Īgain, no help on the installation, once youre done open Visual C# and click Open Project.
My compiler/IDE of choice is Microsoft Visual C# Express, its totally free and very reliable, so Im going to ask you to download it from. Now you need to compile the sourcecode you just downloaded, if youre reading this you should already know how to, nontheless Im gonna try to walk you trough it. Once the installation finished, move to where you would like to have it check out the sourcecode and rightclick, then select SVN Checkout.Įnter and make sure Head Revision is selected, then click OK. Should you not be interested in emulator development, the C# language and DOL itself, skip this.įirst of all, you should download and install. Now we get to the knitty gritty, getting a fresh build of DOL sourcecode from their SVN repo, compiling it, setting it up with both XML and MySQL and grabbing some databases for it.
Note: I wont tell you how to run a premade server pack with MySQL, neither will I give any more support than the one above. In case you dont know how to connect to a Dark Age of Camelot freeshard or are waiting for an explanation on admincommands, I will provide you with an explanation further down. If you have done this, go back to the BIN folder and doubleclick start.bat, if you have done everything correctly, the server should load up and others should be able to connect. Navigate to the BIN/confid folder and open serverconfig.xml in your texteditor of choice, I chose notepad for simplicity.Īs you see, the rootdirectory does not fit the one you chose, so change it as in the following screenshot. When you go to that folder, youll see one SRC and one BIN folder, apparently the author has included the sourcecode of his package for you to change and recompile, but youre lazy, so well skip that. To be honest, I tend to avoid pre made things because the people who made them usually are pretty clueless about what theyre doing, anyways package looks promising.ĭownload and extract it in some folder, doesnt really matter which one, I chose H:/guide/Troglart (matter of fact, Troglart is the one who made the package you are just extracting, credits go to him). However, most of those packages are incredibly out of date and will (!! stop being able to receive connections once DAoC updates to 1.85 (if not earlier).
What I am not going to answer is questions about programming and C#.Īt first, make sure your router is forwarding ports 1030 both UPD and TCP, else noone else will be able to connect to you.įor the lazy ones of you, people have made so called pre made serverpacks, which means they already have databases and some special things that the builds supplied by DOL do no have. This guide features one short explanation in case you dont really care about the actual emulator and just want to get yourself ready to go, and one significantly longer one that features checking out the latest source from the DOL repo, compiling it, its config (XML, MySQL and the finding of databases).
I WILL IGNORE YOU IF YOU DON'T.Allright, here comes my guide to the Dark Age of Camelot emulator named DOL.
