I mean , Day by day
new systems and new specs are being released in few years.
But the problem with all who know about A3 server Creation don't want to release any updates.
1st - There are no fresh files to Create this MMORPG server.
2nd - No one has any idea how to correctly install and run this A3 server on Win 7 and Win 8 64bit.
3rd - Currently all files available are not up to date or some thing doesnt work properly.
4th - SQL server 2000 doesn't support this new OS and has problem with DATABASE Backup files which always shows "THE CURRENT DATABASE FILES WHICH YOU ARE TRYING TO RESTORE IS CORRUPT OR CANNOT BE READ"
5th - Tried SQL server 2005 , SQL server 2008 , SQL server 2012. <Still Same Result With Everything>
6th - The Tutorials Available on Forums Are not complete "They Don't Show Minute details which are necessary for correct working of a complete server of A3 "
7th - Those Guys Who have already a3 Server running wont help even if they have a correct solution thus in a way of thinking that "NO ONE SHOULD CREATE THIS SERVER"
8th - My last humble Request to All People who have knowledge , Please Share it , Please. Sharing may keep this game alive.
and RELEASE THE LATEST GUIDE AND UPLOAD WOKING FILES AND SETUP WITH CORRECT TUTORIALS WHICH CLEAR OUT EVERY DOUBT OF SERVER CREATION.
THANKS, HOPE THIS EFFORT MAY WORK OUT FOR ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE HOPING SOMETHING GOOD FOR THIS GAME.
Answers.
1. There is no need of fresh files. All of the current Private A3 Servers are using the same files which are posted in the forum.
2. Search the forum. It have been discussed and solved already.
3. I myself have used the same files and most of the things works properly. Few features like TOD etc won't work, nor it does in any other Private server owned by any of the forum member.
4. This simply means that you have a corrupted set of database files or you are doing something wrong. Retry using different set of files (don't ask me where will you get those files, I simply suggest you to read the threads. SPECIALLY THE STICKIES)
5. Same answer as question number 4.
6. I am working for A3 Development from last 7 years and I too don't know what is minute Details still my files works.
7. If that is so, you skipped reading the whole forum. Logged in, clicked on "New Thread" and started typing this post. If we (owners of current running servers) were not here, you would have found this section of the forum empty.
8. Enough of the files are already shared for Newbies to gear up and create a 100% working A3 Private server within a day or 2. What more you expect?
Quoting your last sentence

You think that typing a Post which contains 13 lines is EFFORT? What do you call it when ppl stays awake for weeks to solve/create something and then comes to the forum and post it so others don't have to do work hard for the same?
None of the Old member of A3 Section will simply spoonfeed you with a FRESH and 100 % WORKING set of files along with a VIDEO TUTORIAL and a Batch file on which you can double click and the server is ready to host. You need to put the EFFORT of atleast reading the topics, Searching when you find problems and then if nothing works (not even google) then posting and asking for a solution.
I really Hate when uses words like "Fresh files" or "Up-to-date Guide" without even trying things.
