So people quit asking the same question over and over again, take this. I'm aware that there has been an old one that I did, however that's waaay old in the grave.



Links:
Tutorial
VirtualBox Pre-Made Server [UPDATED!]



Most of this stuff is for 0.50.

Q: How to do GM in-game command????????
A: You can't. Now stop asking.

Q: Why does FirstLoginServer give me an error saying that it can't initialize the logger?
A: Create the log folder in the root of your drive.

Q: Where are guilds!?
A: There are unused strings in libconfig.dat, but it hasn't been implemented in the client.

Q: How do I use MyShop?
A: You can't. It was not finished in 0.50.

Q: Why won't friends, party, whisper, etc. work?
A: Make sure you have "ALREADY HAVE [BASIC] RANK" in SystemServer. I don't know how to make that work exactly, but it works sometimes and won't sometimes. I think it's timing with LoginServer and SystemServer.

Q: Will a newer client work?
A: No.

Q: Where can I find the client?
A: PyroSamurai has some torrent. Never checked it.
http://forum.ragezone.com/f297/server-client-translation-update-1022143/

Q: Can I use SQL Server 2005 for this?
A: I believe not, but you can give it a go.

Q: Why can't I use 64bit versions of Windows?
A: GameServer will always fail to load on x64 versions. Not sure why.

Q: help me
A: On what..?

Q: FirstLoginServer gives me something a bad parameter and my IP? What's that?
A: Unfortunately, FLS has been known to hate WAN IP addresses that aren't in a network adapter. Means you need to use a static IP or use Hamachi/Unite.

Q: (part) of the tutorial is not clear enough, can you help?
A: You can PM me or PyroSamurai, or just straight-up create a new help thread. As the help subsection is long gone, just post it on this general-purpose section.

Q: LoginServer gives me "Failed to refresh user login state" and then exits.
A: Check over the linked servers part of my tutorial. If that by itself does not work, change your computer name to TR_ACCOUNTDB.

Q: give me new database pls so i can create a new server to play on for my friends
A: Again, this does not exist.

Q: Is there a .nri unpacker/repacker?
A: There is no repacker available for unpacked nri files, but you can use TNT to unpack .nri/bac files.

Q: Is this illegal?
A: I don't see any/much legal problems coming anytime at all. Ntreev has ceased development for Trickster and these files are nearly over a decade old. So, yes but in a way, it's not.

Q: How do I translate?
A: To translate, just edit libconfig.dat but keep the filesize EXACTLY the same (as in bytes). Another step will be revealed after a release, but it has to do with the server-side!

Q: How do I make my server public?
A: Follow PyroSamurai's VirtualBox instructions.

Q: plissss give me exp change and tm change server 0.50 !!!!
A: Doesn't exist.

Q: How can I add new items and maps, change the UI, etc.?
A: You can't, at least there's no way I'm aware of. The UI, you can probably change the positions in the ui_nori folder and libconfig.

Q: How do I power level?
A: You should find a table with the column called exp and change that to something like 999999999. Then you should simply hit a monster and watch your EXP bar go crazy! I'll remind you once (or the amount of times you read this FAQ entry) that you should not directly edit level tables.

Q: fix patch and give me !
A: Nobody here has to give you anything at all. Go make one yourself.

Q: How do I add items?
A: You should check the item_* tables. Use libconfig.dat as your item ID finder.

Q: What's the point of those stupid FAQ entries?
A: Because these things get asked frequently. Hence, FAQ.

Q: help fix this [screenshot]
A: You should first check over the ~1900 posts in the Trickster section. Then, if there are no results, ask.

Q: gib me transrasion pls for x langgeg
A: What. Here's a English translation with some monster and NPC names: http://forum.ragezone.com/f297/server-client-translation-update-1022143/

Q: I am a potatoperson and I want to set up a server, but I can't into computer! Can you help me?
A: You should just try out the VirtualBox server that was released by PyroSamurai. Remember that you need a somewhat decent CPU and at least 1.5gb of RAM assigned to the VM!

More soon.

No I wasn't saying anything about the old one but if you want my opinion I will tell you it. The old one was incomplete. Your new one is complete for the most part but needs to revised, clarified, etc. It is still very much a draft. Just for clarification purposes I am talking about the tutorial that is linked to in this thread.
