¤ The Complete PW Package ¤

1. I have taken the Boutique (gshop/cash shop) out of the game, it is useless as it only promotes the "free to play - pay to win" agenda!
2. I personally couldn't care any less than I already do, about FW, but it became a plan of mine to add it to my next update as an addon before RZ even got an FW section. There was only 1 or 2 releases at the time I made that decision and saw many people were having problems getting those working too, so I made it a part of this distribution since this whole package was designed to be the MOST simple to install and use. The only extent that *I* personally ever tested was that the server did indeed start up, which it did. I have never even 'opened' an FW client in my life. Although via my "beta testing" of this package I have heard that the FW addon works just fine. The only catch about FW (if you're having problems with it and or it appears to not be working) that I can think of is, you CANNOT use pwAdmin to start it like you can any of the PW packages. In order to have FW working, you MUST install it as a system service/daemon :wink: Also, unlike the PW packages, FW being installed as a system service/daemon will ONLY start the world map (as I am unfamiliar with FW, and for the most part didn't even touch the files from the release that I downloaded it as), which is why you should also notice, when it's asking you if you desire to install FW as a system service/daemon it doesn't list a RAM requisite (like it does for ALL of the PW packages), that is because it only starts the world map, even when installed as the system service/daemon.

So, if you're having problems with FW I would recommend you retry it with installing it as a system service/daemon :wink:

Note: you don't have to actually re-install the FW 'addon' either, you merely must re-run "service pwversion" and answer YES when it asks you if you desire to install it as a system service/daemon...

Thanks for your detailed reply.

I'm with you regarding gshop.
I try FW as daemon service and i will comment the result.

EDIT: Not woking. Client says coms error. Also, the reg page is down.

Please don't be offended but can you at least tell us how you removed the Boutique? I'd at least like use it for fashions and such. As my payment for such information I'm seeding the torrent on days I don't have night classes and on weekends. I also plan on adding a virtual machine to one of my servers dedicated to seeding in the near future.

HTTPD always starts automatically. If the registration (default) web page is not working then you must have used a dynamic IP setup for your server OS (and at this point NOTHING will work, not even PW). Preferably you will need to set a STATIC IP for your Linux server OS. Another (not so reliable) method would be to discover the new (dynamic) IP after the OS boots and use that new IP. Using a dynamic IP is NOT supported for this reason: Every time you reboot the server you will have to alter the serverlist.txt (for PW) or server.lua (for FW), and also reset the server side config using "./ipset" from /root/

Simple, create your own gshop with the items you want in it, and replace the ones included with the server and client...

I already used a static IP... is my second step when i configure a new VM.
Like I said, the other PW servers runs very smooth with no problems or errors (servers and clients). FW is the problem.
Nevermind, i got this package for PW, FW is pure optional (but nice if in future releases runs well like the other servers included).

Thanks.

Well that is odd seeing as it has worked for all the people who tested it prior to it's release...

Okay so, I decided I'd test for myself seeing as it's a little contradicting to hear from my testers that it works, and you that it does not - I wanted to see a little for myself.

My results, it works:

I knew the server started up okay but I had never even started a client let alone logged in. I just installed the client I include w/ this distro, set the server IP and BAM, it works for me. Why it's not working for you I would not know now =\

:blink: ok, im going to create a fresh VM and install 136 (base) and FW.

Hello,

I know i have asked this before and it was fixed (some how o-o) but it is happening again and i believe this wont be the only problem i have with this new package...
i am logged in as root user in:

Spoiler:

ubuntu-12.04.3-server-amd64.iso

and then i try and mount:

Spoiler:

pw-146-server_07.JAN.2014-ubuntu12.04.3_amd64.iso

but it wont work... here is what i get:

Spoiler:

am i missing something?

no acees point...

Use this:

mkdir -p /media/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
cd /media/cdrom

Will try it, thanks

thanks,

that worked but now probably the most stupid question asked here so far... How is the server started? like the items in vmWare?

- - - Updated - - -

Never mind, didnt read it fully! my bad

136 tested on

tested on AMD processor windows system (success)
tested on intel 3.1Ghz single core windows system (success)
tested on vmware and virtualbox on windows and mac (success)
tested on portable-virtualbox windows (success)
tested on android tablet with ubuntu on it (success) couldnt start any maps needed too much ram. but will work if ram was upgradable.
tested on intel imac system running ubuntu from the torrent (success)

Hey 343, great release, Ive got both 136 and 131 working fine, however character creation in 146 seems to be broken on my install, the server starts fine however creating a character in-game renders no response and then a disconnection message, Any idea what might be causing this?


EDIT: I noticed 'Game Database Daemon' is showing as offline occasionally, after a fresh install after first attempting to create a character and having the create buttons greyed out (obviously due to the gamedb being down), rebooting the server allows me to then get into the creation process, but I can not complete it and actually have a character added to the tables...

I have this issue in my first install and reinstalling the server fix the problem.

Alas, I have tried three times now with reinstalls and its the same...

Snowmane76, did you only reinstall the 146 package, or the whole thing?

EDIT:
I've discovered that character creation works when running 146 as a daemon and the server runs as intended, however when started from pwAdmin, character creation is not working on my system, but the server functions with already created characters fine.

It seems to be started up (1.4.6), but wrong version precinct-region world, in last china client v80 - 1356666511, in perfect world private client - 1361177555 (?)
