Some infos and suggestions about a server ...

[mmoobb]

Ok.

I made this thread becouse i'm trying to launch a server for me and some friends untiled the new server Saturn of cabal EU will be opened xD ...

First i got some questions ...

1) The newest update with honour classes are server side right? And there is no way to add them in my new cabal server? (i'm useing cabalEU + darkxl patch + gameguard patch + english patch)

2) Why i have so many bugs? and how i can repair them if its possible ... I will add a list with some critical bugs at the end of the post ... ;-|

3) How i can create items with options? ... i tryed to use Clust3r's guide but when i try to use this command for example :

exec dbo.cabal_tool_SetInventory 21, 0x44004700002800000000000000000000

(yes ... i had a blade +0 no slot in inventory) it tells me 1 row affected or something like this and nothing changes in game -.-" ... so i don't know what to do ...

But now i heard from a friend that there is a way to create items with options directly from cash shop gm tool ... by changeing the option ... is this true? and if yes how i can know what option should i use?

4) I readed darkxl's guide to put server online but if i change all the IPs i need from there i need to change the IPs from cabal game too ... ok i changed them too and i forwarded the ports but i still can't connect ... Now here is my question ... what ports i need to forward exactly? becouse i think there is more then 1 port to forward ...

5) How to "cancel" all quests or mark them as finished quests? ... i don't want each NPC from each town to show me that stupid mark and ask me every time i talk with them about quests -.-"

6) How to get bike / combo / board skills without make the quests ...

7) What is the minimum requrement to run a server with 10 - 50 players? and 1 channel?

8) How i can start tierra gloriosa and how i can set manually (if its possible) the winner nation so i can have the warps for PF / MF / b1f entrance ...


List of bugs from my client xD :


-I got bugs in almost all dungeons ... in SOD when i talk with secound stone it tells me something about the astral board skill -.-" and i can't pass it ... in FT in that room where the mobs need to respown they don't want to respown only 1 time ... and so on

-Why i can't go to LS? why i get that world map error?

-Why if i put the drop rate at a bigger value the mobs drop only the same items? for example the mechamanders in FR drop only map parts and chaos lamps at 900x drop rate xD ... the mobs in PF drops only alz bombs with at last 30kk/bomb xD ... and so on ... and yes i know xD ... i will lower the rates xD ... but i'm just curious ... and with 900x drop rate from all bosses in PF i got only 2 FCH 3 UCH and a chaos lamp -.-" ...

-Is there any way to change the drop of chaos lamps / FCH at bosses and chests? ... its very anoying when you want to drop at last an UCH and you get a stupid chaos lamp with 50 mp pots @_@

Of course i will wait for some more suggestions that can help me in my server development xD and what i can add to my server in future ...

Thank all the guys that helped me untiled now xD and thank in advance to all that will help me with those problems ...

Special thanks to :
-Darkxl for all shared stuff in special for server files
-Mahi for the video guide
-chiishame becouse she helped me with some infos in her thread xD
-and not the last thanks to this forum and all the hosting sites that helped us to host our files ;-)

You do realise that Saturn will be no different to the other servers right? Also, the people saying they won't play until Saturn opens is actually making things worse as well. The GMs have already said they won't open it until the player counts are high enough and lots of people refusing to play is keeping the numbers down and that is why Saturn isn't open yet.

1. Not sure but if it requires code changes then we can't do it. I don't think anyone knows the answer to this yet.

2. We all have bugs and it is down to a number of things. When we know how to fix them the fixes will be posted.

3. Clust3r's guide covers item options as well as we know them. I don't play around with this myself as it takes most of the point out of the game for me so i can't really help there.

4. Check internal.txt as it lists the 2 posts needed. If you are using a router it will be an ip config problem depending on which end you can't connect from (extrnal of fromt he LAN). Remember that the LAN players can't "see" the wan ip address and wan players can't see the lan addresses.

5. The quest data is in the same format as the item data (Clust3r's info). You need to know every quest number to be able to set them as done though and this will also mess with nation selection.

6. Same way as completing quests without doing them, but look at the skillslist table and modify that. It isn'y easy ;)

7. Not nearly enough people have used the server code long enough to answer that one. Let us know when you find out.

8. No idea but it will involve either a channel number change or activating it through the admin channel i've heard about (no idea how to use it though).

9. The LS problem has been posted several times, you need a different file. One quick search would have found you the solution there.

10. This is simple if you understand fractions well enough, not so easy otherwise. You are basically setting the modifier rate so high the random number generator that controls drop % always comes out with the same result (i.e. the "ceiling" value), if you set it too low the opposite is true ("floor" value) and you always get nothing. The way the droprate works in Cabal isn't like too many other games and high rates does not mean your average drop is cooler.

11. This is controlled in the *terrain.scp files in the Data folder. You need to work out which mobs are which and edit their drops. I have not looked in those files much other than confirm what they do though.

Nothing change cuz that code "0x44004700002800000000000000000000" Realy give u blade +0 no slot

If u try this 0x44e04700002800000010000000000000
you will get a blade +7 +1 slot
