[Tutorial] How to setup your gunz server!

I'm not gonna go too far into detail.

What you need:
1. MSSQL 2000 or 2005
2. Server files (no shit)
3. DB files to match the SQL version u are using. (Search for them)
4. Client (search for it)
5. Common sense.

OK.

Setup the Database and ODBC.

This is how i did it and made it work. I know there are bugs, so don't tell me.

Extract the server files to a location. let's make that location variable X.

Open the folder "Matchserver."
Open server.ini
Leave DNS alone.
Fill out ur MSSQL username and pw.

That's mine. (except the username and pw stuff)

Code:

---

[DB]
DNS="GunzDB"
USERNAME="username"
PASSWORD="password"

[SERVER]
MAXUSER=2000
SERVERID=1
SERVERNAME="Server"
FREELOGINIP="127.0.0.1"
;MODE="test"

[LANGUAGE]
LANG_TYPE="eng"

---

NEXT

Open the folder "Serverkeeper"

Open Configure.ini

Where i said make that location variable X, well here's where it comes in.

That's mine

Code:

---

[FTP_SERVER_INFO]
ServerName="ns.maiet.net"
UserName="server"
Password="tkarPxkd"
;FtpRootDir="/home/server"
FtpRootDir="/"
FtpListFile="list.txt"
MatchServerDir="matchserver"
MatchAgentDir="matchagent"

[GENERAL_INFO]
LocalTempDir=".\Temp"
Tok="Temp"
PORT="7779"

[MATCH_SERVER_INFO]
LocalDestServerRootDir="X + \GunzServer\MatchServer"
GameServerPath="X + \GunzServer\MatchServer\MatchServer.exe"
GameServerName="MatchServer.exe"

[MATCH_AGENT_INFO]
LocalDestAgentRootDir="X + \GunzServer\MatchAgent"
AgentPath="X + \GunzServer\MatchAgent\MatchAgent.exe"
AgentName="MatchAgent.exe"

[QUALIFICATION]
IP="127.0.0.1"

---

Then open ServerKeeperConfig.xml.

This is mine:

Code:

---

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="euc-kr" ?>
<XML id="ServerKeeperConfig">
        <SERVERITEM slotid="0">
                <VITALCHECK>TRUE</VITALCHECK>
                <SERVERTYPE>MatchServer</SERVERTYPE>
                <NAME>MatchServer</NAME>
                <PATH>X + \GunzServer\MatchServer\MatchServer.exe</PATH>
        </SERVERITEM>
        <SERVERITEM slotid="1">
                <VITALCHECK>TRUE</VITALCHECK>
                <SERVERTYPE>MatchAgent</SERVERTYPE>
                <NAME>AgentServer01</NAME>
                <PATH>X + \GunzServer\MatchAgent\MatchAgent.exe</PATH>
        </SERVERITEM>       
        <SERVERITEM slotid="2">
                <VITALCHECK>TRUE</VITALCHECK>
                <SERVERTYPE>Locator</SERVERTYPE>
                <NAME>Lcator</NAME>
                <PATH>X + \GunzServer\Locator\Locator.exe</PATH>
        </SERVERITEM>
</XML>

Then setup ur client, and find a working patch. and connect. Before asking me, SEARCH FOR IT.

i kinda know how to setup the odbc(from previous experience) but this guide wont help people who dont know how to so they will get stuck there just letting you know

Hmm this tut helped me out, But it whould have been better if you posted how to make a odbc and a few links to the server files, DBs and what client for them to use... Well thanxz for the tut it will help out some pplz :D

lol? u sure the tut is fine? but u know what would be really good for all!, make a video.
and i dont think many of us know how to do the first part! i mean what u showed us, that have nothing to do with setting up. thats what u explaned, thats what u telling that whats inside of the server file. but i might as well call u a ''noob'' soz for that but there is no other name to call u lol.

i guess i can't do this because i lack common knowledge about sql.

Someone needs to make a tut that tells you how to setup the sql part of the server not just how to make it so people can connect to the server.

Also you need to make a tut that explains how to connect to the server because you can't just use any client, there will be buggs if you do that.

^^ so true!

This tutorial is pretty... useless?

yup! its useless fully! there is nothing to help lol

Thanks
Good job ^^
But user patch? and config
plz up link down patch, thanks

I am using a patch from LGKeiz (or whatever) and i don't think he would like it if i posted the link to it. And yes this tutorial is very helpful. I gave you all the information neccessary to setting up the server. The rest you need to learn on your own or u DON'T need to be running your own server. Setting up ODBC's are the easiest things in the world, whether you have known it for a long time or not. and setting up the MSSQL server, you need to learn that too if ur gonna want to host servers. It's not that damn difficult. Anyone that can't make do with what i just said is a LAZY ASS.

Happy New Year,

erm tHe Ip shd be our ip or?

well, for me it's not really making any difference. so use 127.0.0.1, and experiment around.

how to setup client?

the client? well u need a patch. I'm using LGKeiz's patch to connect to my server. I'm not going to release the link without his permission since it is his work.
