If you're using the newest version of the release, as stupid as it is going to sound, run the service pwversion. Because this (newest) release utilizes redundant copies of pwAdmin (internally) running "service pwversion" will copy over a fresh (and un-touched) copy of pwAdmin (to the "working dir").

If that doesn't resolve it - then it is something a little more involved... ... ...
run the service pwversion?

Where is says " only do once " is that per install? EG, 136, 131 then 146? Or is it only once total?

And Does installing next version auto update all files?

How does one update to 1.5.1? Will installing 151 files auto update it? How exactly does one tweak the files? Do I need a hex reader? Or any other program? And Does pwAdmin update for all as well?


When editing Gshop, how does Client side differ from server side? or are they the same?

Well, tried all the G Shop editing tools in package, none work. None link with pwdatabase and none will save any info. Only 1 actually loaded on win 8. will try in a linux vbox tomoz....

On Side note, anyone have a working Gshop editor and G Shop server maker? Like the one in the package? For 1.5.1 as well as others? Also if they will work in windows or only in linux? currently going through Killers thread and will start on others tomoz :(

"How does one update to 1.5.1? Will installing 151 files auto update it?"
simply install it (every server uses they own folders, example ; 151 uses PWServer151 , 136 uses PWServer136.. and so on)

"When editing Gshop, how does Client side differ from server side? or are they the same?"
client and server uses different gshops, client side saves text,descriptions, id, values, etc
server side only saves id and values
343 package dont have 151 editor, you must dowload the lastest one from
and you use the safe function client for client and server for server
gshop editor works on windows

about the hex thing.. i dont get what you mean

1. Lets say u want 146 server running for ur desire PW, all you need is 136 then 146.. skip 131, u dont need them.. unless u want them all-in-1, install everything in the release, but u can only run 1 server at the time.

2. Yes, its auto-update on server files. Lets make an example, the 1st server you have to install is 136, and then 146.. the server files will be 146 when u runs it. unless u want to run 136 after installing 146, u have to start 136 manually by linux command (unless someone else knows more efficient way than what I just told u)

3. About tweaking the files, u mean overpowered stats like this?
REMOVED
If u does, u dont have to edit element.data or update server or anything.. All u need is "itemhexgen" google it, there's a lot of way for you to download, or u can use hexgen included in 343 release (from the pw_dev.iso). u just have to edit XML in pwAdmin, how to do it? search this thread, there's so many answers in this thread about XML hex editing.

4 and 5. What Caosfox said.. XD

6. Yes I do have the working gshop for 146, not 151 (Im not sure if it does working for 151, but my gshop works really well with 146 by 343). And like Caosfox said, it works on windows, that included the gshop editor prepared by 343 in his release, u just have to try every single 1 of them which does works for u, in my case "GShop Editor 144 v2" works like a charm.

This is my current gshop = - Credit thanks to Coldwin
This gshop is the exact PWI gshop, so yeah, no mold or "hard-to-get" gear mats u can get from this gshop, my suggestion would be, edit them urself. ^_^

Gshop isn't hard once you know how to work with it. Gshop editors are overall the same except for the one that is from <1.3.6 from 1.4.4+ they all use the same editor as i use the current Gshop program that i have already for various versions of the game (1.45 and above).

You just have to make sure that you make the client gshop into server sided gshop nothing more nothing less.

Ok I am not new here I just cant remember the login to my old account and I need some info. My greatest apologies if it has been answered and I missed it somewhere in my searches but I previously had a server running on the old 136 package I am looking to install the new one. I noticed the boutique has been taken out. My question is if I install just the 136 version is it still there and in the new one have the boutique items been added as shop items somewhere or the system been adjusted for game game play without it?

If u have the old 136 client which the 1 that have working gshop, copy the gshop.data from it, paste it somewhere. And then u are good to go for installing the new 136 server and client. With the gshop.data u copied earlier, open GShop editor to save the data into gshopsev.data. After u're done, get them both to ur client and u're server, and u should good to go with a working gshop like the old 136.

The old links works just fine for me. .001 means they're split file. You need to download whole of them and extract into 1 file.

If ur looking for how the old 136 installation does, the youtube link still there. Check the 2nd post by 343 in this thread, there's a video guide link in that post.

I have absolutely no clue if this will help as I got kicked off before I got to the point of editing character names. But here is the original work I did on names definitions and lengths back before the army took my dev time from me. http://forum.ragezone.com/f695/change-allowed-length-registration-mails-815755/?COLLCC=134344488 if someone else doesn't pick this up I intend to delv back into how the names for the characters work once I am operational again. Btw I am the guy you helped before after days of digging I finally managed to get back into my account.



Oh additionally do a db repair in php my admin if youve edited tables make sure its no corrupting them.

Wipe ur database and i don't think you can include numbers in your Character name by default.

Well, the account registration is fine, nothing mess coming out from them. The problem is creating new characters.. its not disconnected gamedbd or whatever error, but instead, naming the character is becoming a problem. They keep showing "There is alrdy a char by this name" and when I checked the roles in phpmyadmin, there is no duplicating name. Even creating with a complex random name with numbers and alphabets, still the same mesg shown up, "There is alrdy a char by this name". So, any clue whats wrong? before I decide doing the clean install all over again (well I can do that though, problem is, Im asking because of my sense of curiosity if someone out there knows the way to fixed it, and in case its happening again, will just fixed it rather than losing everything that included time wasted).



Wipe ur database and i don't think you can include numbers in your Character name by default.

Got it, I think database been a total damaged after using the plugin in iWeb.. Send Mail.. and caused this problem. Lesson learned, had no choice but to make a total clean up, since trying to back up and replace in the clean install also dragging this mess. So the only option left for me is to do another total clean install and losing all the previous database. Hopefully someone can come up with the plugin problem "Send Mail", since its kinda good plugin for devs like sending a gift or something to players. Thanks again for helping.
