making a server tutorial

1. Java JDK 6.
Firstly, your going to need to download Java JDK 6, and allot of people that I've helped with making servers have a hard time downloading it either because they get the wrong one or the java download manager doesn't work right for them so I uploaded it to mediafire http://www.mediafire.com/file/3kjwmrmaymz/jdk-6u11-windows-i586-p.exe

2. Find a source.
once you've downloaded and installed that your going to need a source, again i uploaded one for you all to use. this was the first server I hosted, credits for this go out to the people that made it which I think was allstar and I know there's other ppl that worked on it so whoever made Forest Scape all credits go out to you for this. http://www.mediafire.com/file/tj4jndymlzt/HellzPkers.zip remember this is a silab server so you're going to need to use it with the silab web client or downloaded client.

3. Port Forwarding.
Now port forwarding is the most complicated part in getting your server up.. id do a whole in depth thing on it like all the other TuT's but I honestly don't see a point in it considering port forwarding is different for everyone because different people have different routers and everything so I'm basically just doing a short explanation on it.... To port forward your going to need to go to
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm
now go there and find your router click that find No-Ip and if it doesn't have No-Ip (the same way it didn't for mine) look for hamachi, its a similar program to no-ip but not as good for making a server but the guide for port forwarding on hamachi was alloooot of help in getting mine setup so if it doesnt have no-ip on the list of programs than look for hamachi.
Now port forwarding your going to want to get into your router port settings and add the no-ip program to the program list and add the port 43594 as the port. thats about as far im going to get into port forwarding right now and i explained why above.

to get no-ip go to www.no-ip.com register, download it and make a host like xscape.no-ip.biz or w.e whatever u want the name of the server to be

4. Environmental Variables.
Now this IS A MUST nothing for the server will work if you don't do this the server won't run right and the compiler won't work right either.

First go to the start menu, find My Computer and click View System Information, once in there click Advanced and then click Environmental Variables, now UNDER USER VARIABLES! find a variable called classpath and edit it put the following code in there
Code:
CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin;%CLASSPATH%;
if you dont already have classpath make a new variable call it classpath and put that in.

Then find a variable called PATH and put the following code in
Code:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin;
again if PATH isn't there make a new one call it PATH and put that in there
Now your done with the environmental variables.

5. adding/editing your server.
most server TuT's only do partial things on adding/editing I'm going to do a bit more than others Wink . now for editing shops which I'm sure your going to want to do, now find a CGF file called shops in the source files, click that and open it with notepad, once you do that find the shop name and just add the items and ill show you how to do that

//-----ShopID---ShopName----------------------------------------Sell----Buy-----Item----Amount--Item----Amount--Item----Amount--
shop = 11 Range_Shop 2 2 4827 100 2581 10
now that's the setup for it, where it says Range shop you can change the name to something else and by changing it in the CGF file that'll change the name of the shop when you trade that shop and where it says 4827 above, that's the item ID, if i remember right that item ID is for a Dark Bow so that shop will have Dark Bows in it and where it says 100 next to it, that shows how many it'll have in stock so it'll have 100 Dark bows, where it says shop = 11 thats the Shop ID and that determines what NPC has that shop you can change the npc by normally going into the client.java file NOT THE CLASS FILE! and hit ctrl + F and search for the shop ID and than change the NPCID thats there. it would look like this

} else if (NPCID == 550) { // Lowe
PutNPCCoords = true;
WanneShop = 11; // Varrock Armor shop

NPCID is 550 for Lowe now if you wanted to you could change that to something like 549 which i think is horvik and he'd have the dark bow shop.

now to edit item bonuses and shop prices. the setup is kind of like the shop setup but not quite, instead of going into the shops CGF file go into the items CGF file and hit ctrl + F and type in the item ID like 747 for glowing dagger and you can change the the bonuses of that which is usualy like 10k strength and attack and defence bonuses, you could change it from that to 15000 20000 or lower it to 100 or less to like 30 20 or whatever im sure you get the idea and for that it would be this

item = 747 Glowing_dagger A_black_obsidian_dagger,_it_has_a_strange_aura_about_it_-_it_seems_to_be_glowing. 1000000 10000000 10000000 999999 99999 99999 99999 9999999 999999 999999 999999 999999 999999 99999 999999

now changing the the Glowing_dagger won't change the in game name of it like it would the shops, but now the first three numbers there shows how much the shop sell/buy back price is if you were to sell it to the shop or buy one from the shop, the rest of the numbers are the bonuses, the first five are the attack bonuses, second 5 are the defence, and the last 2 are the strength and prayer bonuses.

now making yourself owner you would go into the file (not CGF just normal file) find your character file after you log into your server (but you have to be logged out before you save your character file) and change character-rights to 3, for hidden owner it would be 10.

changing the server name and everything now go into the client.java file in the source files open it with notepad REMEMBER THE JAVA FILE AND NOT THE CLASS FILE! than once again hit ctrl + F and search for the old servers name, in this case you would search for Hellzpkers or Hellz and change them to whatever you want your server name to be. than search Gara14 and F1r3 pur3 (me and than F1r3 Pur3 was the co owner i added in the coding i think) and change those names to your character name.

now once all of that is done use the compiler (which i edited because the one that came with it didn't work for me) don't click compile stuff that one didn't work for me. use the batch file that just says compile.

some commands

::banuser username
::ipban username
::staffzone
::god
:: ownerglow
:: pnpc NPCID here (turns you into the npc)
::npc NPCID here (spawns the npc)
:: pickup item ID item ammount, example :: pickup 00995 100
for non silab servers the pickup code would be :: pickup 995 100
there arent spaces between the :: and the pickup or pnpc but i had to put spaces in this TuT because of Winks if i didnt it would be this :ickup :npc , same deal with the :: owner glow thing



now to get people on your server just go here and add your server to the list http://www.moparscape.org/serverstatus.php than add it to the rune locus server status list and top list

and no this TuT was not leeched I typed it up myself but reposted it here because it got locked on the mopar forums
