What Visual Studio C# Should i use? Does 2010 still work then?

Sorry for this stupid question.

Can someone tell me how to make it so characters can get virtue points on this source? I think its coded into the source allrdy but not sure look this is what I found.

{
Exp = (uint)(Benefit * e);
if (Attacker.MyTeam != null)
{
foreach (Character C in Attacker.MyTeam.Members)
{
if (C != Attacker && C.Alive && MyMath.InBox(C.Loc.X, C.Loc.Y, Attacker.Loc.X, Attacker.Loc.Y, 18))
{
if (C.Level + 20 > Level || C.Level >= 70)
{
C.IncreaseExp(MaxHP / 10, true);
}
else
{
uint Amount = (uint)(356 + (C.Level * 27));
byte Lev = C.Level;
C.IncreaseExp(Amount, true);
for (; Lev < C.Level; Lev++)
{
uint VPAmount = (uint)Math.Max(1, Lev * 12 - 17);
Attacker.MyTeam.Leader.VP += VPAmount;
Attacker.MyTeam.Message(Packets.ChatMessage(45216, "SYSTEM", "ALL", Attacker.MyTeam.Leader.Name + " gained " + VPAmount + " virtue points.", 2003, 0));
}

Nvm I did it like a boss :P

I am trying to make my own V5165 server, hosting it on my desktop(W7 x64) computer at this moment(when everything is working and I added my own NPCs/features, I will host it on a dedicated server/VPS).

I got it as far as it being online and being able to create accounts.

When I try to log on the client turns black for about 5-10 seconds and then it says this:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Even though the client can see that the server is online:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
When I turn of the server:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
By this I assume the server is online, and the client is working.


Do you guys have any suggestions why I can't connect?

I am kind of new to the world of making my own Co Private server, so if more information is required, please tell!

Check the IP and port you're using as well as the sever itself. Also, you should be posting this in the 5165 official FAQ thread instead but not an issue currently. A mod will move this for you.

The client can see that the server is online (the green bulb), therefor I think I can assume that the loader is using the right IP/Port?

No.

If you get server maint msg it means it never connected to the auth server at all.

I rechecked all IP addresses+ports and I got a little futher now:

It loads for about 10 seconds(the load bar goes about 1cm), then it gets stuck at connecting to logging into account server
Error message:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Then that means you've corrected the ports and ip for the login server, now you need to do the same for the game server (likely the server side response is telling the client the wrong ip or port.

I have double checked all IPs/Ports on the serverside, they were all correct.


One thing that I don't really understand.. The config file in OLDCoDB is:
[Database]
GameServerIP=<My IP>
ConquerPath=C:\OldCODB\
WebServerPort=8080

[MySql]
User=root
Password=<My password>

There is no refference to what database it should be using?

C:\OldCODB is your database. It uses a flatfile one not sql.

Assuming you're using most versions of 5165 at least.

Okey, then that question is out of the way...

Still, I can't seem to figure out why I can't connect...

Can anybody help me, I just want to host my one player private server for myself just to see, I already got the client from here [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], I got the 5165 that is not cracked client but I found from a site that had cracked client + cracked server.data so I got that and all setted up but when I open my server and login with the credentials it just quits conquer, i put in ip 127.0.0.1 that's all.

You cannot use local IP's.

Hey does anyone have basi map for 5165 newestcoserver and a damage calculator, I am starting to learn how to make a private server and I want to just complete these 2 last objects before I reverse engineer the source I have and try and attempt to make a 1.0 server from scratch or using someones base source

My source seems to be missing the map or it is just not loading it I dont know how to edit maps to duplicate the 2nd AC map and change its ID for using it as a AZ map maybe someone can upload a map which is same as slow apes map but with diff ID so I can use it for AZ basilisks and alien serps

Alot of Adventure Zone using a dynamic map system where they duplicate alot of Ape City maps and change the portals.

You either need to create/use the dynamic map system, or copy the map files and rename them and add the maps manually to the client.

How do you duplicate the ape city map then? Could you please explain that to me thanks

Or could anyone tell me what the map would be called in the database file if it allready exists and that it is just not being loaded
