questions

[Jessee]

Hi there, I am sry to ask questions that have been asked many times before.. but i'm at a loss as what to do next.
I have been trying for 2 days to make myself an admin on my server.. i've tried all that I have found online to the best of my ability.. I think I need someone to walk me through it step my little baby step.
Another problem is that I cannot port to Oceanus, Housing or a few other places...
I tried to get someone else from a different ip to see if they could get on my server but were unable to.. not sure how to fix that.. I did ad the ip into the Data base.. prolly not in the right area or something?? sigh!
Unfortunately I am not highly skilled in this area, but am determined to make it work.
I apologize again for this lame Questions.. and I appreciated any help anyone is willing to give me.
Thx, Jessee

i've figured out how to become an admin.. now I need to figure out how to make my Channelers work, make it so the NF keeps aren't all glitched and white looking, spawn the rest of DF, and make my stable masters accept tickets, I need it so my son who has a different ip can get on.. I have other puters on the same router.. they can get in.. just not different ip's... .. plus a million other things i'm sure hehe.

http://www.dolserver.net/articles/ here u can find many articles how to setup a server correctly. thats the first thing

the second: You can set the Admin PrivLevel in db in account table or u write in the server client /plvl 3 <PlayerName> so it is instant admin instead of relogging the whole daoc client. Channeler are already implemented you jsut need to take a look in the dolsharp (svn checkout) foulder, u will find a LiveChanneler.cs or something like that, or you write it by yourself but i guess u dont know how, If u cant port to Oceanus with /debug on -> *j oceanus then u need to take a look in zones if this zone exists or other way if u have disabled this in serverproperty. 1 tip u also can set startuplocations in the table, but more u find in the articles which i posted on top...

ppl can just connect to your server, when the server is not in staff login True and if you do port forwarding. for that u just need to go into your router and open ports 10300 tcp and 10400 udp. 1 for connect and 1 for data file transfer.

i hope it helped have fun
best regards

Thx, I will check out the articles for sure.. and I have port forwarded, I am admin now.. and my Channeler is there, and he ports to some places, just not all.. doesn't port to housing or oceanus as well as a couple others.. but I will go through the articles and see if there is more that i'm missing.. which i'm sure there is :p .. thx so much for your response.

So I was looking though the articles and the one that is talking about teleports says to look for this in the Mob file : CODE:
DOL.GS.AlbionSITeleporter
DOL.GS.AlbionTeleporter
DOL.GS.CapitalTeleporter
DOL.GS.FrontierTeleporter
DOL.GS.HiberniaSITeleporter
DOL.GS.HiberniaTeleporter
DOL.GS.MidgardSITeleporter
DOL.GS.MidgardTeleporter
DOL.GS.ThroneRoomTeleporter

these do not exsit in my file.. which is most likely the problem :/

[Xanth]

do you have the final svn checkout ?

[Jessee]

I am very new to all this not sure of all the lingo... but I have the latest all in one package.. my priority right now, is making it so my Son can get on and help me... this is so frustrating.. i've done the port forwarding, which makes me use the router ip.. the 192.168..... my computers that are on that router can get on the server, but my son is on a different router so he cannot get on... not with my real ip. nor with the router ip.. I think my real ip needs to be configured into one of these files somewhere.. but i've looked a 100 times and read 100 sites.. I just don't know where to put it that makes any difference :/

outside world ---> outside ip ---> router opens the correct port and routes the requests on that port to the internal ip

So in other words if someone is coming in on port 1300 you setup the router to route all traffic on port 1300 to your server machine using the 192.168... internal IP. You need to open two ports for a DOl server as indicated in the guides.

Here is what my router setup looks like for Storm D2

Port Internal IP of server
10300 192.168.1.###
10400 192.168.1.###

### should be replaced with the actual address.

SVN refers to a program that can grab the source from an SVN repository. This is all the source code to the DOL server and is needed if you want to do any hard core scripting. To modify the server you need to know coding basics.

This guide from the FAQ section of articles summarizes the process.

I don't know coding basics at all.. but I am trying to learn as I go.. I am only on step on of a million prolly hehe.. and my router is set up correctly.. I guess what I keep trying to find out is what file do I put my real address in? not the router one.. cause people cannot connect to that one.. it has to be the real one...

[Jessee]

I tried to add an image of my port forwarding.. but it won't let me here.. but it says TCP 10300 UDP 10400 and then it has my routers ip in the ip addy spot 192.168.....

[Jessee]

OK.... finally got my Kid on .. so my port forwarding and ip stuff is all working.. now for the rest of the problems.. like no monsters in the dungeons.. like half my channeler locations don't work etc etc.. oh and we can buy houses.. but only with me jumping a person there.. can't customize the houses at all tho, on player or staff...

[Xanth]

then u miss the db of dol i guess try to get dolpubdb or the sniperwolf db(but i have problems)

[DigitalHytop]

I folks. New to this project myself. I'm having this same issue. I've installed the Autobuild, Sniperwolf and Whria versions. Both the Autobuild and Whria allow me to purchase houses but I have no ability to shift-click edit the house I place. Sniperwolf's database installed over Autobuild or Whria allows gives me the edit window and allows me to buy items and decorate as expected. But it has a lot of other issues. I'm really liking the Whria version so far since it seems to be the most complete. Getting the housing feature to work would make for a nice foundation to start building from.

I've tried everything I can think of to get around the problem with no luck.

[Jessee]

I have the database.. I think some stuff is missing tho
