marko and their doubts (LocalHost)

[Marko Miyamura]

Heya! Well marko returns with their silly questions, I was reading (I do not remember where) you can create a Localhost to play, tested items etc, etc. My question is how I can do that? once completed... I can climb that server to a paid storage service?(So that people can enter and play)

There is some historical code regarding paid, time-limited accounts, but we of TMW don't support that, and in fact I might have already removed it.

Thanks for your answer, I think that's what I read ,About the service, I mean that I pay a service where you can store the necessary files and set up a server as well tmw...That could work?

[o11c]

I don't know a lot about the internet hosting market, but:

Running the server is fairly low in terms of resources (the test server runs on an old laptop) compared to some things, but it *does* require a shell account and a specific public port, which some hosts - especially free (as in beer) hosts - don't provide.

But you're better off just contributing to this project ... everybody always seems to idealize starting their own fork but the only one that has any serious effort into it is Evol.

(also, I don't think the word "doubts" means what you think it does - the topic does not make sense to a native English speaker. And it's very odd to use "their" when referring to yourself in the third person)

[Frost]

o11c offers good advice. The most demanding requirement for a small TMW server is reliable Internet connection and a computer you can leave running all the time.

I suggest you set up your TMW server on something small and easy, like an old PC or a virtual machine on your regular computer. I suggest you install some version of Linux if you can, because that's what TMW technical types mostly use, and so you will get the best support here.

It's difficult to attract and hold players to a small server. Don't spend money on this until you push the limits of your beginning setup.

If you have questions or would like advice, you could ask in the forums. You'll get a faster reply if you chat on IRC in the #themanaworld or #tmw-support rooms on irc.themanaworld.org server.

Good luck and have fun!

I think it is a rather old pc, I'm not sure if can run a server, but at least put up with the test

On the other hand have found some capacitors maintenance and inflated, so you just have to replace them

[Frost]

I think it is a rather old pc, I'm not sure if can run a server, but at least put up with the test.

Your old desktop will easily run a manaworld server. tmwAthena (TMW server source code) should work on Windows, but you'll get more help here if you install Linux.

Good I can install linux I have an installation CD here, I think is 10.04, after of install I will follow the instructions (http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/How_to_Develop)you need it after you could enter IRC for more help, or if you do not mind we will continue the forum so anyone with the same question could view post

[tux9th]

I wouldn't recommend that you install ubuntu 10.04... get ubuntu 12.04 Server
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server
if you're not familiar with ubuntu at all you should maybe install the nonserver version which you can get
http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/

greets if you need help message me in IRC or in Game

I see, Well i already started download it, It is only a matter of time installation and add all dependency and useful files.

[o11c]

I always get the mini.iso and put it on a USB. That way the download is only 10MB or so.

It shouldn't cause much of a problem to *install* from an old CD, but the first thing you should do is do a dist-upgrade.

[Reid]

wait 10.04 is called lucid lynx and is no longer being updated if i remember rightly so its probally best if you update to the next version up so you can at least still get the updates and stuff for it

10.04.4 will be updated until next April. (2013)
As it's an LTS release, it haves longer time of life compared to other releases.

[o11c]

LTS doesn't really get updated, except for a few security updates.

[Marko Miyamura]

Sorry for late reply, Is christmas so need go out >.>
About the pc is ready, but i cant right now, because that pc is in my house and I'm now so far away, is anyway to create a server under Windows xp? just to tested some quest that i already have created. sorry for the inconvenience


Nevermind

I'll run it on my laptop and after try on the desktop pc, but i have found a problem, I already made all the steeps correctly, But when i already run the Localhost and trying to enter on the account says Id no registry, and i cant enter, so what i need to do?
I already following all the steeps on the url of below, and this too
cd ~/tmw-ea/eathena-data/login
ladmin (not ./ladmin)
add <username> M <password>
gm <username> 99
So i don't know why that happen...
