Source Code

    Hey jun29, thanks for your help again

    I feel like I'm almost there, but there always seems to be another hurdle to overcome lol


    - I succesfully compiled the server and I guess it's running without problems (see screenshot)

    - Xampp is running without problems (see screenshot)

    - I made an account in Phpmyadmin (name: test, password: test, see screenshot)

    - On the client side, I changed ConfigOptions.xml to local IP 127.0.0.1

    - When running the DBO launcher, it seems to connect correctly to the servers (no failure, see screenshot)

    - However, when I fill in my username and password (test, test), it always says "incorrect password". I don't understand why? I tried with different accounts/passwords, but it continues to fail.


    Important note concerning the Client, I didn't compile it: I'm using the DBO Global 2.0 client from: Development Client/Server Access. Should I compile it from scratch for the above to work?


    Once I got everything figured out, I'll post a noob's guide to running a private server. I already learned a lot but I'm not quite there yet.

    No sorry... but I can install it if necessary



    likely to have to enter root user password

    change mysql root user password, when opening xampp click on Shell after type it mysqladmin.exe -u root (your user) password (your password) after entering click on enter


    Code
    that same password and user you have to put in the ini files to have a connection
    Code
    in the xampp/phpMyAdmin folder look for the config.inc file after opening put your password you put in the shell






    You must put the MD5 Hash in the password field. The Hash for 'test' is '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6'

    Thanks again for helping out

    - When entering the line in XAMPP's Shell, it says "unknown command" (see screenhot1)

    - Can I change the password directly in PHPmyAdmin? (see the same screenshot1): by default there seem to be 5 'users' that all have "no password". It seems I can add a password here. If so, for which user do I need to add a password: "root 127.0.0.1", "root:1" or "root localhost"? (see screenshot1)

    - Thanks for your help as well. Please see "screenshot2": I changed the password to the MD5 hash

    - When I evetually run the DBO launcher, will I just be able to write "test", or do I need to fill in this same MD5 hash?


    Best,

    Code
    insert password in the config.inc file

    Put "098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6" in the password_hash field.

    When you login, use "test" as the password.

    As promised, what follows below is a comprehensive guide "for noobs" on how I managed to set up a local server.

    I'm a huge noob myself, so I did this through trial and error and by carefully reading the comments from the people in the posts above.

    By no means these instructions are perfect: any comments that can improve this guide are more than appreciated.


    Requirements

    Windows 10

    8 GB or RAM


    Find the IP address of the computer you want to install the “private server” on:

    - Use “Windows Search”

    - Find and open “Cmd.exe”

    - Type “netstat”. You’ll get a list. The address at the bottom that’s repeated several times after “TCP” is the local IP address. It resembles something like xxx.xxx.x.xxx.

    - The “local adress” is also shown at the top: 127.0.0.1 (important for later).


    Open ports

    - For this I’ll refer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O74GatVRIK8&list=WL, (the important info starts around 2:35). Watch this for details.

    - You’ll need to open the necessary Ipv4 ports of the IP address you've found in the previous step.

    - Open ports as follows: “Start”: 2000. “End”: 60.000. “Protocol:” Both. “Status”: active.

    - Save this setting.


    Download and install Visual Studio 2019.

    - https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

    - I downloaded the “Community - Free Download”: you’ll get the “installer app”.

    - Open the “installer app”. Look at the top of the screen:

    -> From “Workloads” I selected and installed both “Desktop development with c++”, and “Game development with c++”. I don’t know if this is necessary, but by doing this, the next steps worked for me.

    -> From “Individual components” I also selected and installed “C++ Clang-cl for v142 build tools (x64/x86)” (as per Daneos’ Instructions, saying you need the v142 Toolset: there’s several other v142 compilers you can select, but they didn't seem to be necessary)

    - Click “Install while downloading” and wait for it to finish.


    Download and extract the DBOGLOBAL Masterfile

    - https://github.com/dboglobal. Click “Code” -> Download zip

    - Extract the zip-file to the main folder: “DBOGLOBAL”


    Download and install/extract additional programs

    - Don’t know if this is necessary, but it was suggested by Daneos in the original post.

    - DirectX9 SDK: https://www.microsoft.com/en-u…oad/details.aspx?id=23549

    - GFx SDK: GFx SDK 3.3 -> Extract the “GFx SDK” folder into "DBOGLOBAL/DboClient/Lib/NtlFlasher"

    - Xtreme ToolkitPro: Xtreme ToolkitPro v15.2.1 -> Extract folder into “DBOGLOBAL/3rdParty”


    Compile the private server using Visual Studio 2019.

    - Within the “DBOGLOBAL” main folder, go to the subfolder “Dboserver”

    - Double click “Dboserver.sln”: it will open in Visual Studio 2019 (that you installed in a previous step)

    - On the top bar, make sure "Release" and "x64" are selected

    - On the right side of the screen, find “Solution Explorer”. Under “Server”, right click each server (AuthServer, CharServer, etc.) and click “Build” one by one.

    - The server executable files will start compiling one by one: wait until it’s done.


    Download and install XAMPP.

    - If User Account Control (UAC) is activated on your system, you should deactivate it, as otherwise XAMPP might be restricted. For this, search windows for “msconfig” and open this app. Go to the “tools” tab, highlight “Disable UAC” and choose “launch”. There are four levels: the bottom one completely disables UAC. Restart your computer.

    - Download and install XAMPP here: https://www.apachefriends.org/de/index.html

    - Find C:/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf in Explorer

    - Open “httpd.conf” in Notepad. Find the line saying “Listen” and change the port to “Listen 8080”. Scroll down to “ServerName localhost:” also change this to “ServerName localhost:8080”

    - Open the XAMPP Control Panel: click “Shell” (on the right) and in the prompt, type “mysqladmin.exe -u root password test” to change the server root password to ‘test’ (or something else, depending on your password preference)

    - In Explorer, now go to “c:/xampp/phpadmin” and look for “config.inc”

    - Open “config.inc” with Notepad and change the server root password here as well: after “$cfg (‘Servers”) ($i) (‘password’) =” fill in ‘test’ like above.

    - In the XAMPP Control Panel, start “Apache” and “MySQL” (these will lit green when active)

    - Make sure your antivirus accepts XAMPP.


    Open your browser of choice and type: “localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/”

    - In the left column, click “New”

    - Add database name “dbo_acc” -> click “make”.

    - Look at the top bar: click “import” -> choose file -> go to “DBOGLOBAL/ DboServer/ Database” and select “dbo_acc.sql”.

    - Press “Start” at the bottom of the screen.

    - Repeat this for “dbo_char” and “dbo_log”.

    - Within “dbo_acc”, find “accounts”, and click it

    - At the top: click “insert”.

    - Fill in a username and Password that you’ll use later.

    - For the password, you’ll need to generate a MD5 Hash. Visit https://www.md5hashgenerator.com and fill in the password of choice, click generate. Copy the generated password, go back to “localhost:8080/phpMyAdmin”, and next to “Paddword_hash” change (varchar(32)) to MD5 and paste the password next to it.

    - Click “Start” at the bottom of the page.


    Change the server *ini files.

    - Go to “DBOGLOBAL/DboServer/ExecutionEnv/Config”

    - Open “AuthServer.ini”, “CharServer.ini”, and so on… with Notepad.

    - Make sure all the IP addresses are “127.0.0.1” (should be default)

    - Change the password to the same password as the root of the server, in this case: test.


    Run the server executables

    - Go to “DBOGLOBAL/DboServer/ExecutionEnv”

    - Run “start_master_server.bat”

    - Run “start_query_server.bat” and wait until its done.

    - Run “start_char_server_0.bat”

    - Run ‘”start_auth_server.bat”

    - Run “start_channel_0.bat” and wait until it finished. Then close it.

    - Run “start_chat_server.bat” and wait until its done.

    - Run “start_channel_0.bat” again, “start_channel_1.bat” (if you need 2 channels) and “start_channel_9.bat”


    Download and extract the DBO Client Files

    - Development Client/Server Access

    - In the main folder look for “Configoptions.xml” and open it with met notepad: change the IP to: 127.0.0.1 on each line, and save.

    - Run the client, enter your username and password and you’re good to go.


    All the best!

    Thank you for sharing this.
    I did ALL steps, but im still having issues when i try to run the bat files. I checked my Ports and they are oppened. used 127.0.0.1


    Quote from m4rb

    Now that it's running, I'm wondering if someone knows how to increase the character's speed?

    #setspeed xxx doesn't seem to work

    And in the database, I've been looking into "characters" but couldn't find any speed parameter

    To use the GM code, u need to set your account to GM mode. And you should use ‘@‘ not ‘#’.

    @setspeed xxx

    s9600980 Thanks for the reply!

    However, it doesn't seem to work.

    When I press "enter" to spawn the console, then type a command in the chat, it disappears without anything happening (but it doesn't appear as text either, probably confirming that it was recognised as a command, however without any effect)

    I succesfully changed my account to GM though (I see the GM icon at the bottom right of the screen)

    I don't understand what I might be doing wrong.


    Moreover, I found this PDF attached with all sorts of commands. Does anyone know if this is the full list? Are there other lists available?
