Allright the links for the client and server software are found in the other Meridian post: http://forum.ragezone.com/showthread.php?t=80801 . If you can't understand this guide don't bother complaining/asking/whining/etc because I don't care and probably wont give a rats butt to answer you; it's pretty straightforward.

1. Install the game.
2. Unpack the server software.
3. Open Blackserv.cfg (Server folder).
4. Whenever you see meridian100.3do.com replace it with meridianxxx.3do.com where xxx is the server number (needed to log in via client), doesn't have to be 3 digits.
5. Save and exit.
6. You need to edit your hosts file in windows/system32/drivers/etc (if you have windows xp) with notepad or somesuch text editor and add:

Your ip <tab> merdianxxx.aq.com

Where xxx is the port you defined earlier.

OR

6b. Open meridian.exe (client) in a hex editor and you'll have to tinker around there to change the ip and whatnot.

7. Load up blakserv.exe.
8. Use the help command to figure your own way about it.
9. You'll first need to create and account, and then add characters to the account. First account created is listed as #2. No clue how to give DM priviledges to accounts.
10. If you can't figure this stuff out you're on your own.
11. DM commands can be found in the server folder in various text files. Most in russian.

Feel free to make comments and/or additions, but I doubt I'll reply.

Use "add account credits x y" where x and y are integers and x is the account # and y is the amount of credits (char slots).

Use show accounts to figure out the account number of the account you want to add characters to.

Create user (account number)
Create admin (account number)
create dm (account number)

Admin has additional privledges from DM
DM is basically the GM of the server.

Thank you for making this guide Clickslither! Mostly everything works! Made the characters..

But there is one slight problem, my friends cannot connect and they keep getting (error on port 5959 of meridian124.aq.com). Yes, I can connect to my own server...

Some Notes

- No, the IP is not 127.0.0.1, it is my own static IP.
- Yes I did everything you said on your guide, except the character slot creation does not work.

And uhh one last thing, I was wondering if you ever had more than 1 player on your server, so I could make sure that Im not the only one with this problem.

Thanks.
