I <3 you, 343.
no im quite serious like i asid im running off a bunch of older work computers i got for free all of them were origionally setup ad workstations not servers and not all were same model the only full form box i had was also the oldest so i did not have any larger ram for it but unlike my other boxes i was able to add 4 hard drives and external usb drives as my media server the internals atr a main 500 gb a 300 gb and 2 20 gb drives it also has the option to add in my dual network cards from a server currently if i turn them on about 8 eithernet ports if i want to run it as a network host also but my router does fine
i didnt know about the 1:1 thing its never failed me to max out the swaps and spread them out on multiple drives do you think having swaps across multi drives may change that ratio? each drive has a split partition up front dedicated for swap file but mybe i should change that to match the ram for each seperate drive i guess?
Ive always ran apps and alot of items at once that when i let windows manage swap its never enough it always autoconfigs me to recomended 3gb (aprox) swap and still asks to boost it on me when i get to much going so i just max naturally to 4096 on each so it stops pestering me
It's hard to explain. I didn't say you can't, but; you can't :ott1:
Think of it like a car that has no rev limiter (granted I know almost all now-a-days do =\) sure you could rev the engine up / run it at 10,000 RPMs, but do you think that's really good for the engine when it redlines at 8k RPMs -- NO... Well think of it as the same way for swap. There is no real applicable situation where you would want to run more than 1:1
can i use old pc with this spec for my test server?
cpu --> p4 2.6ghz
ram --> 2x 1gb ddr1
gpu --> Nvidia FX5200 128mb 128bit
hdd --> 160gb
Since when does a GPU mean anything for a server? Well, just in case you do not know, never...
Moving on, you MAY be able to run a 'test' server as long as you only open ONE map at a time... any more than that and you'll most likely run into major slow downs and or complete freezing... This release uses a LOT of ram to have all maps open simultaneously (16GB MINIMUM)... Although like I said, you MAY be able to get away with starting the server with just the world map...
It would certainly be a 'stretch', but if you're only looking to 'mess around' with this on your own -- I think it could be done (just do NOT try to run an 'open' server with those kind of specs!)!
Also, I hope you have an entirely separate machine to run the client from, as the machine you've described would NOT run both the server and the client (one in a VM)...
Amazon EC2 Instance Types
Well there are cases where a GPU is useful, but it is somewhat rare. Render farms and encryption brute forcing run very well with CUDA/OpenCL
@343>> that was my gaming pc way back in 1990's and yes i will only use this as test server and only 1 character to be entered.
as of now i have an i7 machine to be used for client. i am a noob about private server and i am 100% sure that i will make a mess learning and exploring on how to run a server.
so with that old rig i will never have headeache even i cause too much mess.
ps.. sorry for the bad english:):
Ummm..Haaai '-' I clicked on server root part 1 after I downloaded part 2 .. and ;-s it says : burn the disk..or something like '-'im totally scared lol o_o =]]What I should do?=D
You need to be logged on as root or sudo the command. (Not certain that sudo will work though, I always just log in as root.)
Note: You should also have been logged into root when you copied the files.
That's the only reason I can think of as to why you would get that error.
I made sure that I was logged in as root when I copied all the files and when I started the whole process. I am still logged on as root as of this moment. I didn't think of trying the chmod 755 -RV /PWServer, but I did chmod the start.sh file.
I just did the chmod to the PWServer directory and still I get the message Access Denied when I run start.sh

Any other ideas? Thank you all btw for helping. I really want to get this up and running. I have ran private servers in the past of KalOnline and WoW, but this one really has my interest.

Kubuntu = no
Do not use a GUI version of Linux.
@Eclaire
Use 7-zip or Winrar to extract the *.iso from the archive and mount it in vmware. Or burn the *.iso to disc if you aren't using a virtual machine.
I will try again by reinstalling linux and the server and not using the gui at all. Cross your fingers while I cross my eyes. :)
Use Ubuntu server 10.04 LTS version
Got to say took me a long time to get working (6 months) and i must say that im rather impressed brilliant job. Got it allworking just need to make a few upgrades to my server n then ill open the ports to a few people. once testing is completed. just one thing any hints about houw to edit the boutique....
THANK YOU.
When you upload your files (via winscp I think your using) did you set the upload permission to 775?
If not, do the following:
In winscp at the top go to options, then Preferences, then go to transfer. Look for "Upload Options" then "Set Permissions", if it's unchecked, check it. In the text box below it, replace it with this without the quotes: "rwsrwsr-t" Then, click OK at the bottom to apply.
Hope that helps.
I use this, it works well and I would recommend it:
Download | Ubuntu
this is a noob question but right now im stuck been searching forums for awhile cant find anything but anyways the server_root.iso wont mount in my vbox (im useing 4.1.8 only one i could find) and i get could not get storage format of the medium (directory to my server root file) (VERR_NOT SUPPORTED) then i hit details and get "Failed to open the CD/DVD image C:\Users\Cory\Desktop\Server Stuff\server_root.iso.
Could not get the storage format of the medium 'C:\Users\Cory\Desktop\Server Stuff\server_root.iso' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).

so i figured i would just manually place them in vbox using winscp but vbox is refusing the connection any idea how to fix these two problems? i know this probably aint the place to ask this but i figured it related since im using 343's release o.o
P.S: also when opening ports i know you have to open 29000 8080 and 80 but open them TCP or UDP or both?
P.P.S: i even downloaded a older version of vbox i used before and the iso still wont mount the only thing i can really think of to do would be use winscp to put the files there myself but im not completely sure where they go anyone have any ideas?

ok I think that I am almost there. I installed ubuntu 11.10 server and copied all the files from the server install disks, configured all the files and was able to start the server with the ./start.sh with no problems. The only issue I have now is that when I run ifconfig, it tells me that my inet addr is :10.0.2.15. I went through and changed all the ip addresses to that and restarted the linux box and the ./start.sh upon restart.
Here is my problem now, when I try to open a webpage to the server at http://10.0.2.15 or http://10.0.2.15:8443/pwAdmin I get the message that I cannot connect to the address. Also, I am unable to connect to the server with WinSCP at all. I thought I had it going when these issues arose. Any advice on what I should do next? Thanks

What is my IP?
use this ip =))
I prefer http://icanhazip.com ,mostly because you can easily integrate it into scripts without doing crazy formatting.
Make sure you follow the guide very closely. You should only have to change the IP in one place I believe. Also make sure that Jetty or Tomcat is started before you try going to the pwAdmin page.
Once you have sorted your networking and have established an internet connection on your server then run
This will install and ssh server so you can transfer files using something like Filezilla or WinSCP.Code:apt-get update
apt-get install openssh-server
Make sure you are not a using a GUI release. Most people that come here with permission problems these days seem to be using some sort of GUI. A GUI is completely unnecessary.
My advice personally AcidRayne would be to ditch VBOX all together. Go download VMware player :wink: :thumbup:
VMware Player: Run Windows 7, Chrome OS - Free Download for a Virtual PC
If I remember right you will still need to create an account there, not that it's not free and easy to do...
VMware is by far the BEST VM software out there !
So the ip that it gives me here, will be the ip that I use in all the places mentioned in the guide and video, such as:
I made sure that I have the latest version of openssh-server installed, and I see that port 22 is open when I run 'netstat -a'Quote:
Make sure to 'configure' your servers IP in the following files:
/etc/hosts
/opt/lampp/htdocs/config.php
/opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/2/webapps/pwAdmin/WEB-INF/.userconfig.jsp
I will try these though and see if I can get it going. Thanks
_____________________________________________________________________
Tried with no success. Still unable to get to the registration page when I type in my wan ip address. In the video, it shows 343 typing in just the ip address of the vmware station server that he is running on which was 10.0.0.51 and it was able to access the page just fine. However, when I try to do the same from my win7 browser on the same machine that is running the vbox, I get that I could not connect to the ip address. Please help. I can feel I am so close and probably just missing something small.
you logged out, and back in as 'root' correct ?
add:
and thank you for the testimonial on how VMware IS indeed better than vbox (I think some people here do not believe me :(:)

weird... (as can be seen in my video in post #2) provided everything is done as 'root' there should be no need to alter any permissions =\
Is the very first thing you did after installing linux creating a password for root, logging in as 'root' and so on? That's the only thing I can think of, is something (even copying over the files not as root) that may be causing that =\
Wow! Never seen that - that's some BS :(:
What distro and version are you using?
Guys help me. During the installation of Ubuntu-10.04.3-server amd64.iso
I can not jump labels for data entry, user name and password u and so on, help me, I can not do something or not put. Thanks in advance. Ivin for bad english, I'm from Russia

maybe but that would mean i would have to chmod all the scripts which i shouldnt have to do if im logged into root ive never had this problem ive done 343's installation twice before one time my system crashed and i lost everything second time real life stuff got in the way so i deleted everything (dont ask why) and now im trying to do it again and im running into so many errors its not longer tolerable if i could get past permission denied i would be happy so i guess i should chmod u+x setup.sh then? i guess i can try that and see what happens
EDIT: okay so i typed cd /root/notes
chmod u+x ./setup.sh
./setup.sh and its running setup so i guess that means im going to have to chmod ./start.sh as well?
ANOTHER EDIT: alright so i had to chmod u+x mysql apache tomcat and tomcat2 ./start.sh my sql started fine apache started fine tomcat and tomcat 2 came back with ./.tomcat (and ./.tomcat2)start.sh: line 5: ./startup.sh: permission denied so obviously im thinking i have to chmod u+x them as well but im not sure of file directory anyone know ?
NUMBER 3: okay so now i chmodded them and now when i run start they cant find catalina.sh what now?
Can't find means it's not there xD. Verify the path where your script is calling the script.
You can verify the flags by typing ls -al inside the directory where the scripts are:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 170 2011-08-16 16:18 .tomcat2_start.sh
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 171 2011-08-16 16:18 .tomcat2_stop.sh
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 168 2011-08-16 16:18 .tomcat_start.sh
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 169 2011-08-16 16:18 .tomcat_stop.sh
See the x (executable) flag there?
im just reinstalling to try this again also when i was in winscp the files looked like r-xr--r-- or something like that
EDIT: still getting permission denied idk anymore ive followed the guide step by step and i get the same error every time idk could it be because back when i had vbox it wasn't supporting server_root.iso (wouldnt let me mount it) so i unpacked it then put it back into another iso i made myself? should i redownload his server root iso and delete everything and start from square one with fresh server files download or what?
My server test run perfectly in Vbox without any issue
well i posted the error here a few pages back before i think but idk wtf i did differently but its all fine now O_o everything is good only thing i have a problem with now is http://XXX.XXX.X.XX/pwAdmin wont connect but i probably messed up my port forwarding gonna call my ISP tomorrow and what not but thank you guys for all your help could NOT have done this without and thanks 343 for this amazing release just got some problems i have to work out on my side
EDIT:thats the error i got trying to mount server_root.iso in vbox you asked about fluxboxQuote:

I have no experience with VBOXs or VMWAREs. Did you try mounting it inside the box (copy the iso inside the virtualized environment) and mount locally?
Hello:)
So i got the server up and running (thanks for this great guide),i've got one problem...i can't connect with WinSCP to it, i tried ufw allow 22 but it didn't work so i decided to ask for help here. Thank you :)

Password for PwAdmin on http://x.x.x.x/admin/
Hey initial setup went ok other than a hickup connecting vm to lan and external but bupassed with hamachi gateway mode got the server up i believe got to admin page and booted server...
Was unable to login to the server with the game client however
Unknown reason i had world loaded only did i need more maps loaded?
I also changed the pwAdmin PW to pwAdmin so it was easier to remember but now after a reboot i am unable to log back in to the admin page
i have tried old pw of root and every typo i can think of to see if it was my bad
could you tell me where to access the file that contains the pwAdmin user and pw? I see it was not on the mysql i tried that already
actually can you pop a spot up in post 1 or 2 with a list of all log file locations and all config file locations that we would need if we are having issues and to modify any settings that are needed between diff computers? even if in a spoiler box that way we can always know where to look for when we mess up lol
All passwords are listed in post #2
do not forget one of the password files is an .htaccess file :wink:
ok up and running slow cause my server box it actually has 3x 256 mb sticks of pc 100 i thought it had more but i was wrong most i was allowed to allocate to Virtual box was 380 mb ram How sad but it ran with just base world loaded combat was extremly slow to initiate but thats all my end and i will try to find an alternate machine for the server
Thank you for making a very complex release into a simple and easy to use and setup release i was wondering if you had any hacks to allow other class race combos my wife lovees the winged elves but wants to do a venomancer as one...
Do you have a way to do all race / all class or would the quests and such just not be compatible?
I never played live my self cause each time i gave it a shot the servers were nothing but spam and retarded players acting like a new players harpin on everyone else for asking normal and dumb questions alike lol
OK, so here is the new problem, I am unable to download the client, or rather part 6 of either the 'un-packed' variety or the first set of the 'parts'. Anyone have access to the whole client, in 1 file that they would be willing to make a torrent of please. I am so close, but can't really appreciate the server being up, without a client to utilize it. Thanks again for all of your help.
BTW the error that I keep getting is that the file is broken, everytime I download it and have even tried on a seperate computer to get the files.
part 6 is online ...
I see it is there, and I start to download it, but it times out at either 14.7mb or 21.7 mb. I've been trying all day to get this one file, PW_Client.part6.rar. Could somebody please download and reup to another site for me to download from. Thank you

*posts this yet again* Free File Hosting, Online Storage & File Upload with FileServe
anyone can help me in editing items? i have installed the server and run the client and its ok now. but i can't open any of the tools in the pw_dev.iso.
do i have to open the tools in windos os or in ubuntu server?
thanks))
the majority of those tools are for use in Windows. Don't try to edit the files on your live server. Make edits remotely, test on a virtual box, then when you're sure it's all working, take the server down and update the appropriate files. In some cases you may need to send out a patch.
I haven't figured out patching yet so don't as me on that. :P:
The first part though, I speak from experience. Either test changes on a virtual box, or have a second server for testing.
Hello I recently became interested in opening my own private server just to practice being a dev and learning the ropes. Maybe in the future I will open a public private server but for now this is just for my own personal use.
So I have a few questions since I am a complete noob to this.
1) Do I need to download all of those files that is listed on the first post?
------------ I downloaded the following:
Server:
server_root.part1.rar (538.14 MB)
server_root.part2.rar (538.14 MB)
Client:
PW_Client.part1.rar (976.3 MB)
PW_Client.part2.rar (976.3 MB)
PW_Client.part3.rar (976.3 MB)
PW_Client.part4.rar (976.3 MB)
PW_Client.part5.rar (976.3 MB)
PW_Client.part6.rar (976.3 MB)
Dev/Tools:
PW_DEV.iso (318.37 MB)
Additional/Optional:
Genesis_Interface.rar (167.08 MB)
Other:
ubuntu-10.04.3-server-amd64.iso (680.47 MB)
server_root-CD1.iso (503.83 MB)
server_root-CD2.iso (572.87 MB)
2) Do they need to be put in a certain spot on the computer?
I installed VMware Player and ubuntu and followed the first part of this guide (using the guide & the video).
I got to this part "-- Mount server ISO (or physical disc), and copy all to system root" and when I typed in "mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom" it took a few seconds and then said "mount: /dev/sr0: unknown device"
Did I do somthing wrong? Am I missing any files? Any help would be much appreciated. I would really like to learn this.
Hey 343 im having a little bit of a problem with CPW i have unpacked every .pck in my client folder took the .pcks out and put in the "filename.pck.files" into my client and when using winscp to transfer files from desktop to /opt/cpw/files/new on server i get an error saying
building/models/d/q36???.mox Doesn't exist
System Error. Code: 123.
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
any suggestion or do you know what im doing wrong? (btw im trying to set up auto patching in CPW)
I setup on a diferent box to get a lil more ram and cpu but this time i cannot boot up after install i get

one thing i hate about linux is the layouts and the commands they dont make sense to me
edit
Ok the gamedbd log was blank
logservice log blank
i cant seem to find anycause
ill erase the Virtual disk and redo from scratch again
re-edit
Ok i took another box put in a swappable sata this box is lame 2.8 ghz cpu 40gb hd 512 mb ram i installed straight to the box no virtual ... Runs great no issues at all..
so whatever failed me ealier was all on me

QUESTION:::
what is the "Set Lambda Value" setting found on SERVER CONFIGURATION
Question :::
I want to lower not raise XP to make server more entertaining as a home only server. Where would i edit this only option on page is to double xp.
Another Question::
Sorry if this is a lil annoying
on characters screen it lists
TEMPLATE PSYCHIC MALE Psychic
TEMPLATE PSYCHIC FEMALE Psychic
TEMPLATE VENOMANCER MALE Venomancer
TEMPLATE BARBARIAN FEMALE Barbarian
TEMPLATE ASSASSIN MALE Assassin
TEMPLATE ASSASSIN FEMALE Assassin
But these are not available to create...
Having not really dinked on live i dont know what to expect from the game its self .
Is the client limiting venomancer male, barbarian female, both m/f Assassin's and both m/f Phycics ? or is it something i can change in server to open these up atleast male venomancers and female barbarians.
Experience rates are in "/PWServer/gamed/ptemplate.conf"
With the template you can change the hex of your character to these however you client will crash when you try and play them. This is because the client cant load the models for them as they don't exist in the client. You might be able to get them load if you give them a model but I haven't tested anything further yet.
It could be possible to use these templates to add something different to the game.

i have a question is there much difference between running this in a VMware to running it on an actual server dedicated for just running the game on?
something like 16GB RAM, 3.33GHz processor speed quad core processor
on a low end box 2.8ghz i noticed a huge diff from running through vm and dedicated the vm one had 760ish mb ram and ran so horrid it was unberable the dedicated one only has 512 mb ram and runs just fine..
all swap some ram to it to get other zones loaded though
but with 3.33 ghx and 16 gb ram i dont know if youll see much diff unless you have lots of people on at once

Thanx for the answer on races i wont attempt to allow them then lol atleast not yet
im not sure about this tbh i was wondering the same thingQuote:
QUESTION:::
what is the "Set Lambda Value" setting found on SERVER CONFIGURATION
are you talking about your server rates? cause you can do that via if have winscp you can connect it to your VM or Vbox useing ifconfig in the vbox to get its IP also make sure to have openssh-server installed on your OS in vbox (apt-get install openssh-server) or winscp wont connect open up winscp in the host name type in your vboxs ip then your login and pass you use to sign into root in vbox after that a box will come up asking something just click yes then enter your password again and a box should come up files on the right and left right is your main comp and left is your VM/Vbox find your root/pwserver/gamed/ptemplet in this text document is your server rates exp bonus drop bonus money bonus and sp bonus hope this answers your question ^^Quote:

Thank you for this great release i got finally everything working now,Thank you !! :)
i was unable to figure this file out all the rates are at 0 do i change them to -1 or such? or do i edit the stuff down further for the ofsets?
i dont understand what i am even looking at here
[MESMD_ADJUST]
# MOB_EXPERIENCE_SKILLPOINT_MONEY_DROP
base_offset = -100 0.15 0 0 0

can someone translate this set to human lol
thenat the top there is

logic_level_limit=105
;allow_login_class_mask = 247
allow_login_class_mask = 255
exp_bonus = 0 # EXP bonus
drop_bonus = 0 # Drop bonus
money_bonus = 0 # Money drop bonus
sp_bonus = 0 # SP bonus
do i edit here ? how do i lower xp if its at 0 will it take -1 ect... ?
nah leave the mesmd adjust alone in order to change how fast a char lvls is dependent on the section under general also if its set at zero people on your server shouldnt be lvling at all are you trying to lower EXP rates? or level cap? O_o

in VMware after you mount something to cd/dvd.ide make sure to have your VM connected to the device at the very bottom there is a bunch of icons make sure the disk is lit up and has a green square on the bottom right corner of it all you have to do is click or right click it and click connect then mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom and it should work
Wrong, "0" actually is '1x' Create a character then kill a mob, then check the EXP gained against Perfect World Database when you have "0"'s in ptemplate.conf that = 1x (normal PWi EXP rates)... :wink:
Also, you are correct about not wanting to change the [MESMD_ADJUST] offsets... Do not touch these!
No, you really don't; that's kind of like a kid saying they "need" a toy... When we all know you in fact do NOT need toys to 'live' -- however food and water are essential to survival. Likewise GUI is a TOY, and nobody truly needs it. You'd survive just fine off of a kernel and a command promt!
This is surely something to do with not having the ISO properly mounted. My guess personally would be to make sure to tick the 'connected' box, as after you install an OS in VMware if automatically un-connects any mounted ISO's... If that is not it you may want to consult instructions for VMware. (try what AcidRayne instructed you to do, make sure the ISO is properly mounted)...
whoa that weird when i first set my server up and everything was set at zero i wasnt lvling or well it didnt seem like it thats the only reason i said that but i just tryed it and your right you do gain EXP very little tho lolQuote:
Wrong, "0" actually is '1x' Create a character then kill a mob, then check the EXP gained against Perfect World Database when you have "0"'s in ptemplate.conf that = 1x (normal PWi EXP rates)...
yeah i saw it was 0 bonus xp witch is why i wanted to lower base xp
i want to just make it so leveling was slower was all
can i put a -1 in the bonus? or
looking at this i think i might see what it is but its a guess ill play with and return if it fails
[MESMD_ADJUST]
# MOB_EXPERIENCE_SKILLPOINT_MONEY_DROP
base_offset = -100 0.15 0 0 0
the base ill leave as it is
offset1 = -11 0.15 0 0 0
these i think the first field might be level diference so up to -11 lvls below you then xp gained from that mob 15 % bonus to its base 0 skill 0 cash 0 drop changes from base
and as it goes up it looks like the rates increase based on the first colum ? so if i adjust these it appears to be the rates from lvl differencs ...
I just played with these a litle and im not 100% sure ill test later but i believe i did manage to drop overall xp gain ...
QUESTION: Man i know this gets annoying but i was not able to locate in the post...
I followed the vid to setup found all the points you had shown to change your old IP 10.0.0.51 to my IP 192.168.1.97
I also modified every instance of 10.0.0.51 to my ip in the client dir using find all containing
The only thing is seeing isnt a game stopper at all just an annoyance I load the PW client it hits patcher screen to look for updates and the patch notes box is still looking for your 10.0.0.51 and i have not found where to change this on the server or client.
using a gui i tried find all containing your ip but it was to much and crashed my search lol
again it has no affect on game just wanted to change it to my own custom page for the kids or even make it redirect to account creation but i was unable to locate where its setup.
Scratch that i found it windows didnt find everything in client
E:\Games\PW_Client\patcher\skin\mainuni.xml has the offending reference all good on patcher alterations now
Kids these days and their GUI's
*shakes fist and yells get off my lawn*
Ok thanks for the help before, I got it working. Up until now I am stuck. I continued to follow the video and your guide. my server's ip was the same as the one u had in the video there, and when I tried to navigate to it on my web browser it didn't work. When I tried to navigate to the apache-tomcat part of teh vido it said that there was no such file/directory, then I tried to use the one in your guide since it was different and got a few errors. Here is the screenshot, maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong now.

the part you missed is highlighted and blackened :wink:Quote:

You also no longer have to worry about Mask Gen, just .userconfig.jsp
ok i modified the ofsets in
[MESMD_ADJUST]
# MOB_EXPERIENCE_SKILLPOINT_MONEY_DROP
base_offset = -100 0.15 0 0 0
all but base and and overall no change in xp tried many combinations :(
Trying to set the bonus value on top of file to a negative cause no xp at all
dude messing with the mesmd (not supposed to mess with those) will most likely cause more problems than it will solve the only way i think your gonna get less EXP than having the rates set to zero is to go and get a ELeditor like sELedit and opens you elments.data in PW_Client>element>data click the drop bar and look for your EXP tables and mess around with that raising the number will make it take more EXP to lvl make sure to do that server side as well as client side (in linux with winscp it /root/pwserver/configs and theres an element.data in there too you have to edit both exactly that same numbers) thats the only other thing i can think of to make people on your server lvl slower also if theres anyone else playing your server you'll have to make a patch or have them download the edited elements.data and put it in there folder
in order to change the ip in this folder you have to cd/opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/2/webapps/pwAdmin/WEB-INF then hit enter then type nano ".userconfig.jsp" i believe i used winscp to change my ips i found it faster that way imo but you can do it with the linux command i just typed as well (the only difference is with winscp you can open the file use your find button it'll ask what to find and what to change it too have it find 10.0.0.5 and have it changed to your IP but if your new to this i would just use the linux command so you dont get confused)Quote:

PS. sorry for wall of text :/
