8. How to make your server public (and change default ports)
8.1 General
8.1.1
You must be registered to see links
8.1.2 Write down your WAN-IP (ipv4)
8.2 Resource
8.2.1 Open your Resource folder (K18\Server\Program)
8.2.2 Open the "AccountServer.ini" file
8.2.3 Change BOTH "127.0.0.1" to your "WAN-IP" and save the file
8.2.4 Open the "CacheServer.ini" file
8.2.5 Change the default Cache port "5400" to something else (between 1024 to 49151) - DON'T CHANGE THE 127.0.0.1
8.2.6 Write down the new Cache port and save the file
8.2.7 Open the "Loginserver.ini" file
8.2.8 Change the "AddCache(127.0.0.1);" to your "WAN-IP" and save the file - DON'T CHANGE THE OTHER 127.0.0.1
8.3 Source
8.3.1 Go to the Ketchup Source "All" folder (K18\Source\Source\All) and open "all.sln"
8.3.2 Open the file "kCommon.h" in the Solution Items tab
8.3.3 Scroll down and change NEUZ_IPSET "127.0.0.1" to your "WAN-IP" (you could also change it to your domain name)
8.3.4 Also change the NEUZ_CPORT "5400" to the port you have set in step 8.2.5
8.3.5 Press CTRL + SHIFT + F and search for "23000" (Find All)
8.3.6 There is only one search result, double click that one
8.3.7 Change the "PN_CERTIFIER 23000" to something else (between 1024 to 49151) - NOT THE SAME AS THE CACHE PORT AND TRY TO NOT HAVE THE SAME IN THE PORT LIST (msghdr.h)
8.3.8 Write down the port you just changed (This is the Certifier server port)
8.3.9 On line 1456 (in the same area) you will find "PN_LOGINSRVR 28000"
8.3.10 Change this port (28000) to something else (between 1024 to 49151) - NOT THE SAME AS THE CACHE PORT AND TRY TO NOT HAVE THE SAME IN THE PORT LIST (msghdr.h)
8.3.11 Write down the port you just changed (This is the Login server port)
8.3.12 Save the "msghdr.h" and "kCommon.h" file
8.3.13 Use step 4 to compile the source and copy the .exe files to the right folders
8.4 Firewall

8.4.6 Click "Next" again
8.4.7 Give it a name and click "Finish"

NOTE: If you are using a VPS, this step is not needed (you only have to open the ports in the VPS firewall)
8.5.1 Open the Windows 10 "Command Prompt" window
8.5.2 Type: ipconfig
8.5.3 Write down the "Default Gateway" IP-address
8.5.4 Open your browser and go this Default Gateway IP-address (your Router)
8.5.5 Log into your router (most of the time it's: admin/admin, but check your router, and change the admin/admin login... security risk..)
8.5.6 Go to the Forwarding menu in your router (mine is a TP-Link, yours might be a different one)
8.5.7 Click on "Add New..."
8.5.8 Add your CHANGED ports to the new entry (the service/internal ports have to be the same) - YOU NEED TO MAKE A NEW ENTRY FOR EVERY PORT!
8.5.9 IP-address = the computer your hosting it on (check Command Prompt: ipconfig)
8.5.10 Protocol = TCP
8.5.11 Click save (Don't forget to add all the ports) - CACHE/CERT/LOGIN

QUESTIONS?
As you can see I used specific numbers for the Guide steps.
If you have any questions, please use those specific numbers in your post!
Not sure if this thread is still being updated, but I followed all the way until 5.3.5 and I get an error whenever I start the certifier. "Error: Not Connect Login DB" and then it throws "g_DbManager.CreateDbWorkers Odbc connect timeout." Any help is appreciated
also getting an error log generated "2021/10/24 12:09:24 Not TransServer Connect"
Been looking back over seeing if I missed anything and I can't figure it out.
Hey Ketchup, thanks for the response. I tested that because of the error. I just checked again and all the tests are completing successfully. The only thing that is different from the guide is I did not put NAMEOFCOMUTER/SQLEXPRESS, I put NAMEOFCOMPUTER/SQLFLYFF2021 because that is what is showing up for my database in sql manager. If I put express, I could not choose the default database in ODBC, but with flyff2021 it showed up. Not sure if that matters. And of course I did not set up Ranking

Thanks Groxy, I have went back and restarted the guide from the section that says SQLExpress. I changed everything to match your guide exactly and am still getting the following errors:
-When starting certifier: "Error: Not Connect Login DB" and "g_DbManager.CreateDbWorkers odbc connect timeout"
The only thing I was not able to follow in the guide to the letter was:
2.5.4 Go to the Ketchup database folder (K18\Database) and select "- Edit Me Before Executing.sql" click "Open" 2.5.5 Change "DESKTOP-SH6G9M7" to your own computer name (Right click Windows button, System, Device name)
as there is no longer a -Edit Me Before Executing.sql file in the updated files that Ketchup uploaded.
2.5.3 Top left, click "File", click "Open", click "File.." (CTRL+O) 2.5.4 Go to the Ketchup database folder (K18\Database) and select "- Edit Me Before Executing.sql" click "Open" 2.5.5 Change "DESKTOP-SH6G9M7" to your own computer name (Right click Windows button, System, Device name) 2.5.6 Click "Execute"
I Can't Find "Edit Me Before Executing.sql" the file.

I Can't Find "Edit Me Before Executing.sql" the file.
Its my first time running and playing flyff and Im having trouble making my server public (server works locally), Im pretty sure my port forwarding rules are correct (I have another server with port forwarding rules). Any tips on how I can troubleshoot this?
