1.00.16 GS Freeze & Crash FIX

Here's what we've found...
We are talking about the 1.00.16 GS (Season 3 Episode 1 files)!


1. Fixing the GS Freeze

1st of all, the GS freezes (stopes processing and players get disconnected) for about 10 minutes and then gets ok again... That's happening becouse of the logs, which the GS writes to the log files very fast, every one sec! Imagine 100 players leveling up, droping items, killing mobs or warping at the same time! The logs get to gigabytes and the GS freezes...

So, the fix:
* Backup the GameServer.exe, in case u fuck up something ^^
* Open up the original GameServer.exe with any Hex Editor
* Find all of those in ASCII search:

Code:

---

"Monster Item Drop"
"Item has disappeared"
"Experience"
"dur:"

---

*If u can't find some of them, don't worry, just remove the strings that u find! ;]*

* In the hex values change everything to '00' values (empty), even the %d , %s and the others... till u get to the already empty spaces ('00' values')!
Note, that the %d , %s.... are the pointers (C++) set to navigate to 'character name' 'exp' 'item serial' 'account', etc...
* Save the new GameServer.exe

That's it! Now your GS wont freeze anymore... (Still there are some logs, like the hacking logs, don't remove them, u need them! ;) )


2. Fixing the GS Crashes

GameServer.exe crashes often, not in some time, that's becouse some of the new Season3 NPCs are bugged (not 100% coded), so when somebody clicks on them (they are in devias, original MSB), the GS Crashes... The other thing, that GS Crashes from, is the 'Wizard's Ring' !

So, the fix:
* Backup MSB (MonsterSetBase.txt) , Items.txt and EventManagement.dat
* Open up MSB
The 1st codes of every spawn is the monster / NPC code, which u can find in Monster.txt, so the Season 3 NPCs Codes are:

Code:

---

380 ; 381 ; 382 ; 383 ; 384 ; 385 ; 404 ; 405 ; 406 ; 407 ; 408 ; 414 ; 372 ; 231 ; 236 (Golden Archer is bugged too...) ; 252 ; 258 ; 259 ; 373 ; 374 ; 375 ; 376 ; 377 ; 378 and 379

---

Find those numbers (they must be the 1st ones in the strings), and remove the whole strings, beggining with those numbers...
When done, save the new MSB and close it!

* Open up Items.txt
Find "Wizards Ring" , and the number, wright after the name of the item (the drop code) u must change to '0' or '500' (so it wont drop from monsters!) Save and close the file...
* Open EventManagement.dat
Remove the whole text in it, delete all things and paste the new strings:

Code:

---

//---------------------------------------------
//
//---------------------------------------------
// EVENTOS:
//        0 = Invasion de Dragones Rojos
//        1 = Skeleton King Invasion
//        2 = Golden Invasion
//        3 = White Wizard Invasion
//---------------------------------------------

//    Event    Hour    Minutes
0

    // Golden Dragon
    2    0    0
    2    1    0
    2    2    0
    2    3    0
    2    4    0
    2    5    0
    2    6    0
    2    7    0
    2    8    0
    2    9    0
    2    10    0
    2    11    0
    2    12    0
    2    13    0
    2    14    0
    2    15    0
    2    16    0
    2    17    0
    2    18    0
    2    19    0
    2    20    0
    2    21    0
    2    22    0
    2    23    0
end

We have just remove the Event, from which falls the "Wizzards Ring"! So, save and close the new file...


The New Files:

Ok, here are the new files ;]
Restoring of the DB:
The new 'MuOnline' DB is in 'DBAutoBackUp' folder, just restore it ;)
The rest DBs (MuOnline_Event & Ranking) are in 'DB Backs' folder!

The rest parts of the setup are the same :)
GS will give ya an error about the MSB (cuz there are too much spawns), but it's not a problem, u can fix that if u want, just remove the spawns, that u don't need...
Don't change '127.0.0.1' (localhost IPs anywhere...), just the '85.130.34.99' with your IP ( http://whatismyip.com ) ^^

Note, that GS Crash is 100% fixed (unless there is a problem in your OS, like the kernel or some viruses, like Win32.PariteA , B or C)! I use XP SP2, it's tested on all Windows XP OSs!
About the GS Freeze -> i don't have it any more... And those are the same files as mine, so u shouldn't have that prob too!

That's all, now your GS wont crash! Note, that i host my server 4 weeks and there are no crashes...!

bro, my connection is through LAN, i have 1 MUServer offline connected to 10 Clients (On a computer shop)... so i guess there's no problem with the connection.... when it comes to graphic adapters i also meet the recommended specs...

this is what i found out, it only lags when im near a Non-Playing Character or if im near the portal or gate of every map.... any solution to that?

thanks... hope someone could explain this...

@ WINWORD

are you using season3 episode 2?

Nice men i'm going to test this gameserver...
tell me what gameserver can i run, gameserver.exe or gameserverBU.exe??
i think gameserver.exe because it haven't got "Monster Item Drop ", "Experience", "Dur:", etc...

Ah.. and another think, LordCoders.ini DONT WORK BECAUSE THE NAME IN THE GAMESERVER.EXE IS LORDSCODERS.INI, so, agree one S en LordCoders.ini... (LordsCoders.ini)

Sorry my english isn't good because i'am from Argentina.

can i run your server with my MuOnline db? (my db from Luchiano beta 41)

U'll have some problems :(
1st: GS Crashes, when somebody has WizardsRing (so if somebody already has it in your DB... :( )
2nd: I have fixed the Guild Points here ('-' Bug Fixed)
3rd: The disconnection problem (not 100% sure, cuz it's from JS too...)

ok..... if i delete all WizardsRing and Destroy All guild it would be work ?

Hmm.. could be from the AntiVirus, for example NOD32 sometimes shows that mu.dll is infected with some Win32 viruses, but it's actualy an unpacked dll and that's why!
In this case, the gameserver.dll is unpacked and there is no cirus, just terminate your AntiVir ;]

ok..... answer please 19 post

Well, then ull have only 1 problem:
Disconnect problem...
But the rest will be fine ;]

ok........ then how i can save my all players that played on my server ?

There's a topic (Guides Section) around here, just search ;]

guide works for crash fix of scf ep2 files too ?

can I edit, anothers ASCII ?

No CRASH !! but still FREEZE or LAG.... i think come form gs write log... anyone can stop them?

becareful to edit another ASCII ,bcuz GS do some thing wrong ...example : close by no reason , When crash can't auto start with BoRStartup..
