[Tutorial] Local/Online setup

[john007]

I just use simple LAN IPs it works fine. Just the hosting needs to allow particular programs through the firewall. It's like blocking by firewall that's why client couldn't connect in. So, if you are using evolve. You will need to open ports for other people to join the game? Or it's same as Hamachi?

If it is LAN then you dont need open ports.
Play around with firewall setting then

Yeah, I will.. gotta find out which programs needed to allowed on my firewall. Firewall off is just too dangerous. Worms and viruses could comes in anytime.

Currently, I'm testing servers with my bros on LAN. He got a new laptop 2 days ago.

Check the services, if u have run server in localhost, u need to stop "Remote Control Client Service" and "Remote Control Server Service" and run it again with edited RCConfig.xml, if u dont know how to stop it, enter this in to CMD (run as adminsitrator):
NET STOP "Remote Control Client Service"
and
NET STOP "Remote Control Server Service"

then run InstallService.bat again

What are you talking about? You don't even know about firewall?

Yeah the better way of doing it is figuring out how to resign HFS files and editing the featureMatrix client side then you would just
replace the fields in teh client with the correct ip/hostname. However since nobody has done that since the early days of vindictus... your burnt and have to use the host file replacements.

Is there a tutorial on this anywhere and one for making a patcher to so i can push out the modified hfs files to my friends clients.

Anyone hosting with Hamachi? I think Arena does not work with this guide. But worked fine with LAN IPs. I changed everything according to this guide but can't enter Arena. Still getting `Awaiting for Hosting... then ends with server delayed messages.

Edit: look like I was wrong. I think my host PC with WiFi adapter preventing from working.

I've tested on my ethernet LAN connection which has the same as my WiFi adapter connected to my router.
I changed everything same as my WiFi adapter Host only different is the Hamachi's IP, of course. Arena just worked like this and my Vindictus client sit on C:\ instead of D:\ from a new laptop with Windows 10 for test purposes. Still can enter Arena, even the settings isn't same as this guide told http://forum.ragezone.com/f946/help-...-dont-1107992/
It's not DMZ from my router either. I haven't play much with that settings.

Turn off RCClient and RCServer in services.msc, make your changes and restart the services

Thanks Delteros, got it, but still not working with friends, is the problem because i'm hosting from a Virtual Machine? (I did configure everything, I Guess.)
Oh, and I've tryied to use a DNS Dynamic (No-IP) but no sucess too

Edit1: I did everything, got ports opened on mine Modem, put in the links on service with the IP, but no changes, and I've checked about Apple Services too.

Guys I get it, but now mine friend is gotting the message "The channel is currently too crowded" and he cant do any mission or nothing like that... what is it? I didnt change the DB string 127.0.0.1,1433....

I used Evolve, make a room for lan game, copy/paste evolve lan ip to some files, just follow the tutorial where the LAN IP is.
And your network must be local network to allow people to connect.
And people that play with you must have their host file edited with your lan ip to forward their connection to your LAN IP.

@WAMVN ip lan refers to 192.1.x.x? Ipconfig ip?

Lan Ip can be hamachi ip or evolve lan ip.
Evolve give u a lan ip when u create game room.

Can someone please help me? I edited all the files as instructed with my Lan IP which is my IPV4 address, however when I try to login on my HOST computer I still do not get the server selection. (I disabled the firewall as well, and stopped apple service).

are you using one pc to connect to the server or two pcs? it sounds like you may have another application running on your pc that is using the port to connect the client to the server download and run TCPViewer you can google it i think i have it on the front page.

or you can run CMD in admin mode and run the commands:

netstat -o -n -a | findstr 0.0:PORT
or
netstat -na | find "Port with Quotes"

if you get a return listening something is running on that port and u need to do a taskkill command:

taskkill /F /pid port number

i have not played with the files in a long time so i forgot which port is for the client communication to the server you would have to find out on your own.
