Hello everyone, I know this is pretty much a DEAD game but hey it is still fun. I took it upon myself to search for the files and I found them. Only thing I didn't find was the guides.rar which is completely fine so I wrote a new guide and created a video tutorial that will be uploaded to youtube on my channel listed below. Check it out if you are new to creating Darkeden servers!

Anyway here are the files and my own written guide!

| Part 4 |
|------------|
|Server Setup|
| Networking |
--------------

After you've completed the steps shown above, click the green play button or simply click the "Power on this virtual machine" in the VMware box

Step 1: Wait until the a blue screen shows up then hit Enter, now you must wait until it loads

Step 2: When it's done loading ( You will know because it will say: )
loginid:
password:

Loginid: root
password: 123456

Once you've typed that in it will say you have no new mail.

Step 3: Now in the unix box type the following:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.5.10 broadcast 192.168.5.255
ifconfig eth0 down
netconfig

A blue menu will show up asking if you would like to setup networking

DO NOT USE A DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS!

Enter in the information below accordingly:

IP ADDRESS: 192.168.5.10
NETMASK: LEAVE IT
DEFAULT GATEWAY: 192.168.5.150
PRIMARY NAMESERVER: 192.168.5.150

Now highlight Ok and press enter

Step 4: Now in the unix box type, mysql -u root
that will connect you to the database

Step 5: Now in the unix box type, use mysql;

Step 6: Now that you've done that, type in the unix box the following:

insert into user (User,Host,Password) values ('localhost.localdomain', 'elcastle',PASSWORD('elca110));
insert into user (User,Host,Password) values ('192.168.5.10', 'elcastle',PASSWORD('elca110));

grant all on DARKEDEN.* to 'elcastle'@'localhost.localdomain';
grant all on USERINFO.* to 'elcastle'@'localhost.localdomain';
grant all on DARKEDEN.* to 'elcastle'@'192.168.5.10';
grant all on USERINFO.* to 'elcastle'@'192.168.5.10';

Step 7: Now in the unix box type, use DARKEDEN;

Step 8: Now in the unix box enter the information below:

update GameServerInfo set IP='192.168.5.10';
update WorldDBInfo set Host='192.168.5.10';
flush privileges;

quit;

Then type cd, this will bring you back to "root"... Now continue on with Part 5!

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


--------------
| Part 5 |
|------------|
| Configs |
--------------
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\Controls: \
\I = Edit \
\ESC = close \
\wq: = return to cd \
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
To edit the configs pay close attention!

Step 1: Type in the unix box, cd /home/darkeden/vs/conf

Step 2: Type in the unix box, ls

Step 3: Type in the unix box:

vi excel96-gameserver.conf

Once you've opened that file in the unix box press "i" on your keyboard to enter
edit mode.

Edit all the IP's to match: 192.168.5.10

Make sure before you exit (ESC) you change IsNetMarble to 0!

After you've edited all the IP's to match: 192.168.5.10, you may now exit by using (ESC) then typing wq: and pressing enter.

Now repeat for the loginserver.conf and sharedserver.conf
(NOTE: SET IsNetMarble to 0 in both loginserver.conf and gameserver.conf!)

vi excel96-loginserver.conf
vi excel96-sharedserver.conf

Step 4: After you've completed the task above you may now type cd to return to the main root directory.
Now that you're back in the root directory it's time to reset your VMware's network.

Type the following in the unix box:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

If you get all GREEN you did everything right.
IF you get RED you did something wrong.
IF you did get RED please go back and re-read my tutorial.

IF you got all green you are good to start the server!

Type, ./start

Now wait a few moments and if the unix box announces "INFINITE LOOP" that means the server is now online!

Congratulations, you've successfully created your very own DARKEDEN server!
