mini to public conversion

[maverick3n1]

After dealing with all of the limitations of mini-login, I've decided I want to setup a public login server. Can I do that easily with my existing setup, or will I need to wipe the characters/accounts since the public doesn't use IP specific accounting? I'd like to keep the characters I have, but convert it to public.

You should not have to change anything except the LoginType and some configs in the XML. The data is good for either (you won't lose char data).

what is the LoginType...I too am trying to create a Public server. The minilogin server works great! However, I thought I had to only change the server type to public (where ServerMode=MiniLogin).
Any Ideas?

We already have all the issues as far as DNS and Dynamics all setup. Just need this final step...

Thanks in advance,

the Variables table in the database....
change Logintype (i think its called that) to Public..or anything except MiniLogin will work, pretty sure.

hope this helps/////

lol, pretty sure you are wrong. I am not trying to sound mean, but just changing the variables in the database will NOT work. You have a start.bat that is executing the minilogin executable and you have addresses that are being directed to minilogin...

Does anyone know how to make the minilogin LoginServer work as a public server?

Thanks,

Well, he probably thought you read up and knew what he was talking about - you have to read Wiki and search these forums for answers, In fact, this thread is not called for, as it is already been discussed many times. They are just trying to be nice.
