[Guide] How to setup hercules

Question

There is an existing server installation guide made by Diconfrost VaNz on this topic but this is outdated. So let me give ample time to share my experience on how to install Hercules SVN on your local machine.

 

1. To obtain hercules, refer to Ind's topic

2. Go to conf/char-server.conf and look for the code below : 

// Server Communication username and password.userid: s1passwd: p1

 

Set s1 and p1 to anything you want but take note of them as you will use them later on when you move to SQL portion of this installation.

 

In my case, i will use patskie since it is my screen name.

// Server Communication username and password.userid: patskiepasswd: patskie

 

3. Set your server name? Find this line also on your conf/char-server.conf. Change it to whatever you want : 

// Server name, use alternative character such as ASCII 160 for spaces.// NOTE: Do not use spaces or any of these characters which are not allowed in //       Windows filenames /:*?"<>|//       ... or else guild emblems won't work client-side!server_name: Hercules

 

4. Remove // on the following code : 

//login_ip: 127.0.0.1

 

//char_ip: 127.0.0.1

Note : 127.0.0.1 means localhost, local machine.

 

5. Save and exit

6. Now go to conf/map-server.conf

7. Same to what you have did in conf/char-server.conf :

//--------------------------------------------------------------//                     Configuration Info//--------------------------------------------------------------// Interserver communication passwords, set in account.txt (or equiv.)userid: patskiepasswd: patskie

 

8. Remove // on the following code :

//char_ip: 127.0.0.1

 

//map_ip: 127.0.0.1

 

9. Once you're done. Save and exit.

10. Now go to conf/inter-server.conf

11. Set the following code :

// Global SQL settings// overriden by local settings when the hostname is defined there// (currently only the login-server reads/obeys these settings)sql.db_hostname: 127.0.0.1sql.db_port: 3306sql.db_username: rootsql.db_password: ragnaroksql.db_database: herculessql.codepage:// MySQL Character SQL serverchar_server_ip: 127.0.0.1char_server_port: 3306char_server_id: rootchar_server_pw: ragnarokchar_server_db: hercules// MySQL Map SQL Servermap_server_ip: 127.0.0.1map_server_port: 3306map_server_id: rootmap_server_pw: ragnarokmap_server_db: hercules// MySQL Log SQL Databaselog_db_ip: 127.0.0.1log_db_port: 3306log_db_id: rootlog_db_pw: ragnaroklog_db_db: loglog_codepage:log_login_db: loginlog

Note : Use 127.0.0.1 as ip because you will run these server on your local machine. Use root as the database id because by default MySQL workbench uses root as username. And finally ragnarok as database password which is configurable by users. Set map, char an sql database to hercules and set log database to loginlog 

 

12. Once done, Save and exit

13. Now go to src/common/mmo.h and find the following code :

#ifndef PACKETVER	#define PACKETVER 20120418#endif

Change to : 

#ifndef PACKETVER	#define PACKETVER 20100730#endif

Note : You can change 20120418 (2012-04-18) to whatever client-date you want. In my case i will use 2010-07-30 client (20100730).

 

14. Save and exit.

15. Now let's go to mysql part.

16. Download MySQL workbench here. Why workbench? More convenient to use.

17. Once you are finished downloading and installing. Download WAMP server here because workbench will not start functioning if you do not have WAMP server

18. Once you are finished downloading and installing wampserver. Run it

19. Open mysql workbench

20. Add user and password into it. Follow this guide. Make sure you set username as root and password as ragnarok because this is the credentials located on your conf/inter-server.conf

21. Create a server instance and connection. Just click New Connection for creating connection and click New Server Instance for creating a new server instance everything there are self explanatory

22. More likely you must have the following : ( Check image below )

post-449-0-53815600-1370176262_thumb.png

23. At the left portion of the application. You can see schemas. Right click on one of them (test schema) and click on create schema

24. Set the name of the schema to hercules because that is the credential we put in our inter-server

25. Create also a schema log 

26. Double click hercules schema

27. Under file located at the bottom of the home button ( upper left to be exact ) click Open SQL Script and locate sql script on sql-files/main.sql, open it and execute ( you can find execute button at the upper portion of the text editor of mysql workbench it looks like a thunder xD )

28. Double click log schema

29. Under file located at the bottom of the home button ( upper left to be exact ) click Open SQL Script and locate sql script on sql-files/logs.sql, open it and execute ( you can find execute button at the upper portion of the text editor of mysql workbench it looks like a thunder xD )

30. Once everything is set double click again hercules schema

31. Execute the following code 

SELECT * FROM login;

32. Change userid, user_pass to the credentials you have put on both char-server and map-server.conf

33. Click apply.

34. Once done, go back to your server files and compile everything using Microsoft Visual Studio 2009 or 2010 or 2012 

 

Note : 

Microsoft Visual Studio 2009 = Hercules-9

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 = Hercules-10

Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 = Hercules-12

 

35. Open it via C++

36. In my case i am using MVS 2010, Highlight char-server, login-server, map-server, mapcache at the left portion of the application. Right click on it and click Build Selection

37. Check image for successful compilation, Once done exit the application

post-449-0-76531700-1370177311_thumb.png

38. Now you're done! Run run-server.bat on main folder

 

 

I hope this guide help other people who find it difficult to install hercules svn on your local machine. Actually this guide is not hard. I just divided the guide into small chunks so that people will understand more. If you think that any portion of installation is not included in my guide or maybe in some way not good or not correct then feel free to post it.

 

Additional Notes : 

- If you want other people to connect then you must port forward your router, or you can use other application like hamachi

- If any error occur feel free to post it here. Make sure you will post it in a detailed manner. Post screenshot if possible

- I include a diff client for 2010-07-30 since i use it in this guide

I'm using MVS 2005, which of Hercules 9, 10 and 11 should i build?

 

I'm not sure but I think there's no current support for MVS 2005. Anyways, try to build the Hercules 9 solution, which is a Visual Studio 2008 solution try your luck.

just wanna ask, this method can already connect other players thru online? or this is just for lan/offline? like server testing...

LAN only. If you want to make other players connect with this. You need to port forward your router.

Actually, personally, this is a Filipino Community and thus this guide should be in Filipino. If anything, since it's solely in English, it doesn't belong in this section of the forums.

 

The best thing to do, Patskie, is create this similar guide all in Filipino while this guide will be moved to the English side of the forum (Most probably under General Server Support). Once you create this guide all in Filipino, you can link between the two topics.

 

Edit~

Topic is now moved

 

This is a English Guide and doesn't belong in the Filipino Guide section since it doesn't contain any Filipino in it.

Patskie, what he means is that when you checkout/clone hercules, there are two folders in the hercules folder which is the branches folder and the trunk folder, his asking what folder contains the correct files to edit.

Thank you for your guide pats! But unfortunately I'm stuck at number 20. Adding user at workbench.

I can't seem to find that part, where to add the user and password.

 

Looks like Mysql Workbench 6.0.8 is different from what you used in this guide.

 

Sigh! When I try to connect to database i got error (see attached files). My WAMPSERVER is all running when I'm connecting to DB. 

 

I'm lost, please help. Anyone pls?

 

Thanks!
