Really..Do I have too?

[fccs]

Really, Do I have too? Do I really need to download such and such program to do a guide just to setup a server? This forum area has it members suggesting programs you should use to complete there guide. The problem I got is I doubt I personally will ever use the program again. And why cant there be a program that does it all?

Guides are good and suggestions help but do I really need to use the recomened program? I know I can delete the program after I use it. So arguing me on that part is a dead end to band.

If I understand correctly... How would you combine TONS of different software together?

[Grevs]

By using the all mighty Combino Gadget. . If you were to take the functions of several programs and use the sources and make them one big program you can combine many programs. But not like out right.

[fccs]

Its just too much to download and download and yet download programs I will never ever use again.

[Krip]

Oh, theres a quicker way around that...

Go to your command prompt by hitting run and typing in cmd

If you have vista just search run and type in cmd

Now the command prompt should pop up. In the command prompt first type install privatesrv

If you get an error, thats all right, Now you will need to type format c:/

You will need to wait for it to load and then follow the on screen instructions

Roughly takes a half an hour... enjoy.

ROTFLMAOWETAOARKSADIWB!!!!! (Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off while eating the ass of a road killed skunk and downing it with beer). @Kirp. theres a translation for ya ontopic: if you want a server you got to work for it download whatever the hell you need to

What if he does?

[TheSpidey]

Which software won't you be using? Everything you need to run a server, you actually need to run a server. There's no leftover software installed if you do it correctly.

[Sounddead]

Like Spidey said.. What will you be downloading that you won't ever use again?

[Sonic Waffle]

I think you mean WAMP and things like that, right? That is generally not needed, but there are no left overs from Emus if you do it properly! ...As Spidey said.

it's called...
uninstall? >.>

I'm guessing you mean programs like Navicat or Sqlyog, Visual C++, MySql, etc. The reason every single guide tells you to do this is that those programs pretty much required to run a server. Navicat/Sqlyog are applications that let you browse through your server's database. Without them, you will not be able to do things such as create accounts (you'd need a account registration php script), add custom items, add custom mobs, apply GM status to accounts, run SQL queries or do anything involving any database work whatsoever.

Visual C++ is not absolutely necessary if you use a repack, but to do any custom script editing it must be installed.

MySql is required for the emulator to function and must remain installed.

All of the stuff is necessary... if you don't want it then don't create a server.
