Hi everybody, I am trying to setup an eAthena server for playing The Mana World 0.28.1.

I have setup the server without problems, but when I run the client and I connect to the server the clients says after login: Error: ItemDB: Error while loading items.xml!

I can register new Accounts and Login, but cannot play, always I get the error.

I have look in /usr/share/games/tmw/data and there is not items.xml .

Any help?

I am using Ubuntu, TMW 0.28.1, and eAthena Server.

Thanks and forgive my english,

That file is part of the content updates the client downloads after you log in. Set the update host in your login-server configuration back to updates.themanaworld.org .

Thanks very much!!! But, I have a problem, I am behind a proxy server with authentification, I know I can export the proxy enviroment variables and run the server, but can I download only once the update?

It's posible to setup the server in a local network without Internet just copying the server and the client ? Alway I have to connect to internet to do this?

You could just play with unpacked content files. That way you don't need an update server. Detailed instructions can be found here: http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopi ... =13&t=2617

Using unpacked content is the best way to use the TMW client when you want to do development.

Since you have 0.0.28.1, and you seem to know how to use git, just clone tmwdata and use -d to reference it when running the client.

Hi friends, well, at last I did it!!!! Thanks so much for your help!!!

I exported the proxy enviroment variables and run tmw, the client downloaded from updates.manaworld.org all the files.
Now, a question:

Can I put those files in a local webserver and change the update server in the eAthena Server? That is for people without access to internet.


Regards!!!
