Quick question about CPW, got it all working and set up lovely but I was wondering. After the initial setup, the files I uploaded are still in cpw/files/new. Do I upload any changed files into the correct directory among all the other files or do I delete all the old files and only add in the new files I have modified before running the revision command?
Edit: If I still have files in the cpw/files/new folder does this mean the initial setup failed? My patcher connects fine and says the game is up to date but I read in this thread that there shouldn't be files in that folder after the initial setup has completed.
Really keen to get things going so if anyone could help it would be appreciated.
Another thing, once the unpacked client is uploaded, do I need to chmod the files?
Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. :D
Download, Framed Fonts with pw.mail results here:
http://dump.ru/viewer/preview/biggest/5486475.jpg :laugh:
Do you think that just because I write?
In previous releases, I quietly substituted for font files - everything worked.
Now - does not work ;)
can u make a "versions" file with what was added/changed/removed specially for tools? or there already is don't really like to look in 200 pages of posts or more
oh thanks for the info
It seems that the problem with the fonts do not help to solve, so I will look for experts who can fix elementclient.exe
Now there was another problem: the provider has to frequently change IP address. If the IP before changing less than 1 per month, you can now change 2 times a week.
Who ever put on the server, the service "noip"? What would change in the IP-address does not have to constantly change the settings.
The only question is one, is it possible to put the service "noip" on this release?
If yes - then I will seek ways.
If not - want to know right away that would not waste your time and work to build on.
Thank you in advance.
I have a problem, it is within the Auction house when gold trading.
If there is 2 gold prices ie; 10,000 and 100,000 and i wanted to buy the gold that is priced at 100,000 it says ok to the trade but then will take from the gold that is priced 10,000 instead of the higher priced one i bidded for.
I was wondering how i could go about fixing this?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Not too sure if I understand correctly. If you're looking to 'buy' gold say you're willing to pay 100,000 coin for 1 gold but there is 1 available for only 10,000 it takes it first since it's under what you're willing to pay...
If that's what you mean, then there is no way to change this... (and why would you want to)...
I knew you would say that lol...because it makes sense and i totally agree however the issue was brought up by players who wanted to give each-other a bit of a helping start in-game by giving some gold over to their friends.
Its a good thing because in some ways its a safety net if u miss cheaper gold you dont accidently jip yourself.
Im just not used to it being that way as im sure PWI was not that way.
Screw PWI neway...suprising how many players are flocking to private servers because of the way it has gone for the worse. Everyday more and more people join my server saying the same thing.
No complaints, just checking if its changeable but if not is perfect this way.
I will simply explain the benefits of having it this way.
Ty again 343 for your time and efforts.
Alright for one, during my Ubuntu installation, the only thing I typed in was my account. I noticed you had to type in a lot of things, did I do anything wrong? Also, I see your root account says root@perfectworld; mine says root@ubuntu. It's just a preference thing, right? I saw you type yours in when you were installing; again, I didn't get that option.
Also, the only thing that worked for me was the root account activation. Everything else you did in the video won't work for me. I'll type your code in and it will say 'cannot find xxxx file or directory' or something like that..
Last, how do I get all the parts of the ISOs into one ISO? I don't see any options on winrar or 7-zip.
Damn, I feel like such a noob.
I'm not really sure cause I don't know what you had to put in, but most likely not. It should be fine
It doesn't matter, its just the name.
Could you be a little more specific as to what didn't work and what kind of errors you go?
Ok so, make sure you have winRAR installed.
Next put all the .rar files in the same folder
Now right click on the first one (part one) and click extract
It should extract all the files into one .iso
Thanks.
Alright, I did the exact things he did in the video, and these are the errors that came up.
When I typed:
mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist.
cd /cdrom
This works, brings me to the /cdrom# like in the video, but when I type ls, nothing blue comes up, it just enters and goes back to /cdrom#
cp -R * /
cp: cannot stat '*': No such file or directory
And the next two things he types, they come up with the No such file or directory error too.
Anyway to fix it?
Oh and, when I try to extract a part 2 to the same place as the part 1, it asks if I want to replace it.
You need to mount the *.iso image first before run "mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom". By mount I mean load it in the vm.
ls brings up nothing because there is nothing there. The cdrom drive was empty when you mounted it. Fix this and everything will work fine.
You only need to extract the first part. Winrar is smart. When extract the first part it will extract all the other parts too.
So, how do I load it in? And, what am I loading in?
Hellswing, not trying to be mean here, but if you can't figure out how to read a tutorial on Ubuntu then hang it up now. This is the most complete, straight forward, and in my opinion easiest set of server/client files there is. 343 provides step by step directions on how to install these files. You mentioned you couldn't figure out how to mount the ISO, but yet tried going on to the next step of the process anyway?? That would be like getting into your car and if you couldn't find the right key to start it, just trying to stick it in gear and drive. If you can't get the first step nothing after it is going to work. Start at step 1 and stay there till you get it. There are many, Many, MANY tutorials on every part of starting up a server in these forums. Most here are willing to help, but you have to do something for yourself.
When you extract the *.rar files it will give you an *.iso file. This a virtual copy of a CD/DVD. What you need to do is you mount this *.iso so its readable by the virtual machine. Essentially you are sticking a CD/DVD in a virtual drive. Look through the menu options along the top and/or at your vmware settings to see if you can find an option to load a CD/DVD image.
I can't really be more help though as I have never used vmware so I don't know exactly where the option is.
@Hellswing
mount the iso to vm like this:
http://forum.ragezone.com/members/13...icture5061.png
the settings window should pop up
http://forum.ragezone.com/members/13...icture5062.png
click "CD/DVD (IDE)"
tick on "Connected"
click "Browse" and browse to the server iso
click OK
now you can do the mount command in the guide
Thanks for that.
Sorry, but if you look at the video, he pulled that window away; I didn't know what he did with it, nor did I know what that was going to do for him. I've got it now, thanks guys.
Yeah I know 343, I'll be more attentive.
Gah, I just got past the Mask Gen part, and on your video, it says you have that IP between the URL; mine has " http://" + lanip + "/admin/...", should I put that IP in there? Searching the thread, it looks like I'm the first person with it.
It also has '<%@include file="../../WEB-INF/.userconfig.jsp"%>' directly above the other stuff. When I did put the IP in there, I rebooted and tried everything; this is what came up when I went to the site
'Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /opt/lampp/htdocs/config.php on line 11'
So, I went back to the config.php, and this is what I noticed on line 11:
http://i44.tinypic.com/dlmkc8.png
Sorry for double posted...
I put in the LAN IP, but I still need help with the domain error. What should I edit on line 11 that the site doesn't recognize? Should I delete everything from 'or domain..' to '..Your Ser'?
The "your ser" is meant to be part of the comment which has overflowed to the next line. Just delete the "your ser" or put it back as part of the comment and it will fix the syntax error.
Entirely out of curiosity, (and because I'm a noob at this), does anyone know what the "Vigor Points" option in the character properties of pwAdmin does?
Vigor means chi, my guess is that it means their max chi or whatever..
Crap..dumbass question, but how do you get Ubuntu out of the..MySQL mode I guess. I need to get back so I can edit those files, and I can't access it because I've already ran the MySQL.

Hiya, i have a problem that has left me scratching my head.
Today i logged onto the game, in readiness to bid for my 4th land being Thousand Streams.
To my horror :scared: all the maps have reset...no-one owns any territories anymore.
I know i havent been fiddling in the database and neither have i changed anything server side except for adding some scripts for PvP Top 50 in the registration side.
The only thing that has happened adversely to the server is that registrations stopped working last night and i had to re-boot VM to get them working again.
Im totally at a loss as to why this happened and im hoping someone out here has an idea.
TY in advance.
BTW i quickly looked in /PWServer/gamedbd/dbhomewdb/dbdata/ for "city" and sure enough it is still there.
Im also adding that all factions are still present and functional.
Also..this server has been running for perhaps 3 months or so, it wouldnt have some reset function built in for every 3 months?
I also rebooted the server and still not show..:*:
Edit Solution- Whatever the cause was (im suspecting a corrupted database) i had made a backup last week and replaced the "city" with the backup from last week.
Everything booted up just fine and Territories were back minus 1 week of progress.
you can try the dbrebuild thing to avoid having to use backups, in most cases it can be recovered from logs
Thank you. Can't imagine why I didn't figure that out on my own. >.<
ok, I take it this is a bad thing? I was just thinking on installing it to try and run the pwAdmin web interface on the server itself. (not sure how I would route to it in the server itself. Seems like trying to address it's external ip internally would fail.)
Also, I would like to make it easier to distribute the client I've created to my friends. (Once I figure out how to route them to my internal server >.<) Is it possible to set up an ftp server or something? I'd also like to edit the web pages from the "IP address"/register page to create a download link.
Apologies again for being such a nooblet at this. Family is having loads of fun so far, now I want to bring in some friends!
I'm using VMware player.
I already tried exit; it says /init: line 271: can't open /root/dev/console: No such file
Then it has a bunch of '[79718.1xxxxx] [<c0xxxxxx>] commandhere' and I can't press anything.
[QUOTE=343;6691643]PLEASE Don't tell me you're using ubuntu desktop =S
Why do you say this 343? I am running Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop and it works just fine.
@Hellswing
Provide some screenshots and/or more information about what you are doing. To me "mysql mode" is the mysql terminal in which 'exit' should exit out of the terminal. 'Ctrl + C' may also work too. If all else fails then restart the vm and you shouldn't be in whatever mysql mode you are in.
---------------
In terms of Desktop Ubuntu vs Ubuntu Server;
Using Desktop Ubuntu is like using a fork to cut something. While it may do the job its not going to be anywhere as effective as using a knife. The only reason I can see to use Desktop Ubuntu is if you want to run a test server and you use Desktop Ubuntu as your main OS. In this case it may seem pointless to run Ubuntu in a vm on Ubuntu. I personally would still use a vm however as its easier to transfer data and you can just delete the vm when done instead of reformatting.
Gnome is also horrible in my oppinion. It is so slow compared to other GUI's. Xfce or lxde are much better. Ubuntu server also comes without all the extra crap that comes bundled with desktop versions.
Its also doesn't hurt for people to learn how to use a computer from just the command line and or without a mouse and things. You never know when you might need to use that knowledge for something else.
http://i43.tinypic.com/21m7oy8.png =\
I get initramfs thing every time I get on it, even after I exit it.
What version of ubuntu are you using?
And thats not mysql. Its busy box. Your Ubuntu install must have some errors for it to drop to busy box. Have you tried starting from scratch again?
It could also be caused by an incorrect setting on your virtual machine. Also how much RAM does your server have?
ok, I'm using ubuntu Server, but thought that installing the GUI, (apt-get ubuntu-desktop), would make some things easier. Unfortunately, it just ended up making it hard to get at some things in the terminal so I just un-installed it again. LOL
I'm running this on a little Acer L-100 that's been maxed out, but I still need all the resources I can get.
Hiya everyone, this is more of a query about a problem ive encountered.
Every 2 days, sometimes every day i notice the maps just stop working..sometimes its not for 3 days.
This is rectified by a server restart.
But im wondering if this instability is normal.
Im also wondering if i moved away from a VM and to a dedicated ubuntu installation (no vm) if this would perhaps improve stability.
My system specs are 16gig ram, AMD Phenom 6x, Static IP on a vm.
So i dont think its any issues with hardware.
Ty in advance.
I've never left my 'test' VM open this long to even know =\
Although I have left a PW server running on one of my physical machines for like a week non-stop, and did not have any problems of this sort... I would think running on a physical machine would be much more reliable than running in a VM (especially if the VM's "HOST OS" is windblowz!)...
Ty 343 for your reply.
I also have a question about the GM console and jail.
I have read and read over posts about the jail function.
From the admin notes i put in the coordinates for jail into the admin panel so that when i logged my char it was in jail.
In reading it seems to me that i could put a player in there and they would lose their teleport stones...however i have no idea how to "put a player" in there...apart from using admin panel to do so...and then they would still have their teleport stones.
From reading posts it was suggested many ways to do this but it seems this function of teleport stones deletion is automatic and so im making sure im not missing or mis-interpreting the jist of it.
Is there a way to teleport someone to jail from GM console?
If so how to do?
All ive managed to get work so far is ctrl G and these functions ive no problem with.
I feel ive missed a valid point here..i have no problem with doing the work if i need to but it seems the work is done but ive missed something important hence my noob question here.
Ty again.
In regard to jail, yes, it's all manually done -- From 'teleporting' (or 'placing') a character in there, and manually having to remove (if they have any) teleport stones...
I was thinking of creating a pwAdmin 'script' that would basically automatically do all this for you based on character # (place the character in there and remove any tele stones they may have), but never got around to it... I also am not aware of any ways a GM can 'teleport' using the GM menu/console =\
But the overall jist is, in place of 'banning' the people who 'mis-behave' I would place them in this JAIL (another reason I don't think it's too hard to manually do it)...
Add:
Also, in case no one noticed, JAIL *is* PvP enabled so these 'social parasites' can fight/kill each other all they want :lol:
Ty again 343 for your reply and help.
I ended up moving the server over to a physical machine, using a static ip.
Im absolutely brain dead atm from lack of sleep so please excuse me.
I have a problem that i cannot work out.
All my friends made new accounts but out of ten of them...2 had problems making an account.
The admin panel shows their account and phpmyadmin shows they have a password and that the accounts are present, however they are unable to log in.
Now if i go to force a password for them on this account it makes no difference either.
Its as if their accounts are corrupted...yet most other people have none of these issues.
In the end i make them an account manually.
Im using the script from renan thats posted here on ragezone, wondering if something here in renan script is causing it..or perhaps someone has encountered something similar and could shed some light on this.
Anyway any ideas would be muchly appreciated.
Ty for all your time and efforts.
Edit: Ok it was the Renan script. It may be for the fact that ive not put it in the database correctly...but it was put in using phpmyadmin (i think from memory)..but yeh anyway i went back to the original script for now.
My users were immediately able to make accounts and log in :8:
Also i noticed with the script that if a user made an account that was too large in name, it would go through but from admin panel it made the accounts section view "bug out" by affecting the size of the table around the account name and once again user was not able to log in.
Im not saying it was the script..im guessing its my ability or phpmyadmin to apply the data correctly to the sql database.
Anywho im a happy camper now as everyone can make accounts np :thumbup1:
Amazing package and thanks alot
so now for my problem and yes im a noob so plz bear with me,
After getting it fully set up ectectect....Win scp will not allow me to connect to The server to view pull and or edit files could someone please help me with this error.
the error is :connection refused
What is the client version?
1.3.6 Build 2265
Correct but do not forget; I do not support separating this 'package'. [I do NOT support using this server with OTHER clients, as I do NOT support using this client with OTHER servers!] There are enough 'customizations' that, if you were to attempt to use a different server with this client, or different client with this server, you WILL run into problems...!
ok couple of questions, have arisen since I woke up this morning to discover that my system is shut down, AND that it will no longer let me log on as root. (Still can't figure this one out, because I've reset the root password and it tells me it's incorrect when I try to login, yet when I use "su root" with the root password, rather than giving me an authentication failure, it says "Operation not permitted".)
Anyway, having to back up all of my files from a live CD now and re-image the system, has anyone tried this on 11.10?
Or, if I remain on 10.04, is it okay to apply updates?
On a side note, GUI's suck. I discovered this the hard way.
Also, I agree with what 343 says there. He's got a lot of stuff already inside of the package, it just might not be activated because it isn't fully functional. (Or for some other reasons I am sure =P ) In any case, the fun is in the discovery. Trying to merge parts of this, rather complete, release with other client/server releases is just begging for troubles and headaches. The fun is in the exploring. (Hell, I've spent more time tinkering with settings and modding to add some of the content existing within the release already than I have actually playing it.)
===>IM LAZY<=== GUI is for lazy people.
Hello 343, May I ask you something? What did you put in your models.pck? And what can be removed or moved to other *.pck? Because it's very huge (near 2gb.....) and if I update it, the models.pck will be corrupted because of size limit for *.pck
Please answer me... I love your release but if we can't update it it will be a big problem! >.<
Honestly Rom, just kept updating it for the longest time from official PWi, and then I made an add from JD I think it was for z9 and q20 .... Other than that you should know PWi is near the limit themselves so there wont be much you can delete... This is another reason I am officially giving up on 'staying up to date'... There's really no reason for it - we need to stop feeding off them especially since they're creating so much FAIL anyways :lol: That and/or figure out how to change the limit to 4GB...
Hmm Okay...
Romulan, if you want to add new models, why not just use configs.pck instead?
Maybe you're right. I'm also lazy. And also use a graphical interface.
I just do it comfortably.:cool:
By the way, I work under Ubuntu 11.04. Release - this, plus my revision.
Everything works fine, no problems I see.:ott1:
The only thing at install server, changing the order of actions, but this does not affect the server.
Bring some monsters in "configs", thus you free up space for other things in your "models". I did, no problem. Only way forward in elements.data and the *.ecm (the monsters).
Can't they?
TBH I have never tried for fash and armous, but it works for mounts, weps and aero.
Did you change the path inside the .ecm to point to the right .SMD file?
@Deron, a GUI eats extra RAM and makes the server unstable, a GUI is a BAD idea for any server of any kind
Fashion and armor do not have ecm paths simply a folder path to the skis. @ Rom, I have been digging through the client models and there is a ton of mobs, mounts, npcs from other games not even properly working in it. You can also go into where character skins are and remove all of the Tideborn skins as they are not needed. Just as an example, unpck models and do a search for this, then back out 1 or 2 folders to find a lot more unused things.Spoiler:
Ok thanks. Now my models.pck is around 1,6gb now. I could do better but it still better than 2gb :lol:
hello 343
I have a server using ubuntu OS 10.4
please guide me how to install the server pw in it
ummm yeah, the guide on the first page is aimed at a 10.04 distro.
If you look, that's what the two server images he has linked are.
His install video follows that pretty closely as well if you need further guide.
I hadn't tried it on 11.04 because of all the issues I had with the client on 11.04 desktop. As you can see above, it runs on 11.04 fine, so that will be my next server build.
I'd like to further note, that I don't think there's going to be a large enough difference between Server 9 through server 11 to really make any changes at all in how you install the server. It's just about how you install the OS. (even there the change is minimal.)
I run on 11.04 server edition ubuntu, DON'T USE DESKTOP EDITION
and yes, the video is pretty dam good (although I havn't watched the whole thing xD but I watched a bit, and ofc the rest is good, its 343 :lol::ott1:).
Yes, for the love of god
DO NOT run desktop edition...
Common sense should tell you "If I wanna run a server, maybe I should run SERVER edition" ???!!!
The links are all ok, I downloaded all of them (using a premium account of Megaupload valid 24 hours, really cheap and i don't need more than that) and the files were all ok. I'm trying to mount my own local server, but my only problem is that i'm using Mac... I'll try to do it anyway, and if that is possible, I'll post how.
Greetings, and thanks for your great job giving us all of this useful files!
PS: Sorry my bad english
PPS: If my english isn't so bad, please ignore the first PS lol
Вот вы прицепились к версии ОС. Я не вижу разницы.
Кому как удобнее - тот пусть так и работает.
Мне, лично, удобнее работать под 11.04 десктоп.
Проблем не вижу!
С самого начала я начал ставить на 11.04 десктоп.
Учитывая, что онлайн не поднимается выше 15, это нормально.
Не важно, по какой ОС вы будете устанавливать сервер.
Если руки кривые - то хоть 100 видео гайдов сделайте и напишите 100 страниц подробнейшей инструкции, это все равно не поможет. И будут еще тысячи тупых вопросов, типа "помогите, закачал, а оно не работает".
И таких вопросов, тут, очень много.
Прежде, чем начать заниматься сервером ПВ нужно иметь элементарные знания системы "Линукс", и только потом уже браться за сам сервер, и не как не наоборот.
_______________________________________________________________________
You are biased attitude to the OS. I do not see any difference.
Who as it is more convenient - so let him up and running.
I, personally, it is more convenient to work under 11.04 desktop.
Problems can not see!
From the beginning, I started to put on 11.04 desktop.
Given that the line does not rise above 15, it is normal.
It does not matter on what operating system you are installing the server.
If the hands curve - then at least 100 video guides make and write 100 pages of detailed instructions, it still does not help. And there will be thousands more stupid questions, like "help me, shook, and it does not work."
This topic is full of such questions.
Before you start doing server PW should have a basic knowledge of the system "Linux", and only then take up the server itself, and not as the reverse.
I have a problem i cannot fix, and ive tried everything i can possibly think of.
I have this release running on a physical machine now for 1 week or so.
Yesterday we did a TW (first one) and straight after TW was won..the Game Daemon Database crashed..in admin i could see it had turned itself off.
Consequently the world map goes offline about 8 seconds into the startup from admin panel.
When im starting up the services from terminal everything runs fine with no errors and continues to run fine even after the database fails.
Ive tried the rebuild.sh option and this works fine with no errors..but still this problem of database shutting down occurs.
I was experimenting with new stats in the weapons that day..ie using th hex generator to make g16 to g17 with new stats which i used in the TW.
I think that if that was problem surely server would have crashed prior as it did when i tried to restat a ring (deleted that ring and for another time)
So im at a loss..did the rebuild, tried a dozen times to restart but 8 seconds later it crashes.
So my question is what is the path to the logs for the game database daemon logs to see if i can see any errors..and does anyone ever have this problem and can suggest remedy?
Thank you for your time to read about my problem.
Like I said...Quote:
There is no debate here
This is not a debate, this is not just an opinion of mine, this is a fact...
Sadly, again, I have no clue... My 'test' servers aren't really even played on ever, let alone left up for weeks... =\
:(: ok ty 343.
Could you also please suggest which logs i could search for crash information relating to the game database daemon?
Plain of farewells seems to me where my db has crashed each-time...just a theory but 2x now its happened on this land acquisition.
My problem was trying to create a virtual machine... when running, the VBox stops, and appears an error message. I tried to use Parallels, but another message, saying that my system doesn't supports virtualization. So I'm trying VBox in Windows, but my only problem for now is the cdrom device, but the entire package is OK.
Editing: The error was mine, the device is connected when I turn on the machine lol
Re-edit: The machine never recognized the device... how I solved it? Simple, just copy & paste... so I could finally advance trying to mount my server :P
Re-re-edit: When I get to the step of installing xampp, lampp, etc., the system gave a message "Permission denied". How can you solve it? Easy. Just enter this in the terminal:
chmod u+x ./setup.sh
./setup.sh
Is almost the same if you try to run ./start.sh
PS: Sorry again for my bad english... and I'm a little bit noob using Ubuntu, but I'm trying to get better in both things :P
[QUOTNE=343;6712548]The log will be gamedbd.log in /PWServer/logs (if you use pwAdmin to start the server)[/QUOTE]
Ty 343 i do not know the correct command for terminal to access this log will try google when i get home from work, i can cd into this folder easy..i want to say about my db issues that both times this has happened, first time on vm was corruption of db and second time complete corruption was from tw after acquiring land (pretty sure was plain of farewells) each time 2 factions were involved.
First time i did notice bug where land owner name didnt show for a fa tion at first..then followed further corruption and finally dbd fail. Second time on physical machine immediately after we won plain...dbd fail permanently.
Why i write all this? So you know. I dont like being harbinger of bad news...and i was devastated when the dbd failed..i rlly think there might be tw bug...wondering also is this just an isolated case. Not to nag and not to complain..not to even ask for fix...just so you know. Ty for all your time and help.
Posted via Mobile Device
you can just nano the log. Although personally, I set the game files up to be viewable on the network and use textpad for looking through the logs. Depending on the available resolution of your server, you could also try using Putty to remote in. scrolling screen is a lot easier than using shift+pgup/down.
Also, for the earlier comment about using Desktop, you're going to want as much memory available to your PWServer as you can. Using the GUI desktop sucks up a bit of that memory and takes up extra CPU time that could be used elsewhere.
Real servers don't use desktops. I learned this the hard way.
does this client/server has tideborne race and genies?
how can create and add custom items or equipment?
Up to now, we're still using the old server files (1.2.6) with some upgrades in items.
DO NOT ASK ABOUT 'new classes' HERE !
Why oh why do people continue to ask silly questions that could be answered in mere seconds with a quick search, or EVEN BY READING THE THREADS ON THE MAIN PAGE ABOUT 1.4.4
Anyway, to date, you are not going to get the new content, we are using the original 6 classes.
I'm not going to answer your question about custom items or equipment, it is another silly question answerable by either your brain or the search button.
I will however, give you a clue, pwtools.codeplex.com
DON'T ASK AGAIN
I need some help... I did everything as 343 explains, if something was missing, I found it watching the video or google (avoiding kitties's deaths), and I could run successful the server... but not pwAdmin or the game itself... i mean, i can run the pwAdmin, but that says "Error database connection"... I tried before with the hrace009 server and I could, but I'm more interested in the 343 server cause is more complete and I can do it the same way at a real machine, not virtualizing... so.. please help me T_T I tried to find the database, or the jsp with the function bind-server (or something like that, I don't fully remember at this moment) to change the ip of the server, but I didn't find it. Can anyone give a clue about what I'm doing wrong? I mean, I'm using Ubuntu Server 11.04 LTS and following every step, so, I don't have any idea where I made a mistake...
PS: And if who explain my mistake and helps me to solve it, explains it in Spanish, I'll give my first child his/her name (?)
ok first off grumble grumble
jk
Man you guys are frackin awesome for releasing this PW server / client combo
It was very difficult to locate but my wife loves PW and we dont feel cool with the state of the live version with bots hackers spammers ect...
So Rock on
Is the main page one the most current release of this compile i only ask because it is over 100 pages and thats really gruling to try to read through
And i run a wow server and an everquest server both with really good bots coded in as artificial players does this release by chance use any kind of server based bots ?
oh and pwtools.codeplex.org appears to be down
It depends on who you ask I guess LOL, but seriously this is the most up to date (for what we have, yes)...
That being said, no, it is NOT current (with the 'official' game) {it is not 1.4.4}... The version we have and have been using for quite some time now is not a server emulator like most other games -- it is a leak of the official server files, and is version 1.2.6/1.3.6 from what I/we know... Well, the server itself is/was 1.2.6 but we can use up to either PW_MY 1.3.1 or PW_CN 1.3.6 client :wink:
Also, no we do not have any 'bots' as you describe ("artificial players") for this or any other PW release...
hehe its cool maybe ill find a way to add multiple pets or somethin later for raiding since itll be only 3 people on server
I just say all ovet talk of linux for most the servers but i also see some win binaries I just started the download and i suspect it will take along time for me to get does your release use windows or linux? using the main release of server client and dev or will i need to install a VM and run a linux box?
as for me asking if this was most up to date i meant the links for your specific release is page one top post always kept current with Your release or would i have to sort through 100 pages to find updates to the release?
I don't think you will be able to add multiple pets too easily.
The Perfect World Servers are compiled for Linux only so you can only run the server files in a Linux environment. You can however run them in a virtual machine which is what a lot of people do.
The client is Windows however.
Yes the links on the first page are the most recent version of this release.
Correct, the server itself is linux only; the client is windows, and most if not all the tools (PW_DEV.iso) are windows too... :wink:
darn lol i was hoping to avoid linux its always been to difficult for me to ever use
But i think i can manage with a vm with ubuntu i hear its able to run out of the box fo most part and i get the basics of it to get basic stuff going im not sure how well ill understand doing the PW but ill try ty for the answers again the fact you guys are even doing this is a credit to the human race
Is there by chance a compatible precompiled windows based server that i can slip in and still use th DB and all other server peices if not its cool
I have a minor form of dyslexia and some other problems that well make things like programming a near impossibility for me i can understand some but the more there is to dig through the less i am able to understand what i am looking at thank you guys again i hope that you guys can continue to keep his up unharassed by others in communities that want to simply profit soly off work like yours and by the gaming companies
My suggestion would be to use VMware like I do for my 'test' / 'build' server... I made this release in ISO's on purpose so that they could be used in any which way people want. Being an ISO you can burn it to physical media to use for an installation on a physical machine. Of course ISO's can also be mounted in most VM applications including VMware... (not to mention tools such as daemon tools, granted daemon tools isn't for Linux)... Or programs (such as the one I used to create the ISO's) PowerISO... I certainly felt ISO was the best choice since they're rather versatile :D:
One thing that I cannot stress enough is DO NOT USE DESKTOP EDITION, make sure you use SERVER edition! Because first of all, even if you 'do not know linux' you're never going to learn anything if you use a 'gui' not to mention GUI is NOT meant for SERVERS (consumes and wastes too many system resources that should be used by/saved for server processes)... I have a link to the proper server editions to use, I personally recommend to always use an LTS release if going with Ubuntu... Also I would highly recommend Ubuntu to a beginner as it is a pretty solid release... I also recommend (as long as you're not using an ancient PC) to use 64-bit...
As I said earlier the server is not an emulator, it's a 'leak' of the official server files -- so the ONLY OS it will run on is Linux, there will never be a Windows server for PW... The closest you can get is running your Linux PW server in a VM (using windows as your host OS)... So, I hate to crush any hopes or 'dreams' you may have had of ever seeing this server ever run natively on Windows, but it simply is NOT going to happen (ever)... Plus, windows is just not stable which is why most 'real' servers run on Linux/Unix, since they ARE stable... (Microshaft Windblowz Server [edition] is just a joke!)...
If you download everything and then follow the instructions and the video in post number 2 you should be alright. Be warned, the video is a little dated; so follow the written instructions closer than the video. Mainly I changed around a few config files, some of which aren't even in the video (because I added them after the video was created, such as this one: /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/2/webapps/pwAdmin/WEB-INF/.userconfig.jsp) So just remember to use the video as basic guidance and stick like glue to the written instructions :wink: But yea, as the video shows it's mainly an automated process (for the most part) and you can go from a completely empty HDD to a full up and running PW server in about 20 minutes :):
i do run on an older machine i have a bunch of p4 2.5 ghz boxes i got from work im running on one is my dedicated server for wow and EQ and will be fore this also it got only 2gb ram but 16 gb of pagefiles split on seperate drives
Sorry, I meant pwtools.codeplex.com (don't know why I typed .org...)Quote:

-facepalms at self-
I have a sad, horrible feeling that he is not.
I cannot believe I am a part of this generation.
-slits wrists-
Ok, well just in case he is not, I will state it one more time HERE (even though it's not really on topic):
YOU NEVER WANT TO USE MORE THAN A 1:1 RATIO OF PHYSICAL RAM TO SWAP - EVER
IE... if you have 2GB of PHYSICAL RAM,, you NEVER WANT MORE THAN 2GB OF SWAP - EVER
PERIOD
This is NOT a debatable subject either - it is a FACT - think of it as 'computer physics'
PERIOD
343, you entertain me.
(IN A GOOD, NONSEXUAL WAY.)
PERIOD.
