First of all, hi people =]. Basically im new to LOM development and server building. Played this game for god knows how long and love for it has driven me to make an attempt at making a server. Ive had a look around already and it seems to point in the direction of using TD 2.3Mir files? But if im making a server to compete with the likes of the best surely i would want to use 2.6? If anyone could shed light on the problems with 2.6 it would be a great help. Also i have had a look at the MIR IV post and the thread by JamieM regarding their versions of mir (i have played both 2 and 3) Merging the two would be awesome. Jamie mentioned a general release, i assume to server makers to use his files to create their own? Would this be more worth waiting for or could it be transferrable at a later date say from 2.3/2.6 - Clash as its called? Again any advice would be excelent. Cheers =D.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for anyone to release any files remotely worth using. The reason you've been "pointed in the direction of using 2.3" is simply because that is the only stable set of files (bar 1.9) we have available to the general public.

Regardless of what files you use, if you expect to "compete with the best" then you've got a lot of learning to do.

No doubt ill have alot of leaning to do =P. Its just ive seen on 2.3 the features are nothing on what for example 4H and Elysian have to offer. Are these features strictly due to having coders avalible or can they be added to 2.3? Things such as quest, on 2.3 my quest systems only work coming up on the chat box "1/20 hens killed" Where as i on Ely and 4H they come up on the side, small things like this that do impact the server.

TD's 2.3 files are closed sources so you can't add anything new unless its scripted in, like you said a quest system that displays the kill count in the chat box.

FourHeroes and Elysian are the only current servers running on custom files, so almost anything can be added to them by the coders.

If you are just starting out, i'd suggest starting with TD's, learn the basics and then either launch on TD's files or wait for a release.

One thing I will say, don't be put off just because some servers have coders, coding isn't everything. OldSkool, running on TD's 2.3 files, beat a server that had coders and custom files.

Cheers cels, that was one thing that was kind of making me have second thoughts (The ability of some coders on server teams i wont have) But cheers ill give it a pop anyways.

Just check tutorials around the forum, get familiar with the files. Then if there is a release in the future, you will have a good head start :drool1:

2.6 server files have small bugs, ppl reported here only database bugs, but database can be easly fixed anyone.

I never seen a person around here that actually specified some engine bugs.
My test server was online lots of weeks so ppl can play and test, and no1 cared to write an engine bug, but instead all want perfect working files.

Just working on the 2.3 TD files atm, getting to grips with SQL. Some ingame bugs like the goldbarbundle (Just removed all goldbars,bundles n chests lol) Drops are hard to actually get right, gotta think how many mobs are spawning n how rare u want gold // items.. all in time though i suppose. Can 50m gold in bag cap be raised also?

 

[Gezza]

yeh in the setup txt HumanMaxGold=999999999 or think you can do it onthe m2server too, toadd max gold, Goldbarbundle bug is just a npc script error no need to delete all them :P easy fix.

No need to remove them...it's just a script bug on the npc's. A typo infact.

2.6 does not have SQL, they have a file called Data.mdb that can be opened with Office Access.

Use this game client:
