private server wont connect to character server

Post by Haagimus »

So the short version is I used git and this walkthrough
--http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ... a_on_Linux
did everything step by step and it all runs fine. I can log into TMW but after the update window closes when i click "play" it says "connecting to character server" and never progresses further.

when I type
--tmw -U username -P password -s 127.0.0.1 -p 6901 -u
into the terminal i get this
--Error: ItemDB: Error while loading items.xml!
then it just shuts itself down. I have looked everywhere and cannot find this file nor can i find anything via google/forums.

running v0.0.29.1 eathena

any help at all is appreciated. i mainly want to get this up and running on my laptop because i am currently deployed to afghanistan and my internet sucks so bad out here that it makes it very difficult to play this game. if i can run my own server on my laptop it will be much more enjoyable.

Hi,
--tmw -U username -P password -s 127.0.0.1 -p 6901 -u
Ok, as for now, and if I'm correct, the tmw client doesn't load update files when using the -u (skip updates) parameter, ending then in not finding the items.xml file.

To avoid that, you should download the content of the tmwdata repository (if it's what you're using), here:
http://gitorious.org/tmwdata/mainline/a ... all/master
(retry several times if the server is saying that the archive is being regenerated.)

and try this:
--tmw -U username -P password -s 127.0.0.1 -p 6901 -u -d /path/to/my/uncompressed/data/folder
/path/to/my/uncompressed/data/folder <-- To be replaced with the folder where you decompressed the data.

Best regards.

Make sure the char-server is still up. It may crash the first time you use it.

I will give all of this a try and get back to you guys asap. thanks for the quick response.

EDIT: downloaded the mainline data folder, extracted it re-ran the terminal command with the -d trigger pointing to my tmwdata-mainline folder. I no longer get the cannot find Item.XML error however I'm now back at square one. It logs in to the login-server but never logs into char-server. I verified through the system monitor that all servers are running (login, map, char). I manually started all servers through the terminal, and the char server outputs this when i run the tmw command to login:

Attempt to connect to login-server...
Connected to login-server (connection #4).
Awaiting maps from map-server.
From login-server: receiving of 0 GM accounts information.
used: 4, max FDs: 1024, SOFT: 974
Map-Server 0 connected: 58 maps, from IP 127.0.0.1 port 5122.
Map-server 0 loading complete.
used: 5, max FDs: 1024, SOFT: 974
Account Logged On; Account ID: 0.

Also note that the login-server, map-server and char-server are all talking to each other as well, they all, in terminal, are connecting to each other successfully. I also still cannot log in by running tmw without the terminal via my application menu. I am ready for the next suggestion.

EDIT 2: forgot to mention that nothing is outputting a log file either so I can't troubleshoot through that, if I change something to create a fault a log file will then generate so I'm assuming that nothing is faulting here, it's just hanging somewhere in char-server.

You edited your post, so no one knew about the update.

Please attach your client log.

2010-06-11 05:06:04.413: 5 accounts read in save/account.txt, of which is no GM account and 5 server accounts ('S').
---to my naked eye everything appears to be running fine in the log as does it seem in the actual game interface since i can login no problems at all.

i hope that something here gives a clue about the problem, im assuming the char.log file means something i just dont know what......also all that is written in the athena.txt is "150000 %newid%" maybe i need to set something up in here, i have no idea.

Your client also wrote a lot. Try ~/.tmw/tmw.log or ~/.local/share/mana/mana.log.

Looks like the char-server returned an error. Which one was it?

The char-server sent an error. Existing client don't handle that very well. The next client release has it fixed. The next nightly build will have the fix too.
