Why would you just type "GM" when searching and not "GM Commands" or something more refined? It wont allow you to search just "GM" as its too common and too vague.
Anyway in this case using the google search method is better as it will include "GM" in your search terms.

The results you were after:
http://forum.ragezone.com/f452/share...i-coin-575017/
Above is just one of the many threads that contain the info you require. I believe there is a thread where people actually test the commands to see what works and what they do.

Re: Server + Client @ 1.4.2 & Guide
Someone has tested or has the server on Centos 5 64bit?

Linux is Linux, Debian is far more popular then Red Hat based Distro's, but nothing stops them from doing the same thing of course it will work on CentOS (with some modifications to accommodate for the package manager differences)
Re: Server + Client @ 1.4.2 & Guide
These changes are difficult? Most servers indicate Cento think because of the technical team have studied them more -.- '
Re: Server + Client @ 1.4.2 & Guide
Hi Ronny,
at first a big thx! for your work. A running PW-Server sure is a nice "must have".
I followed your howto strictly (tried 32bit and 64bit Debian), up and running in NoTime. -> nice!
But i have trouble running the instances (all of them), getting the evil "unable to enter instance" @95% of the time. The logfiles doesn't contain useable infos. Can you give me any hints on how to resolv the issue? Please help, my brain is about to explode :blush:.

Well if you want to run it on CentOS all you really need is knowledge of how it all works... I could get it to work on CentOS but I have said it many times before that I just love Debian based distros to much to ever use it
Overall though it shouldn't be to difficult as long as you aren't a complete Linux noob

Make sure you use the PWD client with this guide as some of the teleports to get into instances were changed over time... that is the main reason why people have issues, other then that only issue I can think of is possibly not enough RAM/swap for it to work properly
Re: Server + Client @ 1.4.2 & Guide
In the event would not just download the 32bit libs? Or they had to do something else?

You'd also have to manually set up fastcgi for php since only Debian and Ubuntu do it automatically with the php5-cgi package
Re: Server + Client @ 1.4.2 & Guide
This has everything configured and installed with Cpanel, right? Would any other important observation?
---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------
I believe that even without the Cpanel, that would solve this issue:
yum install httpd mysql-server php-mysql php php-cli php-gd php-xml php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-mhash php-common php-ncurses
Re: Server + Client @ 1.4.2 & Guide
Guys.... I have my server and client up and running. I want to say a huge thanks to the OP.
For your entertainment and in the spirit of sharing, I have made my server available to anyone who wants to use it. It is a VMWare file, so simply install VMWARE and add the image to your library. (VMware Virtualization Software for Desktops, Servers & Virtual Machines for Public and Private Cloud Solutions)
Here are my links:
PW Server VMWare Image
http://www.briansbytes.com/downloads/debian_5.rar
Client already patched
http://www.briansbytes.com/downloads/pw_client.rar
The password for everything is 'pworld', and to login to Debian, use my account, 'bigrussian63'
All you need to do is change the IP address as was instructed in the opening post.
One last thing, I noticed that the lvl cap is 150 on this server image, is there a way to make it higher. I see on some other PW servers the cap is 250.
Cheers
BR

Hi das7002,
thx for your answer, but i'm stuck. Maybe i can bother you again:rolleyes: ?
Problem 1 (minor):
Factions (Press 'G') doesn't work at all. Nothing happens ingame. Nothing on the logs. No idea, how to proceed further.
Problem 2 (major):
'Unable to enter instance', completely stuck on that issue. So far I tested by Trial&Error and could eliminate the following culprits:
OS/Host:
32bit vs. 64bit (vanilla minimal Debian Lenny) / physical vs. virtualised - same problem, doesn't matter.
Requirements:
minimal VM 2GB Ram + 400MB Swap within ESXi on old Hardware up to dedicated physical Host Phenom II 8 GB Ram + 8GB Swap - no effect on the issue
Player Acc / GM / Cubi / whatever:
All Combinations of 'xml manipulated' or standard Account, GM, with and w/o cubi trans, Playerlevels etc. - no effect ->no relation to that issue
Gameclient:
Complete Recreation of the Gameclient per pwd - no effect
btw: i borrowed a 2nd Tft to monitor ALL PW Deamons incl. ./gs 'map' at runtime
Testrun X (for example):
Login std lvl 50 player, enter is02 (SecretPassage) - ok. Logout. Reboot or Restart PW-Server-Software. Login. is02 - unable to enter :?: If i was within the is02 on logout, i start in is02 on login but can not exit the instance, getting 'unable to enter..'
Same behavior on all Instances. So, it seems the instances themself are working correctly, just the transfer of PlayerXY between the gameservers on entering/exiting a dungeon only occurs by chance. The Transfermessage from the gdeliveryd on a successful entering is the only difference between entering OK or FAIL. On a Fail just nothing appears on the logs.
Crap.. I'm really about to :*:. Help truly is welcome.

Unless you feel like changing thousands of quests to the new max level (I don't know of any reliable way to do it automatically besides coding a new feature into sTaskedit), the fact that the game was very very built for 150 to be the max level and that many of us here all believe that servers with a cap higher then 150 are retarded. If you don't want people leveling as fast (assuming that is why you want a higher cap...) then just lower the exp multiplier...

1: I never heard of this issue before, so no idea what cause it
2: For the 'testrun' you did when the server gets restarted you must make sure the instance it was in is running, if you can't walk out of the normal teleport try the fb29 instance in their then leave (different teleport) because your main exit might have an incorrect teleport value
Also see if you can leave with a teleport stone if neither of those work, if it doesn't even let you out like that then you have an issue with more then just teleport zones...

I must say, I'm not typing out my entire rant on this subject yet again. In short, yes, wanting a level cap of more than 150 is just straight retarded!
