I figure the reg file + ldata.bmd is wan?

Thanks to whoever helps.

P.S. I dont want to use hamachi, i dislike it.

 

[lordvladek]

Im guessin no one knows how to do it?

 

[HappyHardcore]

Try server repacks such as BNF server repack, or McMadness Server repack. BNF helps stop crashes with 1855 server. McMadness repack comes pre-packed with many of tools... either way you should go, it should make it easy for you to make a server.

Both repacks comes with already made hotuk's for you to easily edit.

 

[lordvladek]

Have em both, i was friends with mc and helped him work on his. i mean i connect, GS shows im connected but it doesnt allow me to go in.... It just says unable to con after a while.

 

[HappyHardcore]

Which client do you use?

 

[lordvladek]

xpt 1855/kpt admin client/rpt 1855
Basically i find what i can and try it, nothin seems to want to connect, i know the server for mc is 1849 which i should be able to use 1855 to connect to it. don work though, then with BNF i tried em all to and none seemed to wana stay connected either.

heres a pic o show you want i mean

 

[HappyHardcore]

Oh yes, oh yes. Problem is with rPT patch I believe. I forgot who said it, but rPT installed something that attempts to prohibit connection to another server. I tried using the pyePT client and it worked like a charm. Shagpub's clients should also work.

 

[lordvladek]

Thanks buddy ill try that and see how it works. so i just need to reinstall a clean 3096 client then patch it with shagpub/pyept patch?

 

[great48]

Prob is the Version you are using, of the server, i only got that 1849 to work with client version 1849, no other clients, so try a dif server or try client 1849!

 

[lordvladek]

only problem is i havent found a 1849 client patch, got a link?

 

[great48]

dont seem to have 1849 anymore as it was causing me some problems, but find a 1855 server, like XPT's and try logging in, should work.

 

[lordvladek]

tried xpt 1855 with 1855 client, didnt work either

 

[great48]

Have you tried happys pack? that has a nice server

 

[lordvladek]

BNF? yep have it on my hd right now, doesnt have a client exe, and none the ones i have work, all get the error above

 

[lordvladek]

Acutaly the error is this

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. SELECT userid, Passwd, GameCode, GPCode, RegistDay, DisuseDay,  UsePeriod, Credit, SelectChk, EventChk, BlockChk, inuse, DelChk, ServerName, EditDay, RNo, SNo, Channel, BNum FROM GGameUser WHERE userid = 'godsin'

Thats because your not getting permissions to access the database. Check your named pipes or tcp/ip which ever you use to connect to the SQL server. Check passwords.

 

[lordvladek]

i just followed renhunts guide.usin her files to doesnt have anywhre i need to put my sql pass or id. my odbc is setup lik its supose to be, i dunno why it would do that.

 

[moonzolo]

if u use ODBC find sql.dll (hidden file in your client folder) then delete it

 

[lordvladek]

there isint a hiddel file named sql.dll...

 

[moonzolo]

sorry i was wrong maybe sql.dll in server folder
