[Help] Got my server up and running / 2 thumbs up / just a couple questions

Hello All you fellow PT players and fans out there...

I'll give you a run down of what I did to get it running since I see so many people with questions.

Note that I am running my server and Client on separate stations and configs are as follow:
Server:
Intel P-duo E2200 @ 2.2 Ghz
4 gig DDR 800 Ram
320G HD
Rest of the spec does not matter.

Client:
If you can run PT Client, then the spec really don't matter, it's a DX8 game :P:

I guess in theory, you might be able to run server + client on the same machine but your machine will have to be at least 3gig of ram since the server runs constantly on my box using roughly 800-1K ram, its not that much of a CPU hog from what I can tell, my CPU stays under 10%.

This is what I used:

Windows XP SP2
MS SQL 2005 Express Edition
MS SQL Sever Management Studio

Fusion PT Repack
Server_1198946227
Monster_1203376617
KPT-Endless-Tower-v2.2-Ultimate-Release (I have not installed this yet), it appears this is more of a addon rather then a patch, so I'm waiting till I get the hang of this whole p-server thing before starting to dabble into the more complex.

Client:
I'm using DPT's Client with game.exe from 1873_quantumfusion (modded the IP)

You can use PsTale(Test_1871).exe from this site also but alot of the game text inside will be in Korean.

My suggestion is keep it simple first, if you cant start your server yet and running stable, dont worry about all the bells and whistles, just get your server up and running.

I'm not going to bother writing a walkthru as I just used the info from the thumbnailed threads on this forum, just follow the instructions and that's how I got my server running.

Here are the links for your reference:

http://forum.ragezone.com/f286/guide...server-388806/

This guide has pics and all, it's a walkthru for dummies, if you cant get it to work after following this guide, you should probably just give up.

A few tips:

• turn off your firewall, you can turn it back on later once you get it working and then configure it with ports 10006 and 10009 (should probably double check that).
• Use your local IP first, once you get it running, you can try to use your ISP IP, since most of us use at least a router and or firewall, be sure you use port forwarding.
• I set my router to 192.168.0.1, my PC to 192.168.0.2 and my server to 192.168.0.3

Some of the links from the thumbnailed thread does not work, but I found all the files from this site except DPT, search is your friend.

hope this helps. :thumbup:


Edit 02-15-09: The above mentioned setup is very stable, I've been running it for 2 weeks now with occasional reboot due to upgrades and modifications and has yet to crash.

Yo,
If you read SiK's guide once or twice, it doesnt matter. But all you need is in there.
Also read my guide (there are NPC help how to make it work too) http://forum.ragezone.com/f286/guide...orking-331160/
Read it till you understand it, since everything you need to make things work can be found in those guides.
Do also check out the sticky area (where those guides are located).
Peace.

cool deal, thx.. I found out that it was a problem on the server end, the NPC was listed in the field files but there was no NPC or Zhoon files..

Im currenently cleaning up the server files, its actually alot of work. THeres a whole bunch of garbage inside.. god items, dreadnaught, rings that gives 1000 regen, necro ax .. lol oO"

The server itself is very stable, just the tables are a mess and there are alot of useless files inside, once I am done cleaning it up, I'll upload a clean copy.. its the least I can do since this community has given so much, take a little, give a little :)

I am removing 98% of the items that are not in EPT.. dreadnaught, inferno, makova, etc, etc... The only items that I am keeping are dark/chaos sheilds 90-100 I think, the 85-90,105 weapons,

clan is disabled at the moment, working on it later.

For those FYI: Im using still using what was posted on the original post, no modifications, no modifications to the actual server exes itself.. (yet)-
DPT client
Quantum fusion.exe
Fusion Repack
Server Patch
Monster Patch
Fusion Ultimate release


Question: Has anyone manage to get the copper ore to work?

uPT got it workin I belive.

I think Mages & Priestess needs lovin, all other characters can solo at high levels, but magic class are mere XP machines at end game, Im thinking of changing some of their end game skills to 0 recharge, already did Meteor & Flame Wave, it's actually quite easy... what do you guys think?

I'm also stuck on trying to get Velento to work properly, Ive tried 2 different monster.inf files and the only thing I can result in is he dies in one hit, the other is he goes to 75% HP then goes bezerk, he litterally hits his head on the floor multiple times and the rest of his HP plummets, it's actually quite halarious.. anyone know what I am doing wrong?

GM summoned mobs dont drop loot?

eh Swez.. uPT? can I have the entire name? I can only come up with "Ultimate PT"..

UPT = http://www.uniquept.net/forums/index.php

Sorry justsomebody, and thx DK ;)

A little treat for those with problems running XPT account manager...

Things you will need:

A working properly configured PT Client/Server (duh!)

IIS installed Win Server 2003 or XP

php-5.2.8-win32.zip (I recommend this one instead of the .msi installer, I could'nt get the installer to work so I just configured it myself which I will explain how)
LINK: http://www.php.net/downloads.php

You'll also need XPT account manager, download the rar on the primary thread & all the updates, extract and overwrite.
LINK: http://forum.ragezone.com/f399/release-xpt-acc-char-manager-1-21-php-script-230004/

Google this file and download it !!! YOU WILL NEED IT... ntwdblib.dll (I got mine off Microsoft's site so yea, it's safe... I think....)

Step by Step here: (I assume you have somewhat at least simple knowledge of using your computer, if not, please dont try this as you may break something)

• Install IIS in windows control panel add remove programs.
• (A)Test your IIS by creating a simple text file, put inside "TEST", rename it to index.html, put it inside the default web directory which should be "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot", try connecting with your IE/Firefox using http://localhost/index.html, if you see "TEST" in your browser, grats, please proceed.
• (B)If you are getting page display error or not found, try going into control panel, administrative tools, and internet information services, expand "your computer name (local computer), web sites, then default web sites, right click on default web site, all task, then permission wizard, select next then select new security settings from a template, next select public website and next, next, next finish... try accessing your page again...
  [break]
• create a directory under C: call PHP. c:\php
• extract the file "php-5.2.8-win32.zip " you downloaded earlier into there.
• create a session folder inside your php folder (C:\PHP\sessionfolder)
  [break]
• rename the file php.ini-reccommended to php.ini
  [A]change these following lines.....
  [B]session.save_path variable in php.ini to be (session.save_path=C:\PHP\sessionFolder). (remove " ; ")
  [C]Set extension_dir in php.ini to "C:\PHP\ext" (extension_dir = "C:\PHP\ext") (remove " ; ")
  [D]Remove the ";" next to "php_mssql.dl" (unless you are using mysql or msql, etc, then remove ";" next to that one instead, I have not tested the other sql's)
  [E]short_open_tag = on (default is off, must turn on to properly view XPT php pages, so change that too)
  [F]we are done with the php.ini file, save it inside c:\php and also copy inside to c:\windows.
  [break]
• Copy the earlier download file "ntwdblib.dll" inside the "ext" folder & %systemroot%\system32\ folder, otherwise, your IIS wont be able to call the php_mssql.dll. (this is the file that works magic and makes your php scripts talk to your mssql server)
  [break]
• Make sure that PHP folder is in the system path, add "C:\PHP" to the server's PATH environment variable:
  [A]Right-click on My Computer, choose Properties
  [B]goto the Advanced tab
  [C]Click the Environment Variables button
  [D]Double-click the Path variable in the list of System variables.
  [E]add ";C:\PHP" to the end (no quotes, need to restart pc to take effect).
  [break]
• ok, on to more IIS stuff... open your IIS panel again,
  [A]Expand the local computer in the left pane
  [B]Right-click on "default web site" under "Web Sites" in the left pane, then click "Properties" in the menu that pops up
  [C]Go to the Home Directory tab
  [D]Click "Configuration"
  [E]Go to the Mappings tab
  [F]Click Add...
  [G]Enter the full path to php-cg.exe in the "Executable" textbox, YOU MUST use CG, not any of the other DLL or EXE....!!!!
  [H]Enter ".php" in the extension box
  [I]enter "GET,POST,HEAD" in limit to:
  [J]Click OK, OK, OK.. or Apply.....
  [break]
• now to test your PHP in IIS, create a new text file and paste this inside: "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" (without the quotes, save it as test.php, go to your browser and try to access it http://localhost/test.php, if you see the page, you are set.
  [break]
• The page should be a PHP generated page with a big PHP logo on top and next to it/near it "PHP Version 5.2.8", under Server API , it should say "CGI/FastCGI", if indeed it does, grats, you are almost done..
  [break]
• Whew... hard part out of the way, now lets crack open XPT Account manager file, extract that to your default "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot" directory.
• Right click then edit config.php, if you manage to get your server running, you should know how to fill that out :ott1:
• FYI: adminlist is where you enter your account that you want admin rights on the XPT account manager site.
• access XPT Account manager by "http://localhost/index.php"...

Well thats all... :laugh:

A few tips on security, if you are worried that other people may access the site and use fuctions you dont want them to, you can change the security settings in IIS to force you to enter a login/password (your windows uid/pass), another thing is you can block port 80 from your router if you have one, so you can only access the site inside your network.

On your "default website properties", Directory Security tab in IIS admin panel, remove the check next to "Anonymous Acess", and check below "integrated Windows Authentication"... This should enable you having to login using your windows uid/pass to access the site from any browser..

Remember: your security is as strong as your password... so 1234567 well, you know what I mean :ott1:

NOTE: after changing the XP HEX value, there is something else that needs to be changed, Im working on that since I dont know what it is yet, but here are the HEX for reference. The current problem is characters will level past 100% and need to relog to level up...


EDIT: uploaded new, much cleaner

This is the HEX and DEC I took off from the client.exe, it is a match to that of EPT exe, there is a slight variation with the one dark has posted, so for trouble shooting purpose, I choose to go with the original table...

The clients I have looked at are SGPT 1855, KPT 1870 & 1871, Server is KPT Endless Tower Ultimate Realease 2.2, the hex address for the XP table should be 312A50H and 02186E0H for the server, 1F0CF0H for the client. I'm using UltraEdit, so not sure if these numbers will work for you if you are using another, you can always do search using the table from above.


EDIT 2/22 After changing the XP tables, characters are unable to level up, still working on it, will post update once find how to resolve this issue.
