Odd crash

Alright,

I'm rather new to this. I started setting up a private server since yesterday and faced some small problems already which I managed to fix.

However, I faced a new one and I can't seem to fix it. Also, I've been looking around on these forums and searched for a solution but couldn't find one.

The problem is: I can manage to log in with an ID and password, then to select a server it all still works. However, when I selected the server, it should go to the next window for character creation. But instead of that, it just quits the game without any notice of an error. It just quits it all together.

My apologies if I missed a topic about this, but what could be a solution for this?

Thanks in advance.

It might be some error in your hotuk.
If you don't mind posting it here, I might be able to help.

P.S: from your explanation, I believe it's a error with Ip address in gameserver, but need to see your hotuk to confirm =D

Well, I'm not all too familiar with the whole Hotuk 'commands', I've mostly used what I found from others on these forums and I bet it's still full of mistakes. I'm for example still trying to figure out the EXP rate gain.

My Hotuk:

--------------------------------------

Also trying to figure out how to set normal and GM account s but I guess I'll figure out

PS: Managed to get it working, used a newer client version than server files, but downloaded an older one ^.^

Hm, the version xD
I think I've seen like 4 version of clients
3096(jpt), 2331(kpt), 1847(kptv2) and 1848(kptv2modded)
so you keep the version number in your hotuk the same as the client version...(and mod it in reg file and ldata...)

so, server 3096 goes with client 3096 and all the way...
some posts are a such a mess so you probably didn't check out the version when you downloaded the file^^

----------------------------------------------------------------------
to set up an GM account put the ID (created for that account in SQL) and then debug_ip for each id you put...
for example, in the hotuk shown triglow01 goes with 5.111.228.216, triglow02 goes with the next ip and so on

you can't login w/ admin client(it's the same as the user's client, but with a hotuk that grant you access to admin mode) without putting your GM id and ip in the hotuk. you'll get DC as soon as you login. (that's for version 2331 and 1847... in 3096 there is different clients for users and admins)

normal accounts are created at SQL, but use only the client, with no hotuk.

hope I've helped a lil... if u any problems with that mess I typed above, just ask =p

EDIT: the event exp_up should be at 100... 20 it's 1/5 the xp u put in the gameserver/monster files... because it's 1.00 =D

Great!

I managed to get all that working. Thanks a lot for your help. Would it be okay to ask away in PM's? I realize else this thread would de-rail a bit..

hmm if u still have an error then post it,

Ran into a new error. When a friend of mine tried to log into the server, she managed to get through the Character creation but after that the game just crashed for her and wasn't able to login anymore until I restarted the server ( And then it crashed again when doing -anything- on the world map )

Also, several commands appear to not work like summoning monsters or items ( after getting admin level 3) Can this be due to having jPT server files and doesn't recognize English? If so, are there any English server files?

hm
sure you can send me PMs but it would be better to the community if some odd problems had their solutions posted here.

hm that first problems may have like a hundred causes =x
-try checking your registry and ldata files, if they're with version ok...
- if your friend is trying to login as admin, you must grant access to him/her by adding his id and ip to your hotuk server.
-check if your friend has all the files needed to see that area... for example: trying to login in lost island without monster files =p
I don't recall anymore solutions for now...hope some1 here can help...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
english commands work fine for jpt server. it's weird you can't summon monsters and items after getting lvl 3 admin, I've never heard of something like that o.O

That's a good point you have there. I'm using that admin login myself that Renhunt posted in his/her thread. I also gave that one to my friend to log in ( Since I don't know what other file there could be used for that )

In other news, I also noticed I was using the first edition of jpt server files, just downloaded the newer ones but seems I need to set up a lot of stuff all over again.

About the commands. I got myself to level 3 as said before. Then I tried ~/@get WA101 or ~/@put WA101 ( Also tried some other items ) But none had any succes. Same with monsters..

ignacia, that trouble u describe with char creation is possible due incompatibility of versions, it used to happen lots of time ago. (if is exactly in creation character window), else if is getting a dc when reaching ricarten and not a crash, then the trouble is what was said and you need to add her ip to the *debug_id line, so too instead restart the server u could simple hit reload_server button on the menu, or /free_blackuser command (look for the proper syntaxis).

So im suggest u using kptserverv2 as server and try with kpt 2331 or kpt test 1847 for client. And yes certainly you need to make own setup with ice2, keveltzu (fire map), lost island and lost temple maps, too update your field & char folders for server & client, and set up the *version properly on hotuk.ini mainly.

in your configuration as posted...
*ADMIN_NAME "MyName"
*ADMIN_COMMAND "Hello1"
*ADMIN_COMMAND "Hello2"
*ADMIN_COMMAND "Hello3"

then you using an admin client (to make an admin client using the korean version, just need to put client hotuk.ini in same folder than client)

after loging type...
/;MyName Hello3

this is case sensitive, so if u handle to get the purple welcome message after that type then you are ok. (the ~ is not needed though)

just type the
/@get wa101
to get that stone axe

anyway you only can create the items that you have on the gameserver/item folder.

/monster & /mymonster are case sensitive with the monster name and if it have space on name u must enclosed in quotes ", and too if u havent translated their .zhoon files their name still in foreign language (hard to type them)

Alright, it's starting to work now. I managed to get the admin things working well and my friend can now log on safely and play. Thanks for the help there. I have no idea yet where to fetch those Ice2 maps etc. I suppose they hang around here somewhere on the forums. The item conjuring is also working for me.

The monster thing, no succes with it yet, I'll take your advice and fiddle around a bit with that.

Thanks a lot for the help ^.^

you can download the kpt test and copy/paste the folders field & char to both server & client , effects and image all files that are not .msg to client only, the .msg files need be translated from korean to english or whatever ur language.

for other server map files .spc -> field specification file, copy ice1, hopyland or whatever u like and put the name of the main .ase/.smd files from field, so there hopyland -> forest.smd would need a file forest.ase.spc, so ice2 -> ice_2.smd need a file ice_2.ase.spc and so ... ez to create, the name of the monsters on .spc files is the same than korean name of mobs in .ini

if she cant login again just go to file reload config
it happens if you are useing a server and running game on same comp will do some lag .

Yes, take the Map u want from a client and put in server/field folder... then you need the ase's to put in server/gameserver/field folder...

and abt the monsters, have you tried, for example: ~/monster "Skeleton Archer" ?? always remember to copy the name from gameserver/monster/name folder... if the monster has two words you must use those quotation marks :~~
