[Guide]How to set up a Private Server using KoS Source(Hamachi)

[stiggydude]

Incariuz could you lend me a hand?

[Incariuz]

What exactly is it you need to know?

[stiggydude]

Ive set up the entire server.. but when I click the 'Listen' button, a error pops up?

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


That's the error? Can you help?

What I mean by that is, I want to make a celestine NPC. I can only make 1 item required for making the celestial stone, regardless of whether or not I could make an amount of 1 specific item needed, still was rough. Or if I wanted a promo NPC, could only gain the job change as a reward, couldn't add an item as well.

I thought of going through it all and trying to remake the functions, but... I didn't know much about anything yet so... I left the source.

It does have great potential if you ask me though, runs extremely smooth, and with the right touchups, well... You get my drift.

I personally made a one color barber, look for it inside the npc dialog to have more than one reward =| ...

And how to Edit Xp Rate and Prof RAte

read the full thread please, im trying to figure that out =p, one of the main coders for the source now, made a skeleton of the packet file... though it failed, we both believe it can be "persuaded" to work

ANNOUNCEMENT!

As you know, its December 1st... and i've said many ah times, "I will be building a team in December"

so here we are.

I need the following:

Assistant: I need someone who can really work without me, this is a hecktic moment for me atm, well for the next 3 weeks anyways... I have over 10 Performances I have to play at ⌐_⌐. This SINGLE person will basically take my place... while im still mainly in charge...
[Required: Someone who know basic programming, of at least- VB, C, C++, C# | Can be better than me, can be noobier than me. | Has to be a Kind social person, but who dosnt let people run over them. (you cant be a half good guy, and half ass hole like me =3)]

Programmers: Any experience welcomed... Lead Programmers will be picked later... I really would like people who will really get into this source and use this it. That way, there no "I dont want to do this"... or at least less of that.

Client Editors: I'm a nice guy, I would "eventually" <--- key word there like, to teach people how to add their own custom stuff to their game... to at least give them the ability to be different... be warned, there is no such thing as keeping your client edits secret... unless you really know how to hide them...

People who are against this, to back the **** off: Look, usually im an extremely nice guy... but i've learned that i cant be that way on EPvp. If you're against this project, thats cool, im not gona knock it towards ya... just dont go flamming crap...

(Honestly I know this isnt a real bbcode... although it'd make a good one O_o
[Flame]
-I've already told you that im not the one who coded this, i havnt "stole" anything, i've admitted im not that experienced in C#, im a VB user. This Guide is mine, If there is ANY crap saying this... it'll just prove that you're an idiotic newbie who cant do the simple task of reading a complete topic... Thank you, have a nice day =3- Zane Blalock-
[/Flame]

(going into 1st post.)

[Incariuz]

One sec, going to download this version to see what it is you may need to do. I know a few of the versions worked slightly different.

[stiggydude]

Kk

TheCoServer when I bring up begins to load, then comes to the box with Listen,
but after when I press listen, that error automatically pops up..

[Incariuz]

Ok... First make sure to get your IP and place it into your clients server.dat

Then go to bin/debug in the source folder, open server.ini, and put your ip in it aswell.

After that, click the .exe to start, press listen, and it should work. If You're not using hamachi, and have a router, you need to port forward.

Edit: I just did it, got no errors at all. so I wouldn't know what else to tell you if that doesn't work.

Edit 2: @Zane, this project sucks ***.... >< j/k, it really does look like it has potential.

What did you mean when you said you need a client editor? Like just skins, items edits, etc?

And who knows, maybe I'll put a bit of time into helping on this if you get a few people on the team. I still check Juki's forum time to time for activity on it, but never anything.

I know I have some txt files hiding somewhere on my computer in regards to the functions on this source. If I find them, I'll write up a few small tutorials on how to do stuff on it. I unlike many took the time to read through about 200 forum pages worth of info to figure out all the available options for this source, and how to change things in it. ><

Thanks, so can i count on you for joining the team?

and like i said, Tao did the skeleton for the mobs, it was the Lotf version, be he redid to try to work with the functions of this style... was that mob edit even in the source i uploaded? If so.... then i honestly uploaded the wrong one... if not, and you're talking about a different copy of a code part, then please do let me know what it is.

as for stiggydude, honestly i have no idea what the problem is... i've never seen any error like that before.

are you using vista? have you edited anything? Did you use the right IP, and did you change the port(you're not suppost to, if you didnt please dont try and change it).

[zane203]

OH I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS!... i think... Testing... will edit later if still last post...

edited

wasnt able to find the EXACT problem, but with me, you dont need to click listen... it already starts due to the server.dat file set up...

maybe you have a firewall/scanner/some-program that is blocking it.

for example i had to unblock the server file from all 4 of my defense programs.

[stiggydude]

i use vista.. is there any errors with using that? I got adminstrative system off to where it won't block anything though.

[Incariuz]

Oops, Edit my post while you responded. Yah, perhaps I'll help if you get a few people on your team. Doesn't mean I'll ditch my current project, but I will do what I can.

I completely forgot about the fact that this source has issues with vista too. Been awhile.

But ya, everyone using vista complained about this source in old threads. Never worked for them.

[stiggydude]

**** vista always has something wrong.. could any of you teamview with me and see if you could perhaps, fix it?

[Incariuz]

I myself wouldn't know how. I know nothing about vista, I think I used it for maybe 2 hours since it was put on the market. Got sick of it and formatted computer.

Anyway, off to bed for me.

[stiggydude]

zane what about you?

[zane203]

XP user, never touched a Vista... i want a laptop vista but thats about it.

uhhh yea but its not gona work for vista... i think a few people got it to work using a converter or something...

as for Incariuz

yes i am aware that the source is really bad, but like you said, potential is obviously displayed here.

as for the client editor, yes thats exactly what im talking about. I knew only one guy who new how to litterly MAKE a weapon through editing the client... sadly he removed his guide before i could make my own personal copy... oh well.

and as for getting the team, i just started building today.
