[Guide]How To Compile Ascent

[SectorSeven]

Like if you built Ascent in Debug mode you must also build the scripts in Debug. If you built Ascent in Release, the scripts must also be built in Release mode.

I will delete everything and try again... I am pretty sure I did do that but I might have not... can't remember..lol.

Hey it worked now! Awesome! Thanks for your help! +rep
I have one more question... if I compiled Ascent on my desktop does my Ascent folder have to always stay on the desktop for the server to work? Or can I move the Ascent folder to my c:\Ascent for example. Do I have to compile everything again if I move it?

I got everything compiled correctly but now my server can't connect to the database I have... it's says that user: moocow @ localhost password YES is trying to connect and is denied... moocow is not me.. I edited my realmlist config and it still does it... what am I missiing?

Here is a picture

1.) You don't run realmserver
2.) Looks like your allowed IPS are messed up see this guide: http://www.mmowned.com/forums/emulator-server-guides/127672-cidr-you-what-heck-allowedips.html

Enjoy!

Well thank you for linking that guide but unfortunately I don't understand it It just confused me more... I did edit my ascent-logonserver.conf and put the stuff in there but my server still denies the IP... all I want to do is make it public.

Nice might give it a try.

First I would like to say that your guide has helped me allot and SectorSeven, you have been a great help! I followed the guide you made here and the guide you linked on the AllowedIPs and now I have my own core on localhost(still trying to figure out how to make it public).

I am still learning as I do this... the problem(lack of experience) I have now, is my server has no NPCs what so ever in it at all. What am I missing? Plus, do I have to recompile my core every time I update OpenAscent with the svn? You see what I did is I moved my old database into the new core so I would still have my accounts and character and stuff. Now I can't create new characters or see NPCs. Go Objects still appear fine... it's seems the game doesn't communicate with my logon database... what did I miss here? Thank you so much! +rep

I am using Howlings masterpiece Database.... I can't create new characters, I don't have NPCs. It must be something else because my characters that I made before I switched to OpenAscent are still available to play on... plus my custom start zone objects are still in their right place. Just no NPCs and no more character creation... I don't know what I am doing wrong.

sorry I needed to delete this post but I couldn't find the delete option.... just this post.... sorry my bad.. I was replying to someone's post in this thread but their posts were removed... now it looks like I am multi posting when I didn't mean too...

HMMM

internethero its me expirationdate.

for some reason every post that i posted got deleted and so did i!

wtf mate. lol

well i found an mySQL from howlings blizzlike repack.

but when i try to make mine public it sais my ip was denined. because of a password?

[SectorSeven]

You are missing a database. I'll write a guide on this soon.

[frostyman]

When i try to compile ascent, i do exactly what the guide says but i keep getting:

Build: 1 succeeded, 4 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped

please can anyone explain to me what i might be doing wrong.

[ikuze]

hey frosty man. you got aim. alot easier to explain

message me aim:unbreakable109

[SectorSeven]

Did you do the library files?

[ikuze]

this nub name to the left<<<<< ikuze didnt do that at first.^^^

lol

[ikuze]

. The "bin" folder. Browse back to the trunk folder and it should be there.
Double-click the "Release" folder, and there is your Ascent. Now copy/paste these files to another folder on your Desktop or wherever.


do we just put the database shit in the new folder or take every database. shit logon server world realm, and all the files to?

[SectorSeven]

No, the database stuff goes in your database. (Example: Navicat Database Management System)

[ikuze]

hey man sorry i got all that stuff figured out ^^^^

but ok, so i have fully figured everything out. all my DB and configs but when i start my logonserver. access denied 'root'@'localhost' <using password:yes>

well i entered in my password i changed it to acsent. and its not working here is my config


# LogonDatabase Section
#
# These directives are the location of the `realms` and `accounts`
# tables.
#
# LogonDatabase.Host - The hostname that the database is located on
# LogonDatabase.Username - The username used for the mysql connection
# LogonDatabase.Password - The password used for the mysql connection
# LogonDatabase.Name - The database name
# LogonDatabase.Port - Port that MySQL listens on. Usually 3306.
# LogonDatabase.Type - Client to use. 1 = MySQL, 2 = PostgreSQL, 3 = Oracle 10g
#

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "dopephilosophers.servegame.org"
Username = "root"
Password = "acsent"
Name = "world"
Port = "3306"
Type = "1">


# Host Directive
#
# This is the address that the realmlist will listen on.
# To listen on all addresses, set it to 0.0.0.0
# Default: 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
#
# Note: ISHost is the interserver communication listener.
#

<Listen Host = "0.0.0.0"
ISHost = "0.0.0.0"
RealmListPort = "3724"
ServerPort = "8093">

# Server console logging level
#
# This directive controls how much output the server will
# display in it's console. Set to 0 for none.
# 0 = Minimum; 1 = Error; 2 = Detail; 3 = Full/Debug
# Default: 3
#

<LogLevel Screen = "0"
File = "-1">

# Account Refresh Time
#
# This controls on which time interval accounts gets
# refreshed. (In seconds)
# Default = 600
#

<Rates AccountRefresh = "600">

# Accepted Build Range Setup
#
# These two directives set up which clients will be
# allowed to authenticate with the realm list.
#
# Set these to the same builds that the server was
# compiled for.
#
# As of the last update, version 2.1.1 was build 6739.
#

<Client MinBuild = "6739"
MaxBuild = "7799">

# WorldServer Setup
#
# RemotePassword
# This directive controls the password used to authenticate with the worldserver.
# It must be the same between the two configs. If it is not, your server will
# not register.
#
# Default: "change_me_logon"
#
# AllowedIPs
# This section MUST be completed, otherwise all attempts to link your servers will fail.
# These "Allowed" fields are a space-seperated list of CIDR-form IP addresses that are allowed
# to make server connections to your logonserver, and register realms.
# For example, everything in the 127.0.0.* range would be:
# 127.0.0.0/24, as 24 of the bits must match the 127.0.0.0
#
# To allow a single IP,
# 1.3.3.7/32, would allow only 1.3.3.7 to connect as 32 of the bits must match.
#
# AllowedModIPs
# In the same form as AllowedIPs, these are the IPs that are allowed to modify the database
# (adding bans, GMs, account permissions, etc)
#

<LogonServer RemotePassword = "ascent"
AllowedIPs = "1.3.3.7/32"
AllowedModIPs = "1.3.3.7/32">

Is your firewall blocking it?
