Alpha/Beta

[moons]

Hello,
I would like to know if anyone successed with making a sub-server.(Alpha and beta).

I tried several things already, on 2 didicated host but some problems occured:

- If I kill a monster on Beta, I can see the drops on both Beta and Alpha but I can only pick up on Alpha
- Characters looking like a headless character and a monster name
- Sometimes no drop/xp
- Disconnect with server (2)


config:

Alpha:

*GAME_SERVER Alpha alphaip alphaip alphaip
*GAME_SERVER Beta betaip betaip betaip
*SYSTEM_IP alphaip alphaip alphaip
*SERVER_LINK_IP alphaip alphaip alphaip
*SERVER_LINK_IP alphaip alphaip alphaip
*LOGIN_SERVER_IP alphaip alphaip alphaip
*ENABLE_CLAN
*CLAN_SERVER clanip clanip clanip

Beta:

*GAME_SERVER Alpha alphaip alphaip alphaip
*GAME_SERVER Beta betaip betaip betaip
*SYSTEM_IP betaip betaip betaip
*SERVER_LINK_IP alphaip alphaip alphaip
*LOGIN_SERVER_IP I tried both IP, same effect
*ENABLE_CLAN
*CLAN_SERVER clanip clanip clanip

If anyone could help me, I would appreciate it a lot.

Thanks,
Moons.

Did you tried different server client combinations?
I never looked into it so for now I can ask if you can try add:
*TT_DATA_SERVER and *AREA_SERVER?

BTW. is it possible that alpha and beta will have different maps?

 

[moons]

Well atm everything is working except that Beta is causing the Alpha (main) server to crash... I think I need to make a login server... But that costs :

talk to me at msn..

 

[zaharavn]

*SERVER_LINK_IP aplhaip before *GAME_SERVER of beta

--- EDIT ---
Removed this information as it is "apparently" very inaccurate. Thought the wording used by the admins was stronger.

To those concerned... I'm terribly sorry for any misinformation. It wasn't a matter I was involved with, but was the closest example I know of to the situation of this thread.
--- /EDIT ---

I'm not sure of the intricacies of it however. So I can't really help other than to boost confidence that you will succeed.

I do know that one host can have multiple IPs... that's one way you could keep costs down and keep separation. ^_^

well..

for my experience..

you can also run two SQL server instances in one SQL server...

like:

SACRED/SQLEXPRESS <-- ALPHA

SACRED/SQLEXPRESS1 <-- BETA

------------------------------

ODBC:

c8master <-- Alpha

c9master <-- Beta

--------------------

hex server.exe nor client.exe( find c8master, changed it)

but don't forget to use SQL.dll and Clan.dll, just use Gregoo's .dll generator.. for your SQL user and SQL pass,
but some errors might occur if you use this type(not greggo's .dll generators) in Alpha-Beta thingy while using SQL.dll and Clan.dll, maybe i think its from the registry, when configuring the ODBC
----------------------
might be working on account manager, but also encountered some errors,but i think someone knows how to fixed it..

its all i know , sorry for my bad english..(im drunk)


----------------------------
-
remember if you use this type, use each type of folder for Alpha Server and Beta Server,and for Clients, use 2 Game Client's for Alpha and Beta in one CLient Folder,

and dont forget to edit each type of ports(or it wont work)

Cheers you guys

Edited:

try changing the ports of each SQL instace's

or your

Clan BetaIP 8080 BetaIP 8080 BetaIP 8080

lol ?

SACRED/SQLEXPRESS1 <-- BETA

------------------------------

So you are thinking about two SQL Server?
Come on think abit about it. If you are using 2 SQL Server the Account info wont save in one. So it splits up. And I'm sure moons wants like ePT. So sorry fail about this.

ODBC:

c8master <-- Alpha

c9master <-- Beta

I'm just able to find c8master and not c9master lol. Do you seriously want try to start 2 server? Good luck


Sorry but ur ideas are crap.. Sorry to say it...

I will try to find a solution for you moons

More good then he would not have a sub-server so more servers using two different banks and also no need to use ODBC, but only SQL.dll for each using different configurations in sql.dll

I am studying a meneira put two sub-servers real because they use two sub-servers after a while in the second DC will char and dropping the main server

 

[tnrh1]

try that:

*SERVER_NAME Alpha
*SERVER_NAME Beta

 

[moons]
