Hello, in the last few years I have had a "plan" to build a Priston Tale serverI know the basics
I have been administrator of some servers but I never had one
I searched a lot, files,arquives,codes
I donwloaded like 15 Gb of archives and i don't realy know what do it that

however everything is very old and many links don't even work anymore, this forum was the only one that still has some information about

you who have been there the longest, answer mewhat do I need to create a server?if possible send me links with files, tutorials

I just want to have a good server to play with my friends and who knows how to be a good server for everyone

Can use a VM I have created, everything already setup and working.
- This is just good to test first run on, poke around, see how things work.
-
- Install guide:
Or you can try setup your own server from scratch
Basic steps below;

1: Computer/VM with (preferably windows server)

- I suggest Windows server 2012 R2

2: MSSQL + SQL Server Management Studio
- I suggest MSSQL 2008 R2
-
- SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe
- SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe
- When setting up SQL server make sure to setup SQL login, DO NOT use windows Authentication login

3: Server files (plenty of binaries available here) can use source if you are feeling adventurous.
- Easy server to use is EPT v3215
- https://forum.ragezone.com/f399/ept-3215-surprise-1167863/

4: SQL database creation scripts/raw clean .mdf database files to import.
- SQL Clean Data:

5: SQL.dll generator. One made by our lovely EuphoriA
-This generates the sql.dll file (and others) that goes into your server folder to give connection between server and sql database
- original
- backup

6: Website to register accounts
- Use IIS (Internet Information Services) Install ASP plugins
- I have a simple website template here:
- Update SQL connection info in functions/database.asp
- For clan update SQL connection info in ServerMain/settings.asp and Clan/claninsert.aspx


Hope this info helps, good luck!

how can i use source btw?

a little tutorial for me to situate myself

I’ve already learned that it’s through Visual Studio, but from now on I don’t know howdo I have to open a "file" in VS or should I open a "code" and then compile it to become a "client" (executable)?

I'm really lost in this part of Source

sorry to be so boring and so inquisitive is that I want to learn exactly how things are done and here was the only place that I found relevant content and that still has useful links / tutorials

and people willing to teach

thanks ^^

U just need to open the game.sln and server.sln to build the .exes
Don't forget to change the sql.dll to database.dll and change the sql connetions in server.sln before start building in release x86.

Please do not link to another forums. That is against the rules.

- OnTopic
If you have any problems compiling the source, create a new thread here.

but I didn't mention any forum name

I, once, told my brother that the(a) game has (got to have) a (little) bit of "brute force"...


I told him like "oh! if you want the game, you will have to conquer and direct 'The Brute Force'...



LaLaa.. lalá.. la la láa...


Edit: And we like you :3

Sheen was refering to a Xueeradm post, not yours.

By the way, probably you are a Brazilian, look the videos of this youtube channel

I strongly recommend the tutorial for Windows Server 2012 Guide, work for me 100%

Sunny, do you recommend using your virtual machine as the basis for creating a new server? Or was it created just for learning purposes?

I would not recommend using the vm to start your own public server, you can, it will work (maybe) no one's going to stop you.
The vm is more for personal use testing, most likely won't handle that well with many users connecting.
It is better to build your own on a dedicated machine, customise how you want it to work and gain KNOWLEDGE!

Check out the releases section, lots of servers there.
You have the OG 2012 source to build upon, plus zero PT which uses the 2012 source code that has been built upon.

Got a few, please do not ask for assistance in setting them up, I have no idea.
Just check out the files, have a play see if there is of anything of use to you.
