All-in-One Server and Client Setup Script + Server Files

[bloppins]

First, thanks for this. The one click install got a server up and running on one of my machines. I also downloaded the client from your other tutorial. I can run the client from the same machine the server is on, and it works. I can make a character and get into the game. When I setup a client configuration via this same install script, and run it on a separate machine, I cannot connect. The game just freezes up and doesn't do anything. Both PCs are on the same network. Same IP scheme and subnet.

Do you have any ideas? I made sure to use the LAN ip of the server machine everywhere except for in the server machines host file. It uses localhost there.

One Click Setup Script for Vindictus Private Server

Hello my fellow RageZoners!​

I put together a PowerShell script that automates the entire Vindictus private server setup process — from installing dependencies to configuring databases and starting services. No more following guides and hoping you didn't miss a checkbox or field somewhere.

This is a lite version (only server!), client is not included, that means PvP is not working out of the box.
Good news, you can add client with srcds.exe and make the pvp arena work, tho, keep in mind, PvP doesnt work in VMs.

For pvp to work, you need a client and edit ServiceCore.dll.config in server. Key "DSExecPath" value: "ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_YOUR_srcds.exe"

Can you tell me your client hardware and OS? Also the server OS (where it worked)

Can you check "EVENT VIEWER" for the crash? Ask some AI like Gemini if you need further instructions.

Please come back at me because im noticing some issues lately and I want to investigate.

Host machine is win10 pro, the client is win11 home. Hardware on client is a ryzen7 9800x, and 4070ti.

The issue is fixed. I uninstalled everything. Re-ran the all-in-one script, and this time made sure to use the LAN IP everywhere it let me (making sure to double check all settings). The problem still happened on first test, but grok helped determine it was a firewall issue. I disabled windows firewall completely, and I was able to join the server from a separate machine on the same subnet. Keep in mind, in the all-in-one script I ran ALL the steps, even the firewall ones.

The all-in-one script you made was wonderful, but I am guessing it is missing some firewall rules in the setup. It is the only thing that makes sense, since disabling it completely was my actual fix.

EDIT: I would very much like to know, what exact firewall rule I need to add to allow other machines to hit that server. I do not want to always run with the windows firewall down. If you could help me isolate that, I would appreciate it.
Also I noticed the DEPOT is disabled. Is there any plans to emulate that? In the mean time, I found some work around stuff to obtain those items.

Hey, I appreciate the feedback. Maybe failed to set up the rules.
You had to disable it client or server side? Ports should be:
Port 80 - TCP
Port 42 - TCP
Port 6500 - TCP
Port 10000-10050 - TCP
Port 27000-29000 - TCP/UDP
Port 47611 - TCP

And any other port used for server (maybe not needed) like RCClient, RCServer and SQL Server (1433). Again, probably not needed.
The list of ports is kinda trial and error, but that should be a flexible, all-in list.

For Depot stuff you have GMSendMail tool, which you can use to send you stuff through in-game mail. Premium or regular stuff.

When you say "I unisntalled everything" you mean just server-client stuff? Or also OS. Im having some issues with BlackCall.aes and I dont know if its because a recent Win11 update or what.

Haha, sorry. I wasn't very specific I guess. I uninstalled everything via the script uninstall feature. All the server tools/config.

I had to disable the firewall on the server for the client to be able to connect. However I didn't have to for the the client to connect directly on the same machine (localhost). When I disabled the the firewall on the server, other clients could connect over the LAN.

I will try to specifically add the ports manually, and try again with the firewall enabled.

Again the server side is on win 10 pro. I have not had issues with BlackCall.aes as far as I can tell... Everything is working with a win10 pro server, and win11 clients.

Also, thank you for the heads up on GMSendMail tool. I found it, and it works great.

EDIT:
I manually checked, and did not need to add any rules, they were already created. What was weird though, is there are duplicate rules, and some of the rules were not enabled. I enabled the firewall, the rules that were not enabled, removed the duplicate entries, and everything still works.

So with the firewall on, it is working. If anyone else has this problem, make sure to check on the rules. Some of the rules that were supposedly added by the script, were automatically disabled for some reason. I cannot fathom why, whether it was user error, or the computer/script. The issue is completely fixed now, with the firewall turned on.

Thank you very much for your help.

This says I have to reply to see the download so here I am replying.
Got the hankering to play Vindictus again, lately, but absolutely hate the main community. This popped up and I really appreciate the efforts put in.

 

[bloppins]

I am having an issue with character progression now. Characters stop earning experience suddenly. Weird. Any ideas?

you are under level 10 right?

 

[bloppins]

you are under level 10 right?

Yeah, under level 10. I don't remember vindictus being like that... But then again, I haven't played in a million years.

 

[ArtykWolf]

Yeah, the thing is it looks like some quest is missing in low level that wont allow you to reach the next level. The 2 solutions are:
1- Set your char lvl in database to 10.
2- For future proofing you can increase quest / dungeon EXP rates.

Will do. Thanks again.

Are there already any pre-written guides or anthing on how I would go about customizing this re-package (if possible), so that 2 - 4 players could experience the entirety of the content? I remember there were some hard locks back when I played such as COLRU (must have 8 player), and other raids too...

Are there any guides on going about remove said constraints and possibly scaling fights down to half the original player count? I am pretty sure I can figure out how to scale boss hp and stuff, but I could not find anything in the databases relating to possibly removing hard checks to start certain fights... such as, COLRU buttons / mini golems for example.

Re: 24 Man Raid Solo Mode

Can you share how to or where to edit it ??
I saw you have edited from table QuestInfo, I have thinked about it and have done yet before but cant create boat, how did you do that ??
What table need edited after QuestInfo (Entity, EntityAttribute or Sectors) ??

Both db3
Change QuestInfo table QuestSet to 1, DisableUserShip to 'False', EnableUserDSMode to 'False' to create boat

HeroesContents.db3 to remove the ghostwall
Get SectorID from Sectors table for all the 24 man quest
Get EntityID from Entity table for all the 24 man quest SectorID
Go through...

Thats perfect, thank you. Colru specifically might be a bit different, but that puts me in the right direction for sure. I will play with some values, and if I run into any trouble with some tests, I will surely be back ahha. Thanks AGAIN, and AGAIN.

One Click Setup Script for Vindictus Private Server

Hello my fellow RageZoners!​

I put together a PowerShell script that automates the entire Vindictus private server setup process — from installing dependencies to configuring databases and starting services. No more following guides and hoping you didn't miss a checkbox or field somewhere.

This is a lite version (only server!), client is not included, that means PvP is not working out of the box.
Good news, you can add client with srcds.exe and make the pvp arena work, tho, keep in mind, PvP doesnt work in VMs.

For pvp to work, you need a client and edit ServiceCore.dll.config in server. Key "DSExecPath" value: "ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_YOUR_srcds.exe"
