Failed to connect to server, map server is online.

[Amecoeur]

Hello, I've been following the pinned Tutorial by Earnestinence and managed to get the map server running. The 2015 client failed to connect to the server, while looking around in the forum trying to find a solution I found the 2020 client guide by Renzadic, I opted to use 2020 client instead, the installation went smoothly with little to no confusion.

Unfortunately I am unable to register new account with the _M/_F method. I have checked the login_athena.conf and make sure the option is enabled. Scouring the forum has led me to check MySQL login table, I'm certain that it is the same with the video tutorial - username for userid, password for user_pass. Client side between Earnestinence's and Renzadic's guide is a little bit different, Renzadic has his clientinfo.xml in the grf instead of in the data folder, seeing that I failed to connect I have make the file available in data folder as well. Renzadic's guide made a separate new grf, I made sure that the grf is listed in DATA.ini called when patching with NEMO, as "3=new.grf".

The difference I noticed while following the both client guide is when I run the patched client, a some sort of launcher appears. MySQL login table appears to recognise my attempts to log in, as the logincount column increases each time I try to log in.

Here is the clientinfo.xml content

<clientinfo>
	<desc>Ragnarok Client Information</desc>
	<servicetype>english</servicetype>
	<servertype>primary</servertype>
	<connection>
		<display>Local</display>

   	</connection>
</clientinfo>

Here is the runserver.bat status

I got it working somehow several minutes ago. I redid the rAthena.sln step, open it with Microsoft Visual Studio, then clean and build it again. I repatched the client I'm using (2020-04-01b) with NEMO, applying only the recommended setting and the zoom out patch.

As I was using the empty new.grf while tinkering for the solution, everything were in gibberish. I switched to the custom grf I made previously, but somehow the items are still gibberish. The topic is solved, for me at least.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

It seems that your clientinfo.xml is not being read. Try making a new empty grf with your clientinfo.xml and put it as first in your DATA.ini. Another possibility is that you are using RagexeRE which reads sclientinfo.xml (which is the same as clientinfo.xml) instead of clientinfo.xml.

hello, @ashbell thank you for replying.
I tried to switch the grf order with the custom one made in the tutorial and then make a clean one with clientinfo.xml only in the data folder. Switching the order to 1 each attempt. The client simply won't launch. When I revert it back to 1=rdata.grf, 2=data.grf it launches but still yet failed to connect to the server.

Do you even try use sclientinfo?

Did your DATA.ini look like:
0=new.grf

1=rdata.grf

2=data.grf

?

did you try renaming your clientinfo.xml in your new.grf to sclientinfo.xml ?

Yes, on both the client folder and the grf.

 

@ashbell Yes, it looked like that when it failed to launch. When I rewrite it back to 1=rdata.grf, 2=data.grf it launches without connection. I've tried with 0 as first and 1 as first, both yield the same result. Currently I have both clientinfo.xml and sclientinfo.xml in both the client folder and grf, with exactly the same content.

From your last reply it looked like you only changed the positions of rdata.grf and data.grf and still had new.grf on the 3rd position. Just to be completely sure - new.grf has to be at the top position (0 or 1) rdata.grf has to come before data.grf like that it should always work.

[Amecoeur]

I have tried the following

[Data]
0=new.grf
1=rdata.grf
2=data.grf

[Data]
0=custom.grf
1=new.grf
2=rdata.grf
3=data.grf

I am pretty much out of ideas. You are probably hosting this on Windows so maybe try turning off your firewall.
