[Tutorial] How To make ur RF server online

[keodua]

ok i hope this works :


First u need MSQL... i have no link yet but ill give ya soon.

install it and start the Enterprise Manager like this:

ok now create the following database namesmake sure u write it correctly)
exgame
rf_account
rf_world
rf_web

it should be like this if u rightclick:

then click on "New database" and fill in the names for the databases (exgame,rf_account,rf_world,rf_web)

if u have pput in the names it should like this here:

Now that the database's are there you need to restore the data back into them.Right click on your exgame database then goto All Tasks and then Restore database...

after u have done this it will open a window, he wants to know how u like to restore ur database, pls click "From device":

after u selected "from device" it will automatically to a new window, there u must click "Select Devices" and after this in the next window pls click "add":

now it wants to hear from ur where ur .DAT file is. Go to the folder where u extracted ur serverfiles and select "exgame.dat".

ok u have modified ur exgame.dat database, now just click OK to all windows
do the same now for the other 3 databases

Go to SQL Server Enterprise Manager, then go to Security>Logins

You must create new login, click right button and select New Login

then this should appear:

Select SQL Server Authentification.. and create login and pass.

name: rf
password: 12345

Go to the last tab and select all rf bases and give right to them.

Making ODBC's
Locate the file "ODBC.REG in your RF Server folder and right click and then click edit you will see quite alot of text just leave it now copy the ODBC.REG i posted in the other topic and paste it into that close make sure you save then run it and say yes this will be your DSN's set up for you with no problems

Editing INI Files
Go to:
RFServer\RF_Bin\Initialize

You see some files, open AccountSystem.ini, LoginSystem.ini, WorldSystem.ini with text editor. Edit local ip (127.0.0.1) to your ip.

Run the server!
Run this file under RF_Bin
Start_RF_Server.exe

I setup server but my server don't have file Start_RF_Server.exe
I run files
LoginServer.exe
AccountServer.exe
ControlServer.exe
ZoneServer.exe
but file loginserver.exe don't run.
how to make a client can connect to server? how config it ?

 

[TheMaster13]

good work man
very good guide!!!!

 

[enrike]

dragon_son ...you have been able to fix the error of loginserver? because to my it does not run to me either..., it is closed

 

[prostar91]

how big is the rf client ???

 

[Micah]

The server is running only in local mode, all connection from exterior is stopped after the world is selected.
I have tested all possibilities, the connection of client from exterior is possible only for créating account after the the world is appear and after clicking the world, the client is shut down, with no message...

Sry for my english

I had this problem and found a Fix that might be useful.
NOTE: I have 2 NICs!!! (1 Internal, 1 External)

The interesting thing is the Logon Server doesn't really care what IP it's on... The ZoneServer seems to use the last IP address it can find...

My Fix:
Open Network Connections (Control Panel Item)
Click on the "Advanced" Menu and Select "Advanced Settings..."
On this window you have 2 Tabs... Under "Adapters and Bindings" there is a list box with your network Adapters listed in order...

What I did was move my External NIC to the very top of the list and clicked OK to all prompts. (I DID NOT REBOOT AFTER THIS! just FYI)

After I did that and loaded up the zone server, it then used my external IP.... It worked after that =)

Disclaimer: It worked on my machine - Good luck to yours =)

Also Note: When someone selects a realm, the login server shows you the Realm they chose (along with the IP - so you should kknow if it worked or not before the client does.)

Ok..I got it running....but first off...this keeps popping up and it minimizes the client everytime it does...

I use the supplied client exe and it opens fast and fine..running strong...then I get this....

Bigger Picture


Don't what the hell that means...

All the while...the servers...which can't be minimized...need to make a launcher that does that....are acting unstable as can be...disconnecting and reconnecting like every few minutes...

Bigger Picture Sorry for poor quality didn't notice it was so small so had to stretch...

Now I know its all in development still...so I'm not complaining..I'm just letting those that have better knowledge then I know...what needs to be done....

As for my configuration...here's what I'm running on...

Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)

Hopefully this can help you work out some of the bugs....
Oh and I tried both exe's in the client folder...at one time one of them actually let me to the log in screen but after that I got another error..I couldn't get it to repeat it so I couldn't get a screenie.

[razorwolf]

What other topic is this "ODBC.REG" file in?
It would be nice if someone would post a link

 

[wilen]

@razorwolf lol dude how they catch me if its a local ip

 

[the_specialist7]

this how to is a crap, the files are missing (acount.exe...etc) THE AUTOR IS MISSING and he is sending people to pandragon.tk ( and i do agree with wilen post).
The odbc could be explain by the autor, so we can make it our self, not just serch a odbc.reg full of s hit like the one its posted with the server.
