GMSv265.3

Hello thanks for the great release! Anyone has an issue with the cashshop? I crash after a few seconds when i enter. Anyone encounter same or found a fix please let me know thank you!
 
Anyone have an issue where equips/items don't save? Not sure if there's a specific order to run the SQL scripts or if its a known issue.
 
Managed to get the server running, and moved Localhost.dll in the authhook folder to the maplestory folder. Tried running maplestory.exe but nothing happens. Also tried renaming localhost.dll to msvn.dll/ijl15.dll as a previous comment stated but still didn't work. Am I missing a step somewhere to get the client to run and connect to the server?

Open the solution for the AUTH hook, edit the IP and build the project. It'll build the msvn.dll.

Then download the Launcher and make some changes there as well and build it.

I've uploaded both here for local gameplay (translated to English as well).

Hmm, I did try to build the auth hook project yesterday, but as far as I could tell, all it did was build a few Localhost files under x64/Release.

Also, what do you mean by download the launcher and make changes to it? The download only has the server(v214 src) and auth hook(v263 AithHook) folders. Is there a separate download for the launcher that I'm missing?

Edit: I just realised OP's picture has a link to a launcher but it's under a spoiler tag in some discord server. Is that what I'm missing? If yes, can someone provide the download link here or an invite to that discord server?

Edit2: Nvm, the discord server link is in the picture as well. 😅

The orgininal authhook contains my old vps IP. Change it into 127.0.0.1 and rename the dll to msvn.dll to fit launcher's requirement.

Try to run the backup.sql inside it? or look into the log folder to know why it does'nt save.

This will do the job.

Nice! This server files + client are working properly.

However, since it’s a server emulator, I do occasionally find a few unstable bugs here and there.

Thank you for sharing these server files and the client with me.



Tip: Some jobs are locked and cannot be selected when creating a character.
Hello. Could you guide me on how to install or use Untraview to help me with the installation?

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the person who created this source code and the person who shared this post.

Hello everyone,
since i liked the release and many thanks to the person who shared it, decided to create / modify old launcher to fit the game release, the new launcher for GMS265 is finished and ready to use. This thread will be updated whenever a new version is released, so keep checking back.

Download​

[GMS265 Launcher v1.0.0.22] —
Zip password: gms265


Installation​

  1. Extract the zip to any folder (for example C:\GMS265).
  2. Copy the launcher .exe out of the zip.
  3. Important: from the bin\Release folder, copy these two files next to the launcher:
    • WpfAnimatedGif.dll — required, the launcher will not start without it
    • msvn.dll — required, the auth hook, this one goes into your MapleStory client folder
  4. Run the launcher.
If the launcher closes instantly or complains about a missing file, you missed one of the two DLLs above. Both must be in the same folder as the launcher .exe, and make sure to run it as administrator.

Config
- IP, launcher name, slogan, tagline, launch text and footer text all come from server_info.txt, edit it then run built.bat and press 1

- Launcher: modified from the V232 Swordie-Launcher, modifications by me myself, iskono

u can still download it directly from Steam in console. grok loaded up my steam console and downloaded that exact depot.
 
When I tried to run this server before it seemed to me that the database was missing some tables. Is there a specific order we're supposed to load the .sql files in?

using AI you can get it to like 80% completion but things like boss scripts are really hard to do. it really is just like 10% core, you have maps, monsters spawn in but you have to enable all the quests manually (or with ai), a ton of things like portal locations, runes, harvestables, the minigames, all the usable/consumable items/etc. the source includes most of what you need but unfortunately bosses and like one of fritto's minigames are either impossible or really hard to implement with the available source. might be other stuff that wasn't fully implemented by time i stopped working on my copy since I was just seeing how far I could go.

i basically just modded mine to enable all the anime collab stuff, mess around and level a kanna up a bit with regular xp rates (also have to change those LOL)

(also someone else made a 265.3 launcher with some server scripts, start from there.)

mind sharing ?

kinda dropped progress on it after I got stuck on boss scripts since I was just testing how far I could go, modified the game a lot too in ways like making nx items drop from mobs and such so it wasn't original anymore by any means. the repro steps are just using Claude Opus 5.5 (currently best public AI model) and telling it what to fix/add, it can do a majority of it from the source code there except for the truly missing things like one of the minigames. It also needs to rewrite logic for like all consumables/things that grant items/etc since those were unfunctional as well.
