[SIZE=+2]Priston Tale pServer F.A.Q.[/SIZE]
This document attempts to answer many of the questions which are asked time and time again, despite our asking that people search for similar questions and read the responses before posting.
The problem with many is that the question does not have a single, satisfying answer... but please read, as I will try to explain why. It's usually because the question makes a simple, logical assumption which does not apply to Priston Tale, (at least, as it stands) or because people believe that something should be possible (everything is possible) when in fact, we do not have the means to make it so in practical terms.
Q: What is Priston Tale?Q: How are PT Servers DevelopedQ: What files do I need to run a PT Server?
A: Assuming you are not planning on using an emulator ... see here...
Q: What is the latest, fastest, best, most stable, complete and / or feature rich PT Server? Where can I find it?A: What ever it is you are looking for, you can probably find an example here somewhere.
Q: Can I run my PT Server on Linux?A: Not really, no.
Q: Can I use MySQL, Postgress, DBase or Oracle etc?Q: How do I set up a PT server?Q: I'm having trouble using Window Vista / 7 / 2008 x64 for my server. Why?A: Yes, you will.
Q: Why doesn't my client connect to my server?Q: Okay, my server runs but I can't get Clans / Bless / SoD Scores, why?Q: My server runs fine at first, but it keeps crashing. Why?A: The most common cause is "timed / boss monster spawn" and a certain memory leak.
Q: I can log in, but my friends can't connect to my server. Why?Q: How do I play in a Window, or as a GM?Q: I'm going to make an Über server for everyone. What specs do I need?A: You need a Windows Dedi or VPS
Q: That's silly. Are you saying I can run a PT server from my 5 year old laptop?A: In all probability, you can.
Q: I keep getting disconnected / "DC(4)" message, why?A: You are probably over-powering.
Q: Why do we use clients in Korean? I want an English / French / Spanish / Brazilian etc. Client.A: The Koreans where the first to develop PT, and much of it's internals, in any language version, are still in Korean.
Q: How do I read the Korean in the client, server and configuration / server asset files? I don't use a Korean PC!A: I have tried to answer that, as fully as I can in this guide.
Q: What programming language is PT written in? What language should I learn to develop a PT server?A: The server is compiled on Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1. (Officially labelled .Net, 2002 or 2003, but it isn't a .Net program)
Q: My server is being raped by hackers and cheats, how do I stop them?A: Yes, sadly PT is pretty insecure.
Q: How can I run faster / fly / attack things before they can attack me / enable "god mode" / be invincible / get 1 hit kills on players or higher level monsters / become invisible / create items from thin air / duplicate items / level up with each kill etc. without being an Admin / GM? Or be a GM on someone elses' server without them making me one?A: [highlight]We won't tell you any of that here.[/highlight]
Q: I have another question. Can I just ask?A: Yes, but...
Thanks.
