    Simply put, no. Those need to be running to have the server up and selectable.

    No, you need to open Locator, Matchserver and Matchagent. Your friends dont need to have this opened, they just need to have your client set up with your external IP/DNS

    They would have to be open on the dedicated.

    as cerealnp said, only you (or the hoster) have to have those files running for the server to show.

    That is a total lie. You only need to run MatchServer, Locator and MatchAgent. No one else should run it.
    You don't need to have a dedicated server if you have only a few members joining your server.
    You can run those files on your computer or the dedicated server. Again, no one else should run it.

    @hiii: MatchAgent helps to resolve Agent Error problems.
    You may need it for other users who play on your server...

    Thanks for the tip, i did it, didnt work. :(
    I even tried running matchagent, matchserver, locator, after deleting patch.xml's patchnode, same error!

    wait, i heard something about configuring apache, i have it, but what do i need to configure, if anything.

    It should have worked, its the only one that is going wrong.
    Code:
    13:21:43:843 [ZFileTransfer] Download file : ./patch.xml to ./patch.xml
    13:21:43:843 [ZFileTransfer] ERROR : File not found.

    this is what i did,
    I have my gunz folder in c:\wamp\www\gunzweb\GunzUpdate
    I put the zpatchcreater.exe program in there, created a patch.xml
    file, edited to take out certain stuff.
    I am still using locator, matchagent, and matchserver program.

    Is their something im supposed to edit in apache? Wamp?
    I can see my image in the GunzLauncher.

    It clearly states that the download of patch.xml was not found.

    Tutorial:
    1. Rename theduel.exe to Gunz.exe in your GunzUpdate folder.
    2. Run ZPatchBuilder & wait for it to complete with a dialog: "Patch.xml build succeed!"
    3. Open patch.xml with Wordpad and delete patch nodes:
    ZPatchBuilder.exe
    patch.xml
    Rename the patch node Gunz.exe to theduel.exe

    4. Rename Gunz.exe in your GunzUpdate folder to theduel.exe
    5. Remove the file in your client folder named GunzLauncher.ini if you have one.
    6. Ensure that WAMP is open and the WAMP server is online, including your Gunz Server.

    NOTE: If you don't wanna do those stuff, just open Notepad and type:
    @SKIP_UPDATE

    Save this file as:
    Name: GunzLauncher.ini
    Save as file type: (All Files)
    Location: Gunz Client Folder.

    This removes the auto update that prevents you from starting the game.

    Code:
    Rename the patch node Gunz.exe to theduel.exe
    4. Rename Gunz.exe in your GunzUpdate folder to theduel.exe
    Not necessary, theres a ZPatchBuilder that works with Gunz.exe and one for theduel.exe

    soz, but what do you mean by "make sure your gunz server is running."
    Like, gunz.exe running, or GunzLauncher.exe running, or matchagent, locator, matchserver running?

    EDIT: kk, i didnt add the patch.xml info file into c:\wamp\www\Launcher
    **** that was hard for such a little file. xD
    Thank you all, for your time and help.

    Really? Link please. XD

    @shortymant:
    Gunz Server: Use more common sense :) (No offence).

    if you have an older server like 2005 you do not need locator or match agent cuz the executable has a debug server and i've never seen an agent error on the old ones

    But i heard with versions older than 2005, it can cause some php screw ups,
    and i got a php registration page going through.

    gunz can be ran w/o locator, it is a long process and is realy not worth it

    @Linear88
    here is the Zpatchbuilder for theduel.exe
