Hello guys , This TUT is for guys who cannot fix their matchservers on getting runtime errors.
This is what Runtime Error i'm talking about:
![Ronny786 - [TUT]Fixing Runtime errors for Matchserver 1.5 [Symptoms/Fixes] - RaGEZONE Forums](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 "Ronny786 - [TUT]Fixing Runtime errors for Matchserver 1.5 [Symptoms/Fixes] - RaGEZONE Forums")
Symptoms:
Fixes:
1. Check your Server.ini file.
--Check your SQL DBname/Username/ Password
--Check your Keeper- IP (127.0.0.1 if running on your own PC )
--Let other settings in server.ini remain as it is . Just change "Accept_invalid_ip = 1 " in order to fix 999 ping problem.
or Copy/Paste:
2. ODBCAD32 Server Problem:
--Usually all Server creating TUT say to create DSN in "USER DSN" for ODBC. I recommend you to create the DSN in "SYSTEM DSN" . Try it!
-- Check your DSN name ( You should name it to your Database name you using in MSSQL)
--Check whether you have selected proper Database in dropdown menu while creating server in ODBC.
--Test the Connection after done !
3. dbo.ServerStatus table :
--Check your dbo.ServerStatus table in MSSQL.
Should be like this !
4. Incorrect editing of XML's :
--Remember most of matchservers released for 1.5 have item limit i.e items accepted below 500000. So never add items id's above 500000.
--Do not copy paste other XML's from other server i.e 08 server to 1.5 server.
--Edit XML's with proper concentration. You may forget to end the </XML> or add invalid command (EX: <Sell itemid='13314") , this is wrong!
5. BIOS Time/Date Settings problem:
--Very few people got this error till now (including me). Matchserver gives runtime error just because of Invalid Time/Date settings.
--We need to update time/date of computer correctly because Matchserver reads BIOS Time/Date for DuelTournament Purpose.
--MSSQL gets date settings from web itself, so it doesnt read date settings from computer and installation date of MSSQL is updated from web.
--So when the date read by matchserver is less than date of MSSQL , Matchserver doesnt read the configuration correctly and gives Dueltournament date stamp error.
--TIP:- This error is occured when your BIOS Date/Time setting is damaged. If you manually change the date/time and check the server, It will work because your BIOS has stored memory/ logs of date/time before.
6.Built problems of Matchserver.exe in VC++ :
--There may be one more possibility of building error of MatchServer.exe
--(NO SOLUTION FOR THIS, YOU NEED TO GET NEW BINARY OR BUILD THE .EXE FILE YOURSELF)
Here are fixed server binaries which i compiled. (100% WORKING/ TESTED )
