【TUT】JD 16-Class Premade VM w/ Game-Client(iweb&other functions included)

[Henmoro]

Hello RageZONERs!

This tutorial will teach you how to host your own personal Jade Dynasty(16 Class) server!

This server packages included features:
1. Premade server & test game client, fully configured and ready for use.
2. Iweb, fully functional. - edit and manage server settings, functions, and character data. http://192.168.1.15:8080/iweb/manage - http://192.168.1.15/cricket iweb can be found through these preconfigured links while the iweb is running(Read below on how to start iweb).
3. Cpw patching service( to patch updates )
4. Preset httpd, w/ basic website & admin backend management, reconstructed from Perfect Worlds - pwAdmin(PHP), webshop, mailing system, GM control, Jaden control, character list, sign in and registration.
5.Phpmyadmin access ( http://192.168.1.15/phpmyadmin )


Cons:
1. This premade server is not preconfigured for public server hosting use, it is meant for testing & with friends.
2. Test client was put together from several different sources to have a functional game client (All credits go to the respected developers )
3. The Patcher/Launcher comes from the game Perfect World, However it is 100% functional with the server and will patch the game client without an issue.

------------------------------------------------------
To begin, download VMware player, VMware Player is free, and is used to host virtual Operating Systems(OS). VMware Player can be found here: VMWare Player

Once installed, download the preconfigured server here:
Jade Dynasty Starfall Server Download
The server is Ubuntu, which was used for the 11 class released by Valkyrie.
(All instances work without issue).
Game Client Download:
Jade Dynasty Starfall Game-Client Download
Finally!
Time to start the server!
Begin by opening VMware Player, and select: “Open a Virtual Machine”

Spoiler:

Click on the newly listed OS that is now listed “StarfallUbuntu”, and edit the virtual machine settings.

Spoiler:

Let’s adjust some settings!

Spoiler:

Now let’s start the server! - Start it by clicking “Play Virtual Machine”

Spoiler:

You should see the login screen, if by chance it takes longer than a minute to get to this screen, either your VMware Player network settings are incorrect, or your local area IP network is not 192.168.1.* In which case, wait a few minutes and the login will load.(follow guide below to fix the issue)
Once loaded, sign in with username: root - Password: ragezone

If you’re positive that the VMware Player is properly set up, follow this guide to change the network settings.(Note: The server is preconfigured for I.P 192.168.1.15, server and client )
HOWTO change Network settings:

Spoiler:

type in the command box: vi /etc/network/interfaces
Use the arrow keys go to the I.Ps, press a to insert and “del” to remove.

Example:

If your I.P is 192.168.0.*, than change the settings to this:
address 192.168.0.15
netmask  255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast  192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1

Not all local I.P addresses are the same, depending on which router or modem you use. To get a basic idea of your local network address, go to your wifi settings then click on properties. Scroll down to view your local I.P setup.


Now that you’ve changed the information. Type :wq to save. To exit without saving, type :q! Then enter.
Reboot the server, by typing reboot in the console and see if the console boots quickly this time.
Too change the server connection I.P for the game client follow the image guide below.

Time to run commands!
The server has a few files, which you can run fun by the cmd.
./iwebon - Cuts the server management server on.
./iweboff - Cuts the server management server off.
-
./server cmds
./server start , ./server stop , ./server restart , ./server top(Hall of excellence ranking) , ./server coro (Start coronation service)
./newpatch - makes a new patch.(Read below on how to make patches)
Make sure that when running commands, you always use ./ first!

Now the server says it’s fully started! Let’s connect!
You can start the game through the patcher/launcher folder or inside of the element folder.
Inside the element folder, you can click “elementcliet.exe”, or if you want to go into debug mode, click the “start.bat”, Once in-game, press Shift + ~ buttons to pull up the debug console. You can find the debug commands here: Debugger Commands
(Warning: Crashing the server is possible in debug mode. )

For testing purposes I have included a test account, with GM, this account is also the test account admin for the website/website functions.
Account: testaccount , password: ragezone

Spoiler:

To access the GM console, press CTRL + G.


To set up the website, and admin account go to http://192.168.1.15/setup.php

Spoiler:

Making Patches.
Making patches is fairly easy, use your sftp program(Like winscp) to sign into your server side. Go to ‘ /var/www/cpw/files/new ‘, and add the files to the proper directory.

Spoiler:

Helpful Information:
You can search items at http://jd.pwdatabase.com , or http://jadedynasty.online/database
The item ID is in the URL.

Spoiler:

All login information for the server editing is: Username: root , password: ragezone
When making updates, the game clients data folder contents (gshop 1 - 2 - 3, vipaward, and elements.data) must match with the server sides ’ /root/gamed/config ‘ identical files, or the server won’t start or properly update when you’re making patches.

can you tell if the vip system is working in this version? Thanks for the release !!!

The VIP isn't working in this release, the VIP works mostly through the authd / mysqldb, And I haven't had time yet to look into making it work. if I have the time, I'll look into it, and release the updated vm.

I believe that this function would be the main difference of this version, many users are looking for a VIP system for the 16 class, together with iweb, it would be great. We look forward to positive news!

With the current releases, there have been allot of dead links, so I figured releasing this would help a bit with the development community. The iweb is helpful, it does work, though very clunky, and can lag out in my honest opinion, you can do most of the edit changes through the debug console and commands. For live servers, the debug console can't be used for sure, though when it comes to the V.I.P system, I may have a few answers that may solve the issue, I'll just have to look into it more first :)

I took a look at the chinese client post, it's a 16 class game client, rebuilt to look and give the graphics of the 18 class game client.
I'll have to look at it, the one I put together was from my drive from game clients I collected in the past.

Thank you for sharing my friend

For some reason, the server does not see me. I did not change anything in the server and client settings, I just checked all the IP address settings are correct. Why is that?
