Solution:
Make sure you have your Public / VPN IP address into "loginIp" column of "server_info" table in the Node JS API, then allow the following ports in your windows fw and router,

80 (Assuming you're using a custom webpage in the same machine with ssl enabled)
8090 (Assuming you're using that port in API_PORTAL_LISTEN_PORT)
7801 (Assuming you're not using the proxy, if so, allow the port you choose as proxy)

Client [] Module [PDL.xml] Version Mismatched! [S:XXXXXX] [C:XXXXXX]

Archgeus - How to Install TERA Retail Server - RaGEZONE Forums


Solution: Client versions are not compatible between updates, so if you downloaded a 100.02 server then you must use a 100.02 client. Using a 115.02 client or superior will not work.

How i change the gameforge welcome message in client chat box?

Solution:
Can be edited from StrSheet_SystemMessage.xml (client side)

I'm still polishing this and will be more guides coming near the future.

**If your tutorial or release is not present here, it doesn't mean that isn't useful...i just didn't added it yet.

Credits and Thanks to all RaGEZONE community folks who shared their knowledge and doesn't keep for themselves or for profit.

I tried running it as "Administrator" and it's still not working. I'm not sure if the folder I have downloaded is corrupted or not. Can anyone share the file you are using?

I've been following the video guide (https://forum.ragezone.com/threads/...setup-proxy-server-setup.1212721/post-9172241) closely, step by step, using these:
  • TERA Client 100.02 GF
  • TERA Server Live 100.02 TW (rev. 376951, proto. 376012)
Everything worked out as shown in the video guide, but I got stuck with a similar problem as above (https://forum.ragezone.com/threads/how-to-install-tera-retail-server.1209184/post-9203302) when running "2. StartTopography.bat", even as Administrator.

Is there a step-by-step start-from-scratch guide for 100.02 for total complete noobs, or does it mean 100.02 does not work and we should be using only these instead:
  • TERA Client 92.04 TW (proto. 367081) + Translations + Sound
  • TERA Server Live 92.04 TW (rev. 367084, proto. 367081)

If you are getting error (5), it's means access denied.

I suggest you to move the server files to other root disk like D or E and set run as adminstrator directly in the executable itself not in the batch file.

All leaked versions are working fine. (92.03/04 & 100.02)

Thanks very much for the tip! TopographyServer.exe runs fine now as per the video guide.

But now I am stuck at 18:19 of the video. Running "start.bat" in folder "arb_gw" under TERA Server Live 100.02 TW (rev. 376951, proto. 376012) does not work for me. It seems the file "arb_gw_tw2.exe" is missing. There is a file "hub_gw.exe" instead.

I tried renaming "hub_gw.exe" to "arb_gw_tw2.exe", and ran "start.bat" again since it requires the latter file, but it doesn't work too.

Please see screenshot comparison. Thanks.

Hi,

First of all, this is not an emulator, this a retail server files (officially used by happytuk, official publisher of tera in Taiwan)

And yes, just compensate the lack of ram using virtual memory.

The min specs i tested the server files is i7-4790

Hello!
Before I begin.
Do I need a new Win 10 version in English, or does it also work if I change the system language from German to English?
