kPT Server 2477

[bobsobol]

Indeed. You can't run the client in a Virtual Machine... but that's because they don't support DirectX well enough. (yet... maybe... some try and I've seen people "say" they can, but I think it's fake)

I usually set up PT server on a VM, not hosted native. I use SQL 2005+ and, usually Win2K Server or 2003 Server. (just standard server is enough, no need for Advanced, Datacenter, Terminal Services, Media server or anything). I did once get a PT server on NT4 Server (with minor issues) using SQL 2000. It was an arse, but worked with good performance and very low memory requirement.

I've used VirtualBox and VMWare, but did transport to VirtualPC once. I doubt you cannot use the XP Mode, it must be something like the full VirtualPC. I used an older version than the one I listed above which is now discontinued. I wouldn't be surprised if MS disabled SQL Server on VirtualPC now, since they want you to use their server farming virtualisation software for that sort of application. : (more money for them)

Hm... I will repair the other PC and install Win 2000/2003. But I've seen many tutorials to create a server on Win7. Ultimately, I've to wait another PC lives again to work on it I enjoyed the forum and I'll use it again.

did i do something wrong ? i did everything

 

[bobsobol]

Yes, as I said in the main section, it looks like you placed a kPT client in a folder with rPT assets. It cannot read them and will crash.

cmp esi, 6E - change 6E to 96 to fix lvl up bug.

 

[odhlo2]

cmp esi, 6E - change 6E to 96 to fix lvl up bug.

Please tell us HEX address

 

[gzuz]

search for that in olly.

 

[bobsobol]

Change from 110 to 150?

In Olly Search entire block (server4096.exe or HanDes.dll ".text" sections) Command "cmp esi,6E" results in "Item not found!" tt1:

I can't make any use of this information, in that form either.

 

[odhlo2]

search for that in olly.

"Fill with NOP's" change after checking ones you find?

0044A1AE 81FE 96000000 cmp esi, 96
0044A1B4 90 nop
0044A1B5 90 nop
0044A1B6 90 nop
0044A1B7 90 nop
0044A1B8 |. 8B0D C0A40F10 mov ecx, dword ptr ds:[100FA4C0]
0044A1BE |. 3BC8 cmp ecx, eax
0044A1C0 |. 75 6E jnz short server40.0044A230
??

 

[bobsobol]

That means the instruction has exceeded the space it was allocated (probably a signed byte? -128 to 127) and the change from 120 to 150 (0x6E to 0x96) has overflowed wiping out the next instruction following.

--- EDIT ---
Having said that "81FE 96000000" is a massive encoding for a simple compare, it is now making a full 32-bit comparison.

That link doesn't work, but what I'm using is mm_Server.rar from OP of this thread. XD

I get the feeling I am not believed. XD This is the best way I can illustrate:-

Sorry about the green bar on the bottom and the black nothing at the end. They happened when I converted to YouTube format. :/: Video uploaded in haste.

Sorry. Gave the wrong file.

When I try to set char lvl to 110 or more I got DC (no code) then char reset to lvl 0...

As Bob said there´s no room to edit 6E to 96 without change the CMP itself... (sry my bad english here)

I try to edit directly in hex and the result is:

[COLOR="Red"]CMP ESI,-6A[/COLOR]

as you can see in my SS below. I didn't test it yet cause my vhost is down atm :grr: but I will test it asap then tell u guys...

To change level limit change here:

004439E8 |. 3D A1000000 CMP EAX,6E

and here:

005719FB 83BB C8000000 6E CMP DWORD PTR DS:[EBX+C8],6E

Change 6E for what you want. Ex: 8c (140), 0A0 (160), 0F0 (240)

[bobsobol]

CMP at Address 0x44A1AE is red herring (incorrect) AvaThar?

CMP at Address 0x44A1AE is red herring (incorrect) AvaThar?

It's not incorret, but I don't know why no changes are needed there...

 

[hades123]

Possible to use higher version clients?

 

[bobsobol]

Always possible. It's only when new features are added edits are needed. Unless they change the protocol again, but KPT haven't done that since circa 2006. XD
