Windows Server Installer :: Modular & Scripted

[kris1]

I can't believe there is not a better explanation of how to use this. It's really frustrating.

What is frustrating? It would help if you give more information

I'm sure it's me, and my own lack of understanding. So, I don't mean to blame anyone.

I'm just lost.
I feel like there should be more pictures showing what you should be seeing with each step?

Once I have it installed, and I have a server in a folder...

How do I start the server so that it's ready for someone to log into it. a picture of the desktop, with all the proper windows open, and stuff happening, would probably help. I feel like every time I try I get a different result. Again, I'm sure it's me.

I feel like this isn't any more complicated than setting up your eqhost file and shortcut, but I'm still not getting it. And I feel like, just like the first time I was faced with setting up my EQ install for EQEmu servers, once I get it right, I'll be shocked at how simple it is, and it's just the instructions that seem daunting.

Anyways, I guess where I'm stuck now is, how do I make my server accessible to a player, not the IP address, I think I figured that out, or can. But rather, what do i need to do from a freshly booted computer, to put my server in the state where it's playable...what files need to be run. In fairness to you guys, it may be working fine, and I just don't know that i already did it. I'm THAT lost. LOL

I'm sure these instructions are sufficient. I'm sure it's just me. And I'm sure that when i get it, I'm going to embarrassed for not having gotten it on my own. So I apologize for coming across as I'm sure I did.

I'll keep trying, and reading. I have a day off to myself today, so perhaos when I'm not trying at the end of the day, when I only have an hour, and am already frustrated, I'll have better luck.

OR!!!

Maybe a carpenter/stone mason should not be trying such things...LOL. I'm open to that idea.

Sincerely
Kris

You should start your own thread for this problem and provide more information surrounding the issue.

So I went to use the following link for the setup guide to begin setup of a server but the links do not work.
Here is the link I tried

Few folks have reported issues with the Windows install as of recent so I pulled it down and did a fresh install on a Windows VM

Things appear to be looking good

Weird problem here.
Server is up. I can log in and play BUT im missing every vanilla+ spell.
Everytime i try to scribe a newer spell, i get :
Spell ID: xxxx is an unknown spell and cannot be scribed.

RoF2 client, Win10 64. Any ideas?

Thats not necessarily an issue with an installer, that's more we only have so many spells imported into the DB. You can import spells from a more recent client or spells file by using import_client_files.exe in the server directory. I think you need to create a folder called "import" in the server directory and put your spells_us.txt in that and then run the import. I don't remember offhand, but its a good reminder we should have a usage doc on it on Github

Where would I report a bug? Not in the installer, but in the server or client.
