please someone who thurly understands this stuff

ok i have been trying to run a pw server for over 2 months now. i have installed so much stuff on my pc im not sure what is what anymore. i recently (last 3 weeks) have been trying VBOX Image PW 1.3.6. with 1.4.2 V 283 items by hrace009 and have had no progress, i have been pulled left and right and still no progress, if anything i think its messed up more now than it was when i first started. i need someone who can walk threw this step by step. i have never ran my own server before so this is new to me. and the virutalbox is also new to me. i need one person or a few people that truly understand how this all works to try to help me. i mainly want to get the server up and running, forget setting up the client, i can do that next. as it is i cant access http://192.168.0.10:8080/pwAdmin/ no matter what i have done.

ok, well new update, i built the server on a diffrent pc and i got past where i was, got the the http://7192.168.1.10:8080/pwAdmin/ and started the server, got the downgrade file first i installed pwi and extracted all of the downgrade file, ran the downgrade file, and client is downgraded, only one problem i cant figure out how to get the files in my server. elements.data needs to be put into my server, but how, i downloaded winscp and when i try to go into the server useing port 80, or 8080 ftp, username root and password hrace009 i get nothing.

I prefer Filezilla as its just awesome...


In all seriousness though... You'd think something like that would be 'basics' you'd think everyone wanting to run a server would know...

any idea why 150, and i know it is possible to edit mobs in game but i can not figure out how to do it, or what i need to use to open it with. and if i change mobs data, would i need to do a patch? what if i wanted to add for say white draco from pwr?

150 because gs.elf limit it. To raize it like to 200 edit the gs.elf.
You need to edit the elements.data. Thats the first. In Client and Server.
Then if you wanna place it somewhere you have to edit the npcgen.data.
Each Map folder has. (/home/gamed/config/a..)
You need to make a patch if the ID doesnt exist in Clientside.

sELedit from ronny. If it fails to load the elements, there are 3 reasons that can cause this issue:

1. Your .NET 3.5 is broken
2. Your elements file is broken
3. You choosed the wrong elements version

i have done some looking arround and found that an issue i have where the forges dont always put out the item is caused by a broken elements, but i dont know how to "fix" it. is thier a diffrent file i need to download and use instead?

im also courous my friends brought up a good point, when adding some items to their charters, it crashes the world map, we want to try to find the hex information but cant find it anywhere, does anyone know how to find the hex info? like
http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/z...30/hexdata.jpg
thats an example, does anyone know how to fint that hexdata?

Use the latest PwAdmin. It come with XML Editor.

Check that the forges 3rd row is set to 0. Then check the recipe it uses for the correct IDs.
Btw i have the same problem with the tomes forge. You can create new tomes but you have to click the start button hundret times till it gives out the tome you want to create.
Why ? I dunno. Maybe an issue with the recipe somewhere. Never seen an elements.data where this is fixed.

ok i had an error in my Game Database Daemon ./gamedbd and all it said was offline, i could not start it up, i redid my server in another vm instance, and got the server running i even moved over the accounts, but one thing is still not right, the players are missing, does anyone know the folder or file i need to open in order to copy them over?

ok good news, i fixed the server and got all my characters back. i made an exact copy of the server as a backup

ok does anyone know how to make a quest trash-able, and i open up the elements.data file and see the forges, but im not sure what you mean by the 3rd row, to be 0, i open it with sELedit.
