97D Version - Magic Gladiator from beginning

[oldknight]

Hello all,

i know 97D is an old version, but, i still like it, and play it on my own server, but i want to remake and reopen my server but with some changes.

I want players to be able to create Magic Gladiator from start,in the game, without needing an character of Level 220.

Cause, other way, by website, i could do it myself, but that way, the character won't have the short sword and the round shield on him, and i don't know how to make in the website script to put those item on the Magic Gladiator :) so....
By creating it in the game, it will have those items on it, and would look more legit if they can create it from in the game.

So, where i have to edit in the GS, or may DS? i don't know, so that players can create Magic Gladiator from start if they like it.


I will have some other stuff to fix and i would be needing help from qualified programers, but i will leave that for later.


Thank you.

hi
yes you need to do it in dataserver.
i did it in season 2 dataserver, damn i forgot the offsets.. but somewhere just search in Ollydbg 220 in hexademical or something and u might find it.
else u can try the season 2 dataserver and may we can find other solution if that doesnt work either.
DLCreationLevel

I will try the DLCreationLevel first, and i will see.
I have to replace Dataserver 1 right? with that file.


Thank you, hope it works.

[KarLi]

replace the dataserver in both dataserver1 and 2

[oldknight]

hmm, i can't start the dataserver's because i don't have some files...perhaps files that an S2 server has, so, i can't use it.
and i tried to search for 220 in hex and no success.

Edit: i have even searched for "create" and "magic" and "gladiator" and no success....

[KarLi]

so what files are required to run the dataserver of s2 ?

[Natzugen]

if you changed the dataservers you have to edit the folder direction from where the dataservers read the the files with ollydbg

[oldknight]

the error's order are from left to right.
i made a shortcut for the dataserver.exe with the port at the end.

I don't have MapServerInfo.dat file.... and, he's searching for it in /data/, i don't think that matter to him if it's Data or data...

Edit: i don't think that's the only issue natzugen, i think is DB issue either....

I can try change the files path, but what about MapServerInfo ? that's a file from S2, i don't need that in 97d Server...and what about Stored Procedures?

I think the best,easy way is to hex, or ollydbg in my original dataserver's , to find the line that involves the Magic Gladiator required level.

give me your dataservers

[oldknight]

i was wondering, if you manage to make it, you can create magic gladiator if you have one of the other 3 characters, of level 1? cause, i wanted players to be able to create the magic gladiator like the other characters, without needing a dark wizard/dark knight/elf of level 1.

[KarLi]

ok it gets wierd with that dataserver i cannot find the 220 lvl
search for the offset
0041BF5B - thats where i get the CMP ECX, XX

other CMP ECX Offsets in your dataserver:
004103FE



I also got this
0040B776 |. 3D DC000000 |CMP EAX,0DC

0DC = 220 LEVEL try to change it to just CMP,EAX,0 if works or else must make it 1 level... and test.



here example of how to find/search and find out, cus i dont have time tonight.

[oldknight]

yes, i have found them, but not good at it or understand the way it works...
i better leave it to you for when you got time and feel you want to do it....there's no deadline :) thanks for your help.

[KarLi]

here then just test this for today

Zippyshare.com - Dataserver.zip

also try with and without character.
and on both dataserver1/2.

Ok, so, here it is:

1. replaced DataServer 1, entered the game, i couldn't create MG from start, i created level 1 character, i couldn't create MG.
2. replace DataServer 2, entered the game, after i input the account and password to log in, DataServer 1 Crashes.
3. if i try to re-enter in the account with just DataServer2, the DataServer 2 crashes too.

It seems that after i put back my old DataServer 2, DataServer 1 still crashes after i try to log in.

No success.

[KarLi]

yeah well.. you can maybe try this with dataserver 0.99x or season 1 mate, but cant do much on that cus i am also no coder and thats alot of complexity lol

[oldknight]

or until i reopen my server in 2 years, i wait for someone who can help me, or create an website script for creating magic gladiator. :) as i said, no deadline. maybe you can figure it out mate. thanks for your time.
