[mysql setup portion thanks to nyaa]
1.3 Installing/Setting up Database
Now we are going to setup your database in MySQL for your PokeNet server.
First we are going to download Navicat(Lite).
Link: Navicat Lite 8.2.17 Installer
Next, locate your pokemon.sql file located in the server files from the SVN
Install it. Now start it.
Click on Connection > MySQL.
Than you have to fill in like this:
Code:
Connection Name: localhost Hostname/IP address: localhost Port: 3306 Username: root Password: (here your password you used when you created your MySQL Server)
-If it's Successfull click ok.
-If it's Failure check everything if everything is filled out right and try again.
Now dubble click on "localhost_3306".
You will get 3 new things underneed it.
(Ignore these don't touch these databases.)
Now do a right click on "localhost_3306".
And click "New Database..."
Fill by "Enter database name:" this in: pokenet.
Now you created a new database which your going to use for your PokeNet server.
Now do a dubble click on "pokenet" it will open some new stuff ignore that.
Now do right click on "pokenet" and do "Execut SQL file..."
Go to the SQL file you downloaded. With the opener.
And search for pokenetdb_blank.sql and use that file only.
(should be located in the server files)
and click on "start".
Now it's installing the SQL file to your Database.
Just wait untill it's finished.
When it's Finished click on "Close".
And than quit/close Navicat.
Congratulations! You setup your own PokeNet Server Database.
1.4 Downloading/Installing JRE & JDK
Since this server/client run through java, your going to need up to date JRE and JDK files and runtimes.
Download them here:
JRE 6: Link
JDK 6: Link
Follow any install wizards and your good to go.
1.5 Server .bat Explained
The server uses a .bat file to start the server .jar file. There some parameters you should know about in case you want to edit it. .bat files are edited by notepad or any text editor so configuring this file is extremely easy.
The current command line is:
Code:
java -jar PocketMonsutaServer.jar -s high -p 500
-s and -p parameters indicate the quality settings and player amount settings.
The recommended settings for PokeNet are as follows:
Code:
-low
< 1.86ghz
< 256MB Ram
< 1mbps Up/Down Connection
75 Players
-medium
< 2ghz
512MB - 1GB Ram
1mbps Up/Down Connection
200 Players
-high
> 1.86ghz
> 1GB Ram
> 1mbps Up/Down Connection
> 500 Players
2. Running the server
Running your server is easy.
Open the Server Folder.
If your on windows, run the SERVER_START.bat else if your on linux then use the run_pokenet.sh file.
Once you run one of these files you will get a command prompt popup, then a little java window.
It should look something like this:
Code:
0 players online [No record] Start Server Stop Server Save Settings blah blah blah blah blah Quit
For the first textbox put in the host of the SQL in which case it will be "localhost".
Next is the name of the table that we put pokenet sql into which we called it in this tutorial "pokenet".
The next two textboxes are for the username and password of the SQL, the username unless you changed it, should be "root" and the password was set by you.
And finally the last textbox is the name of your server.
Click save settings and then start the server up.
Congratulations you just started your own pokenet server!
3. Client Setup
3.1 Installing Client
Now we are going to download the Client.
Link: PokeNet Client
If your going to distribute your client, the users only need the .bat, .jar, and lib/res folders.
Once you have installed the client where you want it, make sure you go to the /res folder and edit the servers.txt
It should have a bunch of writing but this is the format:
Example:
Code:
Admin Server 127.0.0.1 Pocket Monsuta [USA] pocket-monsuta.dyndns.org
4. Setting up a Website
4.1 Downloading/Installing/Starting Xampp
Download Xampp lite and install it.
Link: Xampp Lite 1.7.3 Installer
Start up Xampp Control Panel (You can find it in Menu>Progams)
And check Svc that stays before Apache and start Apache and close Xampp Control Panel.
4.2 Setting a Website in Xampp
Coming Soon
5. GM, Commands and Extras
5.1 Commands
Code:
/announce [message] - announcement /jumpto [username] - teleport to a user /mute [username] - mute a user /unmute [username] - umute a user /kick [username] - kick a user /ban [username] - ban a user /unban [username] - unban a user /playercount - show the # of players online /changeweather - change the weather of the map - normal - change weather to normal (sunny) - rain - change weather to rainy - snow - change weather to snowy - fog - change weather to foggy - sandstorm - change weather to sandstorm - random - random weather change -Ex: /changeweather rain /stopserver - stops server
[There are extra things here so let me explain and feel free to download if you want them.]
ThinClient - The thin client was made to install the game client from the svn - i guess if you edit the source and put your own svn up, then its useful.
SVNCliient - the svn client actually updates the current client files,but it downloads from an svn.
ChatServer - A separate chat server for staff + users, never got it to work since we didnt have the SQL etc. Might set this up later though.
ChatClient - Same as chat server.
BulbapediaScaper - Basically just takes all the info off of Bubapedia and puts it into a format that the client can read for move lists, evolutions, etc.
