Hi everyone,

NEW: Come hang, ask questions, or provide feedback to my new discord server where we talk about maple dev and answer some frequently asked questions:


Looks like a lot of people are having trouble setting up their servers, and in an effort to revive the community, here's an updated video tutorial on how to setup your own v83 MapleStory server using the latest HeavenMS build.



Using Netbeans IDE in this tutorial, despite IntelliJ being superior because it has a smaller learning curve. Java 8 is what Heaven was built in, so we'll stick with that. MySQL workbench because thats what I'm used to.

NEW:
How to Setup HeavenMS Using IntelliJ:



----------------------------------------------------------------------

Java 8 (DOWNLOAD & INSTALL THIS FIRST):


HeavenMS (Credits to Heaven Team - I am not associated with them apart from being a big fanboy):


Netbeans:


MySQL Installer (IMPORTANT: Use LEGACY password authentication):


STREDIT (Credits to Diamondo?):


COMMIT 397 (v83 Maplestory ALL IN ONE):


Missing DLLs (shouldn't need if you download the all-in-one above):


HaSuite (repacker, for editing WZ):


Other Tools:


Please keep in mind that HeavenMS is an open-source project. It is NOT perfect. Feel free to use different libraries and frameworks, and even higher Java versions. Just make sure you know what you're doing first.

YouTube decided to copystrike me so I had to upload it to Vimeo. Any questions or feedback, please post here. A like would be appreciated.

One last thing: if you need specific help, or would like to commission my services for creating your own server or help with development, please reach out via Discord: Z41N#4573

Best,
Z

Don't tell me... DAZIUNDA LLC, RIGHT?! We need to join together on some sort of campaign site and complain to Nexon Korea and demand answers as they're the mastermind behind this nonsense! Heck, they even strike'd a video about alternatives to the now defunct maplestory sprite simulator BannedStory 4!

That's evidence to show how despicable they really are! They are LITERALLY torturing YouTube users that uploaded videos of private servers from recently or over a decade ago! That's got to go against YouTube's TOU policy! TORTURE.

Here: and Hopefully these improve your message in your counter notification message.

And they say litigation is too expensive and time consuming eh? So that increases my chances of getting that strike removed under the fair use clause!

Don't delete that image or comment. I may need that piece of information to resolve this problem for my end too. I experienced something similar to this while setting up my PS too.

I have found the solution for this:

1) open "mysql intsaller"
2) choose reconfig mysql server
3) select "authentication method tab"
4) choose "use legacy authentication method"
5) stop and restart the db

Good luck.

Guys, listen to this tip I got from Asynchrobatic (this is a CODE RED):

"I'm gonna be honest, this seems like some university student who is trying to take things down in the hopes they get hired by those companies. (I have SERIOUS doubts that the clients they have listed are legitimate.)

They don't have a KR-BRN listed at the bottom.
I can't find that company name registered.
The address they have listed is for the Keimyung College University.
The phone number is for the business start-up incubation center at the college university.
Their messages are super unprofessional.
The FAQ on their website essentially admits that it's one person.
The law firm they have listed seems to be legitimate, but I have doubts that they've actually consulted with them beforehand."

So this so-called "DAZIUNDA LLC." may actually be some sore-loser who doesn't know how to appreciate privilege escalation in Unix operating systems and video games and just wants to ruin other people's lives so everyone plays legitimately. So if you did get copyright striked or terminated, dispute it immediately by listening to these guys: and . I smell a rat or something even worse.

Heck, they even locked their comments on their facebook page now.

Now considering my case, I don't know if I'd be able to dispute because TECHNICALLY it is Nexon's content we're all using, no?

Hey Z41N the tutorial worked great for me, I'm able to start a server and play with my friends
There's just one issue.. If I try to change the source code and rebuild it won't implement the changes..
I noticed that when I click Run in the IDE it outputs an error related to not being able to read the config.yaml file, is this a known issue?
I ended up deleting the source and building again just to see that this error persists.
If this sounds familiar to someone I would love some tips.
Screenshot of the exception & the code that caused it:

What exactly did you change? Also, you should not be running from the IDE directly (unless you know what you're doing). You should make your changes > build > ensure the new JAR file is added to your dist folder > then run the server via launch.bat

same issue here and actually even with the database I kept getting the syntx error or whatever even when I changed the # line. oh and the heavenms client is locked right now behind invite to the G drive.

FIX: I fixed the first problem by just following the character thing at the end of the video and it fixed the net.server.server

Still dunno if I can get the client and if I need that localhost launcher which showing trojan and how would I connect through WAN ?
