4. open in your Dwarfpickers EasyAion Emu directory following directory. ".\Dwarfpickers_Easy_MultiCoreEmu_Repack_0.1.0\SVN AIONEmu Source\AionCelestialEmu\"


5. Delete ".svn" and sql

[Dwarfpicker]

- Hurray server is running!!

[4] Setting up your client to play on your server

- Open your Aion directory in folder bin32


- Use another window to open ".\Dwarfpickers_Easy_MultiCoreEmu_Repack_0.1.0\Tools\Aion Launcher\Disable Login IP Check fix\"


- Copy "the d3d8thk.dll" file to your ".\Aion\bin32\"


- Than go back to your ".\Aion\" and in the other window to ".\Dwarfpickers_Easy_MultiCoreEmu_Repack_0.1.0\Tools\Aion Launcher\"
- copy the "aion_start_local.bat" to your Aion folder


- Open your ".\Aion\l10n\" folder:


- In here could be different Folders: f.e. ENG/DEU/FRA/ENU/RUS/..... and many more, depending wich client you are using

- Search the Folders until you reach a file called like the foldername with the extention .pak:


- Remember the Foldername, in this Case it is "DEU" and go back to your Aion main folder.

- right click on "aion_start_local.bat" -> than choose option edit


- Check if everything is ok or change it:


- Save the file and you are Done

- Start Aion with the file "aion_start_local.bat"

[5] Custom Configure your Server

- Make yourself ADMIN on your Server.
-- You need to have at least login to your server once and created at least 1 account!!!
-- Server have to run to get this working!!!

- open directory ".\Dwarfpickers_Easy_MultiCoreEmu_Repack_0.1.0\Tools\Navicat Database Tool\" and start "Navicat 9 Lite Portable.exe"


- Click on "connections" than "mysql"


- Fill in this and press ok


- double click on My Aion Server or whatever you named it
- than double click on aj_login
- than dounle click on account_data


- Than do:


- the next time you Login into your server - you are a server Admin and can use any Admin Command

- How to change server rates and other?
-- Open ".\Dwarfpickers_Easy_MultiCoreEmu_Repack_0.1.0\AIONEmulator\game\config\default.config" with your editor


In here all server settings are stored, very self explained!!

[Dwarfpicker]

[6] Setting up the Server to the open World

- Open Navicat (.\Dwarfpickers_Easy_MultiCoreEmu_Repack_0.1.0\Tools\Navicat Database Tool\) and like before go to "aj_login"


- now this time open "gameservers" with a double clik


- change this to:


- now go to ".\Dwarfpickers_Easy_MultiCoreEmu_Repack_0.1.0\AIONEmulator\game\config" and open "ipconfig.xml" with your editor


- than:


- save the file than browse to you aion folder and open "aion_start_local.bat"


- than do:


- save the file

- now all you have to do to get it working is:

1. Stop your windows Firewall OR create rules to open Following PORTS: 7777, 2106, 8096
2. If you got a router you have to open the ports there too. PORTS: 7777, 2106, 8096

depending on your firewall and router these Settings are in different places, so I can't do any picture help. Just check your manual of your product to find out how to open ports!

- Now you can rename the "aion_start_local.bat" into whatever you want like "MyServeName.bat" and send this .bat file to your friends!
- but you need to send them the ip-fix .dll too (as told in Point 4)

And now play with friends on your server

nice guide ty for the share :D

[Sataniceaden]

+1 on the guide i hope this helps out many people
can i make a comment on the "ipconfig.xml"
if you have a router with the 192.168.1.* setting for lan play you will need to remove the

<iprange min="192.168.1.0" max="192.168.1.255" address="192.168.1.0"/>

i have place below a sample of another option if you have 1 or 2 computer that you want to connect

<!--
    File that is responsible for network address mapping.
    We can have any number of ip ranges mapped to various network interfaces
    Useful for those who run server in local areas with two (or more) networks


    For ipconfig's "default" attribute both DNS and ip address is supported.
    Example: <ipconfig default="216.239.59.104">
    Examples: <ipconfig default="google.de">
-->


<ipconfig default="your wan IP">
<iprange min="192.168.1.0" max="192.168.1.255" address="192.168.1.2"/><!--this allows computers on ip 192.168.1.0;192.168.1.1;192.168.1.2 be able to connect -->


    <!--
        IANA-reserved private IPv4 network ranges
        Access only from local networks, external client can't have any of
        the following ip addresses


    <iprange min="10.0.0.0" max="10.255.255.255" address="10.0.0.0"/>
    <iprange min="172.16.0.0" max="172.31.255.255" address="172.16.0.0"/>
     -->


</ipconfig>

i hope you dont mind me adding this if so i will delete it

After select Test Server client hangs. That's what happens on gameserver

[Dwarfpicker]

You used wrong Client !! Try downgraded NA client to version 3.0.0.x or EU Gameforge Client!!

[Nirra]

Spoiler:

cannot connect to the authorization server

for me too.... pls help guys

You used wrong Client !! Try downgraded NA client to version 3.0.0.x or EU Gameforge Client!!

now I'm trying to use the NA client 3.0.0.8 but when i try to connect says: cannot connect to the authorization server

Loginserver and gameserver okay, even status visible. aldiora.no-ip.org
Table gameservers in the mask is a sign *

ipconfig

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ipconfig default="192.168.0.100">
    <iprange min="127.0.0.1" max="127.0.0.1" address="127.0.0.1"/>
    <iprange min="192.168.0.100" max="192.168.0.107" address="192.168.0.100"/>
    <iprange min="192.168.0.100" max="192.168.0.107" address="192.168.0.100"/>
</ipconfig>

ipconfig tut:

		
For ipconfig's "default" attribute both DNS and ip address is supported.
Example: <ipconfig default="216.239.59.104"> = your Internet IP Adress (WAN-IP)
Examples: <ipconfig default="127.0.0.1"> for Local use, modify your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts to: 127.0.0.1 localhost
Examples: <ipconfig default="192.168.2.xx"> for Local use, modify your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts to: 192.168.2.xx    localhost
Examples: <ipconfig default="192.168.2.xx"> for DNS Hosting (yourhost.NO-IP.com) use, modify your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts to: 192.168.2.xx    yourhost.no-ip.com (loop-back)
<iprange min="192.168.0.0" max="192.168.255.255" address="192.168.0.20"/> // where (192.168.0.20 = your Local IP Adress
<iprange min="192.168.0.0" max="192.168.255.255" address="192.168.2.20"/>

my hosts

192.168.0.100	aldiora.no-ip.org

I tried to put here <ipconfig default="aldiora.no-ip.org"> but... the result is the same

aion launcher

@echo off
echo Starting Aion ...

if exist L10N\enu\enu.pak (
  start bin32\aion.bin -ip:aldiora.no-ip.org -port:2106 -cc:1 -lang:enu -noweb -nokicks -ncg -noauthgg -ls -charnamemenu -ingameshop -DEVMODE "con_disable_console 0" -DEVMODE "g_chatlog 1" -DEVMODE "g_auto_disconnect 0"

) else (
 echo Aion folder not found or unsupported language.
 pause. 
)

I do not deviate from the guide...
but there was one problem...
When I tried to run RegisterGS me give you an error...



after...
I manually entered it here



all the configs in *.properties are true, tested many times ...
as a result the server is running, and connect to it does not work = (

in the server itself often appears my local IP


Now I changed IP address to 127.0.0.1 in the launcher and it worked!!!
but how can I do for Public??? All necessary ports I opened on my router.
7777 TCP\UDP
2106 TCP\UDP
9014 TCP\UDP
80 TCP\UDP

I understood the reason for the problem
when *. bat file write IP, for example, I wrote my 78.25.188.34, then everything works. But when I write there aldiora.no-ip.org, then he can not connect. The file ipconfig during testing was aldiora.no-ip.org

what to do, tell me please?

This is ridiculous! I'm getting old)))Need a aion-launcher with supporting a connection domain.. .bat file that can not))

[Choy Astig]

Hi dwarf, can you please post a tutorial how to make the website work included in your repack too? I'm really having a hard time trying to make it work. Hoping to get an answer from you. Thanks in advance and have a good day!

[Dwarfpicker]

with new pack new website will be coming, stay tuned. I just wait until tomorrow - EU 3.5 Release to test my 3.5 Core, after this is tested, I will release V.0.2.0. of Easy Emu!

[Nirra]

I was right. All who meet the same problem, remember, .bat file will not be able to join the server through the domain. Use the launcher to support domain connect

[facara]

It makes a Z unit...
Uhm I already had your privious ver installed or something... didn't wanna work so I tried this topic...
Uhm now I can't "Reinstall" As the Z unit is allready used by another unit...
So that said... it weren't enough to just delete the pack :S

How do I remove the crap so I can use Z and continue and install the database? :S

Please help meh out ^^
