Server Set-up Guide
The first thing that you will need to make a server is called Microsoft SQL Server, it is the program that will allow you to make the databases and store them. Other useful things can be done using this program almost all of them.
Installing Microsoft MSSQL
- Extract SQLEVAL.EXE
- Run SETUP.EXE from C:\SQLEVAL
- Click "Next" 8 times
- It will show you a window named Service Accounts
- In Service Settings, set it to Local System Account
- Click "Next" and it will show the Authentication Mode window
- Set it to Mixed Mode(Windows Authentication and SQL server Authentication) and set a password
- Click "Next" to install Microsoft MSSQL
Next thing you need to do is
The password for the files is warrior19
The next step will be to extract the MuServer folder from the RAR and copy the folder in it to the D: drive make sure it dont have double folders like D:/MuServer/MuServer , it should only have D:/MuServer/.
If you dont have a D: drive, then do this:
Go to Run. Type in cmd
Put the MuServer folder in C:\MuServer\Muserver
Type in: SUBST C:\MuServer D:
Make a .exe file called "drivesub". Type in SUBST C:\MuServer D: and save it. Now, put it on the start menu under Startup
Done with that..

Editing The Server's IPs
Following that the next step would be to edit IP files, this will be the files you will need to edit:
D:\MuServer\CS\Connectserverlist.da t
D:\MuServer\CS\data\Connectser verlist.dat
D:\MuServer\CS\data\ServerInfo .dat
D:\MuServer\CS\data\ServerList .dat
Open this files using Notepad or Wordpad, and edit where it says "127.0.0.1" to your global IP that can be found at
Now editing others IP files that are this ones:
D:\MuServer\data\commonserver.cfg
D:\MuServer\data\IpList.dat
D:\MuServer\data\lang\chs\ ;commonloc.dat
In this files search for: 127.0.0.1 using CTRL+F. Then change it to your local IP that can be found like this:
Click Start, Run, and type cmd. When u get to cmd you will type this ipconfig. And it will show your local ip.
The other 2 other files that need to edit their IP are:
D:/MuServer/Links/4.ink
D:/MuServer/Links/8.ink
In this files you will need to do the following: Right click on the 4.ink, Properties, and it will show u a 127.0.0.1 ip overwrite it with your local IP.
In the 8.ink you will need to do the same but it will show you 2 ips of 127.0.0.1, overwrite both of them with your local IP.

Restoring Databases
Open Enterprise Manager, select Databases, right click and Create new Database, name it MuOnline, create another one too named Ranking.
You can open Enterprice Manager in Start, All Programs, Microsoft SQL Server, and click Enterprise Manager.
This is how the restore of the databases will be:
Restoring: Right click in MuOnline, All Tasks, Restore Database. Restore as Select From Device, select Devices, Add, ... , then select MuOnline db backs in D:\MuServer\db baks\ and click OK 4 times.
Restoring: Right click in Ranking, All Tasks, Restore Database. Restore as Select From Device, select Devices, Add, ... , then select Ranking db backs in D:\MuServer\db baks\ and click OK 4 times.

Connecting To Your Server
You will need to have a Launcher and a 97d+99 Client.
*if theres a message saying you need a newer version, download .
