little question

[gaseline11]

I have a little question.
I'm new to cabal private servers.
so can anyone tell me what the best server files are and where i can find them?
or maybe give a little tutorial?

I'm not new to private server because i already have a flyff server. so i know a little bit of installing databases and server.

please help?

Most people (?) here have been using Chumpy's Server Re-Pack and working off of those. I'll be nicer than some and give you the link to his collection here:

Chumpy's Collection on RageZone

If you follow his guides (not just skim them), you could be on your way to a good working server. There are also other guides and tutorials here, but I just personally found his the easiest and most hassle free. Good luck.

EDIT: I dont understand this files.. i downloaded the repack and all i get is lots of weird files... what do i have to do with the files? :S

Cabal is a bit harder than flyff from what i hear (never played flyff). You are going to need to learn a little about MSSQL and Linux at the very least as both are needed for Cabal because the server only runs on linux and MSSQL only runs on Windows (we can't use other database types).

1. Install MSSQL (2005 express is free) and restore the databases.

2. Install centos is vmware (if you only have 1 computer, centos on a second "real" computer is better).

3. Follow the miniguide that comes with my repack. My install and config scripts make this bit very easy and do most of it for you.

4. Everything you need is in my sig or my mediafire page (www.mediafire.com/chumpy).

As Darth Medicus says you won't be able yo get away with skimming my guides unless you are already pretty experienced at MSSQL and Linux. Most people new to cabal struggle a bit at first but don't give up right away as once you get it you will wonder why you found it so hard first time ;)

The most common issues are the database configuration as though sql 2005 is free a default install is completely wrong (express and non-express editions have different default installs). If you run into potential database problems run my config check query on any database and post the results.

If you get stuck post here. After a bit of browsing around you will see i'm always on answering help requests ;)
