Following the video tutorial on the homepage,
has anyone had this same problem when creating and running the VM?
I'm using pw-SAE-servers_18.MAR.2021-ubuntu12.04_amd64

yes, ubuntu 12.04 won't work on UEFI.Originally Posted by Robson26
in case these image links expire, his issue was (in first link) machine could not boot, because the VM was using the wrong firmware (UEFI), changing to BIOS fixes it. (in the second link) vm's settings>options>advanced> swap from EUFI to BIOS
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.
I halfway remember reading somewhere that upgrading "just works", although I did not try it myself and have no verification of this. Again, I may experiment with this once I have that sacred free time.
As for the database structure, I have seen someone mention that it is Berkeley Database, version 4.2. Do with this information what you wish.
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...

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.

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.
Hi Guys
I Have what I think might be be hopefully a minor issue. I'm running a 131 and 136 in virtualbox with an MX linux host. 16gb ram, i7 cpu 2.7ghz,
4gb nvidia. Not ideal I know running client on the same machine but it's what I got and it runs ok.
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.

Thanks, see I have read around 200+ worth of pages of this thread but not always in orders so I missed that one :-) It's going steady with one seed so I have hopes, thanks a lot, I have an okay connection and usually keep the PC going all night. I've put it to seed it 100 times
And there I was copypasting XML :D good to have a confirm. I remember seeing something in this thread about making sure about timestamps and something about uniquenamedb - if you recall anything like that?
Hi thanks for reply.
I just checked with whatsmyip and the one I was using is very different. You mentioned it should start with 10, 192 or 172, mine starts with 192.
I might try setting up a new server and mess around with that a bit and see if there is anything I can do that improves things. The thing that gets me is if I can access the server from my web browser then why does the client fail???
Pete
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)
link to Dev/Tools is broken
Tenho o link de torrent
