Setting up rAthena Server

[Hypernal]

First, I want to know what are the difference between these builds:

https://rathena.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rathena/branches/bs-coreoptimize/

https://rathena.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rathena/branches/charmerge/

https://rathena.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rathena/trunk/

Second, how do I setup a TXT server (not SQL) or a server that doesn't need MySQL?

Thanks!

Use the Trunk version, the other two are developmental. TXT support was dropped half a year ago: http://rathena.org/board/topic/57717-r15503-txt-save-engine-removed/

Thanks!

How do I use the rAsql? Is there any guide?

Where do I put the rAsql folder before I run mysql_start.bat?

That might help.. Maybe not.

What does the port forwarding do? Can I skip that step? I think my IP (192.168.1.102) changes everytime I turn on my laptop.

Not exactly sure, I've always done it though.. You can try skipping it, but I believe it'll cause problems.

So it will be impossible to set this up in school if I can't connect to school's router?

Unafraid to face santions? There are reasons why rules/restrictions are set by schools. And rAthena wants its user to be more responsible. Unless

they allow what you are about to do or did.

There's no such rules (eg. playing games while in class) in our school. The only reason of the router's username/password is for security purposes alone. Almost all establishments have it on their wifi (router). Also, I just used school as an example of incapable of accessing router page.

Also, what "MySQL" do I need? As I've seen on the video, Millenium used MySQL Query Browser. I googled it and found a 3mb installer. Is that enough? Or do I need to download other MySQL applications? And, what is the purpose of XAMPP?

Thanks!

Allow me to answer, even this is my first post

MySQL Query browser is tools for the database, check, delete, rename, even drop the table, etc2. It is enough, just download MySQL Query Browser.

The purpose of Xampp is to emulate your own hosting on your PC, in other words is making your PC act like a web server, so you can emulate server in your PC. Example, you want to create website, you need Xampp to create local-host on your PC. Basically Rathena is emulator for Ragnarok server, means you need local-host / web server to run the emulator itself (Sorry for my bad English). Hopefully this can answer you questions.
