Thread: [Server Enhancement] The Beginning

This first part is not required for people who already have there own server working, but mainly its just for the new people
First off you will need to do my how to make a private server tutorial
or you can skip to the next part
Layout:

Requirements
Installing Java
Setting Environment Variables
Downloading WinRar
Downloading Client
Downloading Source
Setting-Up No-Ip and Hamachi
Getting No-Ip To Work

1. Requirements

To get your server working you comply to the following requirements:

256 MB Ram
Java Installed - Read Step 2
A Working Client
A Source

2. Installing Java

The latest version of Java is JDK 6u1
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

When you click on the link this page will load up:


Click on Download next to JDK 6u1

Click accept and it should refresh the page to look like this:


Tick the box then choose which way you want to download:
Offline or Online Installation

Well Done! You have installed the latest version of java!

3. Setting Environment Variables:
To allow your computer to run the server you need to set your environment variables

First open my computer, then right-click on my computer and click properties

Now click on advanced

This Is What It Should Look Like:


Ok near the bottom it says Enviroment Variables

Click on that, and a new window looking like this should open:


Under

System Variables

Click the New button and a new window opens up.

For the Variable Name Put: classpath
For the value put: C:\Program Files\Java\Java\jdk1.6.0_01\bin\

Now click OK

Now look for a variable in System Variable called path. Highlighting, by clickin on it once, and click EDIT.

Rename it: PATH
Replace the value with this:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\Sy stem32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01\bin

Click OK then Ok again and that's it

FOR THIS TO WORK PROPERLY YOU MUST RESTART YOUR COMPUTER

4. Getting WinRar

To start off with your private servers you will need Winrar. IT is the base to downloading nearly everything to do with private servers.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

5. Download A Client
To play private servers you need to have a client. Moparscape is the first, and basic client to use. I recommend that you use it, unless you want to use someone else's.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

6. Downloading A Source
To make "YOUR" own private server you need a source to work it. Here are some common sources.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Download one of the sources above. Open a folder where you want you're server to be and make a new folder and call it - Server
Using WinRar, extract it to the folder Server

5. Setting Up No-IP and Hamachi

Ok ill start off with hamachi, because im not explaining it. For hamachi go to:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and follow the steps

No-Ip

First of all you will need to go to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Now register an account.

Ok now go to the home-page and the top you should see downloads.
Click on it. It should look like this:



Now click on the tab "Your No-IP" and on the left navigation bar click Add
For the hostname put your server name, then choose what you want to
be at the end: e.g. no-ip.info, no-ip.biz, servegame.com

YOU DO NOT NEED TO FILL IN ANYTHING ELSE!
At the bottom click create host and you are done!

Well Done! You Can Now Host Your Server!

To host it, open no-ip and tick the box, and it should smile looking sorta like
this

Now, compile your server, then run it and it should say something like:

Starting Yourscape Server on 0.0.0.0 : 43594

NOW PEOPLE CAN LOG INTO YOUR SERVER w0000t!

Please post your comments!
Really i think i rushed this a bit
but here it is, any help just post
here!

Now if you already know that part above you can start here, and for those people who did the part above continue here...
They will begin with:
[Server Enhancement] (NAME)

Layout:
1. Naming Your Server
2. Changing the player starting point
3. Changing the player starting equipment
4. Adding a welcome menu
5. Choosing between a pk server or non pk server

1. Naming Your Server
Most servers will have there name in alot of places on the server, so normally you would like to have your own name. Now find out the name of the server

Code:

e.g. "Pimpscape", "Testscape", "Phonescape"

Open your client.java and press ctrl+h, write these in the appropriate boxes\;

Code:

Find What:"ServerName"
Replace With: "YourChosenServerName"

Fill in the boxes, doing as stated above.
Now click:

Code:

Replace All

and it should go through the text document replacing all the names

Save, compile and proceed to the next part!

2. Changing The Player Starting Equipment

Purpose: To change your start location

Difficulty: 0.5/10

Assumed Knowledge: x and y cords, search

Server Base: Pimpscape (WORKS ON ALL)

Classes Modified: Player.java

Procedure:
Step 1: Open player.java and search for

Code:

initial x and y coordinates of the player

Step 2: You will see

Code:

// initial x and y coordinates of the player
heightLevel = 0;
// the first call to updateThisPlayerMovement() will craft the proper initialization packet
teleportToX = 3254;//3072;
teleportToY = 3420;//3312;

Step 3: change the numbers in teleportToX = 3254; and teleportToY = 3420;

Step 4: Save and proceed to the next part

3. Changing the player starting equipment
Fixing this in a bit....

4. Adding a welcome menu
Ok for this tutorial, you are going to add the best possible welcome screen ever! it looks so cool... pic included

Purpose: Adding a welcome menu [includes how to make it load up when you log in]

Difficulty: 0.5/10

Assumed Knowledge: How to copy and paste

Classes Modified: client.java

Procedure:

Step 1: Open client.java and search for:

Code:

public void HelpMenu()

NOTE: IF YOU DON"T HAVE IT ADD THE CODE IN STEP 2!

Step 2: Replace everything inside it with:

Code:

public void HelpMenu()
{
String owner = "Hellz";
String LU = "Put you latest update here";
sendQuest("Welcome to @[email protected] Name ", 15950);
sendQuest("", 15960);
sendQuest("", 15961);
sendQuest("Server created by: @[email protected]"+owner, 15959);
sendQuest("Add writing here!", 15951);
sendQuest("Add writing here", 15952);
sendQuest("Add writing here", 15953);
sendQuest("Add writing here", 15954);
sendQuest("", 15955);
sendQuest("", 15956);
sendQuest("", 15957);
sendQuest("", 15958);

showInterface(15944);
}

Step 3: Change the text around to what you want

Step 4: Ok If you're server did not have the public void helpmenu() do step 5, 6 and 7

Step 5: Search For

Code:

if(GetLastLogin(mutedate) >= 2)

Step 6: You should see something like this:

Code:

if(GetLastLogin(mutedate) >= 2)
muted = 0;
else
muted = 1;
if(playerRights < 1) {
sendMessage("Welcome to Hellz Pk");
sendMessage("Latest Update: Fishing and cooking! can be found");
sendMessage("at the skilling area.");
}
if(playerRights == 1) {
sendMessage("Welcome to Hellz Pk");
sendMessage("Latest Update: Fishing and cooking! can be found");
sendMessage("at the skilling area.");
}
if(playerRights >= 2) {
sendMessage("Latest Update: Fishing and cooking! can be found");
sendMessage("at the skilling area.");
}

Step 7: Replace it with this:

Code:

if(GetLastLogin(mutedate) >= 2)
muted = 0;
else
muted = 1;
if(playerRights < 1) {
sendMessage("Welcome to Hellz Pk");
sendMessage("Latest Update: Fishing and cooking! can be found");
sendMessage("at the skilling area.");
HelpMenu();
}
if(playerRights == 1) {
sendMessage("Welcome to Hellz Pk");
sendMessage("Latest Update: Fishing and cooking! can be found");
sendMessage("at the skilling area.");
HelpMenu();
}
if(playerRights >= 2) {
sendMessage("Latest Update: Fishing and cooking! can be found");
sendMessage("at the skilling area.");
HelpMenu();
}

5. Choosing between a pk server or non pk server
Ok now its before you move on its time to decide whether you want your server to be a pk or non-pk server. Here is a bit of an explanation....

PK Server - These servers are for people to have fun and kill each other. It means that the training will be easy, you should be able to get money easy, there usually isn't any skills, basically the whole of the area you can fight in (except buildings), and its just made for people to have lots of fun! I will write a special tutorial on how to make your server a cool PK server!

Non-PK Server - These servers are for people to train there skills, earn money, fight monsters, pk a bit, have FUN, and basically work hard for things. It shouldn't have cheat commands (get lvls quick, item spawn ect.) I will write a special tutorial on how to make your server a non-Pk server!

Ok, this tutorial is now finished. The next tutorial will be released very soon!
