:handsdown:Hey all,
It took me a while myself to know all the errors that this thing can bring up, so i thought of making my own tutorial to make sure everyone is possible to create a server, without any problems. If u still got problems, just post it here, and i look if i recognize them, if not, i will help you fix them. I gave up my ep4 server, and deleted all the files, because there was too much whining about my core, so Final Destiny Shaiya is discontinued!
Let's get started, here is what you will need for OPTIMAL performance:
-Windows XP SP3 updated to the max (I know that XP works, i dont give support for other operating systems!) Make sure ur working on a useraccount named Shaiya with as password shaiya123.
-ISS (This is requered for some extra options with the SQL program we are going to use: go to configuration screen, press add and remove programs, go to 3d tab, and make sure ISS is checked! You will need the XP cdrom if u install it from here)
-M$ SQL 2005 STANDARD! No express! you can get a copy here:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
This is a 180-day trial, this will be enough to play around with, for now, we use this. Some people cant download it from here due to land specific search rules, so find ur own copy here:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
The server files:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
You will also need a D:\ drive, if you dont have one, look here:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Dont ask about this in here...:rtfm:
Lets get started
First of all, install all the programs listen above, should not be hard, if you cant do this, give up... ;) With the SQL installation, make sure u use Mixed Mode Authentication Win NT & SQL Authentication with as password "shaiya123". also make sure that in the configuration the connection is set to both tcpip and named pipes! When u activated these things, restart the SQL services to activate the changes.
Forward these ports on your router if u have one:
1433 - SQL (for remote connections like link server used by session)
30800 - ps_login.exe
30810 - ps_game.exe
30900 - ps_session.exe
30901 - ps_userLog.exe, ps_userLog.exe, ps_userLog.exe
30911 - ps_dbAgent.exe
30912 - ps_gameLog.exe
40900 - PSM_Agent.exe
Extract the server files with an archive unpacker, and copy the files to "D:\SHAIYA_SERVER\SERVER". Make sure u use this path, otherwise it wont work! (to check if u have the right path, look in D:\SHAIYA_SERVER\SERVER and see if u have the files in there, and not the folders u just extracted)
Run Install_Server.bat in the subfolder SHAIYA.
Press space at times when asked, no errors are allowed to show up!
If there are any errors, post some screenshots here, and ill take a look at it!
When its done and u have the server patch config, go to Server Setup and press Apply to Windows Registry. When this is done, close the screen, the prompt will tell you to reboot, press space.
After your computer has rebooted, go to your D drive, the shaiya server folder, then shaiya then PSM_Server and open PSM_ServiceMgr.exe in there (copy the shortcut to your desktop for easier maintanance) close it, and open it again. This should give you all green crosses. In the menu Server Setup press on Service Install All. Wait, this could take a while.
When it its done, it should show all services "paused". In the menu Control Service press on Start All Server Service. Wait again. if all services stay on "play" ur server should be running, if not, make sure all config files are right, in psm_client/bin/logs. When it all stays on "play" press right mouse button on Login01 and click on command. Insert the command /vchkoff and press enter. Close this screen now. now do the same with Game in gamegroups, but then with the command /nprotectoff. In here, u can also do /exp2xenable [x] where x is the number of the multiplier of the experience rate ingame.
Congratiolations! your server is up and running and ready for connections. Make sure you use the fully updated client from aeriagames, and patch it with an ep3 client, google the web!.
For people who want to make the game.exe too for the client, open the game in HxD (free download, just google) find ip 72.55.177.194, and replace it for your ip adress. Use local (192.168.X.X) for local connections only, and your WAN ip to play over the internet too.
If you want your server to be public, ONLY change the public ip in the server patch config!, press apply, and restart it.
Once again, if something doesnt work, post here, and ill try to help!
