if that VM solution of yours is a portable one, would you mind sharing it? That would be much easier and spare a ton of trouble I think
Thats unfortunately not an option. At first its an amount of Gb, and i also have some own installs on there like hamachi, the whole sql is with my PC name, SQL passwords (which are similar to passwords i use elswhere ;P) etc.
I guess the share from suppo is the best atm to get. Just install VM-Ware Player and make a clean install. When RoM works also backup it with copy/paste. Unless there will be a new 7.x release (Which i guess will happen earliest if Gameforge shuts down the official servers) i guess i never have to install the whole Runes of Magic thing again.
Scrapped the previous post. Thanks to Mageoskis PM response linking to Drews post regarding the server setup, I managed to make it work.
Unfortunaly, the server definitely requires being installed on C. But that also means faster startup times if C is an SSD.
I'll be writing up a guide in Word which I will upload here around tomorrow when it's done. I'll borrow some of Beatraxz' work from his updated 6.0.7 guide for this.
If you want to change the server file location, find below files and change C:\Runewaker\ to what you want.
Realm_01_Common\Global.ini
Realm_01_Service\Global.ini
Realm_01_Zone\Global.ini
RA Server Controller\RAServerController.ini
If you want to change the SQL DATA file location, find below files and change C:\Runewaker\ to what you want. (**This Step MUST BEFORE you import and create SQL DATA)
DB_sql\ROM_Account_schema.sql
DB_sql\ROM_GlobalDB_schema.sql
DB_sql\ROM_ImportDB_schema.sql
DB_sql\ROM_World_schema.sql
DB_sql\ROM_WorldLog_schema.sql
DB_sql\three_tables_import_data.sql
