SQL Server 2005 - x32/x86
Navicat Lite
Lots of you have errors, server errors, client errors, and straight up to having no server in the Server List.
So, this is the tutorial.
(I saw nothing that said to install Microsoft Loopback Adaptor in shining's tutorial... sorry I have to post this!)
Alright.
Download the files.
In SQL Server 2005, select your version of Windows, sorry about Mac, I dunno how to do that. Use Parallels or something.
1.Install SQL Server 2005 with a password (SQL Mixed Mode), be sure to put that in, leave the instance name as it is (SQLEXPRESS).
2.Install Navicat.
3.Open up Navicat.
If you have made it through this, you don't have no brain.
4.Create a new connection. Use SQL Server.
You may be asked to install SQL Native Client, but it's one of the rare things.
5.Put in your details.
6.Create databases gc and stat. You don't need web. Web is useless.
7.Restore the Databases. Search up a tutorial if you don't know what I mean.
8.Go to gc, and find ConnectStatusIP. Stay there!
9.Go to Control Panel, Classic View and click Add Hardware.
10. Press Next, and then wait, after that, click "Yes, I have already connected the hardware."
11.Select Add a New Hardware Device from the bottom.
12.Click the one that says "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)".
13.Select Network Adapters.
14.Find Microsoft, then find Microsoft Loopback Adapter, then install it.
If you have made it this far, you are not that stupid/not a noob.
15.Go to that connecting computer thing on the taskbar part next to your time, then that should open settings, go to Properties, and select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
16.Click "Use the following IP address:", then in IP address, type in 1.2.3.4 and in Subnet mask, just click it.
17.Apply it and type in 1.2.3.4 in all of the boxes with the row that says something like "ServerIP". In ExtraFlag, type 215 for all of them.
18.Do what you just did with MsgRouter and MsgServer, same with the 215 part.
Heheh... you really aren't stupid now if you made it through.
Well, lets config the DSN files.
19.Open up GameServer, open up the .dsn files with notepad and in Server= part, type in the server name in SQL Server.
Don't touch anything else.
20.Same with the ones in the other folders. In GameServer, you aren't done. Open up Config_Server.lua with Notepad, and find:
21.Find "SeuIP" and type in your IP there.Init_NCashBillingInfo ( 'SeuIP', 9500, 5, 4, 'odbc_internal.dsn')
Go back to the folders, and open up StartAll.bat, and you should be good to go!
If it doesn't say something with LUA on the bottom, you did something wrong! D:
Alright.
1.Lets go hex the game.
2.Replace the main.exe from the .rar file to the one in your client.
3.Open the main.exe up and find LoginServerIP (with caps) in the hex editor.
4.Replace what is there with your IP and you are done.
Starting up the game...
Start main.exe with the arguments:
__kogstudios_original_service__
If i'm wrong, correct me!
END OF TUTORIAL
I may do a video... IF I have about 1,000 views and atleast 10 successful servers from this guide.
