When its done close the window to finalize.


You have Succesfully installed Your SQL Server For accoutns and databases of your mu server!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now You Have to Restore the Databases.
NOTE
: You must restore every .bak files you have in your server files.
Common folders that have your databases are serverfiles\DB or\Databases\
if its .sql file u have to do just the steps 1. to 5 with the databases and just run the .sql file to restore.

[RESTORING DATABASES WITH SQL 2000] - use NEW 2012 SQL OR HIGHER IS RECOMMENDED.
1. First be sure you extracted your server files for ex at C:\ to be able to browse the Database files
2. Go to Start> search for Service Manager, open it put on Server: YOUR-PC name and click Play
3. Go to Start> Search for Enterprise Manager and Open it
4. Click Microsoft SQL Servers> SQL Server Group> open the (local) one
5. Open Databases > Right Click on Databases > Click New Database and create MuOnline
6. Now after you downloaded the server files and put them in C:\ for example
7. In Enterprise Manager Right Click on your Database you made example: MuOnline
8. Click All Tasks> Restore Database> From Device > Select Device > Add >
9. Then find on C:\ Or D:\ You Server Files and Open the Database files (.bak)
10. Choose MuOnline or Other Database > Click OK 2 Times > Go to Options >

Here below on the 2 lines you need to edit the directory where the datbases should be restored.
For example your MuServer folder has DB folder in
C:\MuOnline\DB\
basicly you need to copy the directory of where you want to restore the databases.
Example of how the directory would look if you restore the database in the same folder:


C:\MuServer\DB\MuOnline_Data.MDF
and for Logs database (or anywhere / default location)
C:\MuServer\DB\MuOnline_Log.LDF, so basically in ur files folder so u can see the logs size.

Tick the Force Restore over existing database and press OK to Restore!
Do the same with the rest databases.
Event/Ranking/BattleCore/etc


Tutorial (sql 2008):
(SQL 2012 STILL MORE RECOMMENDED)

[RESTORING DATABASES WITH SQL 2008 MANAGEMENT STUDIO] - SAME INSTALL PROCESS IN SQL 2012
1. First be sure you extracted your server files for ex at C:\ to be able to browse the Database files
2. Go to Start> search for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 and open it
Inside the Server: write
YOUR-PC\SQLEXPRESS and connect with Windows Authentication

3. Click Databases two times to Expand
4. Open Databases > Right Click on Databases > Click New Database and create MuOnline
5. Now after you download the server files and put them in C:\ for example
6. In SQL Management Studio/Databases/ Right Click on your Database you made
for example: MuOnline Tasks>Restore>Database

7. Click From Device and the browse button > Add >Find .bak > Add it.
8. Tick the Restore box for the database to be chosen.

Here below on the 2 lines you need to edit the directory where the datbases should be restored.
For example your MuServer folder has DB folder in
C:\MuOnline\DB\
basicly you need to copy the directory of where you want to restore the databases.
Example of how the directory would look if you restore the database in the same folder:


C:\MuServer\DB\MuOnline_Data.MDF
and for Logs database (or anywhere / default location)
C:\MuServer\DB\MuOnline_Log.LDF, so basically in ur files folder so u can see the logs size.

Tick the Overwrite existing database and press OK to Restore!
Do the same with the rest databases.
Event/Ranking/BattleCore/MuLog etc


You're done with restoring now its recommended to setup ODBC Manually!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ODBC Manually for 64Bit video Tutorial ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its time to Work with the Server and Client Files
(this text guide is very basic but common locations are still valid, recommended is to better watch video tutorials or research the files you are usingg where the configs for sql,ip,passwords must be edited by you and your ip,sql pass, etc)

Go to Your Server Files Folder.
We must Edit IP's & SQL Server Account Password

CONFIG SEASON 1 SERVER FILES (files might not match the locations, better watch video guide for precise locations etc)
* Open File CS > Data > serverlist.dat > Replace Your IP with 130.204.104.215 Close and save the file.

* Open RankingServer>svconfig.ini> Replace Your SQL Password with password21. Close and Save.
* Open Exdb> exdb.ini> Replace Your SQL Password with password21. Close and Save.
* Open Database Folder>Double Click ODBC.reg (32 or 64bit) to register it
* Open your Client and Extract it anywhere.

* Go to your ServerFiles > And Run Startup.exe
* Be sure everything is running correctly

Then
Connect by running the Launcher.exe from your client folder.
To Create Account Use MuMaker from Files folder to make/edit accounts manually


CONFIG SEASON 2 SERVER FILES (files might not match the locations, better watch video guide for precise locations etc)
* Open File ConnectServer >Data >serverlist.dat > Replace Your IP with 192.168.1.55 Close and save the file.
* Open Data>lang>Eng>commonloc.ini > Replace Your IP with 192.168.1.55 Close and save the file.
* Open Data>IpList.ini > Replace your IP with 192.168.1.55 Close and Save the file.
* Open Data>Mapserverinfo.dat Replace Your IP with 192.168.1.55 Close and Save the file.
* Open EventServer>configs.ini > Replace Your SQL Password with tutorials. Close and Save.
* Open RankingServer>configs.ini> Replace Your SQL Password with tutorials. Close and Save.
* Open Exdb> exdb.ini> Replace Your SQL Password with tutorials..Close and Save.
* Right click to the GameServer shortcut files>Properties>Edit Directory Location and click OK.
* Go to your ServerFiles > And Run Startup.exe
* Run GameServer and GameServerCS shortcuts to open GS/GSCS.
* Be sure everything is running correctly

Then Open your client and extract it anywhere
After extracting open
main.exe with

Search for 5.135.199.195 then just replace Your IP there and save the new main.exe

Then
Connect by running the main.exe from your client folder.
To Create Account Use tomake/edit accounts manually

FAQ
If you have Windows Vista 7/8/10 Run everything as Administrator to avoid compatibility issues
Make sure you ask help in MU Help section and re-check video tutorials and learn!

You might require .Net Framework 3.5 /4.0 and all visual c++ in order to be able to run some apps
For IP Configurations ConnectServer/MapServerInfo etc don't remove the quotes between the IP's.
You will probably need to have installed Visual C++ Redistrutables to run some apps
Open Ports 44405/55901/55919 or on other files 44405,56901-56919, 55999 for MHP &
80(Web) in TCP in order for players to connect
Do open ports manually from FIREWALL if you have vps and modem through router panel.

Re: [Guide] Setup your Own Server Season 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

I'm trying to run Season4, but not successfull

-I installed SQL2000, set blank password, and ran it's service
-Restored all databases (I used MU2003_EVENT_DATA), and ran ODBC.reg file
-Changed all required IP addresses to 127.0.0.1, and set all SQL passwords as blank
-turned off firewall (just in case)
-Ran MuServerStartUP by skyteam
-ran SCFdb3.exe
-ran RunServer_GS link (my folder is also C:\MuServer\)
-Changed client's Main.exe using MainCracker to 127.0.0.1
-Ran Main.exe

...and soon as the loading screen is done I get "You are disconnected". Do you have any idea what is the problem?
