Your Own Private Server

This guide will help you to be able to create, launch and run your very own Mu Online Server. The files that are located in this guide are provided by CoderzFactory.org and are custom done by one of the Coders Named Endi. If configured properly you should experience no bugs or issues with these files. This will give you full Season 3 Episode 1 files. The Season 3 Episode 2 files are currently being worked on and a guide with the files contained in it will be released soon. I hope you find these enjoyable, and to your liking.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This procedure has been tested 3 times.

Result => Everything works fine, no crashes (3 whole days up with 2 users online).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The files in this guide are all made by Endi and released by CoderzFactory.org. I just packed the files and the most recent updates (till 2j) in one archive so it'll be easier to use. I also put a backup database for the Event Server though Endi recommended to use only 2 Databases - MuOnline and Ranking (its better organized and works just as good). The only files edited by me are the shops (I was too lazy to download Endi's :P ).

OK, so let's begin! I hope I won't bore you so much :).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1:

Download the package from here - http://rapidshare.com/files/131904399/MuServer.rar.html

Next you move the file to C:\ (Optional) and extract like this: Right mouse button=>Extract to Mu Server.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2: Note: I assume that you have MS SQL Server 2005 installed (I'll add help for it later).

Now, open Enterprise Manager and create a new database as follows:

Microsoft SQL Servers=>SQL Server Group=>(local)=>Databases

Right click on Databases=>New Database...=>Name: MuOnline=> Press OK

Repeat this until you have these 3 databases:

MuOnline

Ranking

MU2003_EVENT_DATA

(Note: Don't close the Enterprise Manager)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3:

Next you have to restore the databases from the files located in C:\MuServer\DB Backup. How to do that you ask? It's simple, no...

Right click MuOnline (the database)=>All Tasks=>Restore Database

A new window should appear. Do the following:

(In General) Press the "From device" option=> Select Devices=>Add=>In the "File name:" put C:\MuServer\DB Backup\MuOnline=>Press OK(x2)=>Now go to "Options" (look at the upper left corner)=>Check "Force restore over existing database"=>Click "MuOnline_Data" and put C:\MuServer\MuServer\DB (do the same with MuOnline_Log).=> Click OK

You have to repeat the same procedure with the other 2 databases, just replacing MuOnline with Ranking and MU2003_EVENT_DATA.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4:

In the folder C:\MuServer\DB Backup there is a file called ODBC.reg. Run it=>Click Yes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5:

Now we have to change some IPs. To check your IP go HERE and copy your IP.

You need to change all the 87.121.31.79 to your IP in these files:

C:\MuServer\ConnectServer\Data\ServerInfo.dat

C:\MuServer\ConnectServer\Data\ServerList.dat (don't remove the ")

C:\MuServer\Data\lang\kor\commonloc.cfg

C:\MuServer\Data\commonserver.cfg (there are 4 IPs here)

C:\MuServer\Data\IpList.dat (don't remove the ")

C:\MuServer\Data\MapServerInfo.dat (don't remove the S in front of the IP)

C:\MuServer\DataServer\AllowableIPList.txt (type it like "T H I S" not like "T.H.I.S")

C:\MuServer\DataServer1\AllowableIPList.txt (type it like "T H I S" not like "T.H.I.S")

Now to replace the 87.121.31.79 in some of the shortcuts that are located in C:\MuServer\link.

Press right mouse button and you will see the IP on the line "Target":

06-JoinServer.exe (don't remove the "ca" in front of the IP)

09-Exdb.exe

10-ChatServer.exe

11-Gameserver

12-GameServerCS

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 6:

You also have to change the SQL account and password to yours in these files: (change "sa" to your SQL account or leave it as default and 600944 to your SQL password)

C:\MuServer\EVENT_SERVER\DATA\svconfig.ini

C:\MuServer\RANKING_SERVER\svconfig.ini

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 7:

To configure your server rates go to:

C:\MuServer\Data\commonserver.cfg

There you will find all the rates to change to your desired ones.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 8:

To start your server you will have to run all the shortcuts in

C:\MuServer\link

Start them in this order:

1 - 00-DataServer

2 - 01-DataServer

3 - 05-ConnectServer.exe

4 - 06-JoinServer.exe

5 - 07-Event.exe

6 - 08-Ranking.exe

7 - 09-Exdb.exe

8 - 10-ChatServer.exe

9 - 11-Gameserver

10 - 12-GameServerCS

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Though you are finished with setting up your server you can't enter it without the proper client.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 9:

To enter your server you need the following files:

1.02R+ Full Client http://muweb.nefficient.co.kr/muweb/MU1_02R+_Full.zip

1.04J Patch (extract to Client folder) ftp://muonline.nefficient.co.kr/pub/muonline/MU1_04j_Patch.zip

My Patch (extract to Client folder) http://rapidshare.com/files/131913753/Local.rar.html

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 10:

You must edit this main.exe http://rapidshare.com/files/136116510/main.rar.html with THIS > http://seeitworks.com/index.php?dir=Editors/hexedit/ hex editor.

Find 87.121.31.79 and replace it with your IP.

Your other option would be to use the Sky Team’s Launcher builder, however this is not recommended.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 11 Note: Only for router users!

Put your default gateway in the internet explorer and open these ports:

44405

55901

If you need help with finding out how to open your ports, I would suggest http://www.portforward.com as it contains useful information for most common routers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that simply run main.exe!
