How-To: Get a Rappelz Private Server running
How-To: Einen Rappelz Privatserver zum Laufen bringen

English version

This post tells you how to set up a Rappelz Private Server on a local machine! Because of this there is any focus on security! For public servers look at the bottom or at other topics.
What you generally need:

Windows 7 64-bit ServicePack 1
At least 4 GB RAM
Concentration
and a brain.

Step1: Installing the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (MSSQLS)
1. Download the MSSQLS from Microsoft
Download it from here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...].
Firstly choose the language. You must choose the 64-bit version.

2. Run the downloaded file which you can find in your download folder.

Step 3: Get the Rappelz Server files
You can use this guide for all Epics of Rappelz, for all releases. I will work with AL7roB_123's files.
Download them from here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] .
Unzip them after downloading.
Also download this file: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] (Credits to GamePortal/).
Unzip it also.

In both downloads you will find these files:

Auth_GamePortal.bak
arcadia8.1.bak
Telecaster.bak

Step 4: Restore and configure the databases (and the user)
They are the database backups from Rappelz. You have to restore them. I will tell you how:

Step 5: Get the servers running
Now look into the previously downloaded folder "Files8.1_By_AL7roB". You need to go into the folder "GameEngine".
There is all you need for running them.
You have multiple servers.

PrincessAuroraServer (in "Auth"-folder): For the authentification of the player (needs Auth database).
CaptainHerlockServer (in "GameEngine"-folder): Runs the game (needs Arcadia and Telecaster databases).
UploadServer (in "UploadServer"-folder; not needed)
LogServer (not there; not needed)

They all have *.OPT files in their folder. There are options which you can change. Now change them.

1. Configure your *.opt files
Text with < and > like "<yourname>" always stands for a value. You must not write the < and >.

You will find in ../GameEngine/Auth/ an "AuthServer.opt" file. Open it with a text editor.
Clear it and insert AND EDIT:

Because you run your Rappelz Private Server on your local Computer your external_ip must be 127.0.0.1 (localhost).

2. Compressing the *.OPT files
In the folder "GameEngine" is a "RappelzCompress_v2.exe".
Run this program and drag the "AuthServer.opt" onto the window.
Do the same with the "GameServer.opt".

You have to do this after each edit in the files.

3. Start the servers
Start the PrincessAuroraServer.exe.
Start the CaptainHerlockServer.exe.

Wait and hope for no error. It should look after a few seconds like this:

3. Type in commands
Type in PrincessAuroraServer "start_service" (Enter) and "set game.open_external 1" (Enter). Without quotes.

Step 6: Client
You can use the official 8.1 client of your language/country.
BUT you have to replace the "SFrame.exe" in your Client folder with a SFrame.exe from the Pillipines Client because it does not use GameGuard. Use e.g. this SFrame: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...].

Now you need to create an own "Launcher" because u must launch with a connection to your server, not to the official.

Create a *.BAT file with e.g. this content:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
START SFRAME /auth_ip:127.0.0.1 /auth_port:8841 /locale:ASCII /country:US /commercial_shop /cash

Move the Launcher.BAT into the Rappelz Client folder and doubleclick it after you started the servers.
