This reads as though the launcher is available as a compiled binary. I see zero releases for that project, and no compiled downloads. Which is correct? Is there something I missed, or do you need to download the TERA API, node.js, the launcher, and Resource Hacker, then build and patch it yourself?Step 3: Download the Launcher (this should be copied into the TERA client in the root directory
where the Binaries, Engine, and S1Game folders are located; see the following image).

Use this link and click on the download button.

This file must then be moved to the folder where the client is as described.
Just to add to what Ophimus wrote, the main repository does include the launcher binary; it's located in the dist folder. There is no source code for the launcher binary since it's from the original Taiwanese publisher. The virtual machine itself has all of the base server installation done including node.js and hsdn's TERA API (the existing virtual machine download does not have the latest update; June 16th as of this writing though). Since this tutorial is written for tya411's base virtual machine, I would recommend getting that up and running first (including being able to register an account, creating a character, and making sure it can enter the game world) before updating the API/anything on it for troubleshooting purposes.
Thank you for the help.
I have a question. I went through your tutorial and successfully made an account and entered the game. I have no intention on making a TERA private server, I just want to play offline and I'm new to all of this so I'm not that knowledgeable as yet. Was wondering from the server-side how do I start adding things into the game like tikat shops, elite status etc., editing items? Like which program on the VM do I have to use and how do I use it? Is it possible to make a tutorial on how to do these things in the PlanetDB while playing the game offline? I have looked at all the threads on the various things to add to the game but I just don't have the knowledge on how to edit the PlanetDB stuff on the SQL program (or whatever program else) on the VM. It will be greatly appreciated if you can do this for beginners thanks! :)
All those are done by either using the web app for some or the server files directly. There are no specific programs designed for it you simply need to edit the right files correctly.
As I said I have little to no knowledge about what to do after the fact that I got the game running. It would be nice to have a simple tutorial of some sort to actually know what to do from there because I literally have no clue. Like how to access and use the webapp or whatever else that is used to edit files of the game. Any help is much appreciated. :)

can i run this 100.2 server on VM pro or player version??
which one is good for this 100.2 version?
i heard that the player's version is free? how come?? is that work for tera server install?
Both can run it. The free version just does not have functions that the pro version has, which arent really needed.
i can't run the StartTopography this server,,
what is my problem..???

usually its because you didn't start it as administrator
OK,,it working now..it can load all of zone files ....i start as adminstrator...
but now have another problem....
after it loaded the files ,,and then it closed by itself...

I second voxelkitten's suggestion on some basic editing help.
I'd also like to know more about how to use this WebApp and something very simple such as modifying existing skill or item attributes/variables. Specifically, I'd love to be able to change how some skills (cards) or gathering tools decrease gathering/crafting times. Or better yet, eliminate the gathering timer entirely. I mostly just want to adjust some stuff to make my server gameplay less grindy without resorting to GM commands.
Example; some basic instruction how to make an item go from Crit Factor 3 --> Crit Factor 9 would be super helpful too.
=========================================================
@voxelkitten
I've been able to figure out that most of the server's common gameplay variables are in WorldData.xml inside D:\Server\Executable\Bin\Datasheet
Example, modifying the default combat speeds:
<StandardAttackSpeed warrior="120" lancer="100" slayer="110" berserker="90" archer="120" sorcerer="110" priest="105" elementalist="105" soulless="100" engineer="100" fighter="100" assassin="100" glaiver="100" hero="100" npc="100" />
These control all the attack and skill speeds for the players. What I did was set each value to half (warrior from 120 to 60) to effectively double the attack and skill speeds by 200%. Makes the game ALOT less slow feeling :-)
But for stuff not easily found in the XMLs, I'm not sure how to edit :-(

Wow this is amazing to note for future reference when I redo my server @slayerjerman
I'm still trying to figure out how to get this VM online to play with another person that I live with and haven't had any luck with this at all. Have you gotten this VM to be online? If so can you help me?
OK so here's how I did setup mine for LAN and I also verified that multiple PCs with the same client connects. I was able to play a 4-person group the other night with my family.
1. In the VmWare settings/properties for the server itself. Before you power on the VM...
Change the Network Adapter from NAT to Bridged: Connect directly to the physical network. Also check mark "replicate physical network connection state" too. (explained on step 6/page 2 in the PDF).
Note: The setup guides all say to use NAT, but with that setting, the server VM only pulls a subnet IP and only works on the localhost PC. IT must be BRIDGED for LAN play.
Once it is Bridged the VM can receive an automatic DHCP local network IP address such as 192.168.1.xxx, which should be what your other PCs on your network/LAN should be pulling too...
2. Start the VM.
Open a command prompt (CMD) and use ipconfig command to verify the VM has a 192.168.1.xxx IP address.
- IF YES, verify that you can connect to the internet (speedtest.net, run a connection test).
- IF YES, verify that you can connect to another local PC on the same network using \\yourpcnname and see any shared folders...etc. Alternatively you can try the command in the prompt for "ping 192.168.1.xxx" from one PC to the VM or from the VM to any real PC...etc.
IF NO to any above, run the network trouble shooter or set the network adapter's properties to obtain an IP automatically and retest the above. I had to do this on my fresh VM when setting up the server VM for the first time.
3. Change your server and launcher IPs.
If your VM is now pulling a LAN IP address staring with 192.168.1.xxx (same as your other PCs on the same network, ideally), now you need to set the VM's server IPs to the LAN IP.
- Check D:\Server\arb_gw\confg_ar_gw.txt (both lines 5 and 6). leave hub_ip alone on line 1.
- Check D:\Server\Executable\Bin\DeploymentConfig.xml (line 23, PDF page4)
- Check D:\tera-api\.env (line 29, PDF page 4, step 8) (I am also using port 8090 as in the PDF)
- Change your Launcher.EXE using resource hacker program and set your IPs in that (step 10, page 5 in PDF)
- Start SQL Management Studio and be sure to set the IP address is correct there for the TCP/IP setting (step 11, page 6 of PDF)
4. After all that, start the Tera server on the VM according to the PDF in the correct order.
5. Try starting Tera and connecting to TeraServer from the HOST PC (if your host is running the VM) with the modified Launcher... Be sure to allow Tera through the firewalls when prompted.
6. IF all is working at this point, COPY the Tera client to another PC that is not the VM or HostPC, see if it can connect also.
Optional (I did NOT have to forward any ports on my router in my VM server setup, but I left the firewall off on the VM as the PDF says), it may also help if you forward the ports 7401, 7501, 7600-7602, 7702, 7801-7803, 7802, 7901, 8800, 8081, 8082, 8090, 11001, 10001 to the VM's LAN IP address.
