Unfortunately that did not work. I disabled the firewall in Ubuntu, and checked the status to ensure it was off. That didn't work, so I disabled firewall on my PC (and the VM, so they were both off) and still not working. Sorry to be an issue, I'd just really like to make this work. ^^
Also, in the beginning when I started the server it showed me the eth0 IP it was using, and that is the IP I am using to type into the browser. For some reason now though it says "System information hidden due to load being higher than 8.0"
At command prompt type "ip a" for current ip...
VM network settings, are you using NAT or Bridged...? Bridged is an easier option...
Alright, I checked the ip a command, and it gave me what looks like two IP addresses.
1. inet, this is the IP I have been using but this command adds /24 after it (Still doesn't work if I add that)
2. Then one that says "brd (IP address) scope global eth0." I tried this and it also does not work.
I do have it set to bridged.
Alright, I got it working! I appreciate the responses to my questions. I am a little overwhelmed by the amount of files, and haven't been able to alter the server all that much. I am going to search this forum for some tutorials, but if anyone has time can they can answer a couple quick (hopefully) questions?
Currently all I am looking to do is:
1.
Find where I can alter exp/drop rates (I assumed it would be in the PWserver/146/gamed/gs.conf but I have adjusted the [WallowLight] values and nothing has changed.
2.
Find where I can alter class data (Such as altering a barbarians base health at level 1. I thought this would be in PWserver/146/ptemplate.conf but I altered values within that file and there were no changes).
3.
Find where I can view and alter existing item data (i.e I want to make a dagger have -int or -chan).
4.
Edit required amount of players to ender dungeons (Such as Frost Covered City)
Also, I AM reading the admin notes they have provided. There is just a lot information and I'd like to streamline this if possible.
Thank you all for tolerating my questions.
1. need to hex edit the gs to enable wallow, there are guides on here for that.Quote:

Thank you! I'll look into the hex edit forums.
To open elements.data and tasks.data do I need a type of program? I cannot open them with Notepad, so I found an online resource called "Rody's Angelica Editor" which seemed promising, but none of the changes I make in the editor affect the game. Suggestions?
RAE is good but expensive, there are lots of free editors floating around, most of which can be found on this forumQuote:

The server should not be running when making changes in RAE, correct? Then just save, and start the server and changes will be made?
download the files to your pc, make the changes, then stop the server, upload the edited files, then start the serverQuote:

I will make this my final question in this forum once I understand it (at least for some time) to give you guys a break from me.
I suppose I misunderstood. I tried downloading the element.data to my computer and directing RAE to that file, but RAE is looking for the client("Open game client directory")? I was under the assumption that we needed to alter server data to alter anything? I'm assuming the process will be the same for tasks.data?
RAE looks for the client, and the ONLY pure server-side file that's also in the client are the gshops (which have to be converted to be put on the server). BOTH elements.data/tasks.data are the same file on server AND clientQuote:
Originally Posted by Koifish32
The REASON RAE looks for the client is because it also allows you to edit external files related to elements as well
Alright, so...with what you're saying I am not understanding what Milos was saying earlier then. If I need to direct RAE to the client, why would I need to download elements.data if the editor can make external changes?
To commit these changes they said to patch the client, but when I run the patcher it says the server connection failed.
As a test I gave Bonerazor (level 1 daggers) 3 -.10 inteveral and a ridiculous high amount just so it is very visible within game. When I open RAE, the changes are still made within the editor. How to I "commit" them to the server?
Once I get at least one committed change to an item I plan on working through the kinks myself. I'd just like to have a decent grasp on how this works. You guys are awesome for answering my questions.
Edit: I've been tinkering with it and noticed a "Server" option in the top right that has options such as "Save and send elements.data to server". I set this up to push to my VM, thinking I had figured it out but no luck. I think I am on the right track though.
It complains that npcgen.data isn't found in the client. Should I copy element.data, task.data, etc to the client folder?
External files related to element usually are some configs for item description or something like that I guess.
Basically RAE is so advanced in its features that it allows you to do many different things at the same time.
It might take you a while to understand how to use the various features of the tool.
It's okay to start with simple edits for now as you are a beginner.
I insist that you do not do changes to server files while it's running to avoid glitches and issues.
1: you don't need to "download" anything, Point RAE to your client folder and (from my recollection) it populates elements and tasks.Quote:

3: I've never gotten that working, I only upload it manually
Yep, that is what I am doing! I'm trying to alter the damage of some level 1 weapons, but it is only changing the String value in the shops, but when I buy the item the items description in my inventory remains the default information. So, I altered something but not fully and I'm not sure why.
Also, I managed to get my friend logged on and none of the values were changed for him. So, only the local values are being changed, and only some of them.
I am noticing that some items are in the editor twice, like the Steel Falchion. It's ID is 4704 and 6?
yes this is normal, if you change gear that you already have then you have to buy the new version of it, the game won't change what is already in your bag or equipped, JD and FW work the same wayQuote:
Originally Posted by Koifish32
Right, that makes sense. But what I mean is, I'll hover over the Steel Flachion in the shop and it will say "Damage 3-512" (Which is the altered amount) and when I buy it and hover over the actual weapon/item in my inventory the damage reverts to 5-8.
because you didn't copy it to server, you only edited the text on the local sideQuote:

What's the best (or any) way to upload files to PW server? I've been running 1.4.6 server from 343's package, would like to try to modify elements.data (how to successfully modify that is another question but think I can figure out what I'm trying to do OK). But, being able to modify the file is pointless if I can't figure how to upload it to the server. I assume the problems I'm getting here are due to it being an old Linux version that perhaps doesn't include these components?
Tried to set up Samba (which would be my ideal preference, since then I can just access the shared folder from Windows and push/pull files from it easily), guides said to do:
sudo apt-get install samba smbfs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Unable to locate package samba
Unable to locate package smbfs
Tried to set up FTP:
sudo apt-get install vsfptd
... same as above, unable to locate package vsftpd
Tried to set up SSH (I found a guide on this site about this, but):
If I look at "ps aux | grep sshd" I do see
root 5382 0.0 0.0 8108 920 tty1 S+ 13:44 0:00 grep --color=auto sshd
I assume this means SSH daemon is running, or is that just my interactive job and "grep sshd" is the current command and so it outputs it? If I do "telnet localhost 22" then get immediate connection refused, so nothing is even listening on port 22.
Looked in vi /etc/ssh/ssh_config and I see nothing there telling it to run on a non-standard port
sudo systemctl status sshd
systemctl: command not found, so this is unhelpful too as most guides about how to start/stop/configure SSH are all based on commands starting 'sudo systemctl'
Many thanks for any suggestions.
Well, finally figured out an obscure way to get a new elements.data onto the server, now gs won't start up. Checked logs and looks like the end of them are being truncated, therefore I can't see the part which might have a useful error. I grabbed elements.data from the server before I started, compared it with ver from the client and they were identical, so its not mismatching versions, and the client accepts my new elements.data just fine, and sELedit opens it just fine. So now really stuck. How can I find out what's wrong with it?
there's some raw data at the end of one of them, depending on the version. Investigate that you may find it to be the caseQuote:

i never did download 343's torrent so i don't have any of that either, only 1.3.1 i have is the one Psytrac gave me which is the same as he would give you
I will also point out that if you need help with setting it up, there are plenty of voices here to assist with it, myself included. CAN NOT use 343's setup, but we can help you get it working

hii where can i find game pw-155 client
So have been running 343's server v1.4.6 for over a year now. Have 2 questions if anyone may know...
1) The only problem I've encountered is in TT, all the mobs are buried down into the floor. Most mobs are completely under the floor, bosses are about half and half with the feet under the floor and the top poking out. If you try to attack them typically they'll reset because they can't move or hit you back. Presume somehow files with the mob data and map data are mismatched. Any ideas which that might be, and whether I could copy the file from an earlier or later version to fix it?
2) If at some point players are all maxed out with everything available in 1.4.6 and I wanted to upgrade the server to 1.5.5, is there any established way to do this (in other words, to migrate accounts, characters, skills, equipment across)? They're installed in different folders and I bet its not as simple as moving files from /PWServer/146/gamedbd/dbdata into the 155 folder, likely the table structures have all changed (besides addition of new tables). So is there any tool to do this, or any info about the structure of the DB files so I could try to write a tool for it? I did poke around looking at the gamedbd/dbdata files in a hex editor to see if the format was "obvious" but its really not.
Many thanks!
I have encountered the same problem, as well as one more person in this entire thread. My best guess it's either something in path.sev (the tool to edit is is called sMAPtool, I think https://sourceforge.net/p/pw-tools/doc/sMAPtool/ is the current working mirror, although there should be a copy in the PW_DEV.iso file if you managed to get it before the MEGA files went down), or maybe something in aipolicy - I am a bit of a noob in this yet. Once I have actual free time (a commodity these days!), I will try to do a clean install and see if it is specific to some files or not. I guess either moving the paths up or the dungeon models down would work here.Quote:

Edit: After some searching I have found this thread with some people trying to reverse engineer this, it is for 1.3.6 though so I am not 100% sure if it is still the same in 1.4.6 or higher...
https://forum.ragezone.com/f755/berk...editor-737835/
Further on topic, I have noticed that all the MEGA client uploads are missing (the error says file is missing, either deleted by uploader or removed for violations). It seems pretty recent, as I have been able to get the downloads a few months ago and now regret not getting them all - yesterday I was finally ready to try and set up 1.5.3 to find that I couldn't get the client anymore :*:
For what it's worth, I haven't seen a setup like mine before, I'll try to update this post with some screenshots, but my 1.4.6 server is running in QEMU on a server machine running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as the host. It works quite well, I allocated 32 GB to it and I have all maps going except for the 4 arena maps (then it seems to be bumping dangerously closely to the 32 GB usage mark). I remember that I couldn't get pwAdmin to work out of the box and while I haven't written it down I recall having to copy over the 1.3.6 pwAdmin to make it work - which does mean some items don't show up but once it was hosted on a VM on the linux machine with multiple CPUs and everything I even got things like server controls, XML editing etc working.
Thanks very much for detailed answer, I will certainly see what I can figure out with Berkeley DB, and whether just dumping the files across works. If its a simple name=value structure (from what I've read) then it might really be that easy.
As far as missing downloads go, on page 326 of this thread there's a torrent with everything in it. I try to seed it when I can.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EUf...ew?usp=sharing
it is actually a proprietary style of the berkely db so most of the tools for working with the berkely dbs will not work with it
we have the source, we can fix the tools to read it properly, if someone bothers to take the time. also 1.3.1 can be read by pwAdmin, so if you want to edit the database, start there
You're right :) I used mysqldump to back up the MySQL DB, grabbed the gamedbd/dbdata folder, moved them over to a fresh 1.5.5 server, restored the MySQL data and copied the dbdata folder over the top of the 1.5.5 one, started it up and it all worked.Quote:

Forgot to mention that I am using a bridged network in vbox.
Everything is cool for a few weeks then I get a changed IP from my ISP. So got that fixed up, server running again and website up, but when I launched the client it seems to be not finding the server. I made sure I had the address right in server.txt. I also tested the 136 client with the same result. The last thing I tried was a clean install of a new client. Same result. Am hoping one of you guys can cast some light on what's going on.
Why am I not using the client in Windows? Because I'm tired of all the constant issues with windows 10. The latest issue I had was no matter what I tried I could not create a working network with vbox so I finally threw the towel in and went back to linux. Shame really because when it is running in windows it's ok.

the IP shown on whatsmyip ( or any simialr service) is your public IP, the one you refer to with 10, 172, 192 are private network IPs, for more info, google "private network classes", these aren't accessible to the public. to allow people to communicate with your VM you would need to use port forwarding (it's different on every router, google is your best friend if you're lost)Quote:

Without much expectation of success, I tried sledgehammer approach and just grabbed a25/npcgen.data from 1.4.6, loaded it up in Luka's tool (link below) , converted it to version 11, uploaded it to 1.5.5 server and... it appears to have actually worked.

https://forum.ragezone.com/f752/npcg...-luka-1124227/
Only outstanding question is where the boss drops are defined, or if that's also been copied from 1.4.6 then the mold bosses aren't going to drop SB/DB molds that didn't exist in 1.4.6. Looking into that... (Nevermind, drop rates are in elements.data so file that comes with 1.5.5 should be fine there).
can you update to ubuntu newest version ?
the oldest version is sucks , i can't find how to install openssh-server , It actually deleted.
openssh shouldn't delete make sure when you install Ubuntu 12 that you select openssh with your space bar when the option comes up then tab to select continue. the server files can only work on Ubuntu 12.... sadly. i have tried to alter the programing to be able to run it on ubuntu 20.4 how ever its not possible. if it is id like to learn that my self. That being said you can still install LAMP on to your host computer and run php, apache2 etc to inter-grade to your server. only problem i face is how i get players to be able to make an account to play my game. i Know i need a web sight for them to go to to be able to make the accounts. i just don't know how to link it to my server so when they log into the game they can play their account they made. If you know how to do that then maybe we can help each other with things we know and dont know. ill leave my discord so you can send me a DM.Quote:

And can you send me the vmdk file , or the tutorial to install pw server on ubuntu 20 ? I have interest in your project.
centos 7 with 32 bit libraries is well suited for a game server and there are guides on the internet. PHP version 5.4
Hello, can someone help me? I installed the whole thing by following the video 343 posted on youtube, but I still couldn't run it well. I got two issues going on... On the 1.3.6 I could open the pwAdmin page, turn on the server and register an account. Later when I open the game and make a character, I noticed he starts at level 0? It's registered as 0 before I log in. And when I try to log in, the game kicks me telling it couldn't connect to the server.
And uh... In the pwAdmin the character wasn't registered too, I had to click the "syncronize with database" button so the character would be there in the characters list. So I updated the version to 1.5.5 following his tutorial and now I can't get into the pwAdmin page. Do notice it was difficult to access the pwAdmin before as well, I had to restart the VM two or three times to get the pwAdmin to work. And now it doesn't work anymore.
I've tried following the step-by-step from scratch many times deleting previous VMs and starting new ones but still no success. Have I messed up something?
so.. if there's a problem with the logins you can always check the account id 16, that's the base characters. if THAT isn't right then you have to fix the clsconfig
What are your VM settings (RAM, CPU etc)? I have noticed that pwAdmin gets very very capricious if you have a single CPU core set.Quote:

how to make a pwi server - YouTube
HOW TO CREATE A 1.5.3 PERFECT WORLD SERVER (TUTORIAL) - YouTube
You can make sure that your pwadmin is working by going to your terminal on your vm and type the following commands.
server pwAdmin start
server pwAdmin status.
pwAdmin does comunicate to your phpmyadmin for accounts etc.
here is the format to access the pwadmin page
http://0.0.0.0<---(your vm ip address)/pwAdmin
if thats not working then you have done something wrong and will have to check your config files.
Hope this helps.
Thx a lot for taking your time to help me, dude! I tried using the command u suggested, server pwAdmin status to see if it'd work but it asks me to download a library using apt-get... then I tried it, but it now says it was unable to find the package. I tried raising the no. of processors as "htmlcoderexe" suggested above and also I'm using 3gb of ram to start the server. I don't have much, but it did kinda work before with the 1.5.1... Guess what I should try is following the video u gave me the link for. The 1.5.3 video. Let's see if it works!Quote:

Trust me, I was a doubter at first as well.
I do think there was a typo there and you're supposed to type "service" not "server" in those commands.
Try doing it all from scratch.
Very important parts are to use the included Ubuntu version, do everything from the root user (not sudo!) and reboot after every step (install ubuntu, reboot, install nase package, reboot, install add-on 1.5.1 whatever, reboot).
Also, 3 gig may be too little to run even the basic install.
I have successfully run 1.4.6 on 4 GB and 1.5.1 on 8 GB but that's just the world map, the starting map on 1.5.1 and at most 2 dungeons.
My fully deployed install uses 24 GB on the 1.4.6 server and 32 GB on the 1.5.1 server (so I can run both) and there are still some laps I don't run to keep it under the memory limit.
This is a server for a game and demands a lot of memory.
As an aside, I stopped at 1.5.1 but I remember gettin 1.5.3 to work with exact same steps.
It did have a few glitches that made it annoying like empty 59 and 69 dungeon and weird spawns in some places so I didn't bother more than that as I didn't have time.
Maybe there are some wrong files in the dump or maybe problem is between my ears :D: :D:
it should be serviceQuote:

Thx guys. I tried making it from scratch, but as any other time, no success... Not sure how I messed up, but I guess I did. One thing I didn't mention, when it says "deconfiguring network" it'll be stuck in this message forever. I had to reboot forcefully. There was one time I got past this message, it was the time pwAdmin worked once, but then the game couldn't get the data properly, the character lv was shown as 0 in the character creation screen and it kicked me out of the game when entering a character to play.
For now, I decided to stop trying. Already deleted the clients and server files. Lost some nights of sleep just watching a purple screen loading stuff haha. But really, thanks for all the help and for being kind to newbies! This kind of technical thing is hard for non developers because if I don't know what's connecting to what, I can't see the big picture to figure out mistakes.
Newly created characters in the game are Level 0?
Could be an issue with clsconfig and try to export it from Gamedbd Directory.
As a developer,I got used to getting stuck quite often until I find a way around the problems I'am facing.Code:./gamedbd gamesys.conf exportclsconfig
I constantly remind myself that most good things take time and efforts to keep moving forward.
You will eventually get better in solving problems little by little!
Client Links are offline. Could it be fixed? Or anyone else has these links? Thanks! =)
Sorry dear, those have been offline a while. There's a torrent link that is in the thread somewhere (last 20 pages?), I am seeding it but cannot check if it's up now cause I'm at work. Will try to remember somewhere next 24 hours. Please help seed!

Hello,
Sorry for double post, couldn't find how to delete old response...
Anyways... me and my buddies kinda want to have some nostalgia and I thought it'd be cool to get our own lil' private server going.
I followed to instructions and video along, however... now I am stuck as I am unable to reach the login page.
I tried to troubleshoot the problem myself and fix it so I could continue, but this is quite a bit more complicated than the 'usual' IT stuff I deal with :)
While troubleshooting I keep getting "Host Destination Unreachable" when trying to make connections:
- pinging the internet (1.1.1.1 || 8.8.8.8)
- pinging my router from the VM
- pinging the VM from the host machine (@192.168.1.178)
I tried again with my firewalls turned off, to see if maybe they were blocking something, but that also didn't help.
Any help with getting a PWI server up and running would be greatly appreciated :-)
you have to use the WAN ip, not NAT or host-only. also your firewall is likely on on the VM itself

One folder further down (config) is where the gshop files are located, happy tweaking!

So... I decided to make another server to see if I screwed something up with install aaaand...
now it works!
So I've managed to get everything up and running, however not all clients versions seem to be able to see the server.
The 136 client can find the server, connect to it, login and I can play around (ohhh the nostalgia :):), but the 146 and 155 clients can't find the server.
I tried to fix it by copying the serverlist.txt from 136 to the 146 / 155 client, but then they still can't find the server (the 146 had the 'official' serverlist and the 155 install didn't even have a 'default' serverlist.txt), any ideas?
Also, I was wondering how to turn the server into PvP mode and how to edit the server rates (I did find some posts, suggesting to edit 'the GS', but I have no idea what that is)
Clients Package is an empty folder?
