Yeah she is on a different Network.

Do you think I might not have all the correct ports PortForwarded?

I have 9958, 5816, 5817, 9900, 3306 all open

is there a 5165 source available yet with the roll backs and item upgrade fixed? or anywhere to fix these problems for the source.

There's a few different ways to solve that.

Rollbacks: Always save on modification or make sure you're saving on character dc/server close. Personally I like using accessory + updating specific sql tables vs full character saves as it rules out any possible rollbacks but that faces its own issues, namely efficiency.

ItemUpgrades: I seem to remember that just being an issue where items were double calculating. I'd clear stats and then do a full statbyitem calculation every time you upgrade items or eq/uneq them. It's less efficient but without going into super specific coding styles it's the most fool proof.

Right my sevrer wasnt working because my ports are closed on my netgear router [WGR614V9].

What ports do i need to open for the 5165 source. And to allow incoming connection for people to play.


Is it just 80 and 5958? Also if anyone could provie help other than portforward on how to open them, that would be great. I have been messing about on my router control panel for sometime. I cant work out how it works. I thought i got it right but the game server still cant connect. I dont want to purchase a brand new router with the ports already open just because i cant open them on this router i already have. ANyone who knows what there doin im willin to pay them a small amount of money to do it.

5816 and 9958 - Auth and Game ports (Open these)

80 is your webserver

Has anyone solved the problem with the weapon master on this source yet. everytime you upgrade you seem to become overpowered. If no one is willing to explain the solution in more layman terms, is there any sources where this problem has been fixed and i can download it? Ive been away for a year. The biggest bugs on this source is rollback and weaponmaster overpowering... An after this long, there is still no solution been posted. A few little minor solutions but nothing solid, just people sayin they know and not helping for us to learn.


Other things regarding 5165. I am going to start an run my own server. I am running my game server from my computer. Which I am having rebuilt. I want to know from you guys what you think i should make priority. DDR2 Ram an how much? Is intel duo 2 core processor good enough. Im told it is... I have 20 meg broadband with virgin media.. But only 3 mbps upload speed. This being it is a busy time of the day for virgin media users and they are the biggest broadband service in the UK.

My last server i ran was 5165 flat file. Everyone says ugly source blah blah... But i did have 80 people online at once... With this ISP, and the dodgy source. Which wasnt well coded. They didnt really have lag either. and I was only running on 3.4 gig of ram then, a desktop on xp pro with 2.8 ghz processor. So im just wondering about any opinions u may have. As i am actually having an upgraded tower.. AN what specs i can get to make incoming connections stay smooth the more that log on. Ofcorse im working on the source. I know that needs to be cleaned up. Im wondering about the hardware side. ANy help is greatly appreciated.

Doesn't tell you how to do what? Port forward?

If so then there is a guide on how to port forward.

There is a guide on everything you need to know to start up a server all people need to do is use the search function.

There is a fix for this already released, search the forum.

For a server you don't really need much more than 512 Mb of RAM for it to run, I would say 1 Gb is plenty of RAM to have in your PC. But if you are running VS/C#/C++ then I would advise a bit more RAM. 3 Mbps is not too bad to run a server from since I know a few servers that did do quite well back in the day just running from hamachi on peoples PCs

Your PC will be fine there isnt really much on the hardware side of things that could make the source better, just as long as you have a PC with minimum 512Mb RAM and a core 2 duo or something similar it should be fine
Wow sorry for rambling on there I was on the phone and didn't realise how much I had typed lolol

Thanks alot beats. You and pro4never probably only two people who have ever helped me..

Well for your answers....

I have had 6 gigabite DDR2 ram installed onto a brand new dell motherboard. I have a brand new intel duo core 2 processor, i think 2.9 ghz. My upload speed seems to get better and worse depending on internet traffic. My hardrive is only 200 Gig. As I am hoping to be online 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I have the fan from the motherboard the powerpack, and an extra 2 installed.

The reason for so much ram... Welll the only major flaw in my last server was rollbacks... Some say its the invalid jump... The theory behind that would probably be people are playin on an invlid jump without knowin. An rolling back as the relog. SO anythin they did on this invalid jump wud not save....

Another theory is when the server is being closed via the cmd its not saving all the data. I always remember when i rebooted the server 4 or 5 people out of 50 would always complain sayin there shits gone back to how it was hours ago... Another reboot, and another 4 or 5 different people would complain.

SO I have added 6 gigabite ram as I am going to use the autosave code... Or i might decide to do it manually with a command /autosave for example... Now server may lag as people claim. But i believe If i have enough ram to handle the processes and a good enough processor, as i believe intel duo core 2 is good enough, then i think autosave wont even effect me. The tower i have built is better than most VP'S u can get. I have windows 7 server edition also. And its only goin to be used for the 5165 flatfile server.

Hardware side I am sorted. I know 5165 is messy, and unstable.... But believe me. People who say u wont get 50 people connected or whatever. Trust me its rubbish. I have had almost 100 people online one of the most poorist 5165 flatfile public sources.

If any advice u can give me on how to make this 5165 flat file source more stable, any advice would be good on that. I know i should use my sql, but i like using this. I wont change to sql. So I need to make this as stable as it can be made. I dont want anyone to help me code it. Just direct me with what i can do to stabalize this messed up source.

Why when you reborn on 1st reborn or 2nd reborn, you sometimes go into unknown coordinates and dissapear?now I retested this a few times and it suddenly stopped doing it. Bu everytime i do it for the firdst time on server restart seems to do it on the first try.. So this to me means it cant be something to do with the coding. Is there a release to fix this and if so. Would be great for a link to show me. ALso the attribute points stay the same and u dont carry skills over to your reborns. So in effect 2nd reborn and 1st reborn dont really do anything.......

The problem is obvious. You didn't copy and paste right.
02/23/2011 17:56 snow118#1889
No actually smart a*se. Its because the server is unstable. Nothing to do with copy and paste. My friend has sorted it now by adding a code to teleport you after rebirth. Everything works fine. And your rb script doesnt work... "2nd rb has less attribute points than 1st when you reach 130, i have edited it myself.

If you actually knew ANYTHING about the RB script, I didn't hassle with points.
All I took care of was the hard, long part; Combos with skills. GG.
