When trying to connect the MasterServer.exe I get the following error:


"MasterServer.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize enquiry.c (0xc0150002). Click on OK to terminate the application. "


If I run as administrator, I get the following error: "


"MasterServer.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed to start because nwzCryptoLib.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. "


I use OS: Windows 2003 Server


Anyone know how to fix this?

I have successfully made a server using your guide aegis. Thanks for it.
server is on windows xp home 32 bit
the only problem was msvcp90.dll giving error for gameserver and loginserver. I solved the problem by downloading the msvcp90.dll from internet ( find it attached for whoever has the same problem).
I have to say that I find it a bit....overrated that we have to use mssql instead of something a lot more userfriendly like MySQL or even postgre, but it is how it is.
The only problem I have is that I cant seem to find a machable client for it. I have looked into the contents of this package and it has some stuff that's far later then the OBT or CBT of the game. So the question remains.. which client is suitable for this guide and the "etekserver", and with which launcher/connect patch/client modification it can run?

Best Regards

I was able to get everything running but after character creation and after you hit connect it just stuck on logging to game server. It just stuck there, any help? Might probably be the client, anyone got it working and able to log into the game world?

.1. Introduction
Hello, I have been messing with these files a little and would like to present my vanilla release and setup guide.

These files contain no mods and also were stripped of all unnecessary files. (making the download much smaller)

If you would like to upload mirrors please do so! The more the better for the community. If you are unable to access any of my links in your ISP region please let me know what sites work for you and I will work on another mirror for you.

.1a. Version Notes

1.0 - Completed setup guide to get server functional

To Do - Web Registration Guide (files already included in 1.0)
- Client Modification (Launcher Making etc...)

.3. Recommended Setup

If you are planning on playing with a few friends and plan on hosting the server on your own machine you should consider using a product like VMWARE to emulate a server without installing a ton of extra stuff on your own computer. I will not provide support or setup instruction for VMWARE considering there is more than enough support on their site. With the link I provided you will need to register (free) and download their software (also free). Obtain your own copy of which ever windows operating system you prefer. I state this as the preferred method because it is the most secure for you and your private information. After you have VMWARE installed continue to .4.

.3a. Alternate Setup

If you do not wish to use VMWARE or you are installing the server on a standalone server continue to .4.

.4. - Installing and configuring MSSQL 2008

I am borrowing a majority of the MSSQL 2008 Setup from sockie who has a guide posted in the sticky section. Why re-create the wheel - his guide is perfect.





.5. Configuring Server

Ok let's start by editing the config files
Open Up you AppServer folder and double click on Server.ini
I've done the liberty of adding in commented examples any line that has a ; infront is an example how how it should look when you are done.

Remember the blue text in the MSSQL setup section, the part I told you to remember? that is the text you put in the spots that say SERVER = "YOURSQLSERVER"

Your LAN IP you should be able to figure out. If you are even attempting this guide without that basic knowledge..... I recommend Google.

USERNAME = "sa"
PASSWORD = "password used in step 1 during MSSQL setup"

The same information is required in all server.ini files
However Gameserver2 has one additional string PUBLIC_IP
you can get this by going to

If you would like to use a

forward, you may also do so.

After the above steps are completed properly your server will run without error. I create shortcuts to the server .exes and place them all in one location (like my desktop)

.6. Web Registration Setup
COMING SOON
(needed files already included in this setup)


.7. Client Modification

(client already provided, change connect.ini)

I have a few tips:

If you use sql authentication "sa", ensure that you give the SQL accounts access to the directories where the SQL backups are...
I gave "modify permissions" to these groups:
"SQLServer2005SQLBrowserUser$yourservername"
"SQLServerMSSQLUser$yourservername"

When restoring the backups to databases that you created, go to "options" and then tick "Overwrite the existing database (WITH REPLACE)"

If you are using 64bit windows when creating ODBC connections, create two connections. One in 32bit and one in 64bit.

start > run > %SystemRoot%\SysWow64\odbcad32.exe
AND
start > run > odbcad32.exe

When editing the server.ini files - ensure that ODBC name matches the ODBC info exactly, for example ( ODBC = "SQL Server Native Client 10.0" )
