[Guide][Any Files] Server Setup | FAQ | Troubleshooting Guide

Server Setup Guide

There are a few server setup guides around but some are badly worded or outdated so I got bored and decided to make this. This will be revised and updated as time moves on to accommodate for new features and files. I would like to thank Redhunt for a lot of the pictures used in this guide.

Right off the bat I would suggest not running a PT server for the public on anything under 2GB of ram, a 100mbit line and a 3Ghz+ Processor and Windows Server 2003 (Dedicated Hosting is the best idea) along with a good understanding of how PT works.

Downloading Needed Files

1.) Download and install WinRar.
(Used for unzipping most of the server files)

2.) Download MsSQL 2005 Express Edition
(SQL is used to store a lot of the player data, mainly clan information and login information)

3.) Download MsSQL Server Managment Studio
(Used to manipulate SQL much easier.)

4.) If your running the server off of Windows XP ensure you have .NET Framework 2.0 installed.

5.) Download any of the the files under the ---[Server Files]--- section in the RFT Thread, I would suggest the McMadness Repack or the 1855 Server & Client. I might pack a couple sets of pre-configured server files with different rates later on.
(The in fact server software used for players to login and play, etc etc)

6.) Download the [strike]PT SQL Scripts[/strike]. Attachment 105504

7.) Download the clan files from the RFT Thread under the ---[Clan Files]--- section, I would suggest the Sandurr 2.0 Files *Help topic here* or *HappHardcore's General Clan Troubleshooting Guide*
(Only if you plan on having working clans)

Installing of SQL & Manager

6.) Start the install for the MsSQL Server 2005 Express Edition, continue pressing the next button until you reach the Features screen.

7.) Click Client Components like in this picture and select "Entire Feature will be installed on local hard drive"

8.) Continue pressing next until the screen prompting you to decide between "SQL Server Authentication" or "Windows Authentication".

9.) Choose SQL Server Authentication and choose a good password and right it down you will need to know this password later.

10.) Continue pressing next until the installer is finished.

11. Find the MsSQL Server Managment Studio installer you downloaded earlier. Just press next until the installer is done, no need to change any settings.

Setting Up SQL Database

12.) Go to your start menu and run SQL Server Management.
( Start > All Programs >Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > SQL Server Management Studio Express)

13.) You should arrive at this screen, don't touch the login name. Enter the password from step 9 created while installing SQL. Press connect and you'll arrive at this screen.

14.) Unzip (right click, extract to folder) the PT SQL Files to any folder.

15.) Click the expand tab "+" next to Databases, right click Database and select "Create New Database" the names of all 11 Databases are the same names as the PT SQL Files names. List:

Account_DB
AccountDB
BillingDB
BillingLogDB
ClanDb
GamelogDb
ItemLogDb
PCRoom
SoD2Db
SoDDb

It should look like this when done.

16.) After finished making all of the Databases (DB's) go back and right click Account_DB and select "New Query" like this, once that is done open up the coresspending named Text file from the PT SQL Files folder.

17.) Copy and paste the entire text files contents into the Query window and press "! Execute"

18.) Repeat steps 16 & 17 for all 11 Database's. When it asks you to save for all of the query's you can either pick yes or no, it makes no difference.

19.) When done check back on your DB's to make sure when expanded they look like t his.

Setting up ODBC or SQL.dll

This step is a little optional because you have a choice, either use ODBC or setup the SQL.dll properly, for this guide I will list the ODBC method, for the SQL.dll method I might make a guide later on, or look around the forums for it (Searching never hurt anyone)

20.) Click Start > Programs > Accessories > Administrative Tools > (ODBC)Data Source. (Administrative Tools can also be reached via the Control Panel)

21.) Choose the "DSN System" tab and then proceed to click "Add", scroll down to the very bottom and pick "SQL Server" and then finish.

22.) After finish is pressed a window should pop up asking for: Name, Description and SQL Server Name.

Name: c8master

Description: Whatever you want.

Name: The name of your SQL Server Instance (Should look like XXXXX\SQLEXPRESS)
(If you forget just open your Studio Manager and look at the server name)

23.) Click next twice until you reach this screen, change the default Database to AccountDB (Not Account_DB theres a difference) and click next until done.

Connecting to Your Server

24.) Create a registry file using this code (Use notepad):

Code:

---

                              Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Triglow Pictures]
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Triglow Pictures\PristonTale]
"Version"="3096"
"Account"=""
"CameraInvert"="false"
"CameraSight"="OFF"
"ColorBPP"="32"
"Graphic"="1"
"MicOption"="OFF"
"MotionBlur"="false"
"Network"="1"
"ScreenSize"="0"
"Server1"="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"<---your IP here
"Server2"="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"<---your IP here
"Server3"="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"<---your IP here
"ServerName"="Server Name"
"Sound"="On"

---

Make sure you change the IPs to your Lan/Wan IPs or the local host IP (127.0.0.1)

25.) Create a .bmp using this code (Use notepad to edit it)

Credits and Thanks

QuantumFusion - Great guy, helped me so much when I didn't know what the hell I was doing, also releases so many things to help the community. # 1 in my book.

Teletaro - Turned into a behind the scenes guy, but if there are big breakthroughs its pretty much guaranteed that Teletaro helped on it.

Shagpub - Another behind the scenes guy, but releases his work when he can, helps the community a tremendous amount.

Operz - Helps a lot when he can, tries to help make people help themselves which is what they SHOULD do.

Sandurr - Helps in the form of cryptic vague clues, but still has a lot of his stuff floating around. No one tends to give him credit for anything.

HappyHardcore - Still helped a lot prior to mod-dome, and I'm sure he'll do a great job now that he has the power to enforce rules around here.

Well sorry to anyone who felt they should have been included but a thank you is in order to the RaGEZONE community in general, no other place like this!

Ehm, I dont wanna sound annoying or something..
And your guide is super! But..
I can't login to Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.
When I open up the program, and I do NOT touch the login name (Like it is written in guide) And click ''Authentication:'' and choose ''SQL Server Autenthication''
And press in ''Server Name'' , ShadowPT and Write in ''Password''-field my password ( I know it is really good one, and it is the same as step 9) and type in ''Login'' , sa
Then it says this:

Code:

---

Cannot connect to ShadowPT.
Additional information:
An error has occurred while establishing a new connection to the server. When connecting to SQL server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings
SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Couldt not open a connection to SQL server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:53)

---

I hope someone of you nice guys can help me out with my problem, and let me make my own server. Thanks alot.
And thanks alot for making this guilde, its awesome!

ShadowPT\SQLEXPRESS would be the full database name.

plzzz help me i dont found the Client folder plzz tell me where i can find it i have been download renhunt server filles and i dont found client folder in it
plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help

The client folder is any PT game client + the game.exe for your version.

:lol_1: ok tnx for the help man you the best

can you make a tutorial onto how to setup SOD Crown for Sandur Clan 2.0 please?

There's a post in the Sandurr Clan 2.0 threads by Shagpub saying how to do it.

sik wat client i start the game with one of the jpt ones
??????????????????????

A 3096,3098 or 3100 client.

Ehm sik, u told me that if I press in servername-field this: ShadowPT\SQLEXPRESS that it'll work, but it doesnt. It gives another error.
Look, here a screenshot:
http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g40/deead/fucck.png
I really know for sure the password is good, I really know.
But i dont know whats the problem, I hope you know what the problem is.

Did you NAME your SQL database ShadowPT while installing?

Omfg, i tougth this was a great tutorial.
I do evrything what you say and 2 days later you say that i need to name something.
Sorry, but that doesnt says in your tut. :sq_yellow

Well yes you have to name your sql server something on install....quick question did you in fact install SQL or just the SQL Manager?

I installed SQLExpress and Manager

Can you explain how to name it? would be very handy

turn on Remote connections and use 127.0.0.1 to connect to your sql server (already said how to do - follow this link )

You name the SQL server during installation.

Nothing happens when i double click 4096.exe
What should i do?

Use more updated server files.

Sik, i tried following your guide but i'm missing something and i can't connect to the server... I'm trying to play with 2-3 people, but to test the server i tried using the jpadminclient. I'll explain everything i did...

First I downloaded the ept v3100 and installed, than got the jpt server files (the McMadness repack is for kpt, right?). Then I setup the sql manager and put a user: http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/6359/sql1nf7.jpg, http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/5685/sql2zr7.jpg.

After that i setup the odbc: http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/7342/bdbl1.jpg.

Then i copied the char and field to the server folder. To see my ip: http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/103/iped7.jpg , then used the hotuk you post, changing the ips and used dPT as the server name:

After that, i changed my lData and the registry: http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/4751/registrofr7.jpg

[code]A8ת $1@Q

Remove those // from *GAMESERVER, that is a required command line.

Removed, but still can't connect...

After I try to connect sometimes, the RecvMsg changes in the server changes, like this:
http://img476.imageshack.us/img476/9325/server2kv9.jpg

Does it indicates something?

It means the server is atleast reading you, remove these:
*LOGIN_SERVER_IP 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.100
*SERVER_LINK_IP 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.100

and you may have to try two *GAMESERVERS with one including the localhost (127.0.0.1).

Removed the login_server and server_link and tried adding the gameserver 127.0.0.1 (tried as beta, as alpha and both as alpha), but still didn't connect... After i removed the login_server and server_link, the RecvMsg didn't changed anymore (it was always 0, and i think this must be bad). Any ideas?

Do you have the SQL.dll in your server folder?

Nope

http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/9445/regispicvk1.png

Did i do it correctly?

and i got this gameguard error 153..

5.16.197.22? Thats a hamachi IP, if the server is histed on your computer then use the IP 127.0.0.1

Still gameguard error 153.
what should i use to launch PT?

Use the client but click cancel on the gameguard updater (Delete your gameguard folder and gameguard.des to)

Oh wow ur great ^^

btw, do i have to open up ports if im playing it myself?

That depends, you are too vague. Is your server at your house? If so is it on your computer? Is the server on a computer on your lan network? You need not to open ports, burt make sure that you are using your LAN ip to connect to it if it is LAN based server.

If it's acknowledging a received message that must mean you maybe have the CL codes activated or version lock.

in SQL manager i dont have a login, where do i gain it back?

what lines to target inorder to remove gameguard from a version of KPT 2331 so it can be used with a debugger tool..

I'm not sure if its posted around here, but I know the general process is posted over in the R.O.S.E section.

hey SiK its me im back :D

....ok?

@SiK and everybody
Please help me, what are the spec. command lines in the Item file can be the red lines from the attachment image?

Sorry missed the attachment file

Not a clue, would have to ask the owner and/or dev of whatever server that came from.

Can i request a guide on how to edit boss spawn and time? I know it somewhere on this forum, but the search function isn't working well...

Go into a maps .SPC/.SPM file and near the bottom will be a series of numbers along with 2 monster names in Japanese. The numbers are the spawn times and the first name is the boss and the second name are the minions (monsters that spawn with the boss). You really have to play around with it since the spawning algorithm seems to adjust itself as it pleases.

So it means i can use the normal english pt for my own pt server ?
thanks ;)

If you use the old jPT files you could.

wich icon i have to press to open the game ? i've put that icon ''XPT1855'' in the jPT server files. then i pressed that icon but it only gives me that Hotuk Gameserver [PT_Japanese]( its that head from a Cat) and a error. i dunno how to open the game ?? can u help me ?
Thanks =D

Then your system is either inadequate to run the server, or your doing something wrong.

i got 2gb speed, 320gb harddisk, 100mbit line only i got now indows server, but i use SQL server 2005.. i can open my server, and i can shutdown it too, but i cant find a password to log in the game. (McMadness i use now) and do i have to unzip the files from McMadness in my triglowpictures (standard PT) folder ?

now what password are you meaning? are you meaning a password to your account? or the password to log in as GM?

i need all 2 the passwords, but GM password is importanter now. can you tell me where i can find it ?,
thnaks =D

The password to log in game? You need to use a register script or manual make an account and password in the SQL Account_DB.

:glare: Im using mysqlyog, my problem is, i cant import the files into my databases, it gives an error. what did i do wrong?

Your trying to use MySQL and the server and DB's are based on MsSQL. You could try converting, but I dunno how that would go.

ok btw you know which settings are very important to let others play on my server(could you explain them) and how can i use ODBC?

External IP settings in the Hotuk, ODBC setup correctly and ports for your server version open. (10003,10007 or 10009)

i dont talk as much as i do , and i did alot ,, Guides 10000% correct , ports opened , ODBC , SQL 2000 , Hotuk.ini , Clients , Admin Clients , SQL.dll's , ldata.bmp ... there is nothing i forget ... my computer is Core 2 Duo , 2GB Dual Rams , 320GB , 2GB Graphics and my line is Excelent...

i accept any charity :D

I Installed EPT 3102, but i cant run game.exe because it gives an error, i tried with other game.exes, but it keeps saying "unable to connect" :wacko: im using renhunt's server files, maybe McMadness server repack would help? how should my Private server folder look like and how should my pristontale folder (to play with) folder look like?

and how can i be an admin and make my friends gm?

and you know if my settings are right?

It would be awesome if you guys could help me.

You can't connect with a default ePT client, you need a 1840 - 1862 client. Also remove these lines;
*LOGIN_SERVER_IP 83.116.212.252 83.116.212.252 83.116.212.252
*SERVER_LINK_IP 83.116.212.252 83.116.212.252 83.116.212.252

I would try the 1859 client released by Shagpub.

ok thanks man, you think the other things are okay?

hey i downloaded the rPT custom client, but when i place it in EPT V3102, it gives an xtrap error. do i have to place the custom client and hotuk.ini somewhere else to play on my own server?

Thanks

You need to get the Xtrap files out of a current servers patch, or find them somewhere.

SiK, i set all settings to 127.0.0.1, everything is okay i think, im using rpt's game.exe and kpt admin client, but when i want to log in in rpt's game.exe, it shows rpt's servers, and when i want to use kpt admin client, it fucking crashes? :cry: i use 3100 EPT

So i have to put my PTserver file, in a current PT file like ePT, then put all the things what u can find in McMadness, put them all in ePT, then change the hotuk,, make an accountant in ur hotuk.ini, then put ur server on, and press the ePT.exe to start game, login with the acc u made in the hotuk (Admin) and then ur in ur own server ?
Thanks =D

@ xpurex, Are you using the rPT Game.exe straight out of their patch?

@ Timb16, No. To avoid confusion your client folder and server folder should be completely separate

I tried to use the rpt from the official rpt site, editted Idata, Hotuk and Register, launched Sql, launched the server, but when i want to login, it shows the official rpt servers.

I bet i use the wrong files, but could you explain which ones to download and where to place them? it would help me alot, because im new here ^^

You can't use rPT's .exe, its safeguarded.
http://forum.ragezone.com/f286/relea...ersion-255859/
Try one of these exe ^

so just place the files you posted in a fresh EPT3102, and play? which version should it be then? and could you please make the right Idata, hotuk and registery for me? my ip is 83.116.212.252, but 127.0.0.1 would be okay too :smile: And do i need anything else besides EPT3102 and rpt files?

Thanks again :nosweat:

Your best bet would be to take a ePT,kPT or jPT client, patch it with servers patch (I would avoid rPT's, to many custom things) throw in one of those exe. Start up the server and connect. (Ensuring you have 127.0.0.1 in your registry, idata and hotuk if your playing by yourself)

Hey SiK could you help me for the last time?

could you tell me exactly which downloads i need? If you could give me the links of everything i need, it would be awesome. I already have EPT3100, and i'd like to use an admin client.

Thanks

SiK are you there?

Everything needed is already gathered into one topic: http://forum.ragezone.com/f286/resou...ad-rft-242297/

Sik, could look at my SQL Server Configuration Manager picture? my friend says its a must. Do the IP1, IP2 and IP3 stand for the same ip lines in the .reg file? and if i would make them all 127.0.0.1, i would be able to play on my own server using EPT3100 and XPT server files+Madness repack or JPT server? My WhatIsMyIP.com - 208.116.34.18 ip adress is
83.116.212.252, and when i want to connect to my router, my router ip is 10.0.0.138
You know what to put in IP1, IP2 and IP3?
Please answer asap, Thanks

If your just playing by yourself you could use the Localhost (127.0.0.1) address.

Do i have to full in any ports like 10007, 10003 and 10009 which i port forwarded?

Thanks for helping me so much man :)

Sik are you there?

For the newest server files you'll need to forward port 10009.

thank you SO MUCH!

I'm nearly done with the server man! :jester:

hi... i got a problem and is when i open the server " i doble click on the icon 4096 and work good them i doble click in KPTServerV2 is give me a error the error number is 10048 and the las 2 KPT1847_unpacking another error and say "this application has failed to star becouse npkcrpt.dll was no found plz help me thx...

Those two are separate server clients, running both of them is not required or advised. The missing Npkcrypt.dll problem is caused by trying to run the client outside of the client folder.

so what do i need to open ?? :S

Only 1 server client.

can u repost a link for the PT SQL scripts its expired i think.

Can we use anyother sql program other than the ones you've specified?

You could also use SQL 2000, but it requires slight modification's to get it to work.

what does press "! Execute" mean...?

The execute button in the top of the SQL express tray.

k, and what type of file do i save the registry as and what do i name the .bmp?

The registry file extension is .reg and the bmp should be saved as idata.bmp

The .bmp file name should be Ldata not idata?

hi... i'm using kpt and i try you guide with the "McMadness_Repack" the guide of rehunt with jpt and no ono had work... that's server works with PristonTale(full_2336) i downloaded that from official kpt server...

the server is running.. but i can't connect him when i enter the jptclient_A.exe apper the XTrap window.. =[

help plz
sry for the bad english ^^

wow maury, im having a hard time trying to the right clients for PT either for jPT, kPT and what not lol...

anywhoo, i dont under the jPT and the kPT Client-Server Matching thing,
May you Clarify this abit?

is it like, using J server files with jPT Client or K Server files with kPT Client?

Do not bother with jPT file. At this point if anything use the BNF Repack or McMadness repack to setup a server with Shagpub's 1859 or Operz (PyePT's) 1862 clients.

Fixed

When i try to execute the content within "gamelobdb.txt" in MSSMSE 2k5, I get this:

Msg 2775, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
The code page 949 is not supported by the server.

with the idata.bmp after i save the boxes turn in to "?" is that okay?

The boxes?

I cant get this right, tried for several hours and the only sane thing would be to give up. I think I have tried everything. Using both McMaddness and BNF repack server packages. Tried to use both ept 3096 and kpt 2336 clients, fixed regestry, idata and hotuk and used PyePT Client 1862,also added accounts in database, still cant connect to my own server..lol.

well back to CelesPT I guess..
