Re: [Guide] Full to Vana
Setting up your Source
First i shall explain the database, i shall assume you already have MySQL and the GUI Tools, and/or Navicat or whatever you use.
1) First you should start up MySQL Query Browser and use your user/pass but make the default schema maplestory
2) When your in double click your maplestory so its selected, then open the scripts in your branches folder.
3) Execute all of them in order, this is only half your database you still need the 2nd half, depending on what you use you shall need a different one. VEDB is the 2nd half to your database.
go here
You must be registered to see links
and i shall explain Tespia first so download VEDB 9
VEDB9:
You must be registered to see links
(made for tespia as far as i know)
VEDB11:
You must be registered to see links
(made for possibly .56 ~ .58
4) Execute the SQL inside this also to your maplestory schema.
Now your database is done so now we'll setup your source ^^
Setting up your server
Open your conf folder inside Vana/Branches/058_support/conf and you should have a bunch of .sample files
1) Open channelserver.lua.sample and edit the ext ip to w/e you like and save it.
2) Open inter_password.lua.sample and edit the 'changeme' so people don't hack your server?
3) You don't have to open loginserver.lua.sample,
4) Open mysql.lua.sample and edit so it suits your MySQL
5) Worlds.lua.sample is for changing the world and channels and stuff, you can edit this if you like
6) Worldserver.lua.sample is also your choice, i personally don't edit this but you can if you like.
Now what you have to do on each file is remove the .sample from each file.
Setting up Microsoft Visual C++ to compile Vana
1) Download vcsetup.exe at
You must be registered to see links
Pay mind to which one your downloading, make sure its the yellow box that literally says Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
If you already have this redownload this and make sure you have v9.0 2008
2) Next to support Microsfot Visual C++ download the framework here (you need 3.5)
You must be registered to see links
Now to support Vana you shall require a boost
This one is easy
1) Download boost at
You must be registered to see links
and get the newest one 1.35.0
2) Close Visual C++
2) Open Setup and click in order I Agree, I Agree, Choose Random Mirror then click Next And at this state tick what my picture shows
Then click next until your finished. Let this install/download until its complete
What boost does is when your building your source you won't receive errors.
building your source
Ok now you have to open MapleStoryServer.sln in your branches folder
Just open what i have selected, mines more complete because my folder is finished.
Ok after you open it you need to edit 2 minor things
![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
First shall be your sendheader.h
In your Solution Explorer scroll through Common/Header Files/Packets/headers/ and select SendHeader.h
Your sendheader.h should have
or something close to it, make it
then save it
Now you shall open Decoder.cpp
Its like my picture, in Solution Explorer you go through Common/Source Files/Decoder/ then select Decoder.cpp
When you open Decoder.cpp find
If you can't go all the way to the bottom and its there
change it to
Then Save it.
Go to the top and Build your solution with "debug" not "release". When its build is complete you now have to support your server.
Go into your Vana Folder/branches/.058 support/debug and go into channel/world/login and get the channel.exe/login.exe/world.exe and copy then and paste into your main .58 support folder, the same folder as your maplestoryserver.sln.
Loading your server
Well this is easy!
Start in this order
1) start login
2) start world
3) start channel
And if you did everything right it should load up fine!
Connecting to your Server
DXWnd
1) download DXWND (we will be using this)
You must be registered to see links
(thank you RastaMS)
2) Open DXWnd (for windows vista users the only way to get this to work is to right click dxwnd, go to properties, and change compatibility to "windows xp service pack 2" and click "run as administartor"
3) Navigate to your client your going to be using and double click it
4) in your navigation bar where it will say (for example: c:\\nexon\maplestoryt\maplestoryt.exe) add at the end of the link 127.0.0.1 8484
5) open your server and use DXWnd to open your client
Found out a 2nd way to connect
Connecting to your server with Launcher.bat
Ok i've tested this and it also works (non window mode)
1) Open up notepad
2) type in notepad
start maplestoryt.exe 127.0.0.1 8484
3) Save this as launcher.bat into your tespia client folder
Optional
4) make a shortcut to your desktop and use this instead of maplestoryt.exe
Optional Guides
Adding Channels
1. Open your worlds.lua and it should be like this or a little different
-- World name
world0_name = "Tespia";
-- World channels
world0_channels = 1;
-- World ID (also affects the icon of the world)
world0_id = 0;
-- World Ribbon
-- 0 = None
-- 1 = E
-- 2 = N
-- 3 = H
world0_ribbon = 0;
-- Server rates
world0_exprate = 100;
world0_questexprate = 100;
world0_mesorate = 100;
world0_droprate = 5;
-- What port should the world server listen on?
-- Channels will run on port world port + channel number
-- i.e. channel one will run on 7101 and channel 2 will run on 7102
world0_port = 7100;
-- Uncomment for another world
-- world1_name = "Scania";
-- world1_channels = 1;
-- world1_id = 1;
-- world1_ribbon = 2;
-- world1_exprate = 1;
-- world1_questexprate = 1;
-- world1_mesorate = 1;
-- world1_droprate = 1;
-- world1_port = 7200;
At the top where it says
change the 1 to whatever you like!
for me i'm fine with 2. You don't have to rebuild your server with these =) just restart the server
Now to make 2 channels appear you load your server like this
1) start login
2) start world
3) start channel
4) start channel (yes ad a 2nd one)
Making server Compatible with v56~58
Ok this is fairly simple
1) Re-open Decoder.cpp and change
back to
2) open sendheader.h and modify
to the version of your client, for example make it either
or
3) Recompile your server, re-copy your channel.exe login.exe and world.exe from debug to your main folder and your done =)
I hope this full guide helps people with Vana!
