How to fix wrong username or password error for 1.4.5 v69 server released by Bola

[skamara]

This error was driving me mad . For people having this problem you can try the following.

Go to your apache root directory commonly located at var/www
Make a file called register.php
enter the script below changing username to watever username you want and password to watever password you want. Make sure password doesnt have uppercase characters. Before anyone asks yes i know this is very unsafe and simply stupid but if you just want to quickly log into your server without making some complicated secure login system. you can use this method of generating the password in your secure login system. Anyways just enter your server ip/register.php in any browser. copy the hash you see and go to your database via phpmyadmin. open the authd table and paste the hash you copied in the password and password2 fields. you can now login without getting this damn annoying error(i hope )

<?

$Login = "username";
$Pass = "password";

$Salt = $Login.$Pass;
$Salt = md5($Salt);
$Salt = "0x".$Salt;

//$Salt = base64_encode(md5($Login.$Pass, true));

echo $Salt;

?>

Well yeah, or you can simply remove call to base64 decode function in mysql procedure, or change register.php to deal with "normal" md5, or use the stupid binary dump method that seems to be so common, etc.

Your way means additional work.

perhaps. just posting this because most people here dont really post how they fixed their problems so you have to waste time finding it yourself. Also i would like to add for anyone having the annoying version low error, gs located in /PWServer/gamed will cause this error if you change it to the v53 patched gs that reads ptemplate.conf for easy xp rate modifications. Basically gs is another cause of this error ontop of the countless others.

guy, you made me laugh so hard, you dont have idea.

[Swoosh91]

I thought it was common sence that using a different gs version then your other daemons will give you problems

i never said i was a perfect world server genius. and to swoosh, its not "common sense" for people who are new to perfect world servers. some people get too arrogant simply because they know more about something than others.

[Swoosh91]

It's common sence that any (software) system that is meant to be used as a single entity has versioning differences, and exchanging components at will will cuase problems. Guess you taught me now that it's not that common

am sure there is a concept called backward compatibility.

[Swoosh91]

Don't want to spam your thread anymore, but there is no backwards compatability in PW. Else, for instance, you could keep using a single version of iweb, because server interface packet structures like

class pwCharBase {
    
    
    public $id;
    public $name;
    public $race;
    public $cls;
    public $gender;
    public $customDataOctetLength;
    public $customDataOctets;
    public $configDataOctetLength;
    public $configDataOctets;
    public $customStamp;
    public $deleteStatus;
    public $deleteTime;
    public $createTime;
    public $lastLogin;
    public $banned;
    public $banInfo; //pwGRoleForbid object reference
    public $helpStatesOctetLength;
    public $helpStates; 
    public $spouse;
    public $userID;
    public $reserved1;

} 

wouldn't have changed. Only thing that stayed the same pretty much is authd, and probably only because it's used accross all wanmei games, so versioning this would be a headache.

<?

$Login = "username";
$Pass = "password";

$Salt = $Login.$Pass;
$Salt = md5($Salt);
$Salt = "0x".$Salt;

//$Salt = base64_encode(md5($Login.$Pass, true));

echo $Salt;

?>

try change to this

$Salt = '0x'.md5($login.$passwd);

is this how server development has turned? in so many years of developing servers now we all gonna bash each other about a script specially when someone just trying to help? vote +1 to close to due bashing...

[Swoosh91]

If you mean me, I am not bashing, just pointing out. This section died because of drama and QQ, your post being the prime example of latter, and not people pointing out facts. And 99% of this section is not development, it's copying stuff from forum to your server.

Just my two cents...

[likertuban]

thanks
it help me so much as beginner

[tbnanubis]

try change to this

where in gods name is that different to the previous script? It does exactly the same and is no improvement at all.

[skamara]

he's most likely trying to show his skills with php. people seem to forget the fact that people with little technical or programming knowledge will attempt to make perfect world server so everything has to be simple to cater for everyone not just the seasoned tinker.
