WARNING : Huge wall of text ... drink something before start reading ... :drinks_no



Hello.

I worked a lot of days to my server alone and now i got some problems ...


Because i made this server alone i don't have anywhere els to ask ... so here are my problems ... i will ask all of my questions here because i don't wanna spam all the forum with my stupid problems -.-" ... if some 1 wanna answer me is ok and will receive a THANKS from me and who is here only to tell me craps like : "search yourself" or "you are noob ... no 1 will help you" or just spam with idiot replays just to increase they post count and so on ... just STFU and go to another threads ...

1) Why the hex i cannot lunch the server on the internet? ... i forwarded all ports ... i changed all IPs to my external IP and i still can't connect to my server ... if i use my LAN IP i can connect without any problems (except the channel connect bug -.-" ) but when i turn all IP to WAN i cannot connect anymore and non of my friends can ... so what i'm doing wrong? ...

2) I see that recently the team from Cabal Extreme succeeded and they repaired the channel connect bug ... how they did it? @_@ ... maybe 1 of you is a GM there and can tell us your secrete? or maybe any1 els know the source of the problem? ...

3) How is possible to create items with options ? ... i know that i asked this somewhere els but i didn't get it ... i used the guide from darkxl's stinky (the 3rd from the end [the huge 1]) ... but when i send that command it say "1 raw affected" and nothing changes in game ...

4) How to clear the DB? I mean how to empty the DB and create new characters / accounts etc ...

5) mmhmm ... What was the command to create accounts? and the command to clear the inventory of a character? ...

6) Why sometimes if no1 is online on the server it just stop itself or if i stop it ... the server will start again alone in about 1 min -.-" ... why ? ... is this something normal? ...

7) How to edit quests? ... i only need to edit the leveling up quests ... or there is another way to get directly the bike and combo skills?

This is all for the moment ...

New questions will be in DarkOrange color ...


More questions will be added in future xD ...

Thx in advance ... and sry if my English is not perfect :P

1. A lot of people are struggling with this one but it only affects router owners and not cable/modem owners. My opinion from the testing that i have done is that the server can only listen on one network at a time (LAN or WAN) and not both. Getting external players in is easy but LAN players can't connect, do it the other way around and LAN players can get in but not external. The server processes are always handing back a wrong IP address to one type of player or the other. It all depends on what IPs (LAN or WAN) you put in the worldsvr config.

2. A few people have cured it (i won't name the ones i know as it will probably start a flame war) and have refused to share the fix. Either they want their server to be one of the few "working" ones or they want money for the fix. It is going to take one of the more generous people to discover the fix and share it sadly, there are a lot of people working on it so the fix will be found eventually.

3. The simplest way to do this is with the cabalcash gm tool in the pack in darkxl's "stinky" (roflmfao!). After giving yourself the item you usually have to log out to the char select screen and back in again (the login bug won't hit you doing that) to ge teh "receive item" button to appear. If nothing appears then you probably tried adding it to the wrong player number (check yours on the cabal_auth_table in the account db) or you are missing some tables from the CabalCash db (your cash dbagent log will show errors if this is the case).

If it's the cash database then let me know as mine works ok. I should be putting my databases on the topic in my sig either today or tomorrow after a little more testing. I have been a little more careful this time as i cleared some tables i shouldn't have done last time and took the link down (the dbs were marked as "beta" with a warning though).

EDIT:

4. For the game databse you run the init.gamedb stored procedure but for the otehr databases you have to do it manually (and carefully, see above!). The databases i will be adding to my topic will have a few new stored procedures including inits for the other dbs.

5. On the account db execute the following:

exec dbo.cabal_tool_registerAccount 'username','password'

Thank You :* ... btw ... i have cable connection and i still can't connect ... and my friends can't connect too ... why?

All IPs are my WAN Ip and all ports are fowerded ...

EDIT: How to clear the inventory of a character ? ... because i have a lot of bind items and i can't even sell them :)) ...

[guybrush]

a quick way to clean a inv. its:

Under your gamedb database and changing your characteridx.

update cabal_inventory_table set Data=0x where CharacterIdx=3197

[mmoobb]

Ok thx guy ... now the last problem is that with "how to set the server on WAN IP" :)) ...

i'm still tersting some stuff ... if any1 knows my problem plox post her e...

[guybrush]

for sure your config files are wrong.
Add your wan ip to your worlds config becouse that ip its the one who login send to client to make the connection.

[mmoobb]

rofl ... i already changed all IPs from all config files to my WAN IP ..

PS: chumpywumpy i will wait for your DBs ... thx in advance ...

[mmoobb]

Updated the question list :) ...

[cypher]

I should have watched my mouth and not said/talked shit to DeadlyData telling him things like your are not welcome here because then I become the one who is truly not welcome here.

@cypher66 ...

6. That`s a client bug that shows you that the server dissapered... it`s normal don`t worry you can check your logs for you to confirm it.

No no ... you don't understand right xD ... i wasn't talking about the channels in the client ... but sometimes when i write service cabal status in terminal it shows me something like this :

running ...
running ...
stopped
stopped
running ...
stopped

and if i write service cabal restart it is like this

OK
OK
Faild
Faild
OK
Faild

I am just curious why it is happening? :) ... why they stop without a reason? ... and why they stop automatically? or if stop all of them with service cabal stop ... after about 1 min i write service cabal status all of them are ON ... without my command -.-" ...

Ok. Whatever ... lets go beck to the main problem ...

I am using CentOS 4.5 from the DarkXL sticky and i used his Chinese guide ... because from mahi's guide i get some errors and both my windows network and centos network doesn't works if i make like in mahi's guide ...

I am using bridge connection in centos ... should i change to NAT? and i need to change some settings? ...

EDIT: ... i will wait for your video about how to fix that problem xD ... thx in advance ...

EDIT: ... i just tested and if i change my network to NAT i cannot connect anymore with WinScp ... is this normal? ... now i changed it back to bridge and it works again ...

[mmoobb]

question list updated xD ....

[chumpywumpy]

The quests are very hard to do. The quest data is stored in one big value that you need to be able to decode and you also need to know the quest nubers to be able to set them as "done". Check darkxl's sticky as it has Clust3r's info on the inventory/warehouse binary format and the quests are the same.

This won't help you with bikes/boards though. Completing the quests isn't enough as both bike and board require the skills to use and you don't automatically get them by setting the quests as done. The skill list is set out largely the same way ad items and quest data but i don't know if there is a class level requirement for bikes/boards though.

[mmoobb]

Ok. I understand this ... but there is any way to get the bike/combo/board skills without doing quests? becouse clust3r told us in 1 of his thread that he found a way ...
