How to setup ur own 97d+99 router guide!

Some Qeustions about this guide!

Does this Guide Support Routers ? Yes , i made a router guide.

How can i make myself characters , gm's , sets? Use the editor i posted here

What things do i need to make my own server ? Use the server files i used in here

Can i make other server files in this guide ? U might have to use another guide!



Server Setup Settings !

U have to download sql server in the first place. This file is optional in making a server.

You can download the Microsoft Sql Server : here!

Installing SQLEVAL.exe :
-Extract SQLEVAL.exe
-Run Setup.exe and click ''next'' 8 times.
-It will show up a window named : Services Accounts
-In the Service Settings set it to Use the Local System Account. * else it will give you an error *
-Click next and u will see a window named : Authentication Mode window
-Set it to Mixed Mode(Windows Authentication and SQL server Authentication) * make sure u make the right password. Tip : sa
-u need the sa account + password for Online Registration like Mutoolz ! and making ODBC Reg like Mutoolz !
- After that Click ''Next'' and contineu the installation. * now this part is done *

U need ServerFiles for making ur own server.
These files can be found : Here!

After that u have to put the ''MuServer'' file in ur C:\ or D:\
* Make sure it's not double , for example : C:\MuServer\Muserver *

Server ip Settings

C:\MuServer\CS\Connectserverlist.dat ( Global Ip )

C:\MuServer\CS\data\Connectserverlist.dat ( Global Ip )

C:\MuServer\CS\data\ServerInfo.dat ( Global Ip )

C:\MuServer\CS\data\ServerList.dat ( Global Ip )

Open this file with ''NotePad'' or ''WordPad'' , change the ''127.0.0.1'' into ur global ip. Wich can be found : here

Now the CS is done , than go this :

C:\MuServer\data\commonserver.cfg ( Local Ip Start>Run>cmd>ipconfig )
C:\MuServer\data\IpList.dat ( Global Ip )
C:\MuServer\data\lang\chs\commonloc.dat ( Local Ip Start>Run>cmd>ipconfig )

In these files press : ''Ctr+F'' put ''127.0.0.1'' and replace it in ur Local Ip like told here before.

Other files u have to change into ip's are :

C:\MuServer\Links\4.ink ( Local Ip . Start>Run>cmd>ipconfig )
C:\MuServer\Links\8.ink ( Local Ip . Start>Run>cmd>ipconfig )

In the 4.ink u have to press ; right click , proppeties , and u will see ''127.0.0.1'' overwrite it with ur local ip.

Do the same with 8.ink but this file has 2 ip's ''127.0.0.1'' overwrite both with ur local ip.

Than go : C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\
Open the ''Host file'' and u will see the followed information :

[COLOR="Red"]# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# Dit is een voorbeeld HOSTS-bestand dat wordt gebruikt door Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# Dit bestand bevat de toewijzingen van IP-adressen naar hostnamen. Elke vermelding

# geplaatst, gevolgd door de bijbehorende hostnaam. Het IP-adres en de hostnaam dienen
# gescheiden te zijn door ten minste

Good guide! :P
But i can't make a server bcoz ofmy Virtual Memory... My bro can, but i dnno if my dad wants... He says HIS internet, mail etc. goes SLOWER then normal, with my server online..
Is that true? Does your PC goes slower when u heav a Server?

- A friend.

i put all and evrything but... if i click on server button is say ''connected to the server'' but i dont get the ''ID'' and ''Pass'' screen :( pls help

can u include microsoft loopback adaptor cuz i dont have it...for some reason its not in hardware to install...

wow this is nice great job!!, but i have a qt can i run sql using Windows 64bit? not vista just the real 64bit windows without any problem?

Than go : C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\
Open the ''Host file'' and u will see the followed information :

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

#
# Dit bestand bevat de toewijzingen van IP-adressen naar hostnamen. Elke vermelding

#
# Daarnaast kunnen opmerkingen (zoals deze) worden toegevoegd op extra

#
# Bijvoorbeeld:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # bronserver
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x clienthost

127.0.0.1 localhost

Below the 127.0.0.1 localhost write ur local ip and ur dns

For Example : 127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.xx.xx mydns.no-ip.org

But if my internet is set with "Obtain an IP adress automatically" and i don't have a DNS...What can I do?
I put it like this?

For Example : 127.0.0.1 localhost
86.122.xxx.xx

(x are some numbers don't think i'm stupid :) )
???

how much room does it take
does it work 100%
how to create accoutns?
has anyone tried it?

What is difference between Global Ip and Local Ip?

How to see Local Ip and global?

When i go to www.whaismyip.com, it give me this
220.255.50.xxx,
165.21.154.xxx
Which on is global and local? Up or Down?

The password thing on installing SQL, wat do you mean by,(Tip: sa)?

Wat is this? This is optional for router users. This file should be added else people get dc after few seconds and Start>Control Panel>HardWare and install ''Microsoft Loopback Adaptor''
I cannot find Microsoft Loopback Adaptor...

Please forgive me for my many question. I hope you can answer me back.

Add me in msn: infinite_holy@hotmail.com
If you want...

what is my DNS and how can I find out?

omgi tried at and it worked
ty man youre great

ps im not makeinga new server for everyone just for learning something about making server ^^

Good Work.....

-Set it to Mixed Mode(Windows Authentication and SQL server Authentication) * make sure u make the right password. Tip : sa

How do I put the IP into the client files though??

I followed all the server instructions, and it starts up right, but I can't seem to get the client files to work to connect to my server! Can someone PM me with the steps?? I am lost :S I have tried everything.

Ok, I don't know what happened to my old post, so I'm posting again. Someone tell me what is up. I got everything down packed, server starts up perfectly, and I put the ip in the main.exe, with hte correct port. But it's not connecting. If Someone can pm, that woudl be great!

Well u should check ur ''hosts'' file in ur Windows extension.
This would make sence ;)
Or u should check the '''Microsoft Loopback Adaptor''
Good luck + thanks for all the complimants!

eh my ip keeps changing =.= lol

nice guide everything worked fine with me


but i dont have Microsoft Loopback Adapter where can i get it ?

yeah realy good job non guild got me this far 1 guild even got my internet out for 2 weeks
not that it whas his fould but mine

anyway when my server runs i dont get a login screen?! help plz

yeah good work but when i start server and i go ingame there wont be a log in screen

good job i love it non guild got me this far but i just need 1 single thing

when i start the game on client and then it says loading then the screen were should be a log in screen comes but there isnt a log in

ok now easy :

log in screen wont show up

umm where can i find my dns it isnt under ipconfig

just to help you out ill answer some of the questions asked here..
1st - your local IP is the Ip of your computer within the LAn network. the global /public is the Ip of your computer to the outside world.
2cnd- the guide works. I've personally set up my server a few times just for kicks and it works. 100% . To create accounts i suggest you use MuEditor this also helps you assigm Gm status to chars, give items to players and just all around manage your server.
3rd- you should be fine using sql on 64 Bit. Im using a 64 bit processor as well and no problems there.
4-th just a heads up in order to make a server using a newer verions for example 1.01 E you will need sql 2005 not 2000.
6th once you know how to set up a server you can get one fully runiing from scratch in about 10-15 minuetes minus download time of files.

any other questions can be asked to me since Noobies doesnt seem to be updating this thread anymore.. not tring to blame anyone just attempting to help out..

Hopefully someonw will see this soon. I've managed to get to "Restoring the Databases" all fine and dandy, but when when I right click on MuOnline there is no option of 'all tasks' or 'restore database'. What did I miss?

When I right click on MuOnline and Databases I see no options for 'All tasks' or 'Restore database'. What'd I do wrong?

hmm man i have tried to make a server on my friends pc he has a router and doesn't work anyway i havbe tried another way and works i used hamachi and in all files who need to modify with ip i put the ip that hamachi gives me

If you use hamachi incase of your router than you should edit it in the following way:

You should open a network and pick up the ip.
Once you've done this replace your Global ip with the hamachi ip's and you'r ready to go!

And for the people where the server login screen doesen't shows up...

Are you using router or not?

I believe I've done everything correctly since I got no errors. Everything went perfect. But when I'm trying to connect through the same computer to the server, the mu client is run but I see no server. Instead a message is appeared (with blue letters or in a pop-up messagebox) saying that i'm disconnected from the server..
I just want to have a lan mu server that's why the ip i've chosen is 10.0.x.x .
I'm not sure about the host file. I have a router and not a dns . So I typed "10.0.x.x localhost" (instead of the x.x are two numbers).
Have i done something wrong?
I will try to connect through an other pc and tell you the result..

So you can't see the server button?
Probably relly on the main.exe, replace it with 97d+99b main :D
see link: Twilight MU Download Center - SeeItWorks!

Well, actually I had placed the 99b items and main before you told me to do so.
I'm still getting a dc error when I try to connect.

Did u opened the ports correctly?

Actually the ip that i'm using on the server is different from the one that i opened the ports on.
The ip which i opened the port is 10.0.0.138 but my lan ip is 10.0.0.2

Put ur lan ip in there ;)

Nothing special happened..
in the server files, should I use the lan ip or the router ip(which is also in the network)?

Its a great guide well the server files worked great but i couldnt connect I dont know why :( well i used ecery IP that u should use (with LAN it didnt show the server) (with WAN and No-IP DC) so any1 knows about the prob?

Although it is said to be easy,I've never managed to run up a mu server..

uhmm, all ip's set right? all steps good?

yes i followed the guide as you said

Only open (55901,44405) Both TCP, no other ports are needed. Having multiply ports open higher the risk of hack attacks.

Read the guide more carefully next time, it's in guide :D

Code:

---

This is optional for router users. This file should be added else people get dc after few seconds.

After that go : Start>Control Panel>HardWare and install ''Microsoft Loopback Adaptor''

When u've done that go to ur lan connection map Wich can be found in ur Control Panel either.
See : ''Microsoft Loopback Adaptor'' and press ''Proppeties''.
Than press ''Internet-Protocols [TCP/IP]'' and press ''Proppeties''
U will see three lines :
IpAdress : global ip : ''www.whatismyip.com''
SubnetMask: 255 0 0 0 ( for expample u can find : Start>Run>CMD>ipconfig )
Default GateAway: ur lan ip : ''Start>Run>cmd>ipconfig''

Than Press : Ok 2 times until the window is gone.

kk , these are ip problem.

Check if your ip's are in the exact way i told in this guide !!
Any small detail can be problem :D

These are the "link" files for people who use a C:\ drive,I had some trouble opening properties.. and a few others have to so I thought i'd upload them

NOTE:These are the SAME exact files,so don't be nervous.The path has just been changed from D to C,so you don't need to wait 3 hours to even see if properties will open up ^^

BTW this is a great guide,everything you need is included :) thanks for this wonderful addition to MU guides.

Also,guide for loopback here

Ok,I will give these files a try but :
I need a new direct link for client.The other one denies my access to iy.Thank you(I just dont want to risk downloading the wrong client)
And a question,the client main,at the Login Screen,is it the Ships one the sea backround or is it The castle,the cliff can the DarkLord?

Thanks in advance

------------
Milly

It's the ships.

Oh yes! :P my second server is so going to be these files.
Thanks!!
I will set them up and tell you of my progress.

Can some one please Post the Client files becease when i try to conect it lets my put in my pass word and acc. but then it says you have the wrong game verson and must update...


Thanks
