Snowmans Guide *Still Under Development

Complete guide to setting up cabal server
By Kyle

* All the Rapidshare links in this guide were made by me, and i researched and found all the other Official links so i give credits to this guide 100% to me. Please dont leech.

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

Required items:

* A computer - Vista or XP installed on the HDD
* Internet connection
* A brain
* And the ability to read
* Google skills to google stuff on Step B instruction 3.
* And in Step D Instruction 24 where it says Jimmy, You can name it ANYTHING if u want.
* Knowing how to use http://www.rapidshare.co.in/index.php to get what u need faster.

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

Step A: Installing Centos and VMware on your pc.


1. First we need to get VMware so download it here:

Code:

---

http://store.vmware.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayPage&Env=BASE&Locale=en_US&SiteID=vmware&id=ProductDetailsPage&productID=82671800

---

2. Create a Folder in your C:\ named VMware

3. extract the Desktop rars to that folder you just made

3.5. Install this VMware to your PC

Code:

---

http://www.vmware.com/downloads/eula.do

---

4. Download Centos 5.1 torrent, and then Extract it to the VMware folder you made.

Code:

---

http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/

---

5. Open VMware and click Open then locate your VMware/centos folder on your harddrive and open the centos file you see.

6. Now let it install Centos, if it asks for Root password put "thoughtpolice" without the "s. Once Centos is installed you will come to a log in screen. Type Root. Push enter. Type thoughtpolice. Push enter, and bam logged in.

Done with First Step, Now to move on.

Step B: Downloading and Extracting the Cabal files to your Centos Desktop

1. Ok now on your Centos VMware (im going to call it linux pc) open the web browser

2. Now in the webbrowsers url address bar type this

Code:

---

http://rapidshare.com/files/125780332/cabal.zip.html

---

3. Click Go and then save it to your desktop, Now your going to have to dl a unzipper for your linux pc so you can unzip it. I have seemed to lost the .exe installer on my linux pc so your going to have to get on your linux pc and open the web browser and google stuff like "Centos unzip program download" and when you find one install and then your ready for the next instruction.

4. Extract Cabal.zip to your centos Desktop.

Done with Step B. Time to move on to Step C.

Step C: Downloading and installing MSsql 2000 or 2005 to your pc.

1. Download Microsoft SQL server 2005 Express edition, The link is below.

Code:

---

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=65212

---

2. Download SQL Server management Studio express, The link is below.

Code:

---

3. Install Microsoft SQL server 2005 Express edition.

4. Install SQL server management studio express.

*please note: if you are having problems installing or running that program, install this : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Done with Step C. Time for the fun part.

Step D: Extracting the DB

1. On your Windows Pc, Make a folder in your harddrive named (Private server data).

2. Download and extract this to that folder.

Code:

---

http://rapidshare.com/files/125784122/db.rar.html

---

3. Now open up SQL management studio express (Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL server 2005 > SQL server management studio express)

4. Click Connect.

5. Now on the Left side of Microsoft SQL Server management Studio Express will be a folder named Databases. Double Click that.

6. Now you will see System Databases in the big part of the middle of the program.

7. Right click under System databases, anywhere in the white, and select New Database.

8. Name it Cabal, and click Ok.

9. Now right click under your newly created database called Cabal, and click New Database.

10. Name this one Cabalcash, and click ok.

11. Now right click under your newly created database called Cabalcash, and click New Database.

12. Name this one GameDB, and click Ok.

13. Now right click GameDB, Click Tasks, Click restore, click database...

14. Now where you see Source for restore section, Click from device then click the ... button.

15. Now click Add. Then navigate to C:\Private Server Data\Db\Gamedb (If you can see it click the Files type, select All Files)

16. Click Ok, Now you will see it in the box, Check the box, Then up in the top left under General click Options. Click Overwrite DB. Click Ok, Let it extract.

17. Now Right click Databases and Select Attach...

18. Click Add, navigate to your C:\Private Server Data\db\

19. Click Account_data.MDF (Click options and change the C:\Microsoft blah blah blah to C:\Private Server Data\DB\account )

20. Click Ok

21. Now Repeat steps 17, 18, 19, 20 for Cabal_managerdb_data.mdf, Cabal_Stat_Data.mdf, cabalcash_data.mdf, and Event.mdf.

22. Next Under the Security Folder Right Click Logins.

23. Click New Login.

24. Now as the log in name type "Jimmy" without "s. Next Click SQL authentication, Type in any pass you wish and you will see three boxes under the passwords, uncheck them all going from bottom to top. Next in the top left click Server Roles. Click sysadmin. Now in the top left click User mapping. Then check all the boxes for = Account, Cabalcash, Cabal_Strat, Event, GameDB, Cabal_managerdb. Now click Ok. (note: if you are having problems with the Cabal already made thing message, just put your first name instead of Cabal as the log in name.)

25. Now download this and extract to your private server data folder on your hard drive.

Code:

///// Server Config still under Development. \\\\\

More will be added. I hope the first part helps.

Still Under Development.

If you see any errors please tell me ill fix.

why rapidshare =/

gonna use it thanks, but gonna take awhile to dl heh

Im rebeaming the VMware as we speak. Links will be ready soon.

okay thanks~


V okay.

Nope only ones i trust with a good network. You can get viruses on Bluehost. 2 hours till the VMware is rebeamed

Thanks a lot Thesnowman. Hope you can complete the guide ASAP for how to configure cabal in CentOS. How to connect from both server and etc..

Anyway, nice job and thanks a lot.

Thanks for your guide.

It's posibble to run the db with MYSQL since the server file in Linux?

Uh, you have no logic? Why do the users REQUIRE windows on the hdd, when they are just going to install linux onto a virtual machine, why not just use linux all together?

I'm stucked on 'Linked servers' part. Sad :(

Maybe u can add in pictures for easy to understand xD

Please upload all files to my ftp server.

• FTP Username: cabal@legend-network.ro
• Password: cabal
• FTP Server: ftp.legend-network.ro

Tanks.

Here are some problems i face .
1] Rapidshare sucks and the premium generator says im a leecher ?
2] I have not tried out the guide but i think it is understable .
3] Upload ur files to mediafire or etc ?
4] Talking about VMware , why is there so many desktop parts.rar ?
5] With reference to 4] , do i google VMware or download the desktop ?

Code:
http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/
Went to Vmware and downloaded VMware-server-installer-1.0.5-80187
centos 5.1 torrent/web download is too long .

---

yep centos torrent i've downloaded:D
I downloaded at 100 kb/sec :( in 3 hours :)

YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD VmWare player , VmWare Workstation and other things ,

OR just download all .part archives;)

So if i just download all the parts ?
I dont have to download http://www.vmware.com/downloads/eula.do ?
0kay thanks

Very good man.
But i think you realy should make some Screenshots.. ( not that i need ) but for avoid some floods from people without a brain :PpP

Good luck, and keep it up.

it will work with any red hat 4+ based os, like SuSE, CentOS, Fedora and other i dont know, on ubuntu dont work by only unique reason hes dont have rpm installer but u will convert rpm to deb package.

This is really nice. I'll be following this guide to have my own server at home. THanks for this one

Guys im not going to take the time to make pics. Its already Simple enough. I even describe what to click and when, AND WHAT TO SELECT.

There are alot of desktops parts because rapidshare only allows 100mb files. Sorry. 2 im not uploading anywhere else, my bandwith is shot... now and its the 4th.. Woo hoo thats what 26 days of lag?

sir i have a problem when i start the server it always say permisiion denied.

If you can't follow this guide, don't even bother trying to set up a server. Playing with Linux is not something that inexperienced PC users should be dealing with, much less preteens that want to set up their own MMO server, yet have no idea how to even properly maintain their own PC.

You guys need to start solving your problems through the trial and error process. You'll never learn anything otherwise.

I should have watched my mouth and not said/talked shit to DeadlyData telling him things like your are not welcome here because then I become the one who is truly not welcome here.

VMware Authorization Service is not running?

or something like that :S how to run it :D?

best combination for me was

Client KR + All KR updates + DarkxL Login Patch + Snaity Patch + D1sconnect Correct(Script_Msg) [Type Your CentOS Ip In Data\internal.txt and in serverlist.txt, and start Game By cabal.exe(luncher)]

credits to kapa22

k thanks, the thing is I am trying to install centOS on vmware but the centOS i download was .iso files so it doesnt open it.

grrrrr..............................hate this :/

Nevermind I got it, Using the video guide.

link for CentOS 5.1: http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.1/isos/i386/

all ok and ty snow :)) ty too for xz3r0x for cabal setup :)

@Edit: xz3r0x this file setup, updates and patchlogin is for windows? or only for linux?:)

hey snowman help me out a bit... i can't connect to server... i made everything allright server working.. i'm confused a bit at ODBC. . do i have to put the vm's ip or my ip ... i turned off my firewall but when i try connect i keep getting try again later ... i dun even get to the channels... what could be wrong???

if you use sql 2005, you can't set in ip at odbc.ini for connect database, you must use name, like sqlserver/yourcomname, not use ip cause you can't sql2005 not know your ip....

i sugest u link up a full version of the linux to yr tutorial , the one u provided lacks lot`s of libs and kernel utils and with the time u loose adding each and every1 yr better off getting the full version of it.

i have question... any1 can make for me servers??

because i dont know how to make... the all tut here is too hard for me :(

But if u cAnt why do u want some1 to make it for u??


starting a big one eh??:flag_schw

Some people simply can't set up a server as they don't understand what they are doing, yet think if somebody else does it for them they will somehow be able to run the server and do all of their own configuration changes and mods. Yes the tuts are hard, but that is because what you are trying to do is hard and unless you have some basic knowledge to start with you don't stand a chance.

Even if somebody did do it for them that person would then have to solve every problem for them, make every minor config change and would end up doing literally everything for them and so you won't get any offers there.

Think of the install process as a test. If you can't make it work then you are simply not skilled enough to be running a private server. This stuff is for those that know what they are doing, it isn't something that just anyone can do.

Hey poster, make its done man, we need now to take a knowledge about the cabal files into the CentOS
Thanks for your sharing

Snowman hasn't been around for a while, this guide was never finished and probably never will be. Use Mahis video guide or my ones (in the release section) as they both cover everything needeed for a working server.

i've done all the steps but now i don't know how to set up the server...
i've unzipped the cabal.zip to my suse 10( centos 5.1 didn't work don't know why and i've read that suse is also working ). created the database and somehow i have to connect to the server but how? i have to install the english cabal client to my xp and what about the patch login and gm tool? can someone help me please?

That is far too much to put into one post when the guides already cover those steps. I know full well my guides cover connecting to the server and you can just use the GP cabal or TFN cabal clients instead of making your own.

Close this thread please i have the same guide but in video format. Im finishing the guide in a few days once i figure out my WinSCP problem.

Keep on going! Nice guide

1st-nice guide rly good guide
2nd- when is the video gonna come ??

Im really confused with the first part.
You got to BUY it?!?!
Thesnowman can you make the first part with the link little bit more helpful please =)
Because i can't find the download for it =S

Or if anyone alse knows can you send me link? really need it so i can make my own server =DD
Thank you

Recommend to you see the Video Guides (in Text\Pic Guides is hard)

Maxgo i disagree your videos might be high quality but there are sevral problems:
1)On a smaller screen the insturctions are unreadable
2)The video just keeps going puaseing it and rewinding it gives quite a headache.
So id reather use a written guide without pictures.

I like a healthy balance of pictures and written instructions as not everybody can read English (or whatever language) but pictures always make sense. The important thing is the guide must be written by somebody who actually knows what they are doing :P

Translation from chumpy`s post: "My guide is the best, don`t bother reading other`s :):"
Till now chumpywumpy has the best guides, best releases and offers the coolest support you`ll ever get =>> chumpy is the best , you gotta admit it.

got question:-

1.i dun understand the File>New>Database Query but mine File>New>Database Engine Query and when i press Database Engine Query it go like Login One...Can U Help??i Use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005(The One U post)
2.When Does The Guide Will Be Continued??i Wait for so long...

this is a old project and didn`t got to be "continued".. use chumpy`s repack.

Dont use his guide man.. snowman is long time dead.......................

He hasnt posted video untill now................ its been an year almost......... LOL.

this was quite easy.

did all of it.

now all i need is client and patch to see if it runs and im set >< pray to raptorjesus it does

your instuctions were absolutely terrible
you end up having 2 CabalCash attached (i removed one using common sense that the empty one wont do shit)

will post again if it works.

HMHM,

Step D

4. Click Connect

I got this window:

Yeah, may take a while but here's a little tip ( for those who dont know! ).

If you have ADSL modem/router, you can do the following to allow you to download files one after the other with no wait time in RapidShare:

First, download files until it says wait 16 minutes or something like that.
Then, disconnect your internet ( restart your ADSL router/modem ) and this will allow you to download again without the wait!

Or

Renew your IP address ( Windows XP: 'cmd prompt', type: 'ipconfig /renew'.

Rapidshare keeps note on your IP so, limited file downloads per IP. But if that IP changes, then it starts over fresh!

Enjoy!

hmmmm nice , how long takes you to complete it ?

Neither this guide or the previous one got finished. I would suggest using other guides.

this guide is old now i declare it as unsupported. Moving out of tutorial section and closing it.
