Newbie Problem

[Jokko]

Good day guys. I'm still new to the forums and new to this business of creating private servers. I have played RO for almost 10 years now but it's just now that I wanted to learn about creating private servers.

I have already downloaded kRO renewal client from ratemyserver, 3CeAM SVN SQL Trunk release Rev650, and MySQL.

I followed some guides here and I finished editing conf files on 3CeAM folder and set all IP to 127.0.0.1. Then I installed MySQL and was able to create databases named ragnarok and log, just as what the tutorials say. Then created a clientinfo.xml on ../RO/data/ . Then downloaded kROragexeRE0730a from http://svn.games-service.net/.

So far, when I run 3CeAM-SQL-650[Trunk]/runserver-sql.bat and run RO/kROragexeRE0730a.exe, i can reach until creating a character then can't enter afterwards. And, there's a lot of "NO MSG" lying around.

Hopefully you can help me 'coz I'm really interested. Thanks!

Get the latest msgstringtable.txt and make sure your lua files matches your client date.

[Jokko]

Sir, I downloaded a "Ragnarok Renewal English Data w. Lua's" dated 2010-11-16. Do I just copy and paste this data folder to the ../RO/data ?

How do I make sure my lua files matches my client date? Thank you.

[jTynne]

Make sure the client you're using is noted in mmo.h with the correct date, then recompile. Also, if you're using a client past 06092011, you may want to go back to 03152011.

[Jokko]

Just plainly changing the mmo.h with a text editor and then saving won't do the trick? I downloaded a hexedRO named "2010-07-28aRagexeRE Patched". Is this good enough?

[jTynne]

No, you have to recompile the project for the change to go into effect. =X

[Jokko]

Currently downloading Visual C++. Will post here after I change mmo.h and recompile it.

So far, I can login to ragnarok just fine. I can create a character but when I try to enter, I get a Disconnected from server message. This must be because of the unedited mmo.h.

[Mirage]

Usually when you get a "Failed to connect" message it is an easy change in the conf folder by checking your ips in char_athena, map_athena and subnet and/or lua files could be old. Check both.

[Jokko]

I'm not getting a "Failed to connect", rather I get a "Disconnected from server" when I try to enter my character. I can create characters just fine.

I really don't know how to check if my lua files are old. I'm still waiting for my VC++ download then try editing and recompiling my mmo.h and hope that works.

[Mirage]

Yeah, get that going and recompile and I'll help you more from there. If you want, you can i.m. me @ [email protected]

[Jokko]

Hey, thanks a lot Mirage. Still installing though. I will keep you guys updated on my progress. Thanks a lot again!

[Jokko]

Hey guys, I have already edited mmo.h and have recompiled successfully. I got this message after recompiling "========== Rebuild All: 9 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========" so I guess recompiling was a success.

I'm still getting the Disconnected from server message when I try to enter with a character though.

[Fjaan]

just wondering when u turn the server on using runserver sql . bat all of them are on & working without errors & connected to each other right?

[Jokko]

Yes, all of the 3 servers are running just fine.

I tried something different:

- Used kRO Renewal Client

- Used stable folder from https://rathena.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rathena

- Used and diff'd 2011-06-09aRagexeRE

With this different setup, mySQL worked fine. 3 servers went fine when I ran them. When I opened the diff'd RagexeRE, I get a failed to connect error when I logged in. But if I try to login with wrong details, it gives out a Incorrect password message. So yeah, a different problem with a different setup.

[Elven]

Check what client you using. Read GRF or data folder?

It could be your clientinfo.xml.

[Jokko]

I matched the mmo.h file with the client I'm using. What do you mean read GRF or data folder? Sorry.

My clientinfo.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="euc-kr" ?>

<clientinfo>

<servicetype>korea</servicetype>

<servertype>sakray</servertype>

<connection>

<display>SonicRO</display>

<balloon>HOVER BALLOON</balloon>

<desc>DESCRIPTION</desc>

<address>127.0.0.1</address>

<port>6900</port>

<version>25</version>

<langtype>1</langtype>

<registrationweb></registrationweb>

<aid>

<admin>2000000</admin>

</aid>

</connection>

</clientinfo>

Just an update. Done with port forwarding but I'm still getting a Failed to connect message.

Boo, tried it after 2 days and still getting the same error. Can anyone help me on this?

[CalciumKid]

Check out the latest copy of rA and grab my Miruku client + basic data folder. That should get you going.

[Judas]

yep that should do it!

[LCDTheOG]

also when u recompile, depending on what ur using u should only be recompiling 3 files, not all 9 XD, so if your using txt recompile just the txt ones, if ur using sql only the _sql ones it speeds up the recompile =o
