[REQUEST] A more comprehensive guide in setting up Hercules.

[tyr_12]

I've seen this: http://herc.ws/board/topic/968-guide-how-to-setup-hercules/

but I just find it lacking in my current skill level. I'd really appreciate a newbie-friendly guide. Which includes the versions of application, files (including how to know the Hercules version you're using), and some other details like how to set up your SQL stuffs which varies depending on the release of the application. If ever I'm missing out, please enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

kay, here you go: download VertrigoServ (ye, you could use clean mySQL, tho i prefer installing vertrigo). Just google for it.
After you installed, download server from GIT using TortoiseGIT, if its server for localhost, you don't actually need to change that s1/p1 account and password.

then go to conf folder, open map-server.conf

uncomment this:

char_ip: 127.0.0.1map_ip: 127.0.0.1

save, close. open char-server.conf

uncomment this:

login_ip: 127.0.0.1char_ip: 127.0.0.1

save, close. open inter-athena.conf

scroll till the sql settings, put everywhere in

account field: rootpassword field: vertrigodb field: ragnarok

then open browser, type 127.0.0.1, go to PHPMyAdmin, type in root / vertrigo (acc / pass) create new db ragnarok and import main.sql + log.sql files from server/sql folder.

now go to server/src/common/mmo.h and find this lines:

#ifndef PACKETVER  #define PACKETVER 20131223#endif // PACKETVER

change the date to yours EXE date. recompile server. Now the server side is ready (if i didn't miss anything)
