[NEW] EMU Expert Question/request/FAQ thread, QUESTIONS HERE!

[johm2]

This has been bugging me for a few days. I bought a domain name and some hosting ($5.95/mo kind of deal) and want to get my server to be hosted through it instead of Hamachi or anything of the such. This might be answered in another thread, but I can't find one that helps me do exactly what I want it to.

MSN - [email protected] if you can help me here instead, that would be great. Thanks!

you bought a website host not a server host dude :'(

wisdumb, here's the bad line:

Motd = "Welcome to Honor and Glory

You forgot to close the string :P

For Question 1 - You are god?

[johm2]

you bought a website host not a server host dude :'(

I understand that, but that is not what I asked. I'll run the server from my computer and have it be accessed through my domain name/DNS/hosting.

NEW QUESTION!

How would I go about making a container item. Example: Say on my private server I wanted a person to greet you when you spawned and give you a [Starter Package]. Well, then you can open the [Starter Package] and get basic items such as a 30 slot bag, a mount or two and 1000 gold. How might I do this?

Thanks in advance! I'll +Rep ya this evening if you help me =P

There is a post in the ascent forums for guides that shows how to make a container with items in it.. then i would assume you could check the posts on how to edit starter items to have them start with the items or maybe look into adding the items to a Custom Vendor you spawned there and have them be able to purchase all the items for free by spawning a vendor adding a 30 slot bag. your mounts and the 1000 gold item ....

IN windows theres a place where you can set up Services so that certain Domain names are forwarded to your IP and such.. after doing this add in your config files that the IP your hosting the server on is your domain name.. this should work those problems out for ya i think.

IF not there are 100`s of guides on mmowned about setting up public servers without Hamachi.

heres a link to the guide for making server public and has section about editing the hosts and stuff..

I take no credit of course for the guide as i did not write it.

Hopefully that helps

# Optional Settings
#
#    Starting Level
#	 This controls at which level characters are created. Range is from 1-70.
#	 Default: 1
#
#    Level Cap
#        This variable controls the level that stats will be generated up to internally.
#        Beyond this level players can still see a higher level visually but their stats won't
#        increase beyond this point.
#        Default: 70
#
#    Generated Level Level Cap
#	   This variable controls the level at which stats will generate up to. Generally the formulas go
#	   crazy after level 70 so this way you can keep the high visual but stats at a reasonable value.
#	   Default: 70

Delete them, then click build and then build. If that does not work try a rebuild.
