most server owners will know by now as time progresses the server being up more and more files/lines in db's are created, so i made this for people starting a server so that they dont make the same mistakes that i did.

1. first off is the databases, here are a few problems i have had in my time,

if your making a server from files LS3G-Chinese and 3.55Working some databases need to be mixed, for example.

the databases that come with LS3G-Chinese ARE translated BUT,

Game3G has a level 255 cap, the files dont, so you Can go to lvl 65535 etc etc but everytime u relog it will reset your character to last known settings,

Example,

player is level 254,
player levels to 255,
player relogs,
player is level 254 again with all progress lost in 255+

FIX, use databases from LS3G APART from Game3G, use the Game3G from 3.55Working. [MOD: You don't need to use the LSDB's at all, there are enough translated full 3.55 DB's around. Just use search or ask someone VIA pm.]

2.
Default00.txt,
NewUsers,
in default00.txt there is a line witch states CD to load NewUser.txt from HLSCRIPT,
it has a ; before the line,
FIX,
Delete the ; and it will work.

3.
Running AMS/Xampp
inside the backend folder your will find a file cotaining what DB's to load, some are set to game1, (from 3.38)
Set these to Game3G if you want them to work, [MOD: You don't have to use AMS to connect and create accounts, this can also be done by the launcher.]

4.
Why wont my MonAi's Work??
FIX,
the 1st line in Monster Db's needs to be set to 255 for monai's to work,
command to reload Monai's = @reloadmonai monstername "monai_def\monstername.txt"

5.
When editing MirGuidebook.txt alot of people (including me) dele '{' from the start and '}' from the end thinking its rubbish, if these are not in the script will not run

FIX,
add '{' to the start of the script and '}' to the end and it should work.


i will edit this post as i find more.

Hope you dont mind me adding to your post but another common mistake is

MurGuideBook.txt,
Editing,

Pretty sure this is the same for any System file as well.

another :)

...

when using KaoriMIM to add images to inventory,equip,store,ground.

the number shown is not right, its the number -1 that you need to add into the databases,
the image must be on the same number in all library's for it to work,
this only counts for the 4 wil/wix's.
weapon files and helmet files, hum's and females
are completely different.
