[Guide] How to make Ran Offline Here! (EP7)

[nostalgicblades]

Credits to https://forum.ragezone.com/threads/guide-official-guide-on-setting-up-an-ep7-v1-server.771837/ (I used this thread as a basis of how I built my server and guide, I just simplified and revived some links)

Note: This could also easily be turned online, depending on your needs and network/server setup.

For simplicity's sake, use a Windows XP (Service Pack 3) VM, running on VirtualBox.

On your server, install Microsoft .NET Framework 2

Installing Microsoft SQL 2005 Server Express Edition
- Run the installer.
- Uncheck "hide advanced config options".
- Install entire "Client Components" package.
- Select Named Instance, leave name default (SQLExpress).
- Select "use the built-in System account", "Network service".
- Start both SQL server and browser at end of setup.
- Select Mixed Mode auth, specify sa user logon password.
- Uncheck "Enable User Instances", check add user to SQL server admin role.
- After installation, go to Start > All Programs > MSSQL Server 2005 > Config tools > SQL server surface area config.
- Under config surface area for localhost > select surface area config for services and connections.
- Under Database engine > Select Remote Connections.
- Select Local and remote connections > using TCP/IP only, then apply.
- Under Database engine > service > stop and start service.

Installing Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
- Run the installer.
- Hit next all throughout.

Install the client and the patch.
Create server and client folders on the server.

Setting up the server files
- Copy client data folder to server folder.
- Go to cfg then update all IP addresses on game01-04.ini files to your server's IP addr, also update the database settings accordingly.
- Copy game.exe from server to client, replace one from Ran Online PH.
- Create glogicserver folder in server data folder, then copy glogicserver.rcc in it.

Restoring database backups
- Copy .bak files to program files > MSSQL server > MSSQL.1 > MSSQL > Backup.
- Open MSSQL management studio, login using SQL auth.
- Create new databases for RanGame1, RanUser, RanLog, and RanShop. SQLServer instance > Databases (right click) > New Database...
- Right click created RanGame1 database > Properties > Files > Rename RanGame1_Data to RanGame1P_Data. Then, add new RanGame1S_Data.
- SQLServer instance > Databases > Ran(Game1,User,Log,Shop) (right click) > Tasks > Restore > Database > From device > add and select database .bak file, go to Options > Overwrite the existing database.

Setting up ODBC
- Go to control panel > administrative tools > data sources (ODBC).
- Under User DSN click add, select SQL Native Client data source.
- Name it RanGame1,Log,Shop,User, connect to server RANSERVER\SQLEXPRESS (Server name\Instance name depends on how you set things up).
- Change the default DB to the corresponding one.

Client param.ini
- Open param.ini in client with REditor04.exe.
- Click yes when asked with the useless question (This asks if you want to decrypt to be human readable).
- Edit LoginAdress to point to your server's address.
- Save, then click no to not encrypt.
- Encrypt param.ini with rzcheck (rzcheck is a command-line application). Run rzcheck.exe h to see how to encrypt your param.ini file.

Server launch sequence
1. Session
2. Login
3. Field
4. Agent

To launch game.exe without launcher, create a shortcut of game.exe then change target to: "Path to your\Ran Client\game.exe" /app_run

I hope this helps, enjoy!

nostalgicblades​

​

You mean the source code? I don't have it. As I mentioned in the beginning of the guide, this is just based on I'm Not Mental's original EP7 V1 guide.

As for the features, nothing new, I did not add any, just a vanilla copy of Ran Online PH.

This guide is meant to be as simple as possible for people who just want to run it offline/on LAN.

 

[yaggi]

is this same process on EP9?

Thanks for updating the files!

Open your comment.ini using the text (REditor) and check the key entry in LANDEFFECT_TYPE, it seems it is more or less on what is define in the source code.

Thank you for your reply my good sir,
I am puzzled on where to look the comment.ini because in the data folder there is no comment.ini I tried to check the other folders but there is no comment.ini I already tried comment.ini from the other source but it's not working. Fieldserver not responding
I also tried to move the server files to C:\ProgramFiles\ to check if that's the problem but it's not also fixed the problem.
