MapleStory Tutorials

Step-by-step MapleStory guides written by RaGEZONE members, covering v83, v62, v75, v55, v97, v111 and v117 - server setup, database configuration and client edits.

Guides here take you from a downloaded file set to a running MapleStory server: installing the database engine, importing the database, editing the config files and ports, pointing the client at your own address, and setting rates. Several also cover hosting on a VPS and opening the ports a public server needs.

Most MapleStory server files target the v83 client, typically Java against MySQL, though v55, v62, v75, v97, v111, v117, v117.2, v142, v144.3 and v145 all appear, plus a Delphi server covering v83, v90 and v97. Named sources, repacks and emulators include OdinMS, MoopleDEV, HeavenMS, TitanMS and its fork Vana, XiuzSource, Lithium, ExiledMS, JudoMS, ShineMS, NakedStory83, Acernis and OdinSEA, with Cype CMS and MapleBitCMS for the website, HaRepacker, and WZ and XML editing. Guides on Windows use WampServer, NetBeans, MySQL Query Browser and the JDK; missing JCE Unlimited Strength files give the login stick error, and localhost needs hex editing or a redirector such as IPredirect to avoid Hamachi.

Common questions

How do I set up a MapleStory private server?

The usual order is: get the server files, install the database engine, import the database, edit the config files with your address and ports, start the server processes in the right sequence, then point the client at your server. The guides in this section walk through each step for MapleStory.

Do I need to compile MapleStory from source?

Not always. Many MapleStory releases ship precompiled, so you only have to configure them. Compiling matters when you want to change how the server behaves, and there are guides here for that too.

Can I run a MapleStory server on my own PC?

Yes, for testing, and most guides here recommend doing exactly that first - ideally in a virtual machine. Making it reachable from the internet needs a public address or a VPS and the right ports open.
