[Guide][Any Files] Server Setup | FAQ | Troubleshooting Guide - Repost

[xenjitsu]

It's not selfish. I welcome the request. As I say "in some form", and I say this because I often don't keep the same format archive.

Spoiler

Many people post .rar files (and I hate them, they are an arse to work with) so I tend to repack them into either a decent compressed archive like 7zip, tar.bz2 or xz, (LZMA2) or into something I can mount like a Zip, xZip, Cab, iso, cfs, hdf, vmx, wim etc.

7z, zip, xzip, iso and cfs are still my favourite, but I can see xz and wim becoming more popular as they become more common, with more tools to support them.

The .7z version is only 5.43Meg. XD

Thanks Bobsolol, you don't mind if I continue to ask silly questions along the way to try accomplish my little lan PT? ?

 

[bobsobol]

So long as you've tried a search, and made sure it's not in the pinned FAQ, not at all. That's a large part of why we are here. (within reason)

Spoiler

The fact is, if you are going to contribute to developments, you need to be prepared to put some effort in yourself. If you can't be bothered to search our forum for the answers that get you started, the chances of you being bothered to search through packet tracing and executable code reversing to actually push development on once you get your server going are minimal. Then we wonder why we are bothering.

Particularly things like broken links and downed files, the regulars won't go back and check, because we already have a copy. It's good to be informed when links are taken down. :

Sure things Bobsolol, I definitely did my searching researching for the past 4 days now, Only recently I had to start posting to ask around for question which seem unanswered

Will this KPT 2477 work with the Server_619??

 

[bobsobol]

They are both modified versions of kPT(4096) server. (server4096.exe)

The executable in 619 is -KPT-Endless-Tower-Update-V2.2, There's a lot of stuff in there you don't need, and it will probably be missing monsters over lvl110. (maybe even lvl80) You may want to add the updates from

You must be registered to see links

or

You must be registered to see links

update or such.

But in principal, the 619 files will provide a base for which these other things can be added.

We haven't had complete "replacks" for a long time, and the ones we have had (Unzubarus' Ultimate, Edition Pk, Clarina) are heavily modified for auto-level to 150 / 180 and total PvP or some such. So the data in them is somewhere between reasonably useless and completely non-standard as a base.

There are some glitches with 619... but it's not all that bad, and has a lot more than the original. I didn't find it hard to get the basic server going, and from there I could make a backup and swap data sets in and out, mix and match to try stuff.

I think that's where you need to get to.

 

[xenjitsu]

So I'm taking a different approach now, and using your custom Personal PT folder,

Can you please reupload this one file for the client??

Source - http://forum.ragezone.com/f562/guide-install-server-repack-personal-616435/

You need to get a compatible client for the server repack you are using, and I happen to know that KPT1873NoXTrap by QuantumFusion will do quite nicely.

I have never struggled so much to create a server before :grr:

Thanks in advance Bobsolol !

Reason quite simply is because there is a conflict in my files and the server 619 repack, I downloaded the Kpt latest client and for the life me, Couldn't get it connect to the server saying Conn:failed, So I'm assuming it had something to do with conlficting version.


-------------------------------------------------------
Edit- I downloaded this one

Source - http://forum.ragezone.com/f399/kpt1977-noxtrap-butchered-670818/
KPT1977NoXTrap2b.7z

And managed to see my server (Excellento!)

However, It looks like wheN i connect to the server, it looks like it banned me or something, I went to the logs and saw my name as blacklisted.

Any reason for that?

-------------------------------------

Edit -

So I managed to log on, but when I get into the game, It just errors out with a Japanese/Korean text, Wish I knew what it was, one step closer to getting this fixed!

 

[bobsobol]

The message is "Disconnected from server (DC)". (I'm fairly certain of that)

The reason is (almost certainly) because you have an Admin Hotuk.ini file in your client folder telling it to connect you as a GM. However, for one reason or another the server does not acknowledge your right to connect with those rights, and closes the connection immediately.

First step, rename Hotuk.ini in from the client folder. If you still disconnect as soon as you log in, then I'm mistaken. :O:

Next step is to try to get the server Hotuk.ini configured so that you can log in as Admin. (since you are) You need to set either *ADMIN_LOGIN or *ADMIN_IP and *DEBUG_IP or *DEBUG_ID. (I've noted elsewhere that my server often disregards both if I try to mix IPs and IDs, so just use one or the other)

Spoiler

Your next "???" moment will either be "How to I authenticate, so I can use level 3 GM commands?" Or "Why are there no monsters and no NPCs?" Both questions are answered, but you may like to keep an eye out for them before you get there.

Excellent Bobsolol, that worked, thank you so much, I will do some research on how to get GM level 3.

Though I find it off I can use a client version 1977 whilst the server is 2477, it works for some reason???

Resolution isnt to so nice as well :closedeyes:

I am having extreme difficulty understanding the idea behind this

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to get Admin levels
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If your server side "hotuk" says: (found at the bottom of your hotuk)

*ADMIN_NAME "Admin"

*ADMIN_COMMAND "lvl1"
*ADMIN_COMMAND "lvl2"
*ADMIN_COMMAND "lvl3"

Admin level 1:
~/;ADMIN_NAME "ADMIN_COMMAND" ;The first one so for me it would be (~/;Admin "lvl1")
{When you are logged with an admin client you don't even have to do this}

Admin level 2:
~/;ADMIN_NAME "ADMIN_COMMAND" ;The second one so for me it would be (~/;Admin "lvl2")

Admin level 3:
~/;ADMIN_NAME "ADMIN_COMMAND" ;The third one so for me it would be (~/;Admin "lvl3")



So let say for example - I have a ingame toon called admin and the username is administrator

Would I be typing

*ADMIN_Name admin
*ADMIN_LOGIN ADministrator

-/;admin "3"

on the bottom off my Hotuk.ini it has this

ADMIN_COMMAND "1"
ADMIN_COMMAND "2"
ADMIN_COMMAND "3"

 

[bobsobol]

As I say, the 2477 server is server4096.exe jPT (version 4.0.0.8) modified to have the kPT protocol, and the items and level tables from the 2.47.7 client. It will not check client version number until you tell it which version(s) to allow in it's Hotuk.ini configuration.
If you have set, as the example

*ADMIN_NAME "Admin"

*ADMIN_COMMAND "lvl1"
*ADMIN_COMMAND "lvl2"
*ADMIN_COMMAND "lvl3"

Then in game you type

/:Admin lvl3

You should authenticate to level 3.

But... no. You would if your username is "administrator" You would set

ADMIN_LOGIN "administrator"

There are Korean alternatives, so you can also use

*관리자접속암호 "administrator"

tt1:

Anyway, you will probably also want

*DEBUG_ID "administrator"

Because some stuff still doesn't work without it.

All characters from an administrator, or debug user account can log in and authenticate.

To get a nicer resolution, try setting client Hotuk.ini to

*화면해상도 1280 720

for 720p or

*화면해상도 1920 1080

for 1080p.

Looks nice to me. XD

--- EDIT ---
I should also point out that that method of setting the resolution is "depreciated" in PT clients, and you can only do it because I made 1977 prefer the depreciated method again. (I "exploited" the depreciated method) The normal "preferred" method is to set ptReg.rgx to

"Graphic" "0"

for 800x600, 1 for 1024x768 and 2 for 1280x1024... But any of those options looks like crap on a widescreen display. So *I* prefer the depreciated method.

 

[xenjitsu]

greatly appreciated,

Great picture moment there lol!
Will try when I get home, since I'm at work

By the way, any way from a admin point to tier up someones else character without him being an admin?

 

[bobsobol]

Post fixed as per

You must be registered to see links

. Don't do it again!

As for rank-up... yea, you can. Once you are logged in and authenticated, you can load any character from any user and use the lee...rankup.

Most people use a web "painel" thing though.

 

[xenjitsu]

OK still doesn't work.... I will show you my Hotuk.ini from my server

My Current setup is

- Personal Priston tale Server using your .exe setup
- Using a Kpt Client downloaded using the updater.
- Using the 2447 kpt game client and server
- Server_619 Repack

[bobsobol]

DropItem files are tied to monsters and vendors. Monsters are tied in to the events. But you can turn those things off in the Hotuk.ini of the server.

Crucially, you don't mention what features aren't working.

Clan? Bellatra? Bless? PvP Zone? Vendors? Monster Spawns? NPCs in general? GM Commands? Party Chat? etc. etc. etc.

 

[xenjitsu]

Oops, sorry my bad.

Again, sorry to be a pain in the arse,

Admin is still not working, I've read so many different type of Hotuk.ini setups and it seems to be a bit different for each in regards to the Admin configuration.

For example my posted above hotuk.ini vs another hotuk.ini,

So close but yet so far..

When I type in /:Admin 3 or ~/;Admin Lvl3, i just pm myself, is that how it should work? weird.

Though this is interesting to me, if I can get this working, I will post my quickie guide myself :laugh:

 

[bobsobol]

Well, I guess you are logging on as a character called "Admin" then?

Whatever name you PM the server on must be reserved from players using. No player name should appear in any hotuk.ini. (ofc... but just to be clear)

The hotuk above command would be "/:chibixen 3" in any case, not "/:admin 3" or "/:admin Lvl3".

I also recommended not using *ADMIN_LOGIN and *ADMIN_IP in the same Hotuk, and not using *DEBUG_ID and *DEBUG_IP in the same Hotuk. I wouldn't even use *DEBUG_IP and *ADMIN_ID or such. Never mix login IDs and IPs for authentication. Use one or the other only. (sometimes it works, but mostly it just blocks everyone )

 

[xenjitsu]

The hotuk above command would be ":/chibixen 3" in any case, not ":/admin 3" or ":/admin Lvl3".

Oh, so it was ":/" instead of "/:"
Is It mandatory to load the hotuk.ini with Admin right? or you acn just log in without a hotuk.ini and type the the following command and gain access to admin rights?



Well I will try that tonight when I get home from work :

wait a minute, do I have to type the :/Admin 3 in my Hotuk.ini client or ingame????

I'm getting really confused.

------------------
Edit

nevermind, I got it working, I definitely needed the Hotuk,ini client modded for it to work

[bobsobol]

Sorry xenjitsu... that's my typo. It is "/:" not ":/". (I just have it set in shortcut.ini) XD

I've corrected it above.

It actually is a "Whisper" or private message. As I say, the server literally logs on an invisible character which exists nowhere and does nothing except listen for you to PM it. So if you change the PM prefix, it will be whatever you need to prefix to whisper the server to authenticate you.

 

[xenjitsu]

Sorry xenjitsu... that's my typo. It is "/:" not ":/". (I just have it set in shortcut.ini) XD

I've corrected it above.

No problems bobsolol

Thanks for your help !

It gives me the Error Unknown Identifier, any reason for that?

 

[bobsobol]

I would think it's the "DWORD PTR DS:[???+??]" stuff.

That is all overkill. ("DS:" is data segment in 16-bit mode, all segment registers are irrelevant in 32-bit & "PTR" is implied by parenthesis) Olly often "lists" those things to suit this that or the other compilers eye... doesn't always accept them.

Can't check now (GTG) but I think I just enter "cmp DWord[ebx + C8], 8C". I also configure Olly not to display most of the things which are implicit. Maybe those less familiar find the explicit notation clearer?

 

[xenjitsu]

Managed to pull it off, but still won't let me level over 110...

Guess that's the limitation for now....
