Ran Online

Ran Online - discussion, questions and releases from the RaGEZONE community.

RaGEZONE has run since 2001 as a development community rather than a download site: the threads here are the working notes, releases and troubleshooting of people building servers.

Ran Online private server setup has been documented since 2006 and needs Windows Installer 3.1, .NET Framework and Microsoft SQL Server - 2005 Express in the older guides, MSSQL 2014 Express in later ones - plus RanGame1, GlogicServer and game.exe. Server files and source code are labelled by episode, EP3 through EP11 with EP7 most common, and Episode 6 Season 2. Named sources include GS, Juver, Asura, Neo, Tyranny and BabyRan, older ones tied to Visual Studio 2003/2008 and newer ones rebuilt in VS2022. Tooling covers rancp control panels, GMC editors, emulators, .rcc archives and default.charclass. Setups snag on MD5 versus non-MD5 game.exe, RCC passwords, Hamachi and forwarding every SERVICE_PORT.
