Game Client to Match Server Version
Hi all,
I started with this guide that was originally posted by Ronny1982: http://forum.ragezone.com/f695/serve...-4-2-a-698047/
It's the easiest guide I have found so far to get a working server version. I will admit most of this is new to me but I do have a good idea of whats going on. Let me stress the idea part again cause this is still new to me.
So for starters:
1) Set up VMWare Player
2) Download and installed the Debian (NETWORK) let me stress (NETWORK) version. This is where I had problems with the guide. I was trying to save time and downloaded the standalone installer. When you do this you won't be able to install Java an MySQL (or at least I couldn't)
3) I followed the rest of the instruction and was able to log on to the PWAdmin which was great.
Now I reach my Dilemma, the only thing I found in the guide was "Use a client patched with pwd.codeplex.com... guide for client will coming later" Now I tried googling this and getting a client that could log into the server but to no luck. The best I could come up with was all the private server that only had patches for their game and a bunch of broken links.
If you made it this far let me thank you for your patience.
Based on experience I'm sure I need:
1) client patched to match the game files
2) blank client that can be updated to what I need
3) a way to make the update to patch my client
How do I get a client that I can custom patch to even connect to this server and also is there something built in to the server that can help me create the client for it?
Thanks in advance
I would like to make the fundamentals of the client into a guide cause I'm sure other people like me have run into this same confusion. Please let me know if you don't want your responses quoted.
Re: Game Client to Match Server Version
depending how you got your cleint or what its from. you will need to match all the .data files to your server, your maps folder have to be syncronized with your server and client to be the same read.
this will get rid of the map out of phase or whatever. and your npc's and locations of npc's and mobs will be fixed and working if different before.
as for patching... use spatcher is its the easiest patcher to use CPW is a little more complicated. well a lot complicated if you have no idea.
as for version you need to use element changer.exe to change the version to your server version found in your server in glinkd/gamesys.conf and look for
version = 10306
yours could be different then use selement_changer and type in the correct value to your server so that they are the same.
hopefully this covers what you were asking.
get 343 dev tools... everything is in there to make it work.
