DATA BASE AND SERVER SETUP!


Step 1 - Setting up the Database and ODBC:

Creating/Connecting the Database
Open Server Management Studio Express* (SMSE). Within the Object Explorer Panel you will notice the 'Database' folder, right click it, click 'New Database...'.
A 'New Database' form will open, and in the text input type 'GunzDB' and click OK, your database has been created.
The next thing you are going to want to do is open the Database. Click File> Open> File... and locate your GunzDB.sql file and open it.
In the toolbar there is a drop-down menu with the 'master' database selected, click on the arrow and select the 'GunzDB' database and click the button next to the drop-down menu, 'Execute'. A message showing 'Command(s) completed successfully.' should notify you that you have done this all correctly.

Creating the ODBC
Click Start> Run> and in the windows input type 'odbcad32'(or just type odbcad32 in seach bar for vista/7 users. You should already be in the 'User DSN' tab so change it to 'System DSN' then click on 'Add'. Another window should pop-up. You'll have to scroll all the way down to the bottom and select 'SQL Server' then click 'Finish'.
Another window/form will pop-up needing information for your new Data Source. For the name, type 'GunzDB', for the description you may type whatever you like, but for the SQL server you which to connect to, you must go back into SMSE*, look in the SQL Editor tool bar and click the 2nd icon which will disconnect you from data engine. Now click the 1st icon which will re-connect you, but make sure to copy the 'Server name' this time, then click 'Connect'.
Now having that in hand, you can go back to creating your ODBC and in the 'Server' text input, paste in your server name. Click next since the settings are currently fine. Now in the next part, click on the tick box and select 'GunzDB' from the drop-down menu and click 'Next' and finally click 'Finish'.
If you would like to check your data source, click 'Test Data Source...' in the window or you can just click 'OK' to finish. Now to completely finish it, click 'OK' again.

Step 2 - Configuring the Server:

Place the server files in your C:\ drive and extract them into a folder with the name 'GunzServer'. Once in the folder, go to the 'Locator' folder and then open the 'Locator.ini' file. Somewhere in the file you should see these lines of code:

[NETWORK]
IP="217.0.0.1"
PORT="8900"

You can either change the '217.0.0.0' to your actual IP or localhost which is '127.0.0.1'. Besides that everything else is fine.
Make your way to the MatchServer folder and run 'MatchServer.exe', once loaded you may minimize it.

Step 3 - Creating an Account (Manually):

Bring up SMSE and expand the 'Database' folder if it hasn't already been done. Expand 'GunzDB', expand 'Tables' and right click on 'dbo.Accounts', 'dbo.Login' and 'Edit 200 rows'.
You do not need to worry about the AID field as that is an automatic generation of account number(Login you will have to add the AID from 'dbo.Accounts'). In the UserID field, type your account ID, in the Password field, type your account password and in the UGradeID and PGradID, type in your account grade.

Account Grades
Administrator - 255
Developer - 254
Banned - 253
Administrator (with normal name) - 252
Jjang - 2 (event winner)
Normal User - 0

MAKE SHURE you have opened the dbo.login and put the same name as you have put in
dbo.Account and put you password there to
After you have typed all of that in, press enter and on the SQL Editor toolbar click 'Execute' (The exclamation mark symbol).

Item Match!:

unpack system.mrs(explanded above), open the system folder
copy zitem.xml and paste it into your matchservers main folder

LOCATOR setup in the DB(in SQL)

this table can be found in tables in SQL

Client crashes just after start when using system.mrs modified for my server...

Ok. I found how to fix that: mef files has to be recreated using MEF Selector. Someone has published his mef files, but they doesn't work.

There is no mef "selector", only a dumper. No one has released mef files. Only xml's.

ill try it when i get my desktop comp back
my locator wasnt working when I first tried. (always dead server 1) and even with old locator config (it said Live server 1) it still wouldn't show up in the client.
:P EDIT : Does it NEED MSSQL 2008? I'm using 2005.

No it doesn't. 2005 is good enough. Just make sure the 2008 DB is executed properly and for the locator, just copy the 2008 one and use it with your old configuration. It should work if you're using the 08 runnable and old configuration.
Posted via Mobile Device

yes MSSQL 2005 works 2 but 2005 doesnt work on windos 7 all that well from what ive seen

Ty Ty Ty Ty

some files are 0kb in the runnable. Ive heard its corrupted, what then?

2008 yes, ive used it before on windows 7 RC1 before

MSSQL works just fine.

@Maxtraxv3 Is the system.mrs decrypted? (the .mef files)

is this tutorial only for 32bits? cause i was trying on a 64bits and this one [Gunz Client Runnable(must use)] doesn't work!

Thankies, good tutorial !

Good job dude.

Client Runnable link dont work anny more
and if i install client and install update, i get a error
when i try to start gunz :(
GunzLauncher is not a normal 32bit program

Good job, Max.

I'd love to give it a try but my IP is changing every single day so I gave Gunz servers a break. :(

What do you mean? I can read! It's just a question. Can you answer me? I'm asking this because I already run one server on a 64bits WinVista and I don't want to go back to Vista anymore. I suggest you to type [x86(32bits)ONLY], like you did to rc or beta version of win 7 cause it sound like you didn't try on a 64bits. thats all. thx for this tuto anyways!

where is the agentconfig?

thanks you .

The client runnable isn't responding, could someone mirror it for me? Thx.

Uhm..

http://brclient.ath.cx/thedueljul21(alldisabled).exe doesn't work.

Are you able to skip that file?

And why the hell is everything in a strange language?
Look at the installer.
Look at messages.xml

Where do i find Agentconfig.xml??????

thank you..1!! i prefer 07
