First of all, thanks for this awesome package. it made the whole process a lot easier to start for me.
i'd like to point out something though. those shortcut batch files you made are pointing to the wrong executables. it says map-server.exe when it's mapserver.exe. same for login and char server. this could explain the errors some people are getting.
There are two ways to fix this. either
1- rename mapserver.exe to map-server.exe, loginserver.exe to login-server.exe and charserver.exe to char-server.exe, which is what i've done since it's a LOT easier.
2- edit the hooks in all the batch files to adapt to the names.
is that it? so i've been going around the conf folder and changing stuff around in every *_athena.conf file, and then changing the sql server to my ip for nothing?
it's still not working for me. i intend to put a server on my permanently-offline 10-computer lanroom. like i said, i've been going around changing ips here and there, and i got all the server applications to see each other. But now i can't get any client, even on the same machine as the server, to connect. i've done what you suggested here already it for some reason it just doesn't work. there isn't even a log of an attempted connection on the login server screen. what gives?
ah, another question. what should i put in the data.ini file for it to read the data folder before reading the GRF?
it currently contains this:
[Data]
//1=rAthena2017PRE.grf // see readme.txt in PRERE/ folder
2=rAthena2017.grf
3=pallets.grf
4=data.grf
5=rdata.grf
[/code]
would this work?
[Data]
//1=rAthena2017PRE.grf // see readme.txt in PRERE/ folder
1=data/
2=rAthena2017.grf
3=pallets.grf
4=data.grf
5=rdata.grf
