Purpose: To successfully start a private server
Difficulty: 1
Assumed Knowledge: Being able to follow instructions and search websites
Server Base: All
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Procedure
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1
Before you do anything you will need the latest edition of Java JDK.
Note: You should now have Java JDK Update 9 installed and ready to use. If not please go back to the beginning of step 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 2
Now before we download a server, first we need a suitable program to modify the server.
Here are my recommendations (FREE)
Notepad - This if the default program that most will have. Rating: 1/10
TextPad - TextPadŽ 4.7.3 is a powerful, general purpose editor for plain text files. Easy to use, with all the features a power user requires. Rating: 8/10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: You should now have Java JDK Update 9 installed and ready to use. If not please go back to the beginning of step 1
Note: You should now have a suitable program for editing .java files. If not please go back to the beginning of step 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 3
Now we have all the things we need to run a simple server, So let's download one!
Here are my recommendations (FREE)
TestScape - A simple source. Great for beginners
CheezScape 80 - The latest cheezscape source. Great for intermediate coders
Project 16 Version 6 Edit 7 - An updated Project 16. Great for advanced coders
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: You should now have Java JDK Update 9 installed and ready to use. If not please go back to the beginning of step 1
Note: You should now have a suitable program for editing .java files. If not please go back to the beginning of step 2
Note: You should now have a suitable server downloaded. If not please go back to the beginning of step 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 4
So now we have a server and all the things we need to modify it. But before that, we need a program to open the file because most
servers will be zipped into a .rar archive
Here are my recommendations (FREE)
WinRAR archiver - a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: You should now have Java JDK Update 9 installed and ready to use. If not please go back to the beginning of step 1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 5
So now you have a server extracted and ready to use. But when you start it you get a weird error.
Can Not Find Specified Location
Device is not ready
javac is not reconized
To fix this we need to edit two files.
Edit Compile.bat and replace the text inside it with:
@echo off
title yourservernamehere
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin\javac.exe" -cp . *.java
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin\java.exe" server
pause
Edit Runserver.bat and replace the text inside it with:
@echo off
title yourservernamehere
java -Xmx1024m -cp .;./jython.jar;./MySql/mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga-bin.jar server
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: You should now have Java JDK Update 9 installed and ready to use. If not please go back to the beginning of step 1

Note: You should now have a suitable program to extract .zip and .rar files. If not please go back to the beginning of step 4
Note: You should now have a server that compiles correctly. If not please go back to the beginning of step 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 6
So your server should be up and running. Want to test it?
Well open up MoparScape and log-in to your internal IP.
Note: This is either localhost or 127.0.0.1
Note: Username and password can be anything you want.

Note: You should now be able to login to your own server and play it. If not please go back to the beginning of step 6
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 7
Step 7 is split into two parts.
A - Setting up No-Ip
B - Setting up Hamachi
Step 7 - A
First go to the No-Ip site and click Sign Up then register an account.

Now go back to the No-Ip website and login.
Once logged in click Hosts / Redirects then Add
For the hostname type your servers name. For example MyFirstServerScape and then choose an ending of your choice. For example
no-ip.info anc click the create host button.
Now all you need to do is open up the NO-IP DUC and right click then click Refresh Host List
Step 7 - B
First download Hamachi and then run the program and it should provide a small tutorial on how to use the program.

Step 8
Note: This step is only for users with Windows Xp Service Pack 2
Now we need to set windows firewall exceptions for the port that most people use to access private servers.
Go to Start -> Control Panel and then click Open Security Center then click Windows Firewall Which is at the bottom of the Security
Center. Once the windows firewall page has come up click on the exceptions tab. Then lcick "Add Port" and Name the Port as your server
and put the port # as 43594. Then click Ok.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 9
Now all we need to do now is set port forwarding. As every router is different i cannot give you direct instructions. The best
i can do is give you a site dedicated to helping you port forward.
The site is: Port Forward
