Title. To avoid many threads where the solution is usually very simple, I thought it'd be nice to attempt to organize things a bit. I'll try and help anyone who posts here with a question.

Please provide ample context in your post, though.


I'm sure others will swoop in to help as well.

I think you are in the wrong area, this is just to show project development.

Thank you very much for your help and for opening this thread, in my case it will be very helpful.

I am trying to create a private server but I have several doubts, maybe some of you can help me.

When installing the "Microsoft SQL Server 2005" and the "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express", should I install the most recent version of 2019, or should it be 2005? And I have to download it from the Microsoft website, right?

About the files I need to create the server, do I just need this:

https://forum.ragezone.com/f245/gunz-1-5-complete-source-1200915/

or should I download it from another thread?

Sorry if I'm asking dumb questions, I just don't know where to start and I'm a bit clumsy.

Thanks again for your time and effort.

If you are fine with updating the source to VS2019, that link will do fine. Just note you will need to fix various things to get it to build on anything that is not Visual Studio 2003.

If you aren't, opt for one of the repacks. Jorklenis' repack is basically just a poop ton of copy and pasted code from random source leaks. It's got a lot of stupid/broken poop in it, but if you just want a server up, it'll do.

In terms of MSSQL, I was able to run off 2019 with no issues whatsoever.

So..., Where can I find the working "save password" released/code?

Don't ask "how can I copy and paste"

Ask "How can I do this?"

First, I would say Do not introduce a "save password" function to your server.

The traditional method Gunz servers have been using is horrible. It saves their username and password in Windows' registry, in plaintext.

This is a bad idea.

If you don't care about the security of your users, read these.





So when they login, you Write their password to a registry key, e.g "password".
When the client starts, it will Read from the registry, then populate the MEdit widget on the login frame.

I'm not going to spoon feed you code. You run a server, so learning is necessary now.

Spoon feed me the graphical code for the client :p

Not sure if this thread is still available for questions, but I'm quite new to the forum so I'll try it here.

I used/configured the Gunz 1.5 repack by Jur13n (the clean version) and set up everything on my local machine (Windows 11).
The locator and Match server open fine,however, the MatchAgent program won't open, and the corresponding dump displays that:

"The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access."

When I try to log-in on the server with the client, the server crashes and its dump shows the same error message as the MatchAgent program.

I have tried running as admin, but to no avail... Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

Rebuild with the Match Agent source code and try again.

What write is causing the crash?
