Servers and their functions:
----------------------------
GroupServer: this baby plays the central role for the server operation. Disassembling of it revealed that it is responsible for authorizing the client, creating characters, map handling, etc. Think of it as the dispatcher and syncronizer between the Game and Gate Servers.
Or, maybe there exists some tweak for amount of RAM used, I don't know yet, since all the config files are in bloody chinese.
GateServer: this is some proxy between the client, GroupServer and GameServer. This is the only piece of software the client is communicating with. There can be more than one GateServer, but in this example we'll use only one.
AccountServer: pretty straightforward. Simply checks if a certain user can be authorized to login or not.
Databases:
----------
AccountServer: contains all the users allowed to login. Passwords are plain md5 hashes.
GameDB: main game DB. Contains all the chars, their stats, items, friends, guilds etc.
How to get this all to work:
----------------------------
In this example I'll show how to run just one map, 'garner', which is Ascaron. If you try to teleport to magicsea, it won't take you there, because this map is not running on the server. Well, you can try to run magicsea and darkblue maps on the same GameServer, but it will be a memory hog. You've been warned.
First of all, unpack the archive somewhere on your hardisk.
Restore the database backups to your MSSQL server. The backups are in DB
Having both databases restored, you should edit some config files. I'll show them here entirely, with the appropriate comments. You also can get them from here:
AccountServer.cfg

GateServer.cfg

GameServer.cfg

GroupServer.cfg

Set Chinese(Taiwan) as your system language
Also set Chinese(Taiwan) as default language for non-Unicode programs.
IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, YOU"LL KEEP LOOSING YOUR CHAR JOB AFTER EVERY RECONNECT/MAP CHANGE.
Make sure things in the DB are in correct Chinese, and not like question marks
Assuming you use windows XP, and you have the original disc:
1. Go to the Control Panel
2. Go to Language settings or w/e it is called (The Globe icon)
3. Go to the second tab, check the second box (the one that says something about installing asiatic languages) and hit OK
4. Let windows install the languages.
5. Go again to that globe icon thing, now go to the third tab (advanced)
6. Choose for "Language for programs not Unicode-compatible" Chinese(Taiwan)
7. Reboot your PC if it doesn't happen automatically.
8. boot your server, now, if I am correct, you should see no more gibberish, but instead you should see Chinese characters. Now, do the quest again, or use the attr command, and then after teleporting you still have your class
Time to run it
--------------
1. run AccountServer.exe
It should show some GUI window if it succeeded to run.
2. run GroupServer.exe
3. run GateServer.exe
4. finally run GameServer.exe
It should show some GUI window if it succeeded to run.

. What is a map? A map is the part of the game world where your char can move without teleporting. If you are teleporting to another continent, you're changing maps. Maps are stored under the 'resource' directory of the server. See directory names there like 'garner', 'magicsea' and so on? Those are maps. Well, running even one map requires TONS of memory. Typically, running 'garner' map which in fact is Ascaron continent takes about 1GB of RAM on my machine. So, running all the continents and locations would require some serious hardware, I guess ![Heaven - [Guide] Server SetUp - RaGEZONE Forums](http://privatia.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif "Heaven - [Guide] Server SetUp - RaGEZONE Forums")
