This guide will contain a lot of text. And some pictures. If i made a mistake please reply below and I will be sure to fix it. I am using Windows 7 with a custom theme so do not be alarmed. Be jealous.
Setting Up the Server
*** You will need PuTTy and WinSCP for this section. Google will find you those links. ***
1. Open CentOS and log in to root, open terminal from Accessories > Applications section.
2. Type in "ifconfig" copy the inet addr: ###.##.#.### down. Thats your centos ip.
3. Open WinSCP and type in your CentOS IP as the Host Name. Now enter "root" as the username and your CentOS root password in password and hit Save...
4. Now hit login on WinSCP. it will ask you to save it in the Cache. Click yes
5. On WinSCP click Options > Preferences. Now click Applications under Intergration tab. Browse to where you saved your PuTTy exe. I saved mine in ""C:\CABAL\winscp and putty\putty.exe"" Make sure the boxes that say "remember session password and pass it to putty" and "open TelNet sessions in putty for FTP sessions" are checked and hit okay. Now click the putty icon in WinSCP (its under the word Sessions at the top. Looks like your PuTTy.exes icon. A pop up will ask you are you sure. Hit Run. Now Hit yes on the next pop up then once its loaded type "yum update". It will begin to update CentOS and eventually ask you if you want to download a update. Hit Y then enter. Next it will ask if importing is okay. Hit Y then enter. It will begin to import stuff. Let it work its magic.
6. Several minutes later in WinSCP ensure on the right side you are in CentOS's root folder. On the left side navigate to where you extracted Ep8repack to. Mine is C:\CABAL\ep8repack\. highlight everything in you ep8repack folder and hit f5: copy a popup will pop up. Hit Copy.
7. Once step 6 is done open Putty again. now type "./cabal_install.sh" it will ask if you want to begin the installation. Hit Y then enter. It will ask are you sure hit Y then enter.
8. Now that the files are installed type "service cabal config". Open CMD and type in "ipconfig" and hit enter. At the top you should see a ip. Use that as the MSSQL server ip in Putty and hit enter. For the SQL user type sa and hit enter. Then put your MSSQL pass and hit enter. Now open up your internet. Google search what is my ip. You will see a IP. Put that in putty and hit enter. Now type in "service cabal start" on they all say
OK then the server is started.
Some times services will stop. Just type "service NAME HERE start" example "service ChatNode_01 start" to start ChatNode_01 service.
Setting Up the Client
*** You will need a EP8 Client you can refer to this
page and the Client patch
You must be registered to see links
***
1. Install the Ep8 Client you downloaded.
2. Extract the CabalClientPatch_DARKSTEELMAN.rar to your pc. Edit the internal file in the Data folder to your CentOS ip. You should know it already. If not open CentOS or in PuTTy type ifconfig. Use that. Save internal.
3. Copy the Data folder and the cabal_start.bat and paste it in your Cabal ep8 client folder.
4. Use the start cabal bat to load your client.
