K heres a recap of what ive done so far
Cleared out the SQL database and started from scratch
Made the sa user login like we used to in old ei
used the pass NIUZICAI ( the one already used in !setup.txt )
Followed the video for the SQL database details
Made a D:\Data\ folder and made sure HeroCommon path was pointed at it
Added all the login id's in SQL security section but used NIUZICAI as password
Made sure each had access to its own database plus made sure the sa login had global access and all priviledges.
Checked thru all the TBL 's in all the databases making sure ip's and server name said 127.0.0.1 & ktest.
To make an account i added my login and pass in the TBL_ACCOUNT making sure the very last FLD_SECEDE says N otherwise the account isnt valid
Also added my login to TBL_ACCOUNTADD and in Game1 i Did the Same to TBL_ACCOUNT (but i dont think itwas realy needed tbh)
In the the ODBC added everythig as show previous but used NIUZICAI p/w
LoginSRV i used
DSN ~ Account
login ~ sa
Pass ~ NIUZICAI in both parts
DbSRV i used
Game ~ Game
Login ~ sa
Pass ~ NIUZICAI
also
Account ~ HeroCommon
Login ~ sa
Pass ~ NIUZICAI
this all fits the un-edited !setup.txt. i did change the !servertable.txt tho to say ktest.
<EDIT>Forgot to add i used the the tool to decode mongen.txt1 as ye man Soul below mentioned and stuck it in the real mongen.txt this was more by accident than intent, playing about with that decrypt tool in the Envir folder i tried both encrypted and unencrypted mongen.txt out of curiosity n it paid off. i guess i wasnt the only one lol
i get gate open with both server files plus the 3 files in the eiserver.rar
Can login and make all 3 classes with both version of the client files
I can get into the game with the euro client but get kicked with the incorect client version error.
If i try to use the supplied client i get past the gm message and the ok button but get a black screen from then on and have to alt-f4.
Stuck now, could it be the txt and map files from wolfy not matching the supplied client right. Seems to be now ive got so far, because of the mixture of different file sources things arnt happy.
Will try again when the torrent finnishes, i cant get any further than above
