question [Game Logic] How does the donation system work in Guilds?

[xFranko]

Hey everyone!

I’m trying to recreate the original Conquer Online guild donation system, where players donated different resources and earned specific ranks based on their donations.

Unfortunately, my memory is a bit fuzzy on how it worked exactly. I’m not asking about code implementation, but rather the game logic itself, so if any veteran players remember how this system functioned, I’d really appreciate the help.

Here are a few things I’m trying to clarify:

1. In the Profile tab, was it supposed to show your personal donation total, or the guild’s total donation?

2. What exactly were Exploit Donations (2) and Guide Donations (1)?

3. If I remember correctly, PK Donations and Flower Donations were added automatically when:

   • You killed other players while being in the guild

   • You received flowers

   • Is that accurate?

I tried following the official guides here:

• https://co.99.com/guide/guides/guild1,1.shtml 
• https://co.99.com/guide/guides/guild1,2.shtml

…but they don’t go into much detail about the donation mechanics.

So basica

Another thing I’m unsure about is the Donation History tab. From what I remember:

• It displayed your own donations, along with other players’ donations for the current day.

My main question here is about rank assignment:

• Were guild ranks assigned based on your cumulative total donations, or only the donations made that day?

For example:

• Day 1: You donate 50kk Gold → at the end of the day, you become a Silver Agent (according to the guide page from above)

• Day 2: You donate nothing, but another player donates 20kk Gold

  • Would that player become the new Silver Agent, or would ranks depend on total accumulated donations over time?

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who still remembers how this system worked!

I’m aiming to build a server that closely matches the original Conquer Online experience, down to even the smallest details.

To do that, I’ve been following the official CO guides on their website as closely as possible.

Originally, this server was just meant for me and a few friends, but I eventually decided it would be more fun, and more authentic, to open it up to more players!

I'm not sure about some of that stuff. What version of the game is that and those screenshots from?

Hey,

Found some screenshots from 2013

1. Your total donation
2. Exploit donations once was used for event score, probably TQ planned to use it to make a store or something related to event participation, I remember they were used on Guild Contest, Guild PK and CTF at some point in time but they had no use.

3. PK Donation, Guide Donation, Flower Donation, Arsenal donation are updated as you receive their points. PK Donation increases or decrease when you kill or be killed; Guide donation when you uplevel a Teammate from 1-70; Flower donation when you receive a Flower/Gift; Arsenal score when you inscribe or remove items from guild arsenal.

4. Donation history, it's everyone's total donation, not daily. (afair)
5. Guild ranks are history calculated on current donation. Ranks depend on total accumulated donations over time. All you need to do is hit the daily score and you would achieve, as of: https://gitlab.com/world-conquer-online/canyon/canyon/-/blob/main/src/Canyon.Game/States/Syndicates/Syndicate.cs?ref_type=heads#L287

Thank you so much! this is much helpful! Tho I still cannot understand what are exploits..
Also some others questions:

1. was there a specific BP shared across the guild depending on the rank, or everyone shared the same battle power from Arsenal?
2. For PK Donation, must the killer/killed be from enemy guild or anyone?
3. For Guide donation, how was that calculated? so for example if they're Level 10 and I am in a team with them and level them up to 20 (that would be 10 Guide points? )

Exploits was earned based on event points. Example, you have earned 350 points from CTF, so you earned 350 exploits, but they had no use at all.

1. It released with a percentual BP for rankings, later it changed to 100% to every position:
- From 5180 to around the release of the Dragon Warrior profession, there was a percentual based on the Shared BP. You can check this out here: Guide - Guild Introduction - Features - Conquer Online - Official Site
- Later it changed and every position would earn 100% of the Shared BP
You can choose.

2. Just need to be from another guild. I just don't know exactly the calculations, but you could award 1-3-5-10 points based on battle power difference

3. Guide donation was always 1. Every level 1 point.
