97d Version - Run 2 GS on same PC

[oldknight]

Hi, i want to run 2 GameServers on the same PC, running same DB so i can have 1000 people online, 500 on first GS, 500 on the second.

As from what i remember, i created a folder in MuServer, called SV2(or whatever you want to call it)
containing data folder, a DataServer and the GameServer, and that's it, right?

Of course i changed ports for the DataServer and GameServer in the shortcut, and the ServerCode in the data folder in file ServerInfo, created a new list in the ConnectServerList.

The problem is that the Dataserver starts just fine, but the Gameserver says that it's already running, so, i can't open the second server....

what am i missing? i checked twice the address of the shortcut and stuff, the path is correct, but it says is already running.

I don't need to run the second server yet, but, just in case when and if i reach 500, i have to open the second server, and i want to be there, made, ready, just to open the Dataserver and GameServer.


Thank you.

anyone?

gameserver launches muoline (the DB name) so if u find that in gameserver.exe with ollydbg or configs and change it to muonline2 then ur right to go.

I don't want to use different DB's, i want the same DB.
Nevermind, i figure it out myself last night playing with it and looking in Task Manager when it tried to open...it seems that GS doesn't want to start twice on the same PC User.
So, i've gone to the Control Panel, User Account, and created another administrator user, called GS2, or whatever you would like to call it, and put a password,doesn't work with no password.
Then, when i want to open the second GS, i right click on the shortcut(containing ip ports, etc) (i don't use mu start up) and click " Run as.." select the just created user profile, type the password, and click ok, it will Run no problem.

But you need 2 DataServer, like for first server, Data folder, 2 Data Servers and GameServer and Success.
Now i have my second Server with the same DB.
And if a spot is occupied on first Server, perhaps on the Second is Free :)

Thanks anyway for posting, but i don't want to make 2 DB's.
That kind of Server i saw at Cabal Servers, where you had the same account for every server, but the characters remains on the server you created them, so, i don't want that kind of functionality.

Have a nice day.
