SroEmulator; how to use

09/04/2006 16:45 XxAnimusxX#1
since some ppl have problems with connecting and some probs with the gg im gonna post a short guide how u can setup Sro-Emu 0.1.3 and login with it. This should be an effective way to solve ur problems, like i did ^_^"

:: DOWNLOADS ::
First of all we need some files to run the emu. I found a emu on my hd, i dont know if this is the newest version but it works anyway ^^just download it @ ur desktop, the usage of these files will be explained later.


:: Preperations ::
u have to do some preperations before u can launch the Emu and login.

- 1 -
Unpack the file Sro-Emu0.1.3.rar into ur game-dir, namly "C:\Program Files\Silkroad\" (or "C:\Programme\Silkroad" for german user).
Attention!
Before unpacking this file u should backup the sro_client.exe-File in ur game-dir. This file will be overwritten if u unpack the rar.

- 2 -
Install Abyss Web Server X1. This won't be such difficult i think :D
After finish installing start Abyss Web Server X1. Now u own ur own (virtual) Web Server ^^ The IP is 127.0.0.1 (for our user who knows more; this is the localhost ^_^)
The root of this server will be "C:\Programe Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\" ("C:\Programme..." for german user)

- 3 -
Unpack the nProtect-Files wich is contained in the SilkRoad_nProtect.rar into the root of the Abyss Server (the folder-dir i wrote above).
I don't know from wich version these files are or even if they are up to date....for me its working anyways ^_^'

- 4 -
now we gonna check if we did all the steps correctly.
(be sure the Abyss Server is running before click....)
Just click at this link: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
If u don't get any error-msg ("site can't be found" or such things) and u could see a Index-Page of SilkRoad, this means u did the steps correctly :D
If not just look at the dir where u have unpacked the nProtect-Files, otherwise check the Abyss Server settings :DD

- 5 -
Attention!
The following step could lead to errors after using the emu if u don't follow the instructions.
Click "Start" at ur taskbar and choose "Run".
Add this line into the inputfield: notepad C:\windows\system32\drivers\et c\hosts and hit the Enter-button.
A textfield should appear with some text and #-chars. U should be able to see the entry "127.0.0.1 localhost", don't ya?
Now copy the WHOLE text i added here and paste it under the entry i meantioned a line above.
Code:
# These are the host-ip's for silkroad-online wich are needed
# to launch the Emu. If u don't want the Emulator to login
# into the game, plz delete these lines, otherwise u won't
# be able to login.
#
# Regards,

202.101.43.216 gwgt1.joymax.com
127.0.0.1 gwgt1.joymax.com 
127.0.0.1 nprotect.nefficient.com 
127.0.0.1 update.nprotect.com 
127.0.0.1 update.nprotect.net
Save this file and close it.
---------------------
now this were the preperations to be able to launch the emu. We should start with it, shouldn't we? ^^


:: the Emulator ::
First of all, be sure that u already started Abyss Server, i wrote the test-link at step #4. Close all programs wich belongs to Silkroad-Online.

- 1 -
Start SroEmu wich is in ur game-dir (server.exe). The first thing u have to do is to create a new account.
For this just click "Tools" => "Accounts" => "Create account" and follow the instructions on ur screen.

- 2 -
Click at the button named "Hook silkroad" and after doing that click @ "Open silkroad".
Now u should see the Silkroad-Splash and the game should start.
Congratulations, u did it ^_^

Also wegen dem Prob von Seismik und fairwind:
ich habe die Erfahrung gemacht das schon ein fehlendes Prog dazu führen konnte das ich ganze Applikationen nicht starten konnte.
Nach der Installation vom Microsoft .NET framework 2 hat sich das jedoch geändert, ich glaube mal irgendwie gelesen zu haben das man dieses sogar gebraucht hat um den Zoomhack zu verwenden.
Ich würde vorschlagen guckt euch mal bei Systemsteuerung => Software um ob ihr diesen eintrag findet, wenn nicht könnt ihrs hier kostenlos runterladen:

hmz das klingt als würde dein pc vb nicht so mögen oder es fehlen paar vb-komponenten in deinem sys :D
haste schon das .NET 2 installiert? :D
09/05/2006 19:06 fairwind#10
frame habe ich schon länger drauf und habe noch extra vbruns installiert 6/7 ;-(
09/05/2006 19:20 XxAnimusxX#11
hmz okay dann werde ich mal versuchen rauszubekommen was dein sys möchte xD kann dir aber nichts garantieren, ich musste schon öfters die Erfahrung machen das manchmal einfach solche Progs bei mir nicht laufen wollten... :(

and what u gain by plain with the emu? u play alone in a virtual server ?
09/05/2006 21:00 XxAnimusxX#13
yupp u won't belive me but i can login between 1-6pm in TROY without any problems since im using the emu :D
so u can even play "offline" if u follow this guide but this won't be good because such things like npc's and mobs are missing ^_^"
09/05/2006 21:13 yatta#14
so u can play till ur items are broken? hehe

can u bot in this sro emu or not ? :P
09/05/2006 21:21 XxAnimusxX#15
ehm u can bot @ the normal game as well, u just need a free bot xD
in the emu it will be detected as well.... :DD
