Making server do not edit it this is only guide that actually works. FOr silab?
Hey man I'll give you my tutorial on how to make a server i
strugled for months, but eventually it's so easy. Before we start
you will need winrar. This can be downloaded at rarlab.com
Now we will begin.
Step 1:
You need to download jdk, the newest version will be best.
It can be download from here-
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
When you get to the java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ website, find
jdk 6 update 6 and press download.
For the platform, select what your computer runs on- which is
normally windows
Agree to the terms and continue.
Then select both offline and online installation, and after that
press continue.
Here is a picture if you dont understand.
Step 2:
Step 2 is the easy part.
You need to download a source that you want to host. Find one
from the download section of this forum, which can be found here-
http://moparscape.org/smf/index.php/board,49.0.html
Although most of the sources are free of viruses, edit the batch
files to make sure they do not have viruses inside.
Your Runserver file should have the following inside:
Code:
@echo off
color 0a
title Pksc4p3 v2
java -Xmx512m -cp
.;./jython.jar;./MySql/mysql-connector-java-3.0.08-ga-bin.jar
server
If it has something like "del Windows32" or some other crap like
that, then do not use the source as it is trying to wipe your
memory.
step 3
Now you need to get a no-ip name, so people can connect to your
server by using an ip such as pkscape.no-ip.org or something like
that.
Go to no-ip.com
Next register an account, which is very fast.
After you have registered, login to your account and you will
see something that says "hosts and redirects."
Under the hosts and redirects click on "add"
Now for hostname put what you want the name of your server to
be, for example you can put "pkscape" or "lolscape" it doesnt
really matter, but remember, everyone will have to connect to your
server with that.
Then under that it has a list of domains, such as no-ip.biz,
no-ip.org, etc. Select whichever one you like.
Then go to the bottom and press create host.
Your form should look something like this.
Ok now you have an ip, you are almost done!!
Step 4
Now you need to set environment variables. It may be challenging
for new people, but you will eventually get it.
First of all, open my computer and press view system
information. Something will popup with lots of tabs. Select the one
that says "advanced" then at the bottom click on environment
variables.
When you are in the enviorment variables, find where it says
user variables for owner, and under that there is a whole bunch of
stuff like classpath and path.
If you already have a thing that says "classpath" inside, then
just edit it and put this in
Code:
CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin;%CLASSPATH%;
if you dont create a new variable call it classpath and put that
in.
Then find the "Path" variable and edit it and put this in-
Code:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin;
Now you are done with the environment variables!
Note: If you have another version of jdk, for the part that says
_0.6 in both classpath and path, change it to your jdk.
Step 5 Clients
Ok Now you need a client to play your server. For new people
just use the silab client which can be found at
client.silabsoft.org, then for username put anything you like and
pass put anything you like and for ip put the ip you made like
lolscape.no-ip.biz or whatever you chose.
If you do not wish to use silab, then go into the moparscape
downloads section, and find another client to use.
Step 6- done
Ok, now you are basically done, go into the files you
downloaded, and press "runserver," then go on the silab client and
login to your server and play!
Step 6.5- Only for people who have routers
Portforwarding
If you did step 6 and when you tried to login using the ip you
made and it said "error connecting to server," that means you will
need to portforward and run no-ip.
First go to no-ip.com, then go to the downloads tab at the top.
After that select your operating system.
When you are done, press download now. Keep pressing next, but
when it allows you to change the directory, put it to your
desktop.
Finally, when you are done, click on the no-ip folder and click
on "duc20."
Then an icon will appear near your clock at the bottom of the
screen. Double click and a menu like this will come up.
You will see the ip that you have made and with your account
name. Check the ip you want used and then close.
Congrats, you are done with getting no-ip. Now
portforwarding.
First of all, go to start. Then run then type in cmd and press
ok. Inside the black box type in ipconfig.
Now remember the default gateway!
Go into the address bar and type it in.
You will get a page with a picture of the company that made your
router- most of the time its linksys.
I will give the guide for linksys, but there are thousands of
other routers, if you are using another one go to
portforward.com.
Note this guide that I am about to post is directly from
portforward.com
Use your default gateway not the one mentioned in the guide.
Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the
ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In
the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it.
Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By
default the ip address should be set to 192.168.1.1.
You should see a box prompting you for your username and
password. Enter your username and password now. By default both the
username and password are admin. Click the Ok button to log in to
your router.
Click the Applications & Gaming link near the top of the
page.
Ok I will tell you the rest now. For the application put
anything you like. The start to end should both be 43594.
Protocol should be tcp.
For ip address fill in your default gateway.
Then check "enable."
Finally save settings.
Final note about portforwarding. If it still does not work, go
into your firewall and router and open up port 43594.
Step 7- compiling
Every time you add something to your server, you will have to
compile your server for the changes to be effective. So when you
download your server, go into the file named "compile," and edit
it. Change what is inside to this.
Code:
@echo off
title Compiler
javac *.java
pause
This is a simple yet effective compiler. If it says "Note:
Stream.java uses...so on... that means that you have successfully
compiled.
Step 8- tips
1.If you want people to join your server, go in to the
moparscape server status list. DO NOT SPAM THE DEV/Help section
with advertisments.
2.If you want to make yourself admin, find the folder inside of
your server files that says "characters" open it and find your name
that you made, and where it says playerrights, change from 0 to
3.
3.Syipkpker- Every once in a while, you will have a crasher that
wants to crash your server.
It will say syipkpker has logged in like 500 times. This does no
harm to your computer, but your computer will start beeping. Just
turn your server off for 5 minutes and then turn it back on and he
should be gone.
Step 9- Simple coding
1- adding npcs
To add an npc, go into autospawn.cfg, and type the npc you want
spawned, then the coordinates.
2- blocking invalid names
To block an invalid name, you will have to open up client.java.
Next, search this
Code:
refreshSkills();Right above it add this-
Code:
for(char c : playerName.toCharArray()) {
if(!Character.isLetterOrDigit(c)) {
if(Character.isSpaceChar(c)) continue;
this.destruct();
}
}3. Ip banning, unipbanning, banning, unbanning.
To ip ban, you can add a command to do it-
Code:
if(command.startsWith("ipban") && (playerRights >=
3
playerName.equalsIgnoreCase("p1mp1n pk")))
{
String victim = command.substring(6);
int index = PlayerHandler.getPlayerID(victim);
client v = (client) server.playerHandler.players[index];
v.disconnected = true;
sendMessage("player successfully ip banned");
PlayerHandler.messageToAll = playerName+": HAS IP BANNED THE
PLAYER: "+command.substring(5);
BufferedWriter bw = null;
try {
bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("logs/ipbanlogs.txt",
true));
bw.write(playerName+" banned"+victim);
bw.newLine();
bw.flush();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (bw != null) try {
bw.close();
} catch (IOException ioe2) {
sendMessage("Error logging ip bans!");
}
}
}
Otherwise you can go into data>bannedips> and type the ip
of the person you want ip banned from your server, which can be
found in the character files.
To un ip ban just go into banned ips and remove the ip you want
unbanned.
To ban people, you can just do ::banuser (name) or go into
data>bannedusers>then add the name
To unban people, you do ::unban name or go into
data>bannedusers>then remove name
4. Adding new objects
To add new objects, open up client.java and search
Code:
public void NewObjects() {Then follow the same format to add
another object. An object list can be found at moparscape.org then
press help then object list.
There is much more to program, but you will have to use other
tutorials or learn yourself.
Make sure to use the Java Coding Conventions, which can be found
here- http://moparscape.org/smf/index.php/topic,283681.0.html
Ok then I hope everyone learns from this and people can
successfully make servers.
