I need help in configuring my RO client to be able to connect to my server. First of all please treat me as a newbie. Second, the last time I play RO probably a year ago and the last emulator that I have at least tried to play around is eathena (long long long ago). I do read, search and find both in Google, Hercules Wiki and This Forum for informations, but there is so many random things that makes me wonder what am I looking at exactly. So.. kind members please do help this poor guy.
My Private Server was setup in a server located somewhere, with a panel that can access all the server files - https://www.dropbox.com/s/xzhcfo1aaweg2jb/ropanel1.jpg
All three server are online - Login, Char & Map.
Server side was setup by my hosting provider.
I do not want to trouble them with question regarding client side - because I want to learn many things myself and I want to refrain from asking them silly question like - What is this? What is that?
My problem as I indicate in the title - How do I connect to this server they created for me?
Here what I have done.
Downloaded latest kRO installation and the small client package.
Created clientinfo,xml and fill in the settings according to the instruction in here.
Use the provided hercules.exe but it says failed to connect to server (upon login)
Tried to follow the instruction here but stuck at Client Side - Diff your client (No idea what does this mean)
Well that pretty much it for now. Before you guys start to bash me (just saying), the reason why I want to do everything by myself is because I want to make this RO server as my own playground. So I can learn how to design maps, items, scripts, - everything that will make me perfect my own server. Its a playground to improve my skills. I found out that Hercules is the newest emulator with the most active community - which is why I requested for it upon server setup. Waiting for many-many helpful comments! Thanks. Jolnar
