Why I feel this is a good 'starter' source
Official FAQ for this Source!

I've mentioned the possibility of me releasing this for a while. I'm not going to provide much support and I KNOW how few people will take the time to figure out how to set this up so at least it will give me some fun reasons to check into the forum a bit more often the next week or two ahaaha.
This is the source that we wrote for the last version of hellmouth. There's nothing fatally wrong with it (unlike the old hellmouth source I released) and it has FAR more features.
Everyone seems a bit addicted to the leaked trinity sources so I won't bother trying to talk you out of using those instead if all you care about is half finished features.
Warning: We were experimenting with some new ideas and as such this will be FAR from efficient as it once was.. For example, I started to over use the DelayedAction system because it's delightfully simple to use... but it's all based on timers soooo that could be an issue if you continue to abuse that style of coding.
MAJOR WARNING: One of the main issues I had with running this as a live source was the issue with System.Random. I wrote a stupidly inefficient system onto the source which uses a variable numbers of randomly initialized random generators which are cycled through... This is pointless and dumb but I was trying LOTS of fixes. I'm not going to change it for this release. It's simple to alter and the REAL solution would be writing a threadsafe wrapper ontop of the system.random. Then there's no reason to be doing stupidly inefficient stuff like there is in the source right now.
UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS FOR SIMPLE INSTAL!
I've written a simple tool to create configuration files for you. People were getting confused as to how they find machine name and stuff. This does that all for you!
.Step 1:
Download the source:
NEW VERSION 1.1

Original Release:

Step 2:
Download full version of mysql from here:

NOTE: YOU MUST BE USING A FULL SQL INSTAL, REDISTRIBUTIONS SUCH AS XAMPP DO NOT WORK WITH THIS SOURCE
Step 3:
Download Navicat (not required if you prefer other sql management tools) from here:

Step 4:
Download a 5517 Client.
Official TQ Version

Download our patches. Place them inside your conquer 5517 instal and run them in order (1001, 1002, 1003).

Note: you may wish to run the conquerloader vs our play.exe. I will no longer be hosting our patches as of FEB 2012
Step 5:
Extract the source you downloaded anywhere you wish
Step 6:
Create a new database and execute the database backup from the source (inside the /sql/ folder). Easiest to do with navicat but doesn't matter.
NOTE: By default you would be using localhost, username root, password set during sql install.
Step 7:
Open the configuration tool in the main Albetros folder. Run it and enter valid information. Make sure it says configs were created successfully.
Step 8: Create an account in the database. Simply enter a username/password in the accounts field in the database.
Note: To be gm, set permission field to 5
Step 9:
Run the login and game servers from the respective folders (feel free to make shortcuts to simplify the process in the future)
Step 10:
Configure the client to connect to your server by opening LoaderSet.ini in the client folder and changing the IP to your hamachi/external IP (I strongly recommend using hamachi for setting up the source. It rules out the possibility of you not having port forwarded properly. You CANNOT USE 127.0.0.1! THAT WILL CRASH THE CLIENT!)
Step 11:
Login! Note: there's quite a bit to be worked on in the source still. It's not a download/run type station but this will let people at least figure out wtf is going on.
Some Common Commands
NOTE: This also includes our IRC chat bot which allows communication between website and game. This is active based on machine name also (so when testing it won't spam the irc with logins. Only when you host in on your live server).
If you want to leave this disabled then simply don't change it in the source. If you DO want to use it then just search for...
Code:
#region IrcBot init
Someone requested what features it has.. honestly I don't remember but I'll point out some of the main ones..
Finished Features/Nearly Finished Features
Arena: Works but I never bothered tweaking it or testing it so I KNOW it has some bugs
Monsters/Bosses: Including exp, drops, respawns, etc. NOTE: bosses are based on ARROW damage. This is to provide class balance. The only way to tank them is good boots
Refinery/Souls: Bonuses, costs, expiration in time.
Server/Website IRC interaction: If configured you can talk between website and game via irc
Guild War/Capture the Flag/Freeze War/Infection pvp matches: Freeze and infection are fb/ss skill fights
Guilds: Member list, donations, ally/enemy. Needs some npc options for transferring and such.
Server Side Anti Aimbot: VERY effective unless people are smart about how they aimbot.
Pvp Duelist (fb clone to fight yourself)
REAL exp ball system (it's exactly how tq does it therefor the calculations are 100 percent flawless)
Things PURPOSELY not added/removed.
Item downgrading (calculation is all in there. Feel free to code it)
Purification: You cannot make souls/refinery permanent)
Toxic Fog: Code it if you want.
Fan/Tower
Steeds (just removed what ones were available)
Shopping Mall (We are using an edited shop, feel free to change it)
