Aion username/login error

Yeah. I think Giga assumed you would use the Launcher.bat. The launcher is a simple batch file that just calls to all three batch files when you select "run all servers". The launcher didn't work for me, so I went to the individual batch files instead and have used them ever since.

Fiesta was a game I played since the end of Closed Beta (2007) until a couple years ago. Right before Gamigo took over. Spent a lot of time in that (god forsaken) game.

Ohh okay. So I dont have to extract them from the build folder>>zip? and lol i kinda enjoyed it for a while. never spent much time on it though.

what collation should i be in? unicode? or the default?

[Pagefault404]

No. You can leave them in the build folder. I wouldn't move those scripts anywhere. Create shortcuts to the scripts and use those instead.

[Frozty]

How is it that im getting errors x.x if you used the same files lol. says SQL Error (1115): Unknown character set: 'utf8mb4'

What version of heidi did you use?

[Pagefault404]

Just leave everything as is unless the guide specifically says to set it to something.

- - - Updated - - -

Heidi 9.2.0.4947

I wonder if Giga updated the files. The release post was updated a week ago.

My Databases are utf8_general_ci

[Frozty]

so i just did the, run with errors option? They had like 14 at most, but i got the files XD

- - - Updated - - -

im using 9.4. Do you think it will make a difference?

- - - Updated - - -

it says it can't find StartCS,StartLS, or StartGS when I run the launcher. What did you do?

[Pagefault404]

I think this is why I didn't use the launcher. Try locating those individual files and manually running them.

[Frozty]

I did try, says Java is not a recognizable program, batch or w.e... like i told u b4. And I downloaded the right java x.x.

[Pagefault404]

Did you set the environment variables?

[Frozty]

yeah, the JAVA_HOME thing?

- - - Updated - - -

oh i have JRE7 :O.

[Pagefault404]

Your variables should look like this

Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

That's what I did too! It took me over a day to figure it out because I kept telling myself "They wouldn't put the wrong java link in the tutorial, would they?" So I kept trying to make it work with JRE and not JDK.

Make sure you set BOTH Java and Java Home

[Frozty]

OKAY. So I got it working at least lol.. but then this comes up?:

Error: Could not find or load main class com.aionemu.loginserver.LoginServer

Error: Could not find or load main class com.aionemu.chatserver.ChatServer

on the cmd boxes.

- - - Updated - - -

also says cannot load chat server configuration? is that the chatserver.properties?

[Pagefault404]

Look in <SERVER>\Login\libs and see if "AC-Login.jar" exists.

If it does not, check the <SERVER>\build\dist\Login\libs folder.

It should exist in one of those two. Do the same thing for Game server and Chat server. (AC-chat.jar, AC-game.jar)

I suspect your batch files are in the wrong location

(Sounds like you now have that issue where you have double the game config locations)

- - - Updated - - -

I believe so, yeah

I'm hoping that the long silence means you got your server up and running. Though, it probably means you just gave up for the night.

Let me know if you need any further help man.

[Frozty]

Okay, im at work rn but when i get home ill try that. What do I do with them if yheyre doubled?

- - - Updated - - -

Oh hell no lmao. I've gotten this far, im not giving up yet! And i would never dissapear without thanking you for being such a huge help! I never would have made it this far without you lol.

- - - Updated - - -

Ohh and what spot are they suppose to be in? The main folder?

[Pagefault404]

Whatever libs folder contains the AC-<server>.jar file is where the Start<SERVER>.bat files should go.

For example:

If AC-Game.jar lives in SERVER\AC-Game\build\dist\AC-Game\libs

Then your StartGS.bat should be in: Aion\AC-Game\build\dist\AC-Game\

If AC-Game.jar lives in Aion\AC-Game\libs

Then your StartGS.bat should be in: Aion\AC-Game\

(If your setup is like mine, your server jar files will be in the <SERVER>\build\dist\<XX>\libs directory)

I was just hoping that maybe you got it to work. Don't need to thank me, I'm not here doing this enough.
