added. Code and issues live on GitHub. I'm also happy to chat over Discord DMs (redbackthomson) or right here on this thread. Heads up Scrolled is in alpha. The data model can still change between versions and occasionally break compatibility with exported backups. If that happens, simply rebuild or re-import your data. Your game files are never modified. Cheers, Redback Spoiler: All Screenshots
just started using it and seems like a good tool so far. layout is clean and easy to use it seems that in the files theres a lot of data that isnt actually active in the game. would be good if there was a way to filter out all the unnecessary stuff that doesnt actually apply to royals also it would be nice if the database was more "complete". eg if you search white scroll the tool doesnt show that its obtainable from nlc gach. likewise if you search gach, you cant see a list of drops. i dont know how easy or difficult this would be to achieve from a technical standpoint, but if were going to treat this as an all in one royals db then i would think that kind of information is what people would look for in completeness. edit: splitting accessories into their separate categories would be nice too
again, forgive the technical ignorance but how can something thats in the game not be in the game files? when gachapon gives an item out it has to rely on a loot table thats stored somewhere. if not the game files then where?
Essentially how this works is that the game client will send a network packet to the server saying "User <username> is attempting to use the Gachapon in Henesys". Then the server will check you have a Gachapon ticket, picks a random Gachapon reward for the Henesys machine from its list of rewards, and then sends back a network packet saying "Remove the Gachapon ticket from their inventory" and another saying "Add the reward to their inventory". So the client never knows what rewards are available, it just knows to communicate with the server when the user interacts with Gachapon. This is true for a lot of different interactions in MapleStory - like PQ stage requirements, boss mechanics, some quest requirements. Since each of these is defined by the server we can't infer the information from the game files and we also can't predict what the result will be because the server may update at any time, independently of the game files, and change its behaviour.
I actually think this is a really good idea. I'd like to figure out an easy way to do that. "Unnecessary" may refer to things that simply are not available in this version of the game, but are still in the game files - like the korean quest chains and some of the equips that have no drop chance from any mob. I don't think users would want to go through and manually find all of these though, so maybe we need an automated solution. I'm struggling to think of what criteria some automated system would use to determine what is useful/relevant to MapleRoyals That's a great idea too!
That's very difficult to do with server-side information not being available. For example, there's some gach only scrolls. How would those be handled? Or multiple VL bodies/bosses like that in general, how do we know which need to be kept and which don't? I believe the old royals.wiki tried to do this (might have been manual removal by the author tho) and accidentally removed some things that did exist in the game.
Yeah unless we can come up with a decent solution for doing this safely, I would prefer to not remove any information. It would be a terrible experience if things were just missing for no explainable reason.
Great callout. Looks like this may be getting skipped when parsing the game files - I'll have to dig into it. There are quite a few items in the game files that are non-standard and therefore need some special handling. My gut says that this is one of these.
Just debugged it and working on a fix. Thankfully it's simpler than that. The name of the item was just stored in a non-standard location for a ring and without a name I choose to skip the item. I'm building a more robust system for mapping items to their corresponding names.
Awesome. Just updated the website and now the ring is showing (and the associated quest to obtain it). Very impressive that you found this missing item because there were only 2 items affected by that bug.
Hey everyone! For those who have been following the project, I have a pretty big announcement! After lots of feedback from users, I have found that the biggest hurdle to using the website is uploading your game files and keeping them up-to-date. Especially because accessing the website on mobile or on another computer requires transferring backup files. Originally, this was a feature, because it meant that my servers weren't distributing any Nexon copyrighted materials. However, I now see that this major hurdle ultimately causes the website to become a terrible experience. Today I have launched Scrolled for MapleRoyals, which is a hosted version of the Scrolled wiki pre-loaded with the latest MapleRoyals server files. This service is at risk of being taken down, but I intend on leaving it running and kept up-to-date for as long as I can. In the event that I cannot continue to run it, I've added documentation in the Scrolled Github repository for how to build and host this (or any other private server dedicated wiki) yourselves. All features available in the generic version of Scrolled are also available in the MapleRoyals variant and it has been designed in such a way that this will always be the case. I hope this helps!
