Problem 1

starttimer exception...

Fix to problem 1
Make sure you have set up DB_Commander, with the root in BDE Administrator to the DB's folder.

If you havent then.... Download and install DB_Commander, go into Control Pannel, BDE Administrator, goto Object then NEW, name it HeroDB and find the path inwhich ur DB's are in, Apply the new infomation on the Object HeroDB and it should work fine.

If you have alrdy dun all this, then your StdItems probably has a problem in it somewhere

TY i already kno most of this BUT useful for noobs should be a sticky or i reckon a section should be made on "Guides And Fixes" and people can put their item,drop,spawn,mob,npc guides and there problem fixes

 

[Smeagol]

Cool Jicaa, very usefull. A admin should edit/correct/add a few & pin this.

 

[Wittin]

Very useful guide, i'll sticky it for a while

This was the first way I ever learned how to get the M2server.exe to Load:

Problem 3
M2Server error report when trying to run M2Server

Another Fix to Problem 3
1.Go to start menu
2.Go to "run" type ---> "msconfig"
3.Go to Services .. Locate SSDP DiscoveryServices click the box next to the name to disable... The check should nolonger be in box.
4.Click apply
5.Restart PC (Not sure if needed)

This way is used for people who do not like to use UnPnP . Or if it does not work.

 

[brimble2010]

[Tahriel]

[brimble2010]

check all of your idx numbers are in order in ur items db, the chinese writing means that it hasnt been translated, that all

 

[daydie]

i have downloaded it all but the server starter wont work it sed its missing a file called MSWINSCK.OCK and i have searced my comp 4 it and nt there i have down loaded it all again and it says the same

 

[marcnew19]

*edit* nevermind

 

[RoyalLobster]

When i run m2 i get Code=-1 whilst it is loading maps... any one know a fix for this one?

 

[Atomicide]

Means your missing maps from your maps folder in mir200

NOTE: For the very first problem about starttimer Exception, This can also be due to the fact u havent changed all the paths in the .ini files withing the server files.

[daniejam]

i d/l a new m2Server and when i try open i get

cannot open file .\!runaddr.txt

anyone help plz

 

[thephoenix]

The only way it can't open that i think is misstyped links to the file eg:

C:\mirserver\Mir200\!runaddr.txt or w/e you might have
D:\mirserver\Mir200\......................

I think it's that, been so long since i've had that mate tbh

 

[Martyn]

the !runaddr.txt is in the same folder as the m2server.exe check it again???

 

[Flamer]
