[Nargen]

PART I - To Start a server

Files that ull need

-JavaJDK (Search on Net)
-MySQL 5.0 SERVER (Search on Net)
-NAVICAT (look in my Shared folder

You must be registered to see links

)
-SERVER PACK (ill suggest Hero's1711 pack SEARCH OVER THE FORUM)

1o- Install JavaJDK

2o- Install MySQL 5.0 Server

Installing MySQL 5.0 Server
-Run The executable file (DUH)
-Press next buttom and create a new instance
-Select detailed Configuration

-Server Machine

-Next , Next

-Choose the first option for 20 Players or if u want, choose the manual setting and in concurrent connection , put how many ppl do u want to join in ur server

- NEXT , NEXT , NEXT

-Security Options ... dont check any !

-EXECUTE

->Now u hve configurated ur MySQL server with Login: root , NO PASSWORD , Port 3306.

3o- Install NAVICAT !

4o- In NAVICAT click on connection and insert in Host name/IP address "localhost" , port "3306" , Username "root" and leave blank the password field than click OK

-Will appear in the connections field one new connection called "localhost". RIGHT CLICK on it > New Database , than give the name of l2jdb for ur new database than click ok.

4o- Extract all the files of hero's pack in a folder of ur choice

5o- Install SQL files from hero's Pack (folder SQL)
- U can made it manually or automatically , in this case , ill teach how
to use the automatic installation
- Search for the file Database_installer.bat in the folder TOOLS of ur server folder
- Right Click on it and choose EDIT
-Change the adress for ur MySQL BIN FOLDER in the line "set mysqlBinPath="
-Than execute the edited file pressing F to Full installation and installing the Addons pressing y

- Now u hve ur Database installed xD !

6o- In the folder gameserver/config/ open with notepad the file server.proprierties and change the lines

ExternalHostname=UR EXTERNAL IP HERE
InternalHostname=UR INTERNAL IP HERE (possibily 127.0.0.1)
MinProtocolRevision = 1
MaxProtocolRevision = 999

7o- Go in ur login/config and open the file loginserver.proprierties with notepad than edit the lines

ExternalHostname=UR EXTERNAL IP
InternalHostname=UR INTERNAL IP (possibily 127.0.0.1)

8o- Run The file RegisterGameServer.bat in ur login folder then choose the Id number 0 (zero) . the program will close and a file hexid(server 0 or anything like it).txt will be appear in ur login folder.
Rename it to hexid.txt than copy and paste in ur gameserver/config folder.

9o- Run the program startSQLAccountManager.bat to create ur accounts (if u dont hve a webserver with registration)(LOL ?? Probably u wont hve it at this momment xD)

In Access lvl , put 100 for admins , 0 for players or -100 for banned accounts ^^ .

Open Startloginserver.bat (login folder) and Startgameserver.bat (gameserverfolder).

PS: If ur usinga router , ull need to open the ports : 7777 (Gameserver) ; 2106 (loginserver) ; 3306 (MySQL)
Thats all , i think xD

If i forgot anything , pls tell me !

PART II - WEBSERVER (Server Homepage)

Now ull try to explain how to create ur webserver WITHOUT DISKW !!
Ill use L2Jz System because it is a LOT better and usefull with a complete database included !!

Files that ull need :

You must be registered to see links

(It will install the PHP and APACHE protocol in ur system simple and fast)
L2Jz (try to use the search button above)

How to install :

1o -> First install WAMP5.0 , a little icon may appear at ur clock side, if not, go to the folder that u has installed the wamp and run the executable.)

2o- Extract the files of L2Jz system in a folder than follow the steps bellow :
-With the SQL FILES :
-Open NAVICAT than right click in ur database l2jdb and choose EXECUTE BATH FILE than search for the L2jz SQL files and do it with ALL the SQL FILES !!

-After that , 9 new tables will appear in ur database

3o-Now move all the remaining files of L2Jz for ur WWW\ folder (ull find where u installed ur WAMP5.0. In my case c:\wamp\www\)

4o-Left Click on ur WAMP icon APACHE>START/RESUME SERVICE , and after that click on PUT ONLINE

-After that , wamp icon will become yellow and the lock will disapear

-U can edit ur L2Jz Main page editing the file welcome.php (www\pages\)

5o-Edit ur option.php file (www\) inserting ur server rates and another thing that u like or need
-Bellow the lines of ur server rates

$servers[$i]['info']['rateXp'] = 10;//Exp rate.
$servers[$i]['info']['rateSp'] = 10;//Sp rate.
$servers[$i]['info']['rateDropAdena'] = 30;//Adena rate.
$servers[$i]['info']['rateDropItems'] = 15;//Drop rate.
$servers[$i]['info']['rateDropSpoil'] = 35;//Spoil rate.

-ull need to change that numbers puting ur server rates

6o- Go to ur gameserver\config folder than edit the file telnet.properties in the following lines

EnableTelnet = True

and remove the # in the beggining of the line

#StatusPW = somePass

7o- Go to ur Login\config folder than edit the file telnet.properties in the line

EnableTelnet = True

PS: IF UR USING A ROUTER , ULL NEED TO OPEN THE PORT 80 (Webserver/Apache) !!

Thats it ! A FULL C5 server with ONLINE L2INFORMER and fully editable !

If i forget something , ill insert here later , or pls MESSAGE ME !

If u cannot login in ur server , its a problem in the gameguard, ill share here the guide to bypass it ! (thats the reason to i hve a nprotect folder in my www\ folder xD).

You must be registered to see links

SRRY FOR MY ENGLISH ! If anyone wants to fix my grammar , send a me a pm having the correction ^^.

BTW , Its the SAME METHOD to make a C4 Server.

PART III - The Client Side

Beucause many questions about what to do in the client , i will make a little guide to what make in the client PC to run ur server !

1o- Ull need to donwload the SYSTEM folder of your server pack ! (Ull find it on ur server pack Thread)

2o- Change the original system folder of ur L2 for the server system folder

3o- Ull need to edit the L2.ini (at ur system folder) to insert ur server IP. U can edit it
using the program L2_Fileedit.exe (u can find it on my shares tool folder

You must be registered to see links

).

4o- If ur using the gameguard bypass , ull need to insert the line at ur client hosts file
(windows/system32/drivers/etc)
"xxx.xxx.xxx nprotect.lineage2.com" (where xxx.xxx.xxx is ur server IP)
-Delete ur gameguard folder in ur new system folder to force the client to download the new gameguard from ur server.

That's all ! Ur server may be working now ! Enjoy ! If i forgot anything , pls tell me and SRRY FOR MY ENGLISH !

Ull need to insert the line

xxx.xxx.xxx nprotect.lineage2.com on the client host files (xxx.xxx.xxx is the server IP)

Did u started ur webserver ? The ports r open (80 for apache) r open ?

 

[scrat55]

i did add the nprotect wtv but no i didnt start the web server, cz i wanna jsut test the game server. Do i need to start the webserver for it to work?

also i changed the port that the webserver will use to 81 not 80 cz its a the ISP port wich they use and cant let me open it.

 

[scrat55]

5o- Install SQL files from hero's Pack (folder SQL)
- U can made it manually or automatically , in this case , ill teach how
to use the automatic installation
- Search for the file Database_installer.bat in the folder TOOLS of ur server folder
- Right Click on it and choose EDIT
-Change the adress for ur MySQL BIN FOLDER in the line "set mysqlBinPath="
-Than execute the edited file pressing F to Full installation and installing the Addons pressing y

I dont think i really understand where I should be setting this path to

ok nvm i fixed that i found the folder on my own but now when i run the databaste installer it keeps telling me access denied for root@localhost <using password:YES> but i set it without a password

ok i got thru that now to but im having one more problem, when i run the game and login server it all loads just fine but when the gameserver gets to the end then it starts saying " connecting to login on 127.0.0.1:9014
damn! registration failed: reason wrong hexid" on the game server and on the login server i get "wrong HexID
closing connection
server barts <0> : connection lost" but i put a hexid in the folder the guide told me to, anyone know whats wrong? pls respond
